TISKILWA -- Tiskilwa Village Board members will invite owners of two bars in town to December's meeting to get their input on an ordinance that would require them and their bartenders to take an educational program about liability issues associated with serving alcohol.

Trustee Steve McKinney said he wasn't sure why there is a need to earn a certificate when many issues deal with common sense.

Mayor Randy Philhower said the Illinois Liquor Control Commission is "strongly encouraging" bar owners and bartenders to be educated. "I think it is a worthwhile thing to get behind," said Philhower.
