Mosquitoes 101

IDPH offers mosquito prevention tips

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

They are those pesky little creatures that arrive every year. Sometimes they come early — oftentimes they stay late. But either way, mosquitoes are never welcomed guests at our outdoor activities. In the past several years, the common “house” mosquito has caused havoc with its ability to carry West Nile virus (WNV), if that mosquito is infected.

“Each year since 2002 when we saw the first human cases of West Nile virus in Illinois, we’ve seen the virus circulate across the state,” said IDPH Director Nirav D. Shah, M.D. J.D. WNV is transmitted through the bite of an infected Culex pipiens or “house” mosquito. Mild cases of the virus may cause a slight fever or headache, however, more severe infections can cause a rapid onset of a high fever with head and body aches, disori-

entation, tremors, convulsions, and in the most severe cases, paralysis or death. Symptoms of WNV begin from three to 14 days after a person is bitten, however, four out of five people infected with WNV will not show any symptoms. People older than 50 are at higher risk for severe illness from WNV, according to a release from the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). But move over WNV — there’s a new culprit in the mosquito world, and

this little guy is bringing with it a new infection called the Zika virus. “This year many people are concerned about a relatively news virus - Zika virus. While Zika virus is also primarily transmitted through the bite of a mosquito, the main type of mosquito that carries Zika virus is different and is rarely found in Illinois,” Shah said. The IDPH said the Zika virus is primarily transmitted through the bite of an Aedes aegypti mosquito. The most common

symptoms of Zika are fever, rash, joint pain and conjunctivitis (red eyes). The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week after one is bitten. People usually don’t get sick enough to go to the hospital, and they very rarely die of Zika virus, which basically means many people might not realize they have been infected. A Zika infection during pregnancy, however, can cause a serious birth defect called microcephaly, as well as other severe

fetal brain defects. More information about the Zika virus can be found on the IDPH website. Predicting how the mosquito season will be this year in Illinois is next to impossible, since the basic factors determining high or low mosquito activity is dependent on temperature and rainfall. While you probably notice these pesky creatures during rainy weather, the mosquitoes that come out at that time are

Delivering more than just the mail A mountain of non-perishable food products as well as paper and personal items were donated and ultimately delivered to the Bureau County Food Pantry in Princeton Saturday afternoon during the annual “Stamp Out Hunger” sponsored by the National Association of Letter Carriers. Other post offices around the county also participated in the effort, and those products were delivered to their respective food pantries. In Princeton, the food drive set a record collection of 20,115 pounds, compared to last year’s total of 15,665 pounds. Several helped with the collection, including area Boy Scouts.

A smart boater is a safe boater By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

Here in the Illinois Valley, the current tends to run in many residents’ blood. With many rivers, canals and bodies of water at our fingertips, it is a boater’s paradise for those who love the serenity and the excitement of launching a boat in one of the area’s many waterways. May 21 through May 28 is National Safe Boating Week — a time for boat-

ers to rethink their excursions as the use the public rivers, lakes, canals and creeks that call their names at this time of the year. Weather Rule No. 1 is to always check the forecast before you launch your boat. Especially on the water, a storm can quickly turn a fun and enjoyable day into a nightmare. The National Weather Service (NWS) urges boaters to not

PRINCETON — Are you a local artist who would like to showcase and sell your work? The third annual Art in the Park might be just the place to accomplish that. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 4, at Soldiers and Sailors Park on Princeton’s South Main Street, Art in the Park will again wow event-goers with a fantastic display of local and original artwork. The Princeton Chamber of Commerce’s event still has a few spaces available for artists wishing to set up a booth for this funfilled day. The charge for having a booth is $25. “We have quite a few vendors already, but we still have some spaces left,” said Gina Nelson, who helps coordinate the event. Nelson said the event was originally started by local and well-known artist Bart Kassabaum many years ago, adding it was a juried art show at the time, however, the current Art in the Park is a “lower key version of that.” Kassabaum, however, will have his art on display and for sale at the event this year again. The only requirement for vendors to participate in the one-day event is the items need to be handmade. To date, Nelson said event-goers can expect to see watercolors, graphic arts, photography, stained glass, jewelry, pottery, mixed media, blown glass and more. Also at the Art in the Park activity, Centrue Bank will host a lunch stand with a portion of the profits going to the art festival. Nelson said

