The power of the picture Princeton Police interested in equipping officers with body cameras

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — As a way to strengthen the bond between citizens of the Princeton community and their law enforcement officers, the Princeton Police

Department (PPD) may become a model agency for body cameras. After all, when it comes to matters of justice, the camera doesn’t lie.

Princeton Police Chief Tom Root said there’s been a nationwide push for body

cameras on officers, especially in bigger cities like Chicago, as mounting frustration concerning the poor behavior of some police officers has caused dissension between law enforcement and the public. Root applied for a grant that was just

introduced — for agencies of 25 officers or less — in an attempt to build the necessary means of trust back up.

“Body cameras are a tool, and they can help us justify our actions,” Root said, adding the cameras would not only keep citizens account-

able, but officers as well, by being a deterrent of unsuitable decisions. “I think the only people in law enforcement who have issues are officers who aren’t used to change; or those who have something to hide because their actions are not what

they should be.”

The body cameras are small and lightweight — about the size of a cigarette pack — and they hook onto the officer’s uniform by the name tag. Root said the

Making industry meaningful IVCC’s MIMIC Fair provides practical lessons of product development

Jeremiah Krager (from left), Haley Whitlock and Sabrina Dancy of IVCC Guitar Productions built a series of guitars from vintage gaming consoles and sold out during the 21st annual MIMIC Fair on Wednesday, April 20. MIMIC, Making Industry Meaningful in College, is a nationally-recognized program bringing together students from different majors and teaches the skills needed to bring a product from concept to market. Not pictured are Joseph McAchran and Nick Carter.

Donate From Page 1 discriminate, and one never knows if or when their name could be added to that list of those who will die without the gift of life.

“I know it sounds cliche, but like they always say, ‘Don’t take your organs to heaven; heaven knows we need them here,’” said Bureau County Coroner Janice Wamhoff.

Earlier this month, Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White kicked off the state’s organ/tissue donor campaign as part of a statewide effort to encourage registration and awareness at all 138 driver services facilities in the state of Illinois.

“Since many registrations happen at our facilities, we want to be sure that people are informed when making the decision to give the gift of life,” said White. “There are many myths that make some people fearful about donation, and we want to dispel those concerns.”

April is National Donate Life Month. Organizations will be working together to promote donor awareness throughout the state.

Local efforts As coroner in Bureau County, Wamhoff is one of the people on the front lines, as the need for organ/tissue donations continues to grow. Wamhoff said there are two types of donations: Organ

VE A S

donations are those that involve the heart, lungs, spleen, liver, kidneys and any vital organs for continuance of life; tissue donations include corneas, heart valves, connective tissue, bones, skin, etc.

Wamhoff said she primarily works with families on tissue donations, since organ donations require the organ donor to be in an area that has a bigger trauma center where those life-saving organs can be harvested. If someone has those life-threatening issues where organ donation might be an option, that local person is immediately transported to a larger trauma center. The person must be kept alive via incubation to ensure oxygen still gets to those vital organs, even though the person’s brain is not working. Time is of the essence in those cases.

“Your heart still has to be beating; you still have to have oxygen going through your body,” Wamhoff said of eligible organ donors.

“So if you are declared brain dead. and there’s no hope at all, that person is going to be LifeFlighted and taken to surgery. The brain has to be dead with no chance of bringing back that brain.

“But our goal is not to make them an organ donor; the goal is to get them to survive,” she said.

Those considering tissue donation for a loved one have a bit more time, since the need for oxygen to those tissues is not necessary.

OGLESBY — Education is important, but to employers experience often counts for just as much as classroom time. IVCC’s Making Industry Meaningful In College (MIMIC) program helps bridge that divide by providing students with practical, realworld experience in designing, troubleshooting, manufacturing and marketing products.

This nationally-recognized program, now in its 21st year, joins together students with business administration, engineering and electronics majors to develop products from concept to completion. Each member utilizes the knowledge gained in their previous classrooms to help their team overcome the various problems which will undoubtedly arise during any business venture.

Dorene Data, computer aided drafting (CAD) instructor, program coordinator and one of the MIMIC co-founders said, “We want our students to not only have ability, but to be employable. Our students have skills with communication, teamwork, problem solving and time management. This is as close to real-life as we can get them. We found during the first year that we didn’t need to build in problems to their projects because

Wamhoff said once a person is pronounced dead, she first finds out if the person has registered to be an organ donor with the Department of Motor Vehicles.

“If they have registered, it gives me a little extra knowledge, and I can talk with a family and let them know that their love one had made his/her wishes known about being an organ donor,” Wamhoff said.

“Then I have to ask how they feel about that.”

