Hennepin looks at I-180 reduction By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

HENNEPIN — The talk of reducing Interstate 180 from a four-lane expressway to a twolane highway has caused concern for many area villages. On Wednesday, Aug. 19, Hennepin Village Board President Kevin Coleman said he has talked with many people about the

interstate, including Congressman Adam Kinzinger and State Rep. Frank Mautino. He said the local politicians were aware of the situation and working on the issue. Coleman said reducing the interstate wouldn’t just impact Putnam County but other surroundings counties, including Peoria, which uses the interstate as a quick route to Chicago. “You’re talking a couple hun-

dred thousand people, if not more,” he said. “And it will affect the Peoria area as well.” Hennepin village engineer Bill Shafer said he had spoken with an Illinois Department of Transportation representative who told him the interstate reduction was in the preliminary stages. He said there’s a lot of maintenance work that needs to be done on the interstate, particularly on the river bridge, and the

government is short on funds and looking at all options. “If they are going to do something as drastic as that, he said there would be public hearings,” Shafer said of the IDOT representative. “The probability of it actually happening are pretty slim. There would be quite a bit of an initial cost to make that conversion.” Shafer said he didn’t think it was something to get too excited

about. Village trustee Quentin Buffington said he also spoke with someone from the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the representative told him the decision wouldn’t happen quickly. “It’s basically just a feeler, and he said any plans would be 10 years out. He said there are projects scheduled for the next

Tentative budget discussed at Hall By Becky Kramer news@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — This year’s enrollment at Hall High School was addressed at the Hall School Board meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 19. At this point, the high school has 390 total students registered. The largest class will be freshman with 125 students currently registered. Superintendent Mike Struna believes there will be more new students after registration in a few weeks. Struna presented the tentative budget for the upcoming school year. With state revenues remaining flat and local property tax declining, Struna is preparing for the worst case scenario which results in a budget that shows a deficit of $349,074. The major fund to take a hit is the education fund, which is projected to be in the red by $430,138. Struna said there are expenses that just can’t be lowered, such as certified salaries which will increase by 2.5 percent per the teacher contract. The board continues to look for ways to reduce the budget. This year the board elected to not replace one full-time English teacher, two teacher aides and one cafeteria server. Less money will also be spent on out-of-school tuition costs. The district will only have three students attending other schools this year, which is down from 10 students last year. The new building will also save the district money with reduced energy costs and reduced repair and maintenance costs. Struna is also hopeful to see an increase in general state aid. Gov. Bruce Rauner has been proposing an increase in aid.

From the Ground Up ...

Bureau and Putnam County’s farmers’ market loyalty program By Dave Cook dcook@bcrnews.com

When making a purchase it’s become almost expected to be asked if you belong to or would

like to join a frequent shopper/ loyalty program or if you have a rewards or frequent shopper card. One place you don’t expect it to happen, though, is at a farmers’ market. The Bureau and Putnam

County Health Department has changed that with its new program From the Ground Up. It’s funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Farmers’ Market Promotion Program (FMPP). It’s meant to encourage people to support local farmers’ markets, growers and food and to also eat healthy. Participating farmers’ mar-

kets are in Granville, Sheffield, Spring Valley and Walnut. So far the program has been well received. “A lot of people have been coming in with their punch cards. They’re really excited about it because they’re getting T-shirts, bags, cutting boards and getting their names entered

Hall From Page 1 Currently 89 percent of what is owed to schools is received, but Rauner is hoping to increase that amount to 92 percent. “It’s sad that we get excited over possibly receiving 3 percent more of the money that we are supposed to receive anyway,” Struna said. He also said he’s not counting on that money until it has been passed by the state legislature. Hopefully by the time he finalizes the budget in September, the state will have made a final decision on state aid, he said. The light at the end of the tunnel is that if the district can weather this year that things look better for the next year. Struna is anticipating three retirements and an increase in local taxes. Both will help things look brighter for the future. There will be an open house from 1 to 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 7. The public is invited to take a guided tour of the new school. Then on Saturday, Oct. 17, there will be a ribbon cutting and dedication at 10 a.m. A new teacher evaluation plan has been put in place. Several teachers and administrators worked together to create the new tool which is required by state law. The new tool emphasizes professional practice and student growth. Professional practice will