she is in the process of securing some musical entertainment as well. Festival 56 will weigh in on the fun at the Art in the Park event with an activity dubbed, “Hot Shakespeare.” In honor of the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death this year, Festival 56 is sponsoring a free event, which asks those who dare to eat a jalapeno pepper and then read aloud a pre-selected Shakespearean passage as far as one can, and then find some relief with an ice cream treat to cool the pipes. All of this activity will be captured in good fun in photos and on video that will be posted to Instagram and YouTube. Hot Shakespeare will begin around lunch time. Sisler’s Dairy Products of Ohio has donated the ice cream. After Art in the Park, Festival 56 will continue Hot Shakespeare every Friday through July during Princeton’s Lunch in the Park, also held at Soldiers and Sailors Park. Nelson said Art in the Park coincides the same day as the Living Works Suicide Walk, but neither event will conflict with each other and could possible help boost attendance at both. She said there will be plenty of time for people to attend both events, if they wish. There is no admission fee to attend. For questions or to reserve a vendor space, contact Nelson at 815-879-3000 or the Princeton Chamber at 815875-2616. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

Economical lab services and diagnostic testing, including digital x-rays, are also offered on-site. These services are available to anyone, regardless of your doctor’s practice or hospital affiliation.

Boat safety From Page 1 rely on their cell phones for a forecast, rather check out the NWS website for updated and current weather conditions that could be hazardous or life threatening. Life jackets Before you and your family get out on the water this year, make sure you have a life jacket, and more importantly, make sure you wear it. According to the NWS, nearly 85 percent of those who drown while boating were not wearing a life jacket. Wearing a life jacket is one of the most effective and

simple life-saving strategies for safe recreational boating. Boaters are required to have a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket on board for every passenger on their vessel. Life jackets are available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors. Most made today are comfortable, lightweight and appropriate for any water activity. To learn more, visit the National Safe Boating Council online at www.safeboatingcouncil.org. Fire extinguishers U.S. Coast Guard approved, marine-type fire extinguishers are required on boats where a fire hazard could be expected from the engines or fuel system. When required, boats less than 26 feet must carry at least one

B-I, Coast Guard-approved fire extinguisher. Boats 26-40 feet must carry two B-I or one B-II Coast Guard-approved fire extinguisher(s). Boats 40-65 feet must carry three B-I or one B-II and one B-I Coast Guard-approved extinguishers. According to the NWS, fire extinguishers are classified by a letter and a number symbol. The letter indicates the type of fire the unit is designed to extinguish, and the number indicates the size of the extinguisher. A Type B extinguisher is intended to extinguish burning liquids such as gasoline, oil or grease, all of which are common on a boat. You shouldn’t have to travel more than half the length of the boat to get to the fire

extinguisher. Check the fire extinguishers at least once a year to know they are properly charged, stored and are undamaged. Everyone should start their boating season with this vital safety check. Communication devices If you have a text-ready cell phone, you can find the latest weather updates at cell. weather.gov, or on a smartphone, you can get weather news at mobile.weather.gov. NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards will sound an alert when NWS issues a weather advisory. A weather radio is an integral tool for a boater. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews. com.

BUI: Just as deadly as a DUI canoes and rowboats to the largest ships). Dangers of BUI Alcohol affects judgment, vision, balance and coordination. These impairments increase the likelihood of accidents afloat for both passengers and boat operators. U.S. Coast Guard data shows in boating deaths involving alcohol use, over half the victims capsized their boats and/or fell overboard. Alcohol is even more hazardous on the water than on land. The marine environment motion, vibration, engine noise, sun, wind and spray accelerates a drinker’s impairment. These stressors cause fatigue that makes a boat operator’s coordination, judgment and reaction time decline even faster when using alcohol. Alcohol can also be more dangerous to