While it is ultimately the family’s choice for tissue donation, hospitals are legally able to go ahead and harvest organs for donation without a family’s consent. “it is, at times, a hard conversation, but for me I go in with the attitude if they are at all hesitant, I’m not going to push them.

That would be the worst mistake I could make. If they want to think about it (with tissue donation), I give them that time. Especially those who have signed their license and said I want to be a donor,” Wamhoff said. “Then the family is more welcoming.

“Those families whose loved ones haven’t make their decision known, those are the hard ones because their family doesn’t know how their loved ones felt,” Wamhoff said, adding it’s very important for family members to discuss their wishes with one another before those conversations aren’t able to take place.

“If the family says no, it’s up to them,” Wamhoff continued. “If

good as most teams reported they had sold all of their products. Some of the teams were able to increase revenue through raffles or other attractions. The builders of the gamer guitars raffled off a custom built case for those who had purchased a guitar for $125. They also offered 10 minutes of play on an original Nintendo console for $5.

Jon Easley, business administration major and member of the team selling metal garden art, said, “We learned in hindsight we should have built more of these because they’ve been popular. We didn’t have many problems as a group. Getting our design right took the most time.”

The most significant change to happen to the MIMIC program throughout the years has come from the advances in technology, and IVCC has kept pace with the ever changing world.

Data was laughing when she described the past, saying, “When we first began, we used to make lamps out cups and saucers and stuff like that,; it’s funny to see how much everything has changed. Now we have 3-D printers, plasma cutters and so much more technology. Our students are making products with so much more sophistication, we couldn’t have done that 21 years ago.”

they arrive on their own.”

There were five student teams or “companies” displaying their wares at the MIMIC Fair on April 20. A sixth team held the responsibility of organizing and promoting the event which was held in the cafeteria foyer. Products for sale included fire pits, a steppy cup game, metal garden art, a handle to assist with carrying grocery bags and a series of guitars created out of vintage gaming consoles.

Haley Whitlock, business administration major and member of the gamer guitar company, said of the MIMIC program, “It’s very hands-on from beginning to finish. We had to come up with a strategic business plan, design it, stay within budget, build it and market it.”

Shannon Bronner, member of the company marketing fire pits, said, “It’s a real business situation where you have to depend on other people. There were also times when decisions had to be made without others. Our biggest challenge was production because it was out of our hands, and we had no choice but to wait.”

Nicole Vavaroutsos, from the steppy cup game company, said, “It definitely gives you real-life experience. You learn a lot about what works and what doesn’t as it all comes together.”

Sales at the MIMIC Fair were

it’s a no, it’s a no. I understand that. If it’s a yes, then that’s wonderful.”

If a family agrees to donate their loved one’s tissue, the tissue group is notified (Gift of Hope in Chicago or Springfield), and the family must give a medical history of the deceased and the ultimate consent.

Wamhoff said when a person signs up to be an organ donor, the assumption is usually that he/she wants to be an organ donor first, but if that can’t be, then being a tissue donor is usually part of that understanding.

Who can be a donor?

Currently, people between the ages of infants to 71 years old are considered for organ/tissue donation, although a lot of the criteria continues to change, and some donations are considered on a case-by-case basis. Surprisingly, a history of cancer or diabetes doesn’t automatically rule one out from being a donor, although illnesses like being HIV positive, AIDS and hepatitis, and other conditions/circumstances, such as being extremely overweight, can cause people to be turned down as donors. Wamhoff also said a person’s injuries that caused his/ her death may also keep them from being donors.

While families struggling to make a decision about organ/ tissue donation may be worried about their deceased loved one being disfigured, Wamhoff said

that’s not the case.

“Because you are an organ or tissue donor, it will not disfigure the deceased in a manner that would be evident to anyone,” she said.

“People are dying daily because they need a transplant — so many people on that list, and so many people who are dying with good organs because they are afraid they are disfiguring their loved ones or hurting them somehow.

But they are not. They are bringing life to another person,” she said.

The life-saving list Wamhoff said those people waiting for organ transplants are placed on a list depending on how critical they are — those who are going to die soon without that transplant top the list.

According to a press release from White’s office, “Currently, there are more than 5.9 million people registered to become organ/tissue donors in Illinois.

However, more than 5,000 are on the waiting list, and about 300 people die each year waiting for an organ transplant.”

“We encourage Illinoisans to join the Secretary of State’s Organ and Tissue Donor Registry,” said White. “It takes less than a minute, and one person can improve the quality of life for up to 25 people.”

Illinoisans can register with the Secretary of State Organ/Tissue Donor Program at LifeGoesOn. com, 800-210-2106 or by visiting their local Driver Services facility.