Bureau County Republican • bcrnews.com

be 70 percent of the total evaluation. This includes the teacher being observed formally and informally in planning and preparation, the classroom environment, instruction and professional responsibilities. Student growth is 30 percent of the evaluation. “This is a scary thing for teachers,” Struna said. But teachers will have some say in which classes they will be evaluated on and which measures will be used. The main obstacle is to figure out what is a fair way to measure student growth. After formal and informal evaluations, teachers will be given summative ranks of excellent, proficient, needs improvement or unsatisfactory. The budget will be available for the public to view. A budget hearing was scheduled for 5:45 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16, in the library. The board approved the pizza contracts for the school year. Angelo’s and Alfano’s will provide pizza for approximately five months each. After closed session, the board approved a request by Megan Uphoff for maternity leave. The board approved a 1.5 percent salary increase for assistant principal Eric Bryant for the 2015-2016 school year. The next meeting will be at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16, following the budget hearing. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

Gateway Services to kick off 30th annual Phone-a-Thon By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The 30th annual Gateway Services Inc. Phone-A-Thon will be underway next week. Volunteers will be dialing phone numbers from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 24, and Tuesday, Aug. 25. The phone-a-thon event is Gateway’s largest fundraising event. Similar to a telethon, the event features volunteer callers who work to contact past supporters of Gateway. More than 20 people dedicate their time to ensure the phone-athon’s success. Last year’s event raised over $39,000, which marked Gateway’s most successful fundraiser of the year. “The funds raised go into our general fund, unless a donor wants it to go toward a specific program,” said Rachel Dean, communications manager of Gateway Services. “The funds help us provide not only services which make sure our individual’s basic needs are met, but also increase the quality of life for our indi-

viduals.” This year, Gateway Services has set a goal to raise $45,000. Gateway Services is a non-profit organization. It takes a little over $12,000 per day to operate all of its programs. “We rely on funding from the state, grants and from community supporters and donors to maintain services for individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities,” Dean said. “Without support, we would not be able to provide services like assisted living, intermittent support, community employment, transportation, counseling and financial services. Without Gateway Services, there would be individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities in the streets without anyone advocating for them.” This year’s fundraiser will be even more crucial, as funding from the state to Gateway has been impacted due to the state budget impasse. “It has slowed down our funding stream from the state,” Dean said. “Luckily,

we do have other ways to keep ourselves running for now. It is absolutely imperative for us to get as much support as we can from our community and donors to maintain our services.” Bruce Jewelers has donated a Ladies Citizen brand, Eco-drive, stainless steel, 26 diamond quartz wrist watch with a Mother of Pearl dial and matching buckle bracelet valued at $399. New donors who give at least $25 or existing supporters who give $25 or more from their gift last year will go into a raffle. The winner will be picked after the phone-a-thon. New donors may also call Gateway Services before the phone-a-thon to be eligible for the raffle. For more information, to donate or sponsor the phone-a-thon, contact Gateway Services at 815875-4548. Donations are also accepted on www. gateway-services.org. Make sure to label donations in the description box as Phone-A-Thon. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

Governor signs Rezin legislation requiring frack sand mining study SPRINGFIELD — The effect of frack sand mining operations coming online in and around LaSalle County will now be studied by the state, under a new law sponsored by State Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Peru). “This region is unlike any other in the country, with rare deposits of very high quality northern white sand,” Rezin said. “Because this industry requires heavy trucks and equipment, we must make sure our roads and bridges can handle all the tools needed for mining. At the same time, it is equally important to make sure the mining doesn’t impact our tourist attractions or citizens who live near these sites. We must protect the people in this area.” Signed into law on Aug. 18 by Gov. Bruce Rauner, Senate Bill 1803 directs the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to conduct a study on the effects of agricultural, manufacturing, mining and other industrial operations in LaSalle, DeKalb, Kendall, Grundy, Livingston, Woodford, Marshall, Putnam, Bureau and Lee counties. IDOT would then

submit a report to lawmakers by Jan. 1, 2017, that includes: • The impact of road usage and traffic pattern disruptions by sand mine trucking companies. • The potential road improvement plans to alleviate the additional highway traffic caused by sand mine operations. • The potential for adding new railway traffic caused by sand mine operations. • The estimates of current and future tourism trends for the state parks and tourism areas in LaSalle County and the effects of sand mine operations on visitors to those parks and tourism areas. • Recommendations to the General Assembly as to whether further legislation

or rule making is needed to regulate sand mining in Illinois. IDOT may consult with any agency it deems necessary to carry out the study. “IDOT’s report will be a great resource for us as we continue to try to maximize our resources in our area, while minimizing the impact on our citizens,” Rezin said. “Taking a proactive approach now will help us make sure the needs of everyone are met.” Hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as “fracking,” is the process of using sand, water and sometimes gas mixtures to break into the underground rock formations hitting new oil and natural gas fields.