boaters because boat operators are often less experienced and less confident on the water than on the highway. Enforcement and penalties The Coast Guard and every state have stringent penalties for violating BUI laws. Penalties can include large fines, suspension or revocation of boat operator privileges, and jail terms. The Coast Guard and the states cooperate fully in enforcement in order to remove impaired boat operators from the waters. In waters that are overseen solely by the states, the states have the authority to enforce their own BUI statutes. Tips for avoiding BUI • Plan to limit your trip to a reasonable time to avoid fatigue. Remember that it’s common to become tired more quickly on the water. • If you want to make alcohol part of

your day’s entertainment, plan to have a party ashore at the dock, in a picnic area, at a boating club, or in your backyard. Choose a location where you’ll have time between the fun and getting back into your car or boat. • If you dock somewhere for lunch or dinner and drink alcohol with your meal, wait a reasonable time (estimated at a minimum of an hour per drink) before operating your boat. • Having no alcohol while aboard is the safest way to enjoy the water. Intoxicated passengers are also at risk of injury and falls overboard. • Spread the word on the dangers of BUI. Many recreational boaters forget that a boat is a vehicle, and that safe operation is a legal and personal responsibility. Source: www.uscgboating.org.

There’s no question that drinking while being under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol is a deadly combination. The same holds true for those operating a boat, known as boating under the influence or BUI. Did you know? • A boat operator is likely to become impaired more quickly than a driver, drink for drink. • The penalties for BUI can include large fines, revocation of operator privileges and serious jail terms. • The use of alcohol is involved in about one-third of all recreational boating fatalities. • It is illegal to operate a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs in every state. The Coast Guard also enforces a federal law that prohibits BUI. This law pertains to all boats (from

From Page 1 more of a nuisance rather than ones that will make you sick. Those mosquitoes, commonly called floodwater or nuisance mosquitoes (Aedes vexans) do not generally carry diseases. Mosquitoes that carry WNV are prevalent in hot, dry weather and breed in stagnant water. They also multiply quickly. The mosquito that carries the Zika virus also breeds in stagnant water. There are two other types of mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus and Aedes triseriatus) found in Illinois that can also carry disease and breed in water-collecting containers, according to the IDPH. “Taking some simple precautions can help you avoid mosquito bites, regardless of the type of mosquito or the diseases they carry,” Shah said, adding people need to remember the three Rs — reduce, repel and report • Reduce: Make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens.

Skoog applauds accomplishments of NPLEx In the first quarter of 2016, the NPLEx system in Illinois helped block the sale of 26,795 boxes of PSE, keeping 62,478 grams of PSE from potentially being used illegally. This success builds off what was seen in 2015 where 110,528 boxes, equating to 253,539 grams, were blocked via NPLEx. Illinois is also part of seven states who have gone one step further in implementing a drug offender block list, which bans convicted meth offenders from purchasing PSE medicines. “NPLEx has given our state a mechanism for law enforcement and pharmacists to work together and stop the sale of illegal purchases of medicine containing pseudoephedrine, and it has shown, year after year, that it’s working,” said Skoog. “NPLEx stops criminals in their tracks before a PSE purchase is even made. Now our law enforcement can focus on the other aspects of the meth epidemic, including the influx of meth imported from abroad, which can end up here in the Illinois Valley.”

PERU — Illinois State Representative Andrew Skoog (D-76th) has released the first quarter 2016 data from the state’s real time, stop-sale pseudoephedrine (PSE) monitoring system, known as the National Precursor Log Exchange (NPLEx). NPLEx is a tool allowing retailers to block the illegal sale of cold and allergy medicine containing pseudoephedrine (PSE) at the point of sale and across state lines. And in Illinois, it also prevents sales to known meth offenders entirely. This law enforcement tool also provides police with information to detect suspicious purchase patterns and identify, prosecute and convict suspected meth-makers. Illinois and 31 other states have adopted NPLEx as a way to ensure law-abiding citizens have access to these vital medicines, while automatically blocking the purchase of PSE when consumers reach their allowed limits or unlawful (PSE) purchase attempts at the point of sale.