Health department gets grant to battle heroin The Bureau & Putnam County Health Departments have announced they are the recipient of a 2016 Challenge Award from the National Association of County and City Health Officials. This $15,000 grant is to support the Bureau/Putnam and Marshall County Medical Reserve Corps in its efforts to reduce the use and impact of heroin and related drugs and is one of only 17 awarded in Illinois and 167 awarded nationally.

The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a national network of volunteers, organized locally to improve the health and safety of its communities. The MRC network comprises 987 community-based units and almost 200,000 volunteers located throughout the United States and its territories. There is a unit serving Bureau and Putnam counties and a unit serving Marshall County.

MRC volunteers include medical and public health professionals, as

well as other community members without health care backgrounds. MRC units engage these volunteers to strengthen public health, improve emergency response capabilities and build community resiliency. They prepare for and respond to natural disasters, such as wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, and floods, as well as other emergencies affecting public health, such as disease outbreaks. They frequently contribute to community health activities that promote healthy habits.

The grant will support the continued development and work of a heroin task force that includes medical and mental health professionals, law enforcement, faith-based representatives, service providers and other volunteers.

The task force will advise the health department on how best to direct local efforts. The grant includes funds for the purchase of Naloxone for use by local law enforcement in all

All that jazz ...

The Logan Junior High School Jazz Band teamed up for a joint concert with the Princeton Community Jazz Band on Saturday, April 23, at the Bureau County Fairgrounds in Princeton. The evening featured the debut performance of the newly-formed Princeton Community Jazz Band under the direction of Brandon Stover.

Cameras From Page 1 camera picture quality is fantastic, and officers don’t have the accessibility to change any of the footage. The visual data will go into a 32-terabyte in-house server system, and an administrator will be capable of searching a date and time to view specific footage.

Root said only 40 grants will be handed out nationwide, so he is working with a grant writer in Chicago who can hopefully steer them toward approval. One of the grant requirements is the PPD would be a model agency, implementing four cameras right away as soon as they receive them. They would then implement more in phases until all officers had one. He added the PPD is currently experimenting with one camera to get the feel for the process.

Root took the idea of a match grant — which would require $15,000 from Princeton, to be matched by the state, for the purchase of 20 cameras and a kiosk — to the Princeton City Council and got approval, so funds will be available if the grant is

awarded.

“Prosecution is one of the main benefits of the cameras because you can’t tell me that’s not you if you’re caught on tape,” Root said, adding he feels State’s Attorney offices all across the state are fans of body cameras on police officers.

Even if they aren’t awarded the grant, Root said he will look to implement the strategy some other way. Jim Dison, Kewanee Chief of Police, told Root all the cameras Kewanee officers wear were donated by local banks and businesses who came together to promote the security of their community.

Root said the cameras should not be viewed as data banks of destruction, but as ways to capture and promote acts of kindness as well. The grant will be submitted at the end of April for approval.

“If we were able to get them, that’d be pretty cool, but our main goal is to build up the partnership with the community and build the trust back,” he concluded. “There are pros and cons with body cameras, but I think they’ll not only benefit the agency but the public in general.”

Sen. Chuck Weaver hosts Spring Youth Advisory Council PEORIA — As the second part of an all-inclusive civics lesson, about 40 students from the 37th Senate District took part in state Sen. Chuck Weaver’s first Youth Advisory Council on Wednesday, April 20, at the Illinois State Capitol.

“These students are the ‘smartest of the smartest;’ they are all solid kids. They were able to learn first-hand how government works, and we talked at length about leadership,” said Weaver (R-Peoria).

The students participated in a mock debate on legislation, which would have required mandatory drug testing for welfare recipients. Legislative, lobbyist, media, citizen roles were all acted out during the mock committee hearing which involved the Youth Advisory Council members.

Students from Dunlap, Elmwood, Galesburg, Galva, Knoxville, Metamora, Oneida and Princeton took part in the 2016 Spring Youth Advisory Council. A diverse group of students were

Good From Page 1 After graduate school, Good found a job with the Farmer’s Home Administration — currently the rural development branch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. During that time he was associated with various engineering companies before one of those companies offered him a job in Columbus, Ind. Good stayed with that firm for 13 years before spending five years in Arizona.

One day the Midwest asked Good to bring his knowledge home, and he began at Chamlin and Associates in 1990.

“Chamlin was selected to be Spring Valley’s city engineer that same year, so I’ve been actively involved in the makeup of the city of Spring Valley 21 out of the last 25 years,” Good said, who made a personal pledge long ago to finish every project he started.

Good noted engineering has its basic principles, like math and physics, but the technology has certainly progressed over the last half century through electronics and computers. He used a slide rule in college and witnessed the advent of calculators in 1972 — costing $450 and equipped with a chain to deter office thieves — whereas now they cost $5 and have 100 times the capability.

