Hall still kicking soccer around Board hears financial update

By Becky Kramer news@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Soccer is one kick closer to being a reality at Hall High School.

At last month’s meeting, the Hall High School Board agreed to look into starting a soccer pro-

gram again. The issue was revisited at this month’s Hall Board meeting, held Wednesday, June 15.

Assistant Principal Eric Bryant talked to DePue School concerning a cooperative agreement in regards to boys’ and girls’ soccer. The agreement was going to be

discussed at the DePue Board of Education meeting Wednesday, June 15.

By adding Hall students, DePue would be able to have a junior varsity and varsity team.

Soccer is expected to be on the agenda again at next month’s meeting.

Hall Superintendent Mike Struna also updated the board on the current budget crisis during

Wednesday night’s meeting. Struna is projecting Hall will be $470,138 in the red by the end of July.

“We’ll get through July by using our line of credit and be ready to go when school starts” Struna said.

The district’s line of credit was obtained through Spring Valley City Bank to cover the July deficit. The money received from the line of credit will

not affect local taxes. The district is only borrowing the money until property tax money arrives at the end of July.

With no state budget or state funding being released to school districts, Hall would be in the red again by December.

Struna said Gov. Bruce Rauner held a press conference on Wednesday, June 15. Rauner still wants

$6,119 per student which would fully fund education. During the past few years schools only received a portion of the $6,119 that was promised.

If Rauner’s bill passes, Hall would gain approximately $100,000 due to increased enrollment with no school in the state losing money under this plan.

Taking care of business at SVE Hermes reviews fund balances

By Becky Kramer news@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — The Spring Valley Elementary (SVE) Board met in regular session Wednesday, June 15, and held a brief public hearing to approve the use of resealing the south blacktop and bus dropoff area using life safety money. The board approved spending between $6,000 to $8,000.

In financial matters, SVE Superintendent Jim Hermes updated the board on the current and projected fund balances.

The transportation fund will be the only area in the red in July. Hermes is projecting a $20,000 deficit in that fund.

Ninety-seven percent of revenues have been received to date. State money is continuing to come in certain

areas. The concern is entering into the next fiscal year with no state budget. Hermes explained that SVE is in better shape than most area schools.

Hermes is hoping to refinance bonds to get a better rate. Hermes said, “It my intention to get the best bang for the dollar.”

Director of Curriculum Michelle Nauman said teachers will meet on Aug. 16 for professional development.

Nauman discussed the professional development calendar for the upcoming school year and said, “It should be a great year.”

Principal Kimberly Lisanby-Barber gave the principal’s report. The board received an update on the class sizes for the upcoming school year. The projected amount of students

LAMOILLE — At the LaMoille Community Unit School District Board meeting, held Thursday, June 16, the board looked at a number of suggested changes to the intergovernmental agreement in regards to sports between the LaMoille and Ohio districts, but ultimately decided to leave the contract as is.

One of the larger points of interest in these requests was the number of games Ohio would host.

Brent Ziegler explained the number of games Ohio hosts is based on the number of participants they, as the smaller school, have. In the list of suggested revisions to the intergovernmental agreement, Ohio requested, in the event of six players, to host three of the home games.

There were a couple issues with accepting this request, as Ziegler noted. One was the logistics issue of splitting the games, especially with the split between conference and

A Mile In My Shoes Assisting our elders Karen Huskey’s goal is informing seniors of their best financial options

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

Editors note: The following story is one in an ongoing series about area residents and the jobs they perform.

PRINCETON — In a culture that often overlooks the elderly and their basic needs, seniors need the gatekeepers who are constantly establishing their security and providing for a comfortable twilight that ices the cake of a long and enjoyable life. In that regard, Karen Huskey leads the charge in Bureau County.

Huskey, the information and assistance coordinator at the Bureau County Senior Center (BCSC), was working at Valley Forms a few decades back when someone asked her to consider working at the BCSC. She decided the move made sense, and would pick up seniors at their homes and chauffeur them to and from the doctor’s office the first 10 years on the job. Then Medicare became a reality, and someone needed to take the reigns from the beginning.

“It’s like having a baby and knowing everything about the baby as it grows,” Huskey said, speaking about assisting older county residents with their Medicare since its inception. “I work with all of Bureau County, and even have people from other counties come to me for help.”