Honoring your hero

Public encouraged to submit photos for recognition on Memorial Day Remembrance Wall SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs, State Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Peru), and the Illinois Senate Republican caucus are teaming up to honor and remember the sacrifice of the brave servicemen and servicewomen who have passed away. The public is encouraged to submit a photograph and written remembrance of veterans who are no longer with us, which will be displayed on the Illinois State Capitol Memorial Day Remembrance Wall. The submissions will be displayed in the State Capitol Rotunda at the beginning of the Memorial Day holiday weekend, Thursday, May 26, through Monday, July 4. “We can never do enough to honor those who fought so bravely for the freedoms we enjoy today,” Rezin said. “The Memorial Day Remembrance Wall allows Illinoisans and visitors to the capitol to see the names and pictures of so many brave men and women, and remember their sacrifice and dedication to democracy, values and freedom. It’s a tribute to them and a way for their family to honor them.” “We all know, freedom has a price. The veterans we honor at this memorial paid the ultimate price, so that we may enjoy the freedoms we have today,” said Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs Director Erica Jeffries. “If we have learned anything from the conflicts of our past and present, it’s that courage and sacrifice are a significant part of every generation. It is our responsibility to ensure that our veterans’

sacrifices are never forgotten.” In response to requests from friends and family members who wish to honor their loved ones on the Memorial Day Remembrance Wall, any deceased veteran can be honored. However, the display will pay special tribute to those who were killed in combat, as is fitting during the Memorial Day holiday. Jeffries and Rezin are encouraging the public to email a photo and written remembrance (Max: 250 words), along with the following information: Name, military branch (Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, National Guard, Navy) and conflict served (Afghanistan and Iraq, Sept. 11, Gulf War, Vietnam, Korea, World War II, World War I, Peacetime, Other) to MemorialDay@ senategop.state.il.us. Military photos are preferred but not necessary. The deadline for submission is Monday, May 23. Submissions by mail are also acceptable. Send the information and photo to: Memorial Day Remembrance Wall, 309G State House, Springfield, IL 62706. Questions can be directed to 217-7821650.

NORTHBROOK/VERO BEACH, Fla. — Kenneth Robert Gorgal, 87, of Northbrook and Vero Beach, Fla., passed away Sunday, May 8, 2016, surrounded by his family. Ken, born on Feb. 13, 1929, was the only child of Alexander and Florence Gorgal of Peru. He grew up in Peru and attended the town’s St. Bede Academy, a private Catholic high school, graduating in 1946. His father had played professional football in the 1920s for the Rock Island Independents, an early NFL team. Ken played quarterback on the St. Bede’s football team. In 2001, he was inducted into St. Bede’s inaugural Hall of Fame. Ken went on to play college Kenneth football and baseball at Purdue University from Gorgal 1946 to 1950 where he played as a quarterback and punt returner. Ken set a school record that stood for more than 50 years in 1948. During the summer of 1950, Ken played baseball for the Gainesville Owls and the Dallas Eagles before playing football for the Cleveland Browns. He played on the 1950 and the 1954 Cleveland Browns’ NFL Championship teams. Cleveland head coach, Paul Brown, considered Ken one of his nicest players — he was known as “Gurgles Gorgal,” the coach once said, because he “added so much fellowship and good feeling to our team.” In 1954, Sportswriters named him a first-team All-Pro. He left the Cleveland Browns for a two-year stint in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He was stationed back home in Peru and ran background checks for the Army’s Counterintelligence Corps. Then he returned to the Cleveland Browns. He was traded to the Chicago Bears in 1955 and went to the Green Bay Packers in 1956. Following that season, he retired from football. Ken’s off the field career included owning a membership at the Chicago Board of Trade as well as managing his insurance business. Ken is the beloved husband of Sheila Kemper Gorgal for 34 years; loving father to Diane (Richard) Eaton, Denise (late Albert Jr.) Giannotti, Mark (late Faye) Gorgal, Renee (Jack) Beam, and stepfather to John (Ann) Weimer, Jeff (Carol) Weimer, Matthew Weimer and Melissa (Mike) Grady; cherished grandfather of Jessica and Nick Eaton, Alyse and Cole Giannotti, Megan, Jack, Brad and Tom Weimer. Ken was a kind-hearted person with a quick wit and had a passion for life. He didn’t know a stranger, making friends and talking to everyone he met. Family and friends will gather to celebrate Ken’s life on Thursday, May 19, starting at 10 a.m. followed by a Mass at 11 a.m. at St. Norbert Church, 1809 Walters Ave., Northbrook. In lieu of flowers, a contribution to St. Bede Academy, Memorial Fund for Ken Gorgal, 24 W US Hwy 6, Peru, IL 61354 in Ken’s honor is much appreciated.