Early computers were very slow and limited compared to today, he said, although doing something once and allowing the old computer to perform its process of data replication was

Weaver said the event is the first-of-its-kind for the 37th District and pro-

much more convenient than replicating the calculations by hand.

“We were able to do more rigorous analysis without having to charge for it, and the advances continued over time, with the speed and memory sizes of devices allowing for more to be done faster,” Good said, adding members of the younger generation may adhere to technology with more vigor than he, but Good is no fool to the efficiencies at his disposal.

When Good started out in the field of engineering he was using programs he wrote, so he accepted the responsibility to understand what the program was doing. Without passing judgment, he feels students today may be taught how to use tools, but not necessarily what’s behind them.

“One of my concerns is we rely too much on technology,” Good said, adding it is no excuse for an engineer to blame a faulty design on a computer program. “It’s a tool that doesn’t accept any blame, so it’s your responsibility to understand what the software is doing.”

Congress passed the Clean Water Act in 1972, the same year Good began his engineering career.

“The National Society of Engineers has a code of ethics that spells out how to perform our tasks,” he said, noting a college course can show you how to be an engineer, not how to make a living as one. “If you seal something, you’re verifying you responsibly did it all to the requirements.

Each design has to meet certain standards normal for an activity.”

state senators, Sue Rezin (R-Morris) and Jason Barickman (R-Normal), and two lobbyists who deal with higher education and human services.

Good obeys the laws of engineering not so much to avoid liability, but because his upbringing in a faithful household created a bond to the principles of truth. There have been times when he had to take a stand against something he didn’t agree with, but noted fortunately those situations were few and far between.

“You don’t have to worry about remembering what you said if you’re always telling the truth.”

Good has always offered helpful hands and ideas to the people of Spring Valley, and said he enjoyed building up the community and making things better for them. Water problems are not unique to Spring Valley, but are all over the area, so he has cleaned up lakes and rivers with resolve, yet never cut corners doing so.

“It’s not to say I didn’t make mistakes, but over the last 45 years I feel the companies I’ve worked for and I have done a very credible job of meeting the needs of these small communities,” he said, adding many minds complete the portfolio of institutional knowledge and expertise the challenges require.

Good admitted his body is telling him to slow down and go see his grandkids in Wyoming and California, and now that he’s officially retired he can do just that. Just don’t ask him to turn his mental engine off because his heart won’t allow for such things.

“I am proud to say I’ve been blessed because I never hated getting up and going to work.”

​LASALLE — The citizens of the Tri-County area kept Illinois State Police (ISP) troopers busy in March.

According to a press release from ISP Trooper Jason Wilson, ISP District 17 troopers handled 1,739 calls for service and assistance during March 2016, 158 of which were to help motorists whose vehicles were disabled on area highways.

The troopers apprehended six persons who were wanted on outstanding warrants, and aimed to curb the criminal activity in the area by making 19 arrests for criminal activity. Eleven individuals were arrested for driving under the influence, while three apprehensions for other alcohol-related offenses were recorded.

Concerning traffic enforcement activities, troopers issued a total of 413 traffic citations — 217 of which were drivers arrested for speeding and 45 cited for seat belt violations — along with 797 written warnings for motorists.

Troopers and weight inspectors issued seven citations for overweight loads and four written warnings for overweight violations. They also handled 22 traffic crashes within the Tri-County area of LaSalle, Bureau and Putnam. There was one fatal crash handled by District 17 Troopers.

Editor

From the editor’s desk It’s difficult to believe this is the final editor’s column I will write for April. Time keeps marching forward, and I spend much of my day/life trying to Terri keep up with daily obligations at the Simon office. I know I’m not telling you anything COMMENTARY ... We all seem to be on a tight schedule, but I do look forward to the weekends, despite the mounting obligations I have at home and in the yard. At least the deadlines I set there are ones I’ve created for myself, and there’s no stopping the presses if I don’t get something done there.

••• Congratulations are in order to those honored at last week’s Princeton Chamber of Commerce’s annual meeting. Gary Swanson is this year’s grand marshal — I can’t think of anyone more deserving. Also honored were Ginger Freeberg, Ambassador of the Year; Bruce Jewelers, Chamber Member of the Year; and the Princeton Lions Club, Chamber Service Club of the Year. Applause, applause, applause.

••• What a mess with the state’s overpayment of an estimated $168 million to the taxing districts that receive Personal Property Replacement Tax Funds. Wow! Collectively, the overpayment in Bureau County was more than $310,000. In a place in time when budgets are very tight for municipalities, schools, townships and the like, it’s really a blow.

The crux of this issue is how the state will require these entities to reimburse the state for the mistake it made.

Given the state’s recent history in its payments ... well, enough said.