St. Bede adds patio, lights to Gateway Arch PERU — Phase 2 of the St. Bede Gateway Arch, a gift to St. Bede last year from the members from the Class of 1964, has been completed. The addition to the Gateway Arch now includes a brick circular patio with flushed recessed lighting surrounding the arch, so it may be seen at night as well as day. After the dedication at homecoming last year, discussion began with the classmates of 1964 about adding lights to the arch. One of the classmates, Paul Robich, an architect from California, stated, “We really need to add lights to the arch to make the project complete.” It didn’t take long for the Class of ’64 to make the decision to begin Phase 2 and add to their class gift by funding the cost of the lighting project for the arch. Almost a year to the day

of the groundbreaking for the arch last June, the bricks arrived on campus, and the arch was lit for the first time this week. Eager to see the completed project, many members of the Class of ’64, who celebrated their 50th reunion last year, plan to return to St. Bede at homecoming the weekend of Oct. 2-4 to see the “Arch in lights.” The arch was a welcom-

then begin testing,” said Nauman. Superintendent Jim Hermes reported the school’s iPads are ready to go. “Students and teachers will have access to enter their own apps through this new program. They will be apps chosen by the teachers. It’s an effort to save storage space on the iPads,” said Hermes. This year will include a long awaited improvement to the bus routing system. The school will now be able to easily know what student belongs on which bus and where everyone’s stop is. Buses and stops will be easily identified by labels such as whale, squirrel, goat, etc.. Younger students will be given an ID tag that contains their name, class, teacher, bus name and stop name. In the event a child misses their stop or is on the wrong bus, a driver will only have to look at the tag to know where they need to go. After eighth-grade student Travis Strugala died in 2011, a memorial bench was placed in town in his honor. The bench had since deteriorated into poor condition.

Shafer said a possible gas line may be in the area where the project will take place, and he was investigating it further to ensure plans did not interfere with the gas line. Ameren is being called in to locate the gas line. Shafer also reported Judd Construction of Hennepin had given estimates to lay asphalt on two alleys in the village. The board approved the cost of $7,545 to asphalt both alleys. One alley is located near Cyr Financial, and the other alley is located near Mulberry Street.

Daniel Hunter

and photos of his family’s farming operation from the 1920’s through the 1970’s. Among them are purchase orders dating from the 1920’s through the 1940’s of feeder cattle his father bought at Kansas City and shipped back via rail. Also there are many photos from the 1920’s through the 1970’s of his family’s different farmsteads showing all the livestock and the many buildings that were constructed on these properties, as well as receipts dating from 1919 through the 1970’s of livestock sold through the Chicago Union Stockyards, as well as all kinds of farm machinery during this time period. He was an active participant and saw agriculture evolve over an 85 year time span, and how the transition was from an animal-husbandry enterprise to one of all grain farming. He was a proud Republican but said, “I voted for Kennedy in 1960”. He spoke in reverence to how life was during the Great Depression of the 1930’s, the War years of the 1940’s, and the economic upturn after World War II. As a child he and his brothers would gather around the radio and listen to the exploits of legendary baseball player Babe Ruth. Daniel was a wonderful husband to his wife, a loving father and grandfather. Many years were spent in mid-August with his wife and children on their summer vacation at Lake Geneva, Wis., where he enjoyed the beach and boating. He also enjoyed swimming in the family swimming pool on his farm as well as many family picnics and festive family gatherings during the holidays. He liked to downhill ski and enjoyed riding the horses, 4-wheelers, snowmobiles, and golf cart around his farm over many years. San Antonio, Texas, and Savannah, Ga., were favorite places he visited often. Visitation will be Sunday, Aug. 23, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Hurst Funeral Home in Ladd and Monday, Aug. 24, from 9 a.m. until the 10 a.m. service, at St. Patrick Parish in Arlington. The funeral procession will pass home to his farm and then to his final resting place at Calvary Cemetery in Arlington. Pallbearers will be Ryan and Kevin Gutierrez, Justin and Adam Hunter, Elizabeth Hunter and George C. Dwyer.