On the street

What is the most important thing you learned throughout your educational career?

“The most important thing I learned is that you get out what you put in.” Hanna Bima, Princeton

From the editor’s desk It’s the middle of May already. While it’s a busy time for everyone right now, the middle of May in the newspaper business signifies a host of activity. Beginning with Terri graduations and Simon Memorial Day, we jump right into all COMMENTARY the summer festivals throughout Bureau County. The craziness doesn’t end until after Homestead Festival in September; and then a whole new type of crazy begins with the start of school, football and other sports and a myriad of fall activities. When I first started in this business 20-plus years ago, I always knew next month would be easier. Ha. It was just wishful thinking because each month of the year brings with it its own set of activities, stories, etc. That’s OK because that’s what keeps our fingers on our keyboards and on those camera shutters. It’s what we do. As I reread those paragraphs about all the upcoming activities, please know we do our best to attend as many functions as possible to capture those events for our readers. That being said though, we are unable to go to every single event in the county. That’s where you come in ... Please feel free to submit press releases and in-focus photos for us to publish in the Bureau County Republican of your activities/events. Those items can be emailed to news@bcrnews.com. Please make sure you identify everyone in the photos (if possible) and include a telephone number in case we have questions. When it comes to sports, we have to rely on our area coaches/parents to send us information on games, scores and other happenings, especially those items like Little League, summer softball and the like. Those items can be sent to sports@bcrnews.com. While we’d give a lot to be able to come to every event in the county, it’s just not possible. Give us a call, and if we can’t attend, we’ll be happy to publish the items you submit. ••• Memorial Day is just a few weeks away. The BCR wants to publish a list of all the Memorial Day services/ceremonies in the area. If your municipality is hosting an event (I think every town in the county does), please submit your information to news@bcrnews.com. Also, we’re noticing there are several teachers retiring this year around Bureau County. We admire educators so much, and we’re hoping area school districts will take the time to snap a photo or two of those retiring educators and submit them to us at the aforementioned email address. Please make sure you list all of those in each photo. ••• Speaking of educators ... as the school year draws to a close, don’t forget to acknowledge those teachers/counselors/administrators/coaches/secretaries who have made a difference in your student’s life. It doesn’t have to involve buying an expensive gift ... even a thank you note written by your child and one written by you would be much appreciated. Bureau County is so lucky to have a host of fabulous teachers, and they deserve our applause. ••• A big thank you to everyone who donated to last weekend’s “Stamp Out Hunger” annual food drive, hosted by your local letter carriers. All donations are kept locally and used to feed your area’s hungry people. The food pantries thank you, as do the folks who need to use that service. ••• Need a graduation gift? Money is standard, but a personally-selected gift is great and lasts a whole lot longer than cash. Please try to shop locally for your special graduate. ••• Even though it was rather brisk this past weekend, it’s garden- and flower-planting time in Bureau County. There’s nothing better than a home-grown tomato or a freshly-picked bouquet of flowers on the kitchen table. If you plan ahead now, you’ll be thanking yourself all summer and fall for your hard work in the spring. No place to plant? If you’d like to experience the dirt on your hands, the sore joints and the other benefits of planting, I have plenty of opportunities in my yard for those who want to partake. Ha! ••• Take some time for you this week. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

“The most important thing I learned is to try not to stress out.” Andrew Lopez, LaMoille

“The most important thing I learned is how to work with other people to get the job done.” Gabbie Morrow, Ladd “The most important thing I learned is that not everything has to be perfect.” Andrew Pyszka, Dalzell

“The most important thing I learned is to always be kind and to stay humble, plus to never envy those with more and to lift those with less.” Madison Donahue, Spring Valley

“The most important thing I learned is to give everyone an equal chance and to take every opportunity you can.” Victor Hernandez, DePue