Once you turn 65, agencies looking to invest your money — some might even call it theft — will bury you with Social Security mail falsely claiming an abundance of financial opportunities. One of Karen’s many responsibilities is to sort through the mail and decipher

what is legitimate, if any. Another responsibility is to keep track of medical plans that change on a yearly basis for thousands of county residents.

“Every year from Aug. 15 to Dec. 7, we can change Medicare D plans,” she said, stating there are about 30 plans to choose from, and she has the task of finding the cheapest and avoiding the most expensive. “The difference between the cheapest and most expensive plan is thousands of dollars.”

There are inhalers that cost $800 a month. Huskey assisted one woman who would have been paying $35,000 per year for medicine she needed … and Huskey trimmed that number to $1,600 per year. Just because a plan works this year, does not mean it will be suitable next year.

“Medicine has gotten so expensive over the years that it’s hard for the elderly to afford. The best thing you can have is the extra federal help, but you’re income has to be under $17,000 for one person for that,” Huskey said, stating doctors and lawyers come to her asking for advice on their parents, and every pharmacy in the area has Huskey on speed dial.

Huskey said there is a lot of greed in the Medicare field, as the lobbyists are mostly pharmaceutical companies. She heard of the CEO of a drug company driving the price of a drug from $150 a month to $7,000 a month because cancer patients “had to have it.” She said it’s sad what some rich folk will do to get richer, yet rarely provide resources or solutions for those less fortunate.

Karen Huskey raised up two strong men — a Marine and a mechanic — teaching them the value of kindness and affection when dealing with others, and said the most enjoyable aspect of her job is sitting and eating lunch with the seniors, talking with them and learning about their lives. She always looks to provide them with affordable care, which is more than can be said for the state of Illinois.

“We haven’t gotten any funding since April 2015, and it’s a disgrace to not support the seniors in this state,” she said, adding she doesn’t understand the amount of laziness rampant throughout the welfare system.

“I’ve been working since I was

11, so if I lose my job, I just go get another one.”

Huskey said everyone at the senior center is a humanitarian, and they collectively visit their elder’s homes to find people who might be afforded some quality assistance with their financial decisions. She studied college courses about Alzheimer’s and other diseases to further assist her Bureau County companions, as it’s tough to hear of abusive family situations involving someone who does not have the same means of their youth.

Huskey even went through brain surgery to clear up nerve problems, but her boss joked “they didn’t take anything out

that helps Karen do her job.”

Despite the frustrations she faces in her profession, Huskey pushes forward happily by helping her elders properly enjoy the latter stages of a quality life.

“I get to help people every day, and I love it,” she said. “If something isn’t working right, I feel it’s my job to dig into it and see what I can do about it.”

‘Feel Your Best’ at Women in Business Event is set for Thursday, June 23

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Don’t we all strive to feel our best? Of course we do. That’s why the Princeton Chamber of Commerce has devoted its Thursday, June 23, Women in Business luncheon to helping area women achieve that goal.

Titled, “Feel Your Best,” guest speaker Dr. Ralph Narinedhat, MD, FACOG, will speak to event-goers on the topics of stress and overall health. Narinedhat is affiliated

with obstetrics and gynecology at St. Margaret’s Center for Family Health in Princeton. A dietitian will also speak at the event.

Women in Business is an extension of the Princeton Chamber of Commerce and was developed to provide working women with information and resources to inspire and empower women in all aspects of their lives and professional careers. In addition, Women in Business offers an avenue for women to expand their network to include other influential business women in the area.

This is the first Women in Business event of 2016, with other Women in Business dates being planned every other month.

For this first event of the year, the onehour program includes lunch and door prizes. Doors open at 11:30 a.m., and lunch begins promptly at noon. The event is meant to fit into one’s lunch hour, so everyone should be headed back to work by 1 p.m.

“Feel Your Best” will be held at Chapel Hill Golf Course and Event Center in rural Princeton.

The event is open to the public. You do not have to be a member of the Chamber to attend. Tickets are $15, which includes the lunch.

Tickets must be purchased in advance in order to have adequate food prepared.

Tickets can be bought at the Princeton Chamber of Commerce in the Prouty Building or you can call the Chamber at 815-875-2616 to reserve your ticket and pick them up the day of the event.