LAMOILLE — Daniel Jackson Hunter, 93, of rural LaMoille died peacefully of natural causes at his home, surrounded by his family and his caregiver, Lina, on Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2015. Mr. Hunter was born May 4, 1922, to David and Agnes (Buckman) Hunter of rural Arlington on the family home farm. He married Teresa Agnes Schwamberger on Daniel Hunter Oct. 3, 1949, at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Arlington. He is survived by his loving wife of 66 years and four sons, Daniel A. Hunter of Arlington, Robert Hunter of LaMoille, Kevin Hunter of Savannah, Ga., and David Hunter of West Brooklyn, Ill. Also surviving is a brother, James Hunter of Arlington; and five grandchildren, Ryan and Kevin Gutierrez of San Antonio, Texas, Justin and Adam Hunter, students at the University of Illinois, and Elizabeth Hunter of Savannah, Ga. He is preceded in death by his parents; his daughter, Teresa Agnes Hunter Gutierrez of Laredo, Texas; and four brothers, John in 1939, Joseph in 1951, Paul of Brisbane, Australia, in 2000, and Marion in 2003. Upon graduating from high school in 1940, Daniel began a long and distinguished career in agriculture with his father and brothers consisting primarily of animal-husbandry and grain. He was a fine steward of the land and was a noted cattle and swine feeder. He took great pride in being a farmer and was methodical in all aspects of operating a farm. He expected and demanded the best and enjoyed working the fields and planting and harvesting the crops. However, his true passion was cattle feeding where his father, he and brothers fed cattle for a combined 50 years.

Let’s make memories at the fair Wednesday the ribbon will be cut on the 160th annual Bureau County Fair, continuing the tradition started in 1855. What a history this event has had. In 1855, a group of gentlemen from Princeton decided it would be better to have a local fair instead of crossing the Illinois River to go to Hennepin to the fair held in Putnam County. It wasn’t until COMMENTARY the fourth fair in 1859 that the grounds on the west side of Princeton were purchased. Prior to that, the fair was held on the land north of the current high school. Since before the Civil War ladies have been showing their best baked breads, prettiest flowers and tastiest pickles for a chance at the blue ribbon. Some of the classes they entered in the 1859 fair included the Best Loaf of Wheat Bread; Best Butter (not less than 5 pounds); Best Pair Woolen Stockings; and Best Shell Work. Some of the more unique classes were the Best Daguerreotypes; Best Dentistry; Best Set of Horse Shoes; and Best Flour (100 pounds). Although a lot of the exhibits have evolved, you can still see livestock being shown during the fair. The days of the fat cattle are gone. Today’s streamlined hogs look nothing like the ones that were shown in the ‘40s and ‘50s. When the photography department started there was a large display of slides that were shown. Now they have been replaced by digital images and even cell phone pictures. Commercial exhibits have always been a big part of the fair. Tractors and farm equipment continue today as a large part of the outside displays. Their scale would dwarf the tractors of old. The tractor pull has been a part of the fair’s entertainment since 1952. Wouldn’t the farmers at the 100th fair in 1955 have marveled over the size and horsepower of the tractors of today? In the last 160 years the fair was only canceled for one year. In 1862, the soldiers on their way to the Civil War used the fairgrounds as an encampment location. In 1870, the first amphitheater was built, 128-feet long with seating for 1,500 people. It cost $1,400 so it was determined to raise the ticket price to watch the horse races to 10 cents to help pay the cost. In 1882, there was hot air balloon ascension and a tight rope walker for entertainment. Professor Parker did acrobatic exhibitions on the horizontal bar under the balloon as it rose. In 1890, the new large cattle and horse barns, each 90 x 30 feet, had been built and a new amphitheater was added too. In 1903, over 14,000 people attended the fair on Thursday. There were 1,393 horse tickets sold (that time period’s version of the parking fee). The crowd enjoyed a day full of horse racing, visits with family and old friends and lunch under the shade trees. It was determined that the amount of people who attended the fair that week was approximately equal to one-third of the total population of Bureau County. In 1907, it was estimated that 50,000 people attended the fair with 22,000 present on Thursday. All of the railroads in the county had made special preparations to get the crowds to the fair, including special cars on the Interurban. The train cars were so crowded people were forced to cling to the sides of the cars if they wanted a ride. By 1909, there were 34 automobiles at the fair, and in 1910, for the 55th annual fair, there were 100 cars at the fair. In 1926, the fair was basically rained out and there were mounting expenses left over from the prior fairs where the attendance had also been poor. There was consideration of selling the grounds for $17,000 and closing the society but several people insisted the fair could be saved. The Life Member program was initiated with the plan to sell 800 memberships at $25 each. Although