Perhaps Princeton Elementary School District Superintendent Tim Smith said it best. The PES District has to repay almost $40,000 to the state.

“This is like a bad movie that just never ends,” Smith said. “I’m very discouraged by this information because it’s not good for our district that’s already borrowing money to operate. They tell us our population is meeting their standards, but it’s about time we hold them to a standard and say they aren’t meeting it when they make mistakes like this.”

What a mess ...

••• This Saturday, Community Partners Against Substance Abuse (CPASA) will host its annual Take Back Day, where people can get rid of their unwanted or unused prescription drugs — no questions asked. The concept of this national event is to keep unused prescription drugs out of the hands of those who might abuse them. It’s a great program, and to date, the local effort has collected more than 9,000 pounds of unused medications.

The event is held in various towns in the area, including Princeton Police Department from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Granville Police Department/Village Hall from 10 a.m. to noon; Buda Police Department/Village Hall from 9 a.m. to noon; Tiskilwa Fire Department from 9 to noon; Walnut Police Department/Village Hall from 9 a.m. to noon; and Wyanet Police Department/Village Hall from 9 a.m. to noon.

This is a great service. Hats off to CPASA and all those who participate.

••• Frequently I get calls from people who ask me to keep a police beat out of the newspaper. My answer is always the same ... “No. I can’t. It would compromise the integrity of this newspaper if I were able to pick and choose which police beats get published and which ones don’t.”

On the flip side of the coin, I often get calls from people who ask why we didn’t publish a particular police beat, and again, my answer is always the same ... “If the police issued a report, we will publish it.”

It’s as simple as that.

••• Don’t forget May Day is next Saturday. Remember the days of May baskets? What fun we had. Why not relive those moments with your children, grandchildren ... even the neighbor kids. Make some memories. It will be fun, and no doubt the youngsters in your lives will have some fun memories of that special day too. I’m always surprised when today’s children have never heard of May Day. Have a great week. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

On the street

What’s your favorite May Day memory?

“My favorite May Day memory was the year my only son was born.”

Jean Bates, Princeton

“My favorite May Day memory was when I was little in England. We would learn to dance around the Maypole and perform for our parents.”

Julie Nelson, Princeton

“We used to make May Day baskets at school and put fresh flowers in them.

We then hung them on a door and ran away.”

Toma Newburn, Peru

“I made May baskets when I was little and then with my own children. I still make May baskets with my granddaughter.”

Julia McCutchan, Princeton

“My favorite May Day memory was when the music class I was teaching learned how to do the Maypole Dance. They got all scrambled up in practice but luckily the performance went fine.”

Lola Huffaker, Princeton

TO Letter THE Editor

​‘We are all in this together; we will all wait in line’ Editor’s note: The following guest commentary exceeds the Bureau County Republican’s 500-word limit for letters to the editor, therefore, the BCR will consider a guest commentary with an opposing view. Contact BCR Editor Terri Simon at 815-875-4461, ext. 6330, before submitting.

To the Editor, Lessie Bates Davis Neighborhood House welcomes residents of all ages: Parents seeking child development services, seniors attending adult day care, families working their way out of poverty. It’s a beating heart in the East St. Louis community, and yet the budget impasse is cutting off its blood supply.

When I visited Lessie Bates in August, they voiced concerns about the impending impact of Illinois’ budget crisis. I returned on April 12 following the announcement of 117 layoffs and significant program cuts to deal with the nonpayment of $1 million in state funds.

That’s 117 taxpayers — and their families — that are now facing the immediate crisis of how to pay their mortgages, care for their children and meet their other obligations.

It’s a sad and all too familiar story for social service organizations around the state. And still, the state’s General Assembly and governor have been unable to reach an agreement on passing a balanced budget.

Just this week I spoke with a teen at A Safe Haven on Chicago’s west

side who told me how the culinary program helped change his life when he was at his lowest point. He is now employed as a chef at Gibson’s Steak House. I listened to his remarkable story knowing the state of Illinois owes A Safe Haven more than $1.3 million, and the vital services he spoke about are at risk.

We’re now approaching our 11th month without a budget. Our state has nearly $8 billion in unpaid bills, another $2.5 billion in bills on the way, and an unfunded pension liability of more than $100 billion. The resulting devastation can be seen in every corner or the state.

While nonprofits serving our most vulnerable residents are slashing services or closing completely, businesses, too, are laying off employees in a last ditch effort to survive. College students are leaving school because they have not received grants they were promised. And universities and community colleges are feeling the hurt as well — in fact, Chicago State University is facing the real possibility of closing if there is no budget in place by the end of this month.

These are taxpayers of the state that we are hurting with this budget crisis.