Feeling the ‘Byrne’ of summer Local weather observer discusses early summer weather eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Bob Byrne, a member of the Cooperative Observer Program (COOP) with the National Weather Service Quad Cities, gave updates on the downpour experienced Tuesday, June 14.

Byrne said the accumulated rainfall rolling over from Monday, June 13, amounted to .58 inches by 7 a.m. Tuesday, and by 7 a.m. Wednesday, June 15, the reported rainfall was 2.56 inches — resulting in a two-day total of 3.14 inches.

Byrne affirmed the area’s need for the rainfall, noting he didn’t measure more than two-tenths of an inch of rainfall on any given day between May 14 and June 14. Between that time, Byrne said Bureau County might have gotten half an inch total … so it welcomed a little over three inches in 48 hours.

Hall Board From Page 1 In other business, Principal Jesse Brandt reviewed the changes to the student handbook. This was the second reading. One major change only allows students a maximum of three excused absences a year for family vacations. Also, parents will be required to show proof of residency upon registration. The changes were approved unanimously.

Changes were also approved to the Extracurricular Code of Handbook.

Orientation days have seen set. Freshmen will be meeting on Aug. 10 for four hours.

Freshmen will have a class meeting, get their lockers, and will have school pictures taken.

Sophomores, juniors and seniors will each meet for an hour and a half on Aug. 11.

Aug. 17 is the first attendance day for students.

The board also: • Learned athletic and activity registration

“I put pumpkin seeds in the ground three weeks ago, and I went and dug around for them recently, and they were still just sitting in the soil,” Byrne said, noting a recent measure of the moisture content in the soil resulted in the top 3 inches feeling dry and powdery.

“It’s tough to say, but they’re predicting another shot of rain Monday (June 20) or Tuesday (June 21).”

As far as the summer heat goes, Byrne said the temperature has been higher than normal, but it hasn’t broken any records.

“The normal temperature for this time of the year is 83 or 84, but we’ve been up in the 90s,” he said, adding it’s interesting we skipped right over spring. “The first two weeks of May were cold, and then right after, it got hot and dry.”

Sports From Page 1 non-conference games and the requirements which occur there.

“On a great year, you have eight home games and eight away games between conference and non-conference,” Ziegler said.

“We can’t create more games,” he said. “There are only so many games per year.”

The other reason was the one most cited when it came time to make the decision: The agreement is already set in place.

“We’ve already sent down our intergovernmental agreement, and it’s been approved by IHSA,” Ziegler said.

Superintendent Ricardo Espinoza explained his role in these proceedings was to provide advice if applicable, and it is up to the board to make the decision.

“We shoulder the financial responsibility on this,” Espinoza said.

“You’re in the driver’s seat, is what I’m saying.”

Board member Larry Forristall

voiced what the board would ultimately decide.

“Why would we change the contract? It’s signed and dry,” he said.

“It’s already approved by IHSA. They’d think we’re nuts.”

In other discussion, Espinoza spoke briefly about Gov. Bruce Rauner’s visit with area superintendents.

“He actually came to Ottawa to the city hall, but they had to change the venue because there were so many protesters,” Espinoza said.

It seems a potentially enlightening experience for both sides ended in dissatisfaction. Espinoza said he and other attendees had been expecting a conversation or dialogue and were disappointed to sit in during a speech instead.

“It was not a good meeting,” he said. “We were disappointed.”

However, he did note Rauner came over to talk to him, and he used the opportunity to talk about a fund the district has had difficulties obtaining.

Meeting Minutes Sheffield Village Board

.

SHEFFIELD — The Sheffield Village Board met in regular session June 6 at the Sheffield Community Center.

Mayor Bill Rosenow called the meeting to order with the pledge of allegiance. In order to make a quorum the mayor was called on to vote.

Bills totaling $20,670.31 were paid. A motion was passed to move forward with the building of a restroom facility at Veteran’s/School Park with the enlistment of volunteers to do most work and then contract out the remaining work. Trustee Osborn is to oversee the project.

The board heard from a resident regarding a town drain that bubbles up for days after a rain. Part of the problem is roots from a tree on the property are plugging the drain. The town will look into possibly re-routing that tile into a different tile.