Like a streak of ... Meteor showers perturb me. Take the latest one for instance. Last week, there was a three or four night period when the Perseid meteor shower was visible to us earthlings. When I heard about it, to say the least, my interest was piqued. Whenever I hear about one of these stellar phenomenons occurring, I get all giddy and excited. When I was a little kid, my parents bought me a small telescope because I was a little space nerd. I remember that I would go outside at night and check out the moon. It wasn’t powerful enough to really view the constellations very well, but I still tried. A couple of times, I think I witnessed some of the voyages of the Starship Enterprise, whose five-year mission was to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. Yeah, I like space stuff. I have been known to drag my wife out of bed at 2:30 in the morning to drive out in the country to get a better view of stars shooting across the inky-black sky. I even brought my son one time when he was very young. He snored his excitement at the display. My family and I have just recently moved out to the country from the big city and its bright, glaring street lights, so I thought that this would be the ideal time to view this astral event. My wife wasn’t home but my 10-year-old daughter was and she came up with the idea to spread a blanket out in the darkest part of the farm yard so we could just lay back and behold the meteor-filled heavens. I was beyond happy to hear this from her. I finally had a semi-willing participant to join me in my nocturnal stargazing habits. I let her pick out the spot in the yard, and I must say that she did an excellent job. It was out of the view of the yard light, which might obscure our view, but yet close

enough to the house that we would have somewhat easy access to snacks and/or bathroom facilities. As we spread out the blanket, I was already starting to point out Orion’s Belt and how you can find the North Star by using the Big Dipper. That’s right, I was getting ready to go full-blown Carl Sagan on her with my vast knowledge of the galaxies, a portion of which might actually be correct. We laid back and we beheld the starfilled sky. She was brimming with questions. She was like my little Mr. Spock, ever curious about the mysteries of the universe. We were going to see bolts of light streak across the sky. This was going to be great. As I explained to her how fast the meteors that we were about to see were traveling, we heard a noise off in the distance. It was a high-pitched yipping noise. It was followed by several other yipping noises. Some were north of our position and some were more to the south and some to the west. Some were farther away while some of the yipping was much closer. I didn’t really think too much about it until Spock asked me what the annoying noise was. I nonchalantly said that I thought it

they didn’t sell that many, they were able to reduce the debt and keep operating. The first fair queen pageant was held in 1939. The queen was chosen on a point scale with judging on her eyes, figure, general features, hair and carriage. It was held for two years and then dropped until returning for the 100th annual fair in 1955 and continues today. The Bureau County Fair Queen for the 160th annual fair is Megan Foes. In the early 1940s, despite World War II, gas and tire rationing and the absence of many young men and women in military service for the country, the fair continued. Once the war was over, the 1945 fair set capacity records. More auto admissions were sold due to the end of gasoline rationing. 4-H had been a part of the fair until 1950 when they moved to a separate week. They felt it would help the young folk if they weren’t subjected to the temptations of the adult fair. A centennial parade was a huge part of the 100th annual Bureau County Fair in 1955. Floats, bands, queens and acts participated in the event on Tuesday night of the fair. Prizes were awarded to the individuals who had attended the most consecutive fairs with

was probably coyotes. As I started to go into the spiel about the time I had seen the aurora borealis at a friend’s house many years ago, I realized that I was talking to myself. I propped my head up just quickly enough to see the shadowy visage of my chief science officer streaking across the dimly moonlit yard to the comparative safety of our front porch. Once she got inside the door, I swear I heard her lock it. Apparently, green-blooded Vulcans don’t particularly care for the wild North American coyote. As I lay there on that blanket contemplating that all of my daughter’s interests in the cosmos had disappeared at warp speed, another coyote started to howl. All of the sudden, I realized that I was the only thing on the menu at the time. It was time to go. So, depending on your viewpoint, in a rare occurrence, two bodies streaked across the horizon that night. The first was small, lightning-quick with a highpitched squeal. The second didn’t move as fast, was much larger with possibly its own orbit and had an even higher-pitched scream to it. We just moved into this country house a short time ago and now I’ll probably have to start looking for another place to live ... one that is coyote-free. Stupid meteor shower.