TO Letter THE Editor

The importance of organ donation Editor’s note: The first letter below was submitted and published in the Bureau County Republican in 1994, and at the request of the family, they asked it be published again. The second letter was submitted this past week. To the Editor, My wife and I have been following with great interest the stories about Baby Noah, Tina Albright and organ donating. We found ourselves on the other side of the coin when our son, Robert, was killed in an automobile accident Dec. 17, 1993. When we got to St. Francis Hospital in Peoria, we were told that he had been killed instantly. After the initial shock wore off and we were able to see him in the emergency room, we were brought back to the visitors lounge where the deputy coroner and some other people met us. Before anyone else could speak, my wife and I brought up the idea about donating his organs. Knowing our son and the way he felt about people, we knew that Robert would want us to do the right thing. It made our sorrow a little easier to bear, knowing that Robert would be able to help someone even after his untimely death. My wife and I said it was OK to donate the organs, but Tina, Robert’s wife, had to give the final OK for the procedure to begin. Once she did that it was a simple matter from beginning to end. The hospital took care of everything, and we were never involved again. Viewing Robert at the visitation, you could never tell that anything had ever been done to him. So my wife and I encourage people to become organ donors or have the courage to make that decision about a loved one when the time comes. Sandra and Robert Jeffery Wyanet To the Editor, The above letter was written when our son, Robert, was killed Dec. 17, 1993. It is with heavy hearts that my wife and I once again are writing to the people of Bureau County about our daughter, Heidi, who died unexpectedly April 29, 2016. Knowing our daughter like we do, we did not hesitate to see if she could be an organ donor. Janice Wamhoff, the (Bureau County) coroner, and Perry Memorial Hospital were more than helpful in getting the process started. We were put in touch with an organization called “Gift of Hope.” From the moment I talked to them and we gave permission to proceed, it was just like Robert’s donation. They took care of everything, and we were never involved again. So as parents who have lost two children, my wife and I encourage people to become organ donors and let their loved ones know how they feel about it. Sandra and Robert Jeffery Wyanet

Suicide walk — The annual Living Works Suicide Walk will be June 4. See Page 7 and watch for more details in an upcoming edition.

Community Notes Library will host workshop

Eric Taylor will perform at Princeton Coffeehouse PRINCETON — Texas singer/songwriter and guitar master Eric Taylor will perform at the Princeton Coffeehouse at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 21. The coffeehouse is located at Open Prairie United Church of Christ, 25 E. Marion St. in Princeton. Doors open at 7 p.m. If you’re not familiar with Taylor by name, you’ve probably heard his songs performed by people such as Lyle Lovett and Nanci Griffith. Lovett, who recorded Taylor’s “Memphis Midnight/Memphis Morning,” “Whooping Crane,” “Understand You,” and with whom Taylor co-wrote the immensely popular “Fat Babies,” compares Taylor’s narrative voice to that of Bruce Springsteen. Taylor grew up in Atlanta and started playing soul music in his early years, steeping himself in the rich cultural heritage of the black South. “I’ve written poetry all my life,” Taylor says. “When I learned how to play guitar, it was a natural progression to write songs.” Learning intricate blues guitar stylings from music legends Lightnin’ Hopkins, Mance Lipscomb and Mississippi Fred McDowell,

Taylor developed his own unique guitar picking style. It was imitated by many of his contemporaries from his early days in Houston, including Townes Van Zandt and Steve Earle. “Shameless Love,” Taylor’s first album, came out in 1981, and, after a hiatus of almost 14 years, he returned with the self-titled “Eric Taylor,” released in 1995. It was chosen as the 1996 Kerrville Folk Festival Album of the Year. Three years later he released “Resurrect.” It was subsequently named one of the “100 essential records of all time” by Buddy magazine. Taylor has headlined the Newport Folk Festival, played National Public Radio’s “Mountain Stage” and has appeared on “Late Night with David Letterman” (with Nanci Griffith) and “Austin City Limits”(with Lyle Lovett, Guy Clark, and Robert Earl Keen). “The Kerrville Tapes” (2003), his first live album, was recorded during three years of appearances at the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival. In January 2008, Eric Taylor and his album, “Hollywood Pocketknife,” were nominated for FolkWax’s