The inspection on the water tower will begin on Tuesday, June 14, at which time the village will be under a boil order for about 24 hours. Notification will be posted at the downtown businesses and on WZOE and WKEI. In other business, the village is seeking bids to cut down four trees on village right of ways. The board approve the purchase four new trash receptacles for Main Street. Rosenow commended the village employees on the great job they did on the cemetery as it looked very nice for Memorial Day. The board decided not to hire another part-time summer employee at this time. The board heard that there were complaints regarding the noise some motorcycles were making as they leave town.

The next regular board meeting will be at 7 p.m.

Mending broken fences I’ve been struggling with the best way to approach Father’s Day in this column. I’ve been in a tailspin all week long, attempting to put into words something memorable for this important holiday.

Why the struggle? I think it’s Terri because I grew up without the influSimon ence of my own COMMENTARY father. Plain and simple, he chose not to be in the picture. He was absent. A picture-perfect example of a deadbeat dad. The very little I knew about him wasn’t even enough to formulate what a real father was supposed to be like.

While I was blessed with a mother and grandparents who attempted to fill the void, the absent father syndrome created all kinds of havoc for me — primarily in my own head, ultimately in my heart. When I was younger, it was at a place in time when my fatherless world clearly put me in the minority, and bottom line, even though I was a child, I was embarrassed not to be like all my friends who had two parents — a Mom and Dad. That embarrassment turned into a huge chip on my shoulder as I grew older. I often pictured this fellow — one who I really didn’t know — going about his life without me ... wondering if it bothered him as much as it did me. Clearly it didn’t, but I almost yearned for him to be as miserable as I was about the situation — that eye-for-an-eye thinking that really didn’t get me anywhere.

Fast forward to today ... My father has since died, and he did so without one word of any explanation to me about why he chose (and it was a choice) to ignore me. The difference today, though, is that I’m no longer angry, hurt or mystified by his actions. Instead, I’ve come to accept it, and quite frankly, it’s only around Father’s Day when I actually think of him and what he stole from me ... and how it silently affected me for way too many years.

But basically, I’m over it. I’ve forgiven him. I’ve moved forward, reminding myself that looking backward only creates chaos in my head/heart.

I’ve learned now that even though his absence in my life hurt me deeply, I was far better off without his influence than I would have been with it. It took a long time for me to figure that out. I’m glad I did because it actually released me from much turmoil, self-doubt, self-blame and more.

So what’s my point? Today, a child who doesn’t have the influence of their father probably isn’t in the minority anymore. Whether you are a child or an adult who never had the influence of your biological father, my advice to you is that the pain will ease over time ... and once you embrace yourself as the wonderful person you are, the concept of no biological father becomes less important as the days go by.

I guess my words today aren’t for those great fathers — and there are plenty of them, by the way — who lovingly take care of their children. They talk with them even if they are no longer with the child’s mom. They remember their birthdays.

They are truly interested in their child and the lives they lead. Instead, these words are for those dads out there who for whatever reason, have made the conscious decision to ignore their child.

My advice — take it or leave it — is that it’s never too late to develop a relationship. Even if your child is too hurt to acknowledge you right now, I guarantee there will come a time when your attempt to mend those broken fences will mean the world to them. Don’t wait. Do it today. I really think you’ll be glad you did. The same words go for the moms in the world who aren’t in their child’s life too.

And to those guys out there who do their best to be a good dad, words cannot express how much I respect you. Everybody needs their dad. You don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. Your impact will still be felt. I guarantee it.

Happy Father’s Day to all men who make a difference in the lives of children.

Essentially ... I’m oily Greg Wallace COMMENTARY My wife is a hippie. I always kind of suspicioned it. She doesn’t like to wear socks or shoes. That’s a dead giveaway to the hippie culture.

Her hippiness was confirmed last week. We were on our way back from a two-hour trip to see our son, and sitting in the hot, sunny passenger seat of our car, I developed a headache. I get migraine headaches every now and then, and this particular headache had all the makings of a real doozy. I had taken aspirin a couple of times that afternoon and nothing was working.

The hippie told me she had something that she wanted me to try. As I looked at her with trepidation, she asked my daughter to dig around in her purse and retrieve some magical ointment that would be the cure to whatever ails me. I wasn’t convinced. I’ve seen Cheech and Chong movies.