the winner having attended for 88 years. In 1961, the first Rolle Bolle tournament was held which expanded into a world tournament in 1978. At the 140th fair in 1995, Orion Samuelson and the WGN noon show was the Thursday afternoon entertainment. The free entertainment was Kachunga the Alligator Wrestler. That show returns for the 160th fair. Tim and Karen Barker, chainsaw carving artists, who also performed at the 140th fair will return this year with their beautiful carvings being auctioned off on Sunday afternoon. The 150th fair in 2005 featured the new historical museum in the former horticulture building next to the main gate. A large parade of horses, cars and motorcycles kicked off the event with All Roads Lead to the Fair with Max Armstrong of WGN participating. So much has changed but so much stays the same during the annual fair. Visiting with friends and families, enjoying the entertainers and shows, watching the livestock shows, competing for ribbons, riding carnival rides and eating great fair food – let’s keep the tradition going for another 160 years. See you at the 160th annual Bureau County Fair Aug. 26-30, and let’s make some memories!

SPRING VALLEY — There’s a lot of new going around at Hall High School. For starters, there’s a brand new school, though not quite open for business yet. The Lady Devils volleyball team is enjoying the new gym and have a new coach. Bernadette (Bryant) Savitch, a 1993 Hall graduate, has taken over as acting head coach with coach Megan Uphoff on maternity leave with the birth of her son, Beau, on Monday, Aug. 17. Savitch said the transition has gone really well. “I was able to make a lot of the summer functions and got a good feel for

what the girls can do. Coach Uphoff and I keep in touch frequently. I keep her updated on the athletes’ progress and who is making strides. This is her program and I’m just here to run things for the time being so that next year she can step back in full swing and pick up from where she left off.” Senior captain Brooke Keegan said the new coach has fit right in. “She’s great. She played at North Central. She knows a lot about volleyball, a lot about the game. I think we’ll do great with her. She’s great with us. We all love her.” Keegan and fellow captain Caitlyn

Maynard bears down for hole-in-one By Kevin Hieronymus

For getting a hole-inone on that hole, Maynard was rewarded free ice cream for life by Grandma Rosie’s in Princeton. He said even though the hole attendant had momentarily stepped away from the hole and he was unable to buy a ticket for the prize, Grandma Rosie’s, called the next day to reward him his tasty prize. Maynard was golfing with Ron Kastor, Jack Ackerman and Mike Smith. Kastor had shot a hole in one on the same hole about five years ago, Maynard said.

Mike Maynard of Walnut has been golfing in the ServiceMaster DSI Sports Charity Golf Outing at Chapel Hill Golf Course for the past few years, his company, TCI of Walnut, sponsoring a hole each year to help the United Way fundraiser. This year’s event became a whole lot more exiting for Maynard. On Saturday, Aug 15, Maynard recorded a hole-inone on the par 3, 98-yard No. 8 hole. “First one, probably the last one. Everybody that saw that shot knows there was no skilled involved. It was just a lucky shot,” Maynard said, He happened to be playing with two members of the 1985 Chicago Bears Super Bowl champs, Dan Hampton and Steve “Mongo” McMichael, who were most impressed “They thought it was awesome. They said of all the golf outings they’ve been too, they’ve never had one of the partici-

Lady Lions set high goals By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Blue-White Soccer Tanner Kuhne (left) and Ryan Frank do battle in Thursday’s Blue-White soccer scrimmage at Bryant Field. The Tigers kick off the season at 5 p.m. Monday vs. Stillman Valley at Bryant Field. The Blue-White football scrimmage was held Friday after BCR press deadlines.

LAMOILLE — Hallie May knows what she’s got in her returning players, and she’s liking it. She has three returning starters who look to take the Lady Lions’ recent success to the next level. “The girls have set very high goals for themselves this season, and I have no doubt they will achieve them, and then some,” said May, a 2009 LaMoille High grad now in her sixth season as Lady Lions coach.