Walnut Rotary cookout will offset police training expenses

WALNUT — Mark Harkness, president of the Rotary Club of Walnut, announced a portion of the proceeds from the club’s Saturday, May 21, cookout will be donated to the village of Walnut to offset the costs of training Walnut police in the skills necessary to interact with those in a mental health crisis. Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training is sponsored by the Sauk Area Chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), which serves Carroll, Lee, Ogle and Whiteside counties and the surrounding areas. NAMI is dedicated to building better lives for those affected by mental illness. CIT training educates officers about mental illness and teaches communication strategies with those in crisis. The lack of readily available treatment options for those with mental illness has increased the number of encounters police have with mentally ill persons. Key to properly handling and diffusing potential dangerous situations is adequate training ... CIT training. “The Rotary Club of Walnut is proud of its motto: ‘Service Above Self.’ Few people better exemplify that philosophy than local police. Our village police

deal with all sorts of situations. Some of those situations involve a person – whether victim or perpetrator – which require a special skill set,” said Harkness. “The Walnut Rotary is committed to serving the citizens of our community. The May 21 cookout is a great way to thank our local police and to support them by helping to provide resources to get the tools they need to do their job.” Walnut Rotarians will be serving pork chop sandwiches, brats and hot dogs at the Veterans’ Memorial from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. “Our local police are the first line of defense in times of trouble. There are families in our community who know all too well the importance of equipping our police with the tools they need to handle every situation, including those involving the mentally ill,” urged Harkness. “We hope Walnut comes out to help those families and support the Walnut Police Department.“ The Rotary Club of Walnut meets six times a month at the Walnut Café. For further information on how to become a member of Rotary, contact President Mark Harkness at 815-379-3062 or at Mark.harkness@gmail.com.

Volunteer Help make a difference.

Many people imagine themselves becoming hospice volunteers, making a difference for people at the end of their life journey. Too many never make the phone call that could change their lives because they’re not sure what will be expected of them, and they are not sure if they have what it takes. Make the call today. Volunteers are asked to attend orientation and training sessions.

Princeton loses in OT to Byron By Jeff Schlesinger sports@bcrnews.com

BYRON — The Princeton Tigresses had everything going against them in the first half, but everything on their side in the second, before falling in overtime Saturday, May 14, to the Byron Tigresses and bowing out of the IHSA soccer regional final championship game by a score of 4-2. A cold and blustery day, it was the wind that played a big part in the momentum shifts. Byron had the favorable wind in the first half and was able to convert a couple corner kicks. Freshman Brytnee Laxner tapped one in from junior Sarah Hopkins in the 27th minute and then freshman Heide Raine converted one in the 22nd minute also from Hopkins.

PHS wins Mendota Invite

Boys tennis

The Princeton High School boys tennis squad won the Mendota Invite Saturday, beating seven other teams. P.D. Mckeown won No. 2 singles. Jake Farraher and Luke Schultz were second in No. 2 doubles. Colby Robbins was fourth in No. 1 singles. Alex Schlesinger and Ryan Frank were fifth in No. 1 doubles.

Softball

Hall Lady Devils split two games on Saturday. Hall 10, Alden-Hebron: Adrianna Pikula was the winning pitcher for Hall against A-H, striking out 11 batters and allowing three hits and no walks. Leading batters were Luciana Mautino, who went 3-4 with one RBI and one run scored; Heidi Nielsen, who went

1-2 with two RBIs and two runs scored; and Pikula, who went 2-3 with a double. Hunter Galassi had the game winning double in the bottom of the fifth to win by the 10-run rule. Marquette 5, Hall 4: Pikula was the losing pitcher against Marquette, giving up two homers in the fourth inning that were both preceded by walks. “Great comeback attempt in the sixth and seven, but it’s hard to spot a good team five runs and come all the way back,” said Hall coach Brian Holman. “We stranded 10 runners. Great tournament to get us ready for regional week.”

Baseball

The Hall Devils tuned up for regionals this week by winning two games Saturday against Alden-Hebron

11-0 and Ottawa Marquette 2-0. Hall 11, Alden-Hebron 0: Drew Pullam was the winning pitcher against Alden-Hebron, going five innings, allowing three hits and striking out two. Cam McDonald was 2-3 with two RBIs. Adam Sangston and Ty Rybarczyk were both 2-2 at the plate. Hall scored three times in the first, five times in the third and three more runs in the fourth. Hall 2, Marquette 0: Jim DeAngelo picked up the shutout win for Hall against Marquette, going four innings and allowing four hits and two walks. Jake Merkel pitched two innings and Rybarczyk pitched one inning. McDonald and Sangston drove in the two Hall runs, one in the first and one more in the fifth.