They are funding state government, but are now in peril because that very government refuses to deliver on its core function. And they feel the lack of urgency while our state leaders discuss legislation on flamethrowers, bobcat harvesting and state artifacts.

Let me be clear, this is an emergency. Our small businesses, organizations and families are suffering.

They’re all waiting to get paid.

So should our elected leaders.

That is why I directed my staff to treat payments for all elected state officials just like every other state payment, which face significant delays due to the bill backlog. That means that instead of being compensated monthly, I, along with the State Treasurer, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Lt. Governor and Governor — and the 177 members of the General Assembly — will wait to receive our pay, just like everyone else.

I did not take this action lightly.

Many of our leaders are true public servants who care about their constituents and communities. But so are the many organizations and businesses throughout Illinois who have, in good faith, provided services to the state, yet still wait months for payment. It’s a matter of fundamental fairness.

And frankly, if this action helps bring all sides together to focus on the most important task at hand — passing a balanced budget — so we can end this unnecessary and devastating hardship on our state, then that will be an added benefit.

We are ALL in this together, and we ALL will wait in line.

Illinois Comptroller, Leslie Geissler Munger Springfield

‘They just need to get out of the way’ To the Editor, On Saturday, March 26, I saw an interesting show titled, “What on earth is that?” on the Science Channel. It showcased different parts of the world with pictures taken from satellite cameras.

One got my attention. It was one taken from an infrared camera showing the United States with a red haze.

When they investigated, they found it was photosynthesis where the corn takes carbon dioxide from the air and gives off oxygen. The announcer said the cornfields in the U.S. give back more oxygen than the rainforest in South America. Very interesting fact.

I had read that cornfields have the

capability to filter the air. Probably accounts for the fact that the air is fresher in the country. I would have thought that one of the many government agencies that are constantly testing the farmers’ practices aren’t so scientific, as they would lead you to believe. It seems I am reading how the farmers are ruining the air, soil and water. Even water in the Gulf of Mexico.

Maybe they should go back to the drawing board. With all the experts they should rent some land and show farmers what to do, I’m not talking about renting a test plot. They would find that you only get paid a couple times a year, no paid vacations or sick time, no retirement and no health care.

Input costs are high to the landowner.

They pay a high amount of real estate taxes to support the local schools. No control over what they get for products or what they pay for the expenses. It’s a hard way to run a business.

Farmers don’t need to have so many agencies tell them what to do. They just need to get out of the way, so farmers can feed the world and provide reasonably-priced safe products. Guidelines set up by the FDA and farmers are very careful and are good protectors of the soil to keep producing food. Incidentally, I am one of those farmers and am a lady landowner.

Diabetes meeting offered monthly at PMH PRINCETON — The diagnosis of diabetes is becoming more common than many other health conditions.

Ongoing management of diabetes is important in limiting the complications which can develop with diabetes. An individual with diabetes must learn many lifestyle changes in order to take control of the disease and decrease the complications and their impact on their quality of life.

Change isn’t always easy and especially difficult if it is being done without support. Perry

Memorial Hospital wants to provide information and support to those who are dealing with diabetes.

Each month, on the second Tuesday, PMH has an informational meeting to provide up-to-date guidelines and realistic ways to manage the diagnosis of diabetes. There will also be time at each meeting for open discussion and sharing of ideas.

The next diabetes meeting will be at 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 10, in the White Oak Classroom at the hospital. To register for the meeting, call Marcia Hartwig at 815-876-4449.

BVHS Canned Madness MANLIUS — Three service organizations at Bureau Valley High School joined efforts to collect more than 1,185 items that have been distributed to local food pantries within the Bureau Valley School District.

Future Farmers of America, National Honor Society and Renaissance coordinated the food drive for two weeks in March. The drive was based on the March Madness NCAA basketball tour-

nament. Each homeroom was given a college team name which allowed students to compete by team or division.

Different food and non-food items were awarded point levels. These levels were determined by food pantry need, with laundry detergent and diapers coming in at 10-points each. The top homeroom was awarded a ice cream sundae party and the winning division received cookies for all students.

All proceeds will be directed to the Hall Township Food Pantry and earmarked for the pantry’s summer giving program – Second Helpings. Summer takes a toll on parents who are struggling to feed their children. During the school year kids are able to eat breakfast and lunch at school, when they are home for the summer, it doesn’t take long to empty the cupboards. Normally, clients are allowed to “shop” at the pantry once a month.

Through this program, those who have children in school are able to come to the pantry twice during the month — or, return for a Second Helping.

ROCK ISLAND — Eight Augustana students performed in a general student recital on Tuesday, April 5, in Wallenberg Hall. Among these student musicians was Abigail Smith of Peru. Selections included “Sonate in A Major, Op. 12, No. 2”

by Ludwig van Beethoven, among others.