The Lady Lions finished 13-15-1 overall last year, placing in a three-way tie for fourth place in the Little Ten Conference. Key seniors returning are Erika Zimmerlein on the outside and Rae Schultz at setter. Zimmerlein was a Second Team All-BCR selection, ranked second in the area with 177 kills. May said both have worked very hard over the summer. “Erika is just Erika — she can truly dominate from the outside as she jumps so high over the block. Rae is showing

more and more confidence in her setting and running the offense,” May said. Two other seniors, Sarah Hunter and Jordyn Pinter, round out that class. May said Hunter has by far shown the most improvement she has ever have seen in a player from one year to the next. She will be the Lady Lions’ other middle paired with returning sophomore Lexi Loftus. Pinter will join junior Riley Johnson, a high energy player, who

From Page 9 replaces long time libero Ragen Forbes, now at Sauk, in the back row. “Riley’s energy and hustle is a huge part of our defense,” May said. Junior Alana Cherry will be on the outside and is a nice compliment to Zimmerlein’s power hitting, May said. Working with Schultz at setter in the Lady Lions’ 6-2 offense will be 5-11 lefty Paige Conner, who May said provides many options and is a natural leader. Sophomore Maddi Deery will see time on the weak side. Rounding out the varsity squad are juniors Hannah Pinter (MB), Haley Monier (OPP) and Katy Anderson (DS). May looks at defending champ Newark and Indian Creek as the teams to beat in the Little Ten Conference this season. The Lady Lions will open the season Monday, Aug. 24, at Amboy.

From Page 9 Jablonski are the only two seniors on the squad, and will be relied upon for their leadership, on and off the court. “We got a lot of new ones, a lot of incoming varsity (players). We only have a couple returners. We’ll have to really step up and be leaders for them,” Keegan said. “But I think they’re adjusting really well, they’re all great. We all get along really well, really quickly and play well together.” Keegan, Savitch said, is the core of the team. “We will be relying on Brooke this year quite a bit. We definitely expect great things from her this season as she has put a lot of time into this sport in the off season,” Savitch said. Jablonski is transitioning from a right side hitter to outside. While this will be a huge adjustment, Savitch said, Jablonski “is working hard and, in time, I think she will adjust to that new role.” Junior Jenna Lusietto will be playing middle again this year and is expected to be one of Hall’s better hitters and

blockers this year. Sophomore Madi Soldati slides into the libero position, stabilizing the Lady Devils’ defense this year along with junior defensive specialist Madi Quinn. “We expect to see both of those girls skills grow as the season progresses,” Savitch said. The Hall squad includes six juniors in all, including Shana Piotrowski (DS), Tori Coble (RH), Abby Hoscheid (OH) and Maddie Vanko (DS). There are also three sophomores in Kaelyn Hamalle (OH/ MH), Cassidy Jablonski (MH) and Soldati, and a freshman, Gertie Savitch (OH/DS). Savitch said some of the younger girls will also be expected to fill roles at the lower levels due to low numbers. “Those girls are doing well being bounced around for practice and have really had a good attitude pulling double duties,” Savitch said. Savitch directed the team over the summer and said they spent a lot of time as well as the beginning of the season on defense and serve receive as both she and coach Uphoff felt that was the area the team needed

Watching Marcel Marceau and Shields & Yarnell, he loved the illusion of creating an image or thought with nothing more than movement.

PRINCETON — The most unique attraction at the 160th Bureau County Fair in Princeton is the demolition derby, set for 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 30, and presented by and sponsored by Spring Valley City Bank, Dakota Street Insurance, Heartland Auto Body and Central Bank. Demolition derbies always attract more people than any other event at the county fair because its fun for both drivers and spectators. “This is an opportunity to break every traffic law there is and maybe get paid for it.” The object is simple: Two rows of cars line up, rear bumper to rear bumper. When the flag drops, they race toward each other and meet in a huge traffic accident. Drivers try to knock out all the other cars before they can knock him or her out. The spectators watching get as much of a kick out of the carnage as the drivers, picking their favorites and cheering them on. The derby is produced by the fair and complete rules are available on the

fair’s website at www. bureaucountyfair.com or by calling Jason Floyd at 815-590-8873. First place is guaranteed unless stated. All prize money is guaranteed and goes up with more paid entrants. Payouts are: Fair Class (80 or newer), $2,000 to win; Compacts, $700 to win; Wire Class with passenger, $2,000 to win; Beginner Wire Class with passenger, $700 to win, 16-18 year olds only, must have been 18 in 2014; Trucks, $700 to win (10 trucks or more). The purse will go up with more entries. Download the complete rules at the fair

website. A new feature this year is the Power Wheels Demo for kids ages 3 to 9 which starts at 2:30 p.m., right before the main derby. Great seats for the derby are on sale now at the fair office. Pit passes are $25 day of show, reserved grandstand seats are $15, general admission is $12 and ages 7 to 12 are $6. Kids 6 and under are free. For ticket information, call 815-875-2905.