Hippies are famous for potions and elixirs and other kinds of “natural” home remedies. She told me what the name of this stuff was. It was something like Essentially Oily or Smelly Juice or something like that. I’m not exactly doing a commercial for the stuff, so I don’t really care.

She told me the substance had a delightful peppermint smell, and that if I rubbed it on my temples, something about the scent combined with the saturation of the oil, I would soon begin to relax and my migraine would just melt away. I was desperate, so I listened to the long-haired flower child.

I proceeded to dump some of the liquid into my hand and splash it up by what I thought were my temples. She then told me that only a drop on your finger was sufficient and that I really shouldn’t get it too close to my eyeballs. I looked over at the hippie with my blinking, watering eye sockets that were apparently on fire. The burning sensation kind of took my mind off of the headache.

As I scraped off the excess oil that was now streaming down the sides of my cheeks along with my salty tears of pain, the hippie told me not to worry because the delicate, soft, soothing scent of peppermint would soon waft

past my nostrils, and my tensions would disappear. I looked toward her shadowy visage with blurry, double-vision and said, “I hope so because it smells like one of Santa’s elves exploded in here.”

The peppermint odor seemed a little overpowering to me. But I decided to listen to Cheech, and I sat back in the passenger seat, closed my swollen-shut eyes, and let that scent take me away.

As the narcotics took affect, I began to have flashbacks of a simpler, more joyous time. The smell took me back to my youth, more specifically, to my second-grade year in elementary school. I dreamed that I was in the school gym.

It was the day after my birthday and my P.E. class was playing Red Rover.

As I was running and playing with all my old friends, a strange feeling came over me.

It was then that I realized why this peppermint smell was taking me back to that particular day. You see, I got sick all over that gym floor that second-grade morning, right out there in front of all my friends. I can still picture the school janitor, Mr. Hobbs, walking into the gymnasium and sprinkling this magical powder over the mess that I had created. It came in a plastic, screw-top jar. It’s absorbent contents smelled just like — you guessed it — peppermint. The same peppermint smell that I had smeared all over my face some 40 years later in the front seat of our car. Mr. Hobbs didn’t seem like a hippie at the time.

On that memorable day, I can still picture the P.E. teacher, Mrs. Meyer, walking me back to my classroom where I sat with my second-grade

teacher, Mrs. Linden. We sat there and she was helping me clean myself up, and I was beginning to feel quite a bit better. We talked about my birthday party, which had taken place just the day before. I was feeling pretty good.

I can remember Mr. Hobbs even came down to the room to check on how I was doing. In retrospect, that was a pretty nice thing to do. I guess that hippies are usually cordial.

He asked me if I felt better. I nodded my head and told him thank you for cleaning up my mess. He told me not to worry about it, and then he made some off-hand comment about how I must have eaten a lot of cake at my birthday party. He said he could tell it was chocolate cake. Well, apparently that brought back some memories too because at that thought, I got sick again. I wonder if Mr. Hobbs kept those shoes or just threw them away? Oh well, like I said earlier, hippies like to be barefoot.

As I sat there in that car that day with my head leaning against the window, my eyes all red, smelling like a candy cane, I couldn’t help but smile. I was thinking back to all those teachers and janitors and my friends running around in that grade school gym.

Those were good times. Even with all of the minty-smelling vomit. I felt a little better.

So in a way, I guess the hippie remedy did work. I just hope I’m not hooked on the stuff. I don’t think my eyes could take it.

A Father’s Day reflection

Oct. 15th was my dad’s birthday. It was a bittersweet event for me. I spent the evening talking to him and relating to him, but I couldn’t help shake the guilt of having him in my life. My best friend lost her dad unexpectedly several years earlier on my dad’s birthday. He was returning from Bejing and didn’t even get the chance to exit his plane due to a fatal heart attack.

Erica shared a rich childhood with her dad. They had a close relationship, and even when the miles and circumstances kept them apart, she felt loved and adored. Her dad made sure she had everything she needed, and not just financially. She was his little princess, and I don’t think she ever doubted that for a second.

I did not share that kind of relationship with my dad. We constantly butted heads, and though we shared a poignant moment here and there, our similarities caused us to fight all of the time. We were both hard-headed, stubborn and opinionated. There were times we went years without talking. I blamed him. He blamed me. Mom was constantly being a referee. I’m surprised the poor woman wasn’t required to wear stripes and have a whistle around her neck.