Right, Luke Peacock, an eighth-grade student at St. Louis School in Princeton, earned the chance to go to the IESA state finals for track in East Peoria on Saturday. He ran the 800 meter run and placed 29th out of 59 athletes.

it was difficult to tell if the ball went off Raine’s hip or was pushed in with her hand. The ref’s opinion was the only one that mattered however, and the goal stood leaving Princeton at a 2-0 halftime deficit. “I am not concerned at all with the score being 2-0,” Princeton head coach Ed Young said to his players at the break. “I know in the second half with the wind at our back we can get those goals back.” And he was right. Princeton seized the momentum quickly in the second half thanks to the leg of junior Jenna Grimmer and then the rush of senior Eliza Young. In the 42nd minute (the second minute of the second half), Grimmer wound up and sent a booming shot from 35 yards out on the

Princeton From Page 9 right side, and playing the wind perfectly, sent it into the upper left corner of the net. “I noticed that we were going with the wind,” Grimmer said. “So when I was crossing it, I could kick it a lot farther. So I just went for it. I have hit a couple goals that long this season so I knew I could do it.” Then, just eight minutes later, Byron gave a goal back to Princeton, when they had control of the ball and an errant kick found its way past goalie Britany McCarty.

Bureau County Republican • bcrnews.com

But it appeared that a combination of the wind and a hard rushing Eliza Young distracted McCarty enough to allow the goal to sneak by her. When the regulation time came to an end, it was obvious to everyone in attendance that the overtime coin flip was key. And indeed it was. Byron won the flip and chose to attack to the east, giving them the wind advantage. And in the 85th minute of the contest, sophomore Shayden Harvey converted on yet another corner kick on what proved to be the game winning goal. Byron added another one, in the 91st minute, the only goal

I’m really proud of everyone, it’s not like we were slacking off or anything. We really were fighting and playing aggressively.” A very young team, the Tigresses will return many of the starters and look to improve next year. Two of the biggest holes to fill will come on defense. “Replacing Michaela Strom is going to be a challenge,” Young commented. “She is directing there from the backfield. And replacing

Mary Simms will also be a challenge.” Kenley Grimmer, Jenna’s younger sister, who came up to play defense in the middle of the season said that she wasn’t thrilled at playing defense. She had always played offense growing up. But thanks to Strom’s leadership, she says now she only wants to play defense. “I wouldn’t have wanted to play this game with any other team,” Strom said after the end of the game. “This is definitely the best team I’ve ever been on.” She gave kudos to her defensive squad on a hard fought game. “The defen-

sive backs, especially Madeline (Robbins), Kenley and Abby Scaggs, definitely, we all stayed tough and we held our ground.” Princeton ends the season at 12-6-1, having lost its opening game to Byron 2-1 and its final game to the same squad 4-2. This game also marks the last time that Young will get to coach his daughters, as his youngest daughter Eliza also graduates this spring. “I’m looking forward to coaching my granddaughter now,” he said with a big smile on his face. “But that will be 10 years away.” Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

re you looking to earn some money this summer? You can become an entrepreneur! That’s a person who starts a business. Standards Link: Number Sense: Addition and subtraction to 40.

Fill in the missing vowels to discover some ideas for types of businesses YOU can start this summer!

An entrepreneur (on-trah-preh-nyur) is a person who sees a way to earn some money by solving a particular problem. For example, lots of kids have learned that thirsty people on hot days will pay for a cold glass of lemonade. Can you see the job opportunity in each of these pictures? Look at each picture. What problems do you see here? What kind of help might they be willing to pay for?

One way to make money is to get a job. But that is not possible for everyone. Often times kids can’t get jobs because they are too young. But that hasn’t stopped kids around the world from finding clever ways of earning some cash. Some kids, like Jason, turn doing something they love into a way of earning money. Look at each of the following pictures. Write down ways a business you could start might be able to help.