Heavy horse pulls will be Aug. 26 PRINCETON — The newest event at the 160th Bureau County Fair in Princeton is the heavy horse pull at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 26. It is sanctioned by the Wisconsin Horse Puller’s Association. Tickets are $5 for adults, kids 12 and under are free. There will be two classes of draft horses (3,300 pounds and heavyweights), pulling on a dynamometer (the apparatus that was made to measure horsepower). These gentle giants pull as a team and the team pulling the biggest load the furthest distance is declared the winner and

so-forth down the line. Unlike a tractor pull where the load gets heavier as they pull, the dynamometer stays at a preset weight for a distance of 27 feet and 6 inches. That is a qualified load to go on a bigger load. The dynamometer used is now owned and operated by Scott Skinkis of Brillion, Wis., and use to be the old Illinois machine for a lot of years. The dynamometer portion of this machine is built on a 1952 Flat-head Ford and is used just for the sport of horsepulling. Although we never know how many teams will be pulling, we hope to have

a good selection of teams entered. The draft horses are primarily of the Belgian draft horse breed because of their muscular structure. There will be a few Percherons pulling too. If you enjoy seeing draft horses at the fair, come back on Sunday for the draft horse show. Halter classes begin at 10 a.m. the six-horse hitch class will begin after the lunch break. For complete ticket information for this year’s fair, see the fair’s website at www.bureaucountyfair. com. The 160th Bureau County Fair run Aug. 26-30 in Princeton.

This Case IH bench will be auctioned off during the tractor pulls on Saturday, Aug. 29.

Chain saw carvers will return to fair PRINCETON — Tim and Karen Barker, chain saw artists, are carving their way back to the 160th Bureau County Fair in Princeton. Timber Falls Tree Service presents this husband and wife carving team who are returning after being off the road for several years as part of the free entertainment at the fair. The carvers start with a log. Tim and Karen will complete a variety of figures, from woodland creatures like bears, farm animals, totem poles and benches in as little as an hour, to three hours time. They will carve together and separately each day during the fair. The sculptures range from 2 to 9 feet tall. Audiences attending these shows will see work begin, forms beginning to emerge from the wood. Fair-goers can return as often as they like to monitor the progress on the carv-

ings, and watch as new creations pile up. Finally, all the craftsmanship will be auctioned on Sunday, Aug. 30, the last day of the fair, behind the secretary’s office. The auction helps defray the cost of the fair. For complete ticket information for this year’s fair, see the fair’s website at www. bureaucountyfair.com.

Apprehending an alligator PRINCETON — Through the years, the one act that most captivates the imagination of audiences at the fair is watching an American Bushman bare-handedly apprehend a 9-foot, 300-pound alligator … and that’s exactly what you’ll see at the 160th Bureau County Fair in Princeton. Kachunga and the Alligator is an educational fun part of the fair’s free entertainment and is presented by Heartland Bank, AgView FS, Mid American McDonalds and Variety Attractions.

38 Special, Lonestar, Jo Dee Messina at this year’s fair PRINCETON — The Bureau County Fair in Princeton, as part of the 160th fair, will present two concerts for the 2015 fair. On Thursday, Aug. 27, the fair will present 38 Special, with opening act Forgotten Highway, at 8 p.m., and on Friday, Aug. 28, the fair will present Lonestar with special guest Jo Dee Messina at 8 p.m. Tickets for all 2015 fair shows are available at www.bureaucountyfair. com, at the fair box office or by phone order. After more than three decades together, 38 Special continues to bring its signature blast of Southern rock to more than 100 cities a year. And at each and every show, thousands of audience members are amazed by the explosive power of the band’s performance. A 20-year anniversary is cause for celebration, and Lonestar is marking this career milestone in more ways than one. Reunited with original lead singer Richie McDonald, the multi-platinum country music quartet is working hard on a brand new album and embarking on an extensive anniversary tour, with over 90 dates scheduled in North America alone. They are

known for merging their country roots with strong melodies and rich vocals. Jo Dee Messina fans got what they’d been clamoring for as the multiplatinum, award-winning country singer/songwriter released her new fulllength album in March. With its title ME chosen by fans, the album marks her most personal album to date as she wrote or co-wrote many of the

songs released it on her own newly established label, Dreambound Records. Although this album is a fresh start for Jo Dee, she is no stranger to the entertainment world. Debuting in 1996 with the hit single “Heads Carolina, Tales California,” she has charted nine No. 1 singles, 16 Top 40 singles and sold more than 5 million records worldwide.