Student recitals at Augustana College are a requirement for those pursuing a major in music performance. Other students pursuing a major or minor in music related to composition, general music, or education are highly encouraged to perform in a recital to showcase their progress and musicality.

​Eureka College names Ronald W. Reagan Leadership Fellows EUREKA — Eureka College has selected six incoming freshmen as Reagan Fellows in the Ronald W. Reagan Leadership Program.

The award, based on leadership, service and academic excellence, includes a full-tuition scholarship over four years as well as global travel and professional mentorship opportunities.

The students were selected from 80 semifinalists in a competition held on campus in February.

Among the six students was Jacob Doan, the son of Pat and Denise Doan of Princeton.

Doan attends Princeton High School, where he is involved in Scholastic Bowl, Science Club and is a mentor for the Ignition Program, a program that helps make the transition to high school easier for incoming freshmen. He is also an Illinois State Scholar, a Bureau County Elk Teen of the Month and has received a certificate of academic excellence. He plans to major in mathematics with teacher certification.

“We are extremely pleased to welcome these six new Reagan Fellows to this distinguished

leadership program,” said Eureka College President J. David Arnold.

“All of them have achieved superb records of excellence in learning, service and leadership during high school. Their futures are bright, and we are delighted that they chose Eureka as their special place to flourish during their college years.”

Besides receiving full tuition, Reagan Fellows participate in workshops and retreats throughout the school year.

Fellows travel as a group during their freshman year to a domes-

tic or international destination.

During the summers of their sophomore and junior years, Reagan Fellows have mentorships with leaders in their areas of study in the United States and abroad. The program provides funding to support travel and living expenses incurred as part of the mentorships.

The Reagan Leadership Program is in its 32nd year. The program is named for Ronald W. Reagan, 40th president of the United States and a 1932 graduate of Eureka College.

Wedekind is right on for Tigers Senior’s walk-off hit sends Legends Wooden Bat title to PHS ​By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

Jett Wedekind gives himself a hand after hitting the game-winning hit to lift the Tigers to a 4-3 win over host Putnam County to claim Saturday’s Legends Wooden Bat Tournament in Granville.

GRANVILLE — There was a catfight on the diamond Saturday between the Putnam County Panthers and the Princeton Tigers with the Tigers scratching and clawing its way to a 4-3 victory to be crowned the 2016 Legend Wood Bat Tournament.

In the top of the seventh, PC freshman Caleb Tonozzi dropped a soft pop fly to right field for an RBI single that tied the game at 3-3 but that proved to be fruitless for PC. The opportune Tigers loaded the bases in its half of the inning and, seemingly for the first time this season, it was all right for senior backstop Jett Wedekind.

It was all right with everyone on the Tigers’ bench too, as Wedekind abandoned the left side of the field for the first time this season and dropped the game winning single into right field to the astonishment of his coach and teammates.

“I don’t know who that kid was that came in and hit for Jett

“I don’t know who that kid was that came in and hit for Jett because he hit it to the right side and Jett doesn’t hit it to the right side.”

because he hit it to the right side and Jett doesn’t hit it to the right side,” PHS coach Tim Taylor said with a chuckle. “Jett has been hitting the ball well all season and in standard Jett fashion he did a nice job hitting the ball today.”

Wedekind’s walk-off game winning single came on a day where he went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBIs. “I think that was the first hit I’ve had to right side this year,” Wedekind said. “I’ve been pulling everything, and I was actually looking to hit a fly ball to left field, but I’ll take that.”

Orion Soccer Invite

Tigresses getting healthy and winning

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

ORION — The Princeton Tigresses made a clean sweep of the Orion Invitational soccer championship Saturday, April 23, defeating Orion, LaSalle-Peru and Streator.

PHS coach Ed Young said the Tigresses are beginning to put everything together as they are getting healthy for what he calls a run at a winnable regional and to compete for sectional.

“We are finding our rhythm and settling in on a style play. Communication is great and movement off of ball is crisp. Goals and

assist coming from multiple players,” Young said.

“I have been without four starters for the past two weeks. Sarah Grieff is out for the season, Ellise Piper and Abby Scaggs have been fighting through back pains and another is returning from disciplinary. Getting the three starters back will only make us better. Three of the girls are defensive backs.”

Jenna Grimmer’s hat trick was all the Tigresses needed to slip past the host Chargers 3-2. She had two from the penalty spot and one outside the “18.”

PHS and keeper Mary Sims blanked L-P 6-0.

Michaela Mall had two goals and Kiley Schenck had two assists with a goal. Anna Murray, Sarah Murray and Jamie Kuhn also scored with Lydia Smallwood chipping in two assists.