I learned much from my dad. He taught me about hard work ... I thought I was a slave. He taught me about going

Lori Boekeloo COMMENTARY the extra mile ... I thought he pushed me too hard. He taught me there were no excuses ... I thought I had no way out. He did the best he could with what he knew and what he had to work with (especially with me as a daughter).

I also had this kind of relationship with God. I didn’t like to listen to Him. He was a part of my life, but not daily. I saw Him on occasion (usually Sunday mornings if I felt like it). I fought with Him. He loved me, but He couldn’t make me do what He wanted me to do.

I was willful and wanted my own way.

I walked away from Him. I shouted at Him. I didn’t feel loved because I was being unlovable. He did the best He could with what He had to work with in me.

When I got to college age, I couldn’t take it any more, and I moved out. I went away to college to escape from my dad. Don’t get me wrong, I knew he loved me, but we sure didn’t like one another. I didn’t think he was much of a Dad, and I constantly disappointed him as a daughter. I didn’t think I could ever live up to his expectations. I didn’t

think I could ever be the skinny, beautiful daughter he had hoped for. I made some bad choices, and I thought he hated me for it.

Eventually I moved back to my hometown, and it took about another 10 years before I started feeling worthy. As my relationship with my Father improved, so did the one with my dad. As I felt the grace of God enter my life, I also felt the grace of my daddy. As I spent more time in prayer, so I spent more time conversing with my dad. Once I saw myself as beautiful and successful and worthy in God’s eyes, I began to see that reflection in all of my relationships, but the most noticeable was the one I shared with the original man in my life.

No sweeter words were spoken than “I love you” coming from my dad’s lips, and actually believing them. Do I love him? I always have. Does he know it? Now he does. Does he love me? He always has. Do I know it? Now I do.

The same can be said for my relationship with God, my heavenly Father.

When I pray and hear the words “I love you,” they couldn’t be sweeter. Do I love Him? I always have. Does He know it?

Now He does.

Stegmann initiated into honor society BATON ROUGE, La. — Kristin Stegmann of Princeton was recently initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines.

Stegmann was initiated at Northern Illinois University.

Stegmann is among approximately 30,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year.

Membership is by invitation and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of

juniors, having at least 72 semester hours, are eligible for membership.

Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction.

Photos by You Doris Streit of Princeton submitted this photo she took of a tom turkey looking in on her. He was on her back patio looking in the sliding door window. He stayed around for about an hour. A female was picking around the bird and squirrel feeders. The turkeys were not shy being so close to the house, so she assumed they are probably around more than what she sees.

2016 Hay and Forage Expo to focus on education The Hay and Forage Expo returns to Central Iowa for the 30th annual event.

The show is scheduled for June 22-23 at the Central Iowa Expo facility located just east of Boone, Iowa. The Central Iowa Expo site is also the host for the 2016 Farm Progress Show which will be held in late August.

The Hay and Forage Expo has always been known as the best place to see the latest hay and forage equipment, and an expanded list of programs has been added to the agenda for this year’s show.

“Farmers who attend the Hay and Forage Expo love the demonstrations and enjoy watching the equipment in action. We wanted to expand on that and offer educational programs as well,” said Matt Jungmann, events manager for Penton Agriculture. “Two of our education programs are hot topics in agriculture, drones and the weather. Producers want to use drones to improve field scouting, and we want to help them understand the regulations and restrictions of this type of technology. And weather is always a crucial subject for farmers, and they want to learn about weather trends and how they will affect the growing season.

“Another program we are excited to offer this year is a hay auction,” said Jungmann. Scheduled for Wednesday only, the hay auction will be conducted by the American Ag Video Auction.

All presentations will be held at the show site in the Morton Building located at Sixth Street and Central Avenue.

Educational program and auction

schedule 11:15 a.m. - Weather Outlook for Crops 2016 and Beyond presented

by Prof. S. Elwynn Taylor, Iowa State University. A very strong El Nino that reminds us of 1983 and 1988 has folks in the Corn Belt a bit on edge in 2016. But, the El Nino event of 1998 was a “good” crop event. Weather records and forecasts are giving us ever-better ways to anticipate how our crops will turn out.

