GROWTH? As the problems con-

tinue with District 150in Peoria, it seems only

natural that growth in thecommunities we serve willcontinue. The exodus willcontinue and probably ac-celerate with any economicimprovement. This posesa couple o questions. Willthe current ‘First Time andMove Up’ program aid this?

The ‘stimulus’ program isscheduled to end on April30 o this year. Secondly are the communities, andschool systems prepared orthis? We see it as not i it willhappen but how soon?

Dunlap, in particu-lar the school system, as isPrinceville is dealing withthis on a positive note.The next big growth couldvery likely occur along theI-74 corridor rom Peoriato Brimfeld. All o thesecommunities are close toPeoria and have transporta-tion systems to aid in com-muting. Schools and smalltown, or county, living play vital roles to the prospectivehomeowners relocating.

IS THE SCHOOL SYS-TEMS IN TROUBLE?

All schools in Illinois

are really struggling now that the state is orecasting substantial cuts, while cur-rently ar behind in pay-ments. Every school boardand the administrators aredealing with the problems.Perhaps the only good isthat the playing feld is lev-el. No school is exempt andall are seeking any unding source. Teachers and otherpositions within the school

districts are being told thatcutbacks are on the way.

However, planning becomes a problem whenunding take wild swingsand is extremely difcult toorecast. We recognize andsympathize with the chal-lenges most deal with on adaily basis.

As painul as thismay be, there might be abright side. Any ‘at’ willbe trimmed and perhapsa little more local controlmay be again established.How many dollars are be-ing spent in personnel and

other measures, not to edu-cation, but to meet and pro-vide unding. With the con-solidations, schools now arein reality a big business.

Schools represent ouruture and are the commondenominator o any com-munity and/or communi-ties as in consolidation. A good system is the back-bone o any community and vice versa.

IMPROVEMENTS? Reports are trickling in

o perhaps a slight improve-ment in the economy. Retailsales appear to be rebound-ing and other sectors seemto on a slight upswing. Re-cessions usually have a cyclein our economy. Given my age, I have seen this severaltimes in my lietime. Gov-ernment tinkering, how-ever, can expedite or hinder

the time rame. Hindering,in my opinion, is certainly taking place currently.

Take a positive atti-tude, let’s assume that 10%are unemployed and 10%are underemployed. Thistranslates to a whopping 80% doing OK. However,due uncer-tainties, suchas net worthdepreciating

via stocks,bonds, inter-est rates, realestate valuesand etc, tendto restrictconidenceand spend-ing. This ob-viously com-pounds the problem, sosales o all types slow downadding to the economic

woes. Both confdence andtime seems to lessen thateconomic withdrawal and

we eventually work our way out o any recession.

In the long run, reces-sions tend to automati-

cally adjust the economy rom excesses. The housing market, in particular cer-tain geographic areas, goesthrough a leveling out o the real value. Kind o like amassive ‘wake-up’ call. Un-ortunately, many peoplesuer fnancially but lie is

like that.C O M -

MERCIAL? T h e

s p e n d i n g a m o u n tboth in dol-lars and innumber o consumersshrinks con-tracting thee c o n o m y .The goal

is to seek the 80% to keepspending and support any fnancial improvementsand the job market. Here’san irony. Most businesscut their advertising andmarketing budget, thereby compounding the problem.

Most businesses have oper-ating budgets, including a

building, utilities, raw ma-terials, labor and advertis-ing. The easiest remedy isto slice the advertising bud-get that only compoundsthe problem. Your businessrelies on trafc, either ina store, by phone or othermethods. To generate thattrafc the consumer mustbe aware o what you oer!

Years ago I worked ora major company. Every

department had an annualbudget that was adhered to

with very ew exceptions.Only one department didNOT have a budget. Guess

which one? Yes, it was theadvertising department.This Fortune 500 Company realized that not only didthey have to advertise butbe nimble enough to adjustto any changes!

It pays to advertise butkeep it in perspective whileresearching how and where

you can get maximum re-turn on the investment. Ohby the way, we do advertis-

ing!!!

On Tuesday, March 2,parents, students, com-munity members andstakeholders o the DunlapSchool District met at Dun-lap Valley Middle School asstakeholders were able toprovide input in a commu-nity planning orum on the5 year Strategic Plan pre-sented by the district.