The Tigresses finished out the day 3-0 with a 5-2 win over Streator. Schenck and Grimmer added two more goals with Anna Murray tacking on one.

Senior Michalea Strom and juniors Mall and Grimmer were named to the all-tournament team.

PHS improved to 8-5-1 heading into Tuesday’s home match vs. Mendota.

The Princeton Tigers won the Legends Wooden Bat Tournament Saturday, defeating host Putnam County 4-3 in Granville. Senior catcher Jett Wedekind delivered a opposite field, walk-off game-winner.

Tigers From Page 11 “For a freshman to come through against the ace of their staff is good.

If you put it in play good things will happen,” PC coach Chris Newsome said. “We had way too many strike outs, but for him to come through and get that run it was nice to see. I thought we had the momentum, but the cards didn’t fall our way the next inning.”

PC backed the Tigers into a corner twice early on in the game, loading the bases in the second and third innings before senior starting pitcher Tanner Kuhne got Panther batters to ground into back-to-back innings ending 5-2-3 double plays.

“We didn’t play our best today. Everybody knows that, we know that and I don’t think the best team won, and they did a good job of taking advantage of the mistakes and errors we made,” Newsome said. “It’s not like us to be doing that. Baseball is a funny game and anything can happen.”

While the offense wasn’t exactly clicking for the Panthers, it did just enough throughout the game to keep themselves within striking distance.

But the Tigers wouldn’t

Hall 5, Mendota 3: Hall plated two runs in each of the game’s first two innings against the Trojans, taking a 4-0 lead.

Mendota pulled to within 4-3 of the Red Devils in the top of the sixth inning, but Hall scored another run in the bottom of that sixth frame to claim the 5-3 win. Starter Merkel (7 strikeouts, 3 hits) went six innings for the win with Sangston coming on in the seventh for the save.

Rybarczyk and Sangston each had two hits and a RBI for the Red Devils and Merkel drove in two runs.

Mendota had previously defeated both Hall and Princeton.

Princeton 4, Hall 0: The Tigers rode the arm of sophomore right-hander Josh Reinhardt to the pool clincher in Friday’s nightcap under the lights at Kirby Park’s Foley Field. He allowed just two hits and a walk with two strikeouts.

Levi Bates stroked a two-run double to deep left to give the Tigers an early lead. Bates plated another run with a fielder’s choice in the second.

Skye Behrends’ RBI single in the seventh made it 4-0.

Because of its distinctive features and its status as endangered, the giant panda was chosen by the world’s largest conservation organization as a symbol of conservation.

© 2016 by Vicki Whiting, Editor Jeff Schinkel, Graphics Vol. 32, No. 20

What’s black and white and loved by kids all over the world? Pandas, of course!

Read on to learn about these gentle creatures.

3 Can you imagine a world without pandas?

Only about 1,800 giant pandas live in the wild today. They are in danger of becoming extinct—gone forever.

3

Giant pandas live in the Sichuan mountains of southwest China, where they feed on bamboo.

7

Giant pandas need to eat a lot of food every day. They eat day and night, constantly wandering through the forest eating and eating. Add up the numbers along the correct path of the maze to find out how many pounds of food one giant panda can eat in a day.

4

Scientists debated this for years. About 20 years ago, a group of experts determined that giant pandas are most closely related to bears, Panda although they are also a eye lot like raccoons.

Pandas are losing their habitat. Giant pandas need forests with lots of bamboo to survive.

These forests are rapidly disappearing as humans use them to meet their needs.

Standards Link: Life Science: Students know changes in the environment can be detrimental to organisms.

The Chinese call the panda “Da xiong mao,” which means “giant bear cat.”

Pandas are different from Bear other bears. For one thing, eye they have eyes like a cat.

And their front paws have an unusual thumb—sometimes called a false thumb. This is not actually a thumb, like a human thumb. It is a part of the wrist bone that sticks out to the side like an extra finger.

3

5 While bamboo makes up most of a giant panda’s diet, pandas sometimes eat small animals.

Because of this small amount of meat eating, giant pandas are classified as carnivores.

4 8

Standards Link: Number Sense: Calculate sums to 30.

The largest giant pandas can grow to be about 250 pounds. Ask five friends how much they weigh.

Add up their weights. Does it equal 250 pounds?

Baby pandas are itty-bitty bears. They weigh only 4 to 6 ounces at birth (114-170 grams).

Number the pandas in order from smallest to biggest.

A mother panda is about 800 times heavier than her baby. (If a human mother with a 7-pound baby weighed 800 times more, she would weigh 5,600 pounds. That’s nearly 3 tons!)

Standards Link: Life Science: Students know there is a variation among individuals of one kind within a population.