12:15 p.m. – The Future of Commercial Drone Operations presented

by Philip A. K. Stiles, Esq. The use of drones in the agriculture industry has exploded over the last five years. Now with the FAA catching up on regulating drone use, Stiles will explain current regulations, what you need to know if you are using a drone service or flying your own drone and talk about the future of drone use in the ag industry.

3 p.m. – Hay Auction – Wednesday only. Conducted by American Ag Video Auction. American Ag Video Auction is an online hay marketing company that streams live, real-time auctions. Auction personnel go to a producer’s farm or ranch, video and test hay, and then market it by utilizing the live real-time video auction platform. American Ag Video Auction is committed to building lasting relationships with their buyers and sellers. They provide an innovative and professional way to market hay, while expanding and creating market opportunities worldwide.

New products and equipment Sponsored by Penton Agriculture’s

local farm publications, The Farmer, Wisconsin Agriculturist and Wallaces Farmer, the Hay and Forage Expo provides easy access to the new hay and forage technology with an extensive exhibit area and working field demonstrations conducted throughout each show day.

The two-day hay extravaganza showcases mowing, conditioning, baling and hay handling demonstrations on prime alfalfa acres. Visitors have multiple opportunities to compare the most popular equipment brands operating side by side under actual field conditions.

A 10-acre exhibit field highlights displays from the major and shortline specialty manufacturers with a focus on products aimed at boosting the efficiency and profitability of hay and forage productions. The Hay and Forage Expo is a one-stop shopping and learning venue for hay and forage producers. Visitors can examine the latest balers, forage choppers, disk mower conditioners, tedders, rakes, mergers, bale carriers, forage seed and more hay production products.

Make plans to attend The 30th annual Hay and Forage Expo will be held June 22-23, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Central Iowa Expo facility near Boone, Iowa. The site is located west of Interstate 35 on Highway 30; the show’s website features a map and detailed driving directions. Admission is free; parking is $10 per vehicle. For more information, visit HayExpo.com or call 866- 264-7469. The public is welcome.

2016 BCR Girls Track and Field Honor Roll Team

Speed to burn

Tanja Acamovic (Hall/Sr.)

The Hall senior saved her best for last, qualifying for state in the 300 low hurdles. She paced the Honor Roll with a time of 49.11.

Saige Barnett (Bureau Valley/Fr.)

What a debut the Storm freshman had this spring.

Barnett qualified for state in both weights at state, topping the Honor Rolls with throws of 39-3 3/4 in shot put and 107-9 in discus.

Kaelyn Hamalle (Hall/So.)

The sophomore standout made the medal podium with a ninth-place finish in the 400 dash, leading all area sprinters with a time of 1:00.57. She also topped the Honor Roll with a triple jump of 35-5.

Erin Hosto (Amboy/LaMoille/Sr.)

The junior from LaMoille qualified for state in the 800 meters by winning the Bureu Valley Sectional with a BCR best time of 2:25.35. She also broke a longtime LaMoille school record in the 1600 with a time of 5:42.39.

Addison Moreland (Bureau Valley/So.)

The Storm sophomore made state for the first time, advancing in the triple jump. She had a season’s best 34-0, second only to Hall’s Hamale. Moreland also made state as a member of BV’s 4x100.

Erika Zimmerlein

Erika Zimmerlein of LaMoille High School ran down three state medals in the IHSA 1A state finals in 100 dash, the 200 dash and the 4x200 relay.

Postula represented St. Bede Academy at state in the high jump. She was the lone area jumper to top 5 feet, going 5-2. She was also ranked among the top area hurdlers.

Zimmerlein following family footsteps, only much faster

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

LAMOILLE — Running is a family tradition in the Zimmerlein household and daughter Erika has continued that fine tradition, albeit at her own pace.

Howard and Lisa Zimmerlein know the difficulties that come with being runners, and that connection with their daughter gave an extra boost of confidence to the recently crowned state medalist throughout her career.

“Both of my parents were in track and they, along with all of my other family members, have always been my biggest supporters throughout my track career,” Zimmerlein said.

“My parents ran distance and distance running and sprinting are

The Zimmerlein File: • Three state medals this year • Placed fifth in the 200 • Placed fifth in the 4x200 • Place sixth in the 100 • Honor Roll leader (100, 200, 4x200) completely different so it’s new and exciting for them, but we still have that connection of being runners.”