Dunlap School Dis-trict’s Superintendent, Dr.Jay Marino, opened themeeting with a question,“How do we take a high per-orming district and take itto the next level?”

Therein lies the pur-pose or the pre-emptivemeasures the district is tak-ing to explore implemen-

tation o a Strategic Planor the uture o DunlapSchools.

Since September o

2009, a team o stakeholders(parents, students, sta andcommunity members) havebeen reviewing data, ana-lyzing strengths, and iden-tiying opportunities orimprovement to determinethe desired uture state o the school district. Inor-mation about the StrategicPlanning process; including committee membership,meeting resources, anda variety o data, is avail-able on the District’s web-site @ www.dunlapcusd.net (some o the in

Akron Princeville Am-bulance (APA) was oundedin March 13, 1980 by FredMcNeeley, Richard Hoer,

Ken Martin, Ray Delbridge,Marv Donsbach and Mick O’Dea. They did this so ourcommunity would not haveto wait or an ambulancerom Peoria.

APA exists completely on commu-nity donationsand revenuerom calls. Wereceive NOstate or ederalmoney. APA

will respond24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a

year and charges less thanPeoria ambulance services.Each call requires 2 EMT’sand 1 driver.

APA operates on 12hour shits. (6A-6P and 6P-6A). There can be some ex-ibility with the shits. Thismeans we need to man 120EMT shits and 60 drivershits each month. Current-ly we have 28 members and1 high school student.

APA currently has topay personnel to help pick up extra shits. Since this isan all volunteer organiza-tion APA needs to recruitmore volunteers. APA

needs enough volunteersso they do not have to con-tinue paying personnel. We

want to continue to havean ambulance service orour community so we areasking or volunteers. Thisis a commitment but very rewarding. The knowledge

you learn rom becoming an EMT is something youcan take with you and use

wherever help is needed.Knowing that our com-

munity has an ambulanceservice to help a amily member, neighbor or riend

when a emergency arises is

something to be proud o.

Akron Princeville Ambulance looking or volunteers

This can only continue withhaving more volunteers.

Drivers are also need-ed. They play a very impor-

tant part o our ambulance.This is rewarding knowing that you can be a part o helping when an emergen-cy arises.

APA responds to allmedical, emergency and we

do stand by atfres or the Ak-ron PrincevilleFire Depart-ment.

Require-ments or be-ing a driver:

• Mustbe 18 yearso age, have a

valid driver’s license with agood record.

• Must obtain or havea current CPR card and at-tend at least 1 meeting ev-ery quarter.

Requirements or be-

coming an EMT• Attend EMT class-

es (which takes about 6months rom start to fnish

when you obtain your li-cense.) APA does have a pol-icy or EMT reimbursementor the cost o the class.

• Continuing educa-tion is provided

• Attend monthly

meetings where educationollows.

Being a part o Akron

How far belowwhat you now paydo interest rates

have to go beforerenancing makessense?

That often depends onhow long you plan tostay in your home. Typi-cally the fewer numberof years, the wider thespread needs to be. Youmay want to contact amortgage professional

to help you weigh thecost of renancingagainst the projectedmonthly savings youmay realize. Lendersmay run a net tangiblebenet test to see if renancing makes sincefor you.

How much timeand money will itcost to renance?

Again, that will dependon your specic nancialprole. Applying for arenance loan involvesa process similar to get-ting a home purchasemortgage, and you

will be charged certainfees. There are pro-grams available that canreduce the amount of documentation required – which can speed upthe time it takes tocomplete your loan. Amortgage professionalcan provide you withthe items necessary torenance your mortgageand estimate the costassociated with re-nancing your mortgage

loan.

Should you choosean ARM or a xed-rate mortgage?

Most ARMs (AdjustableRate Mortgages) adjust annually, either upor down. So even at abelow-market start rate,it’s possible your ARMinterest rate could soon

exceed current inter-est rates. If you planto remain in your homefor a short period, anIntermediate ARM, witha low introductory ratethat remain xed forseveral years before therst adjustment, may be

suited to your needs. Amortgage professionalcan run various loanprogram scenarios tohelp you balance all thefactors and make aninformed decision.

I’m here to help youwork through this pro-cess and answer anyquestions you may have.

I encourage you to e-mail me at [email protected] or call me at 309-693-9494 ext 404 if you

have interest in othertopics pertaining to themortgage industry.