That connection helped steer Zimmerlein to three state medals this spring. For her success at the state level, Zimmerlein is the 2016 BCR Track and Field Female Athlete of the Year. She is the first LaMoille athlete to receive this honor in the 30-year history of the award.

er and LaMoille native followed in her parents footsteps as she opted for track her sophomore year, but the late bloomer would delay her sprinting talents at first. She originally only had eyes for the high jump, and had no ambitions of sprinting.

“It worked out for me that my coach saw something in myself and pushed me to be a sprinter,” Zimmerlein said. “When I’m sprinting, I can clear my head and just focus on the moment and on running.”

It also worked out for three other A/L sprinters as they became a unit with Zimmerlein, a second driving force that she also credits with her success.

Madi Quinn (Hall/Jr.)

While the state meet did not go as Quinn would have liked, she still had a banner season. She reset her own school record in the pole vault at 11-3, and qualified for the state finals. She also made state in the 100 LH in which she topped the Honor Roll (16.12).

Erika Zimmerlein (AL/Sr.)

What a way to go out for the LaMoille senior. She landed three state medals, finishing fifth in the 200 dash and 4x200 relay and sixth in the 100 dash. She had the top times in both sprints, including a school record in the 100 (12.44) and a Bureau County record in the 200 (25.47).

Hailey Schultz (Princeton/Sr.)

After three years in softball, the PHS senior made a triumphant return to track and field. She qualified for the IHSA 2A state meet in the long jump, finishing with a BCR best mark of 17-0 1/4.

an from Amboy and Kaitlin Boers of LaMoille played major roles in pushing Zimmerlein as the trio always pushed the anchor of their fifthplace state 4X200 relay harder by continuing to improve themselves.

Zimmerlein showered praise on her teammates for their work ethic, friendship and their abilities to push her to work harder and become one of the premier sprinters in the state at 1A. She ran down a fifth-place state medal in the 200 dash (25.6) and a sixth-place finish in the 100 dash (12.56).

“I always had someone pushing me and as our relay team got faster, I got faster and that played a major role in how well I ran at the end of the year,” Zimmerlein said. “It’s always sweeter to be able to share success with friends and family because they are the ones who either supported or pushed me to be better today than I was yesterday.”

Although there were times of doubt throughout her career and senior year, Zimmerlein credits her parents with filling in the gaps of her confidence, as

ified for state and led the Honor Roll with a time of 50.80.

• Amboy/LaMoille 4x200: With the same crew as its 4x100, Amboy gained a state medal with a fifthplace effort of 1:46.06.

• BV4x100: Moreland teamed up with freshman Marissa Endress and juniors Tianna Kennedy and Marissa Mungia to qualify for state, turning in a time of 51.89.

• Amboy/LaMoille 4x400: Boers and Corcoran ran with Hosto and junior Maddie Foster to clock the Honor Roll top time of 4:16.82 • Amboy/LaMoille 4x800: The Hall crew of Kaylee Olivares, Jenna Parente, Lindsey Conrad and Amelia Moreno turned in the top time of 10:43.84.

• A picture of Amboy’s Maddie Foster was not available.

the ever supporting duo’s confidence never wavered in their daughter.

“They don’t have to tell me much besides I should already know what I need to do or they just have the right words of encouragement for me on a particular day,” Zimmerlein said.

“They already have confidence in me when I don’t have confidence in myself, and that gives me strength.”

Although this chapter of sprinting is coming to a close, Zimmerlein has not closed the book completely. The highly decorated athlete will keep her options open in the future as she hasn’t completely ruled out a possible return to the track her sophomore year of college.

“I won’t be running next year, but I definitely haven’t ruled outrunning again as a sophomore,” Zimmerlein said. “The feeling of having nothing to do but run and compete motivates me. When I run I feel free and I have nothing on my mind but sprinting.

It’s not like other sports where there is always a decision to make. There is no decision to make besides running and I absolutely love that feeling.”

Hall/DePue explore soccer co-op khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Hall is looking to get back into the game for soccer.

Hall school officials are exploring a possible co-op with neighbor DePue, which already fields boys and girls programs.

Hall previously fielded a girls soccer program, but dropped it due to lack of numbers.

Both school boards had discussions in meetings Wednesday, June 15. Hall athletic director Eric Bryant Jr. said Friday morning he not heard back from DePue. • Lion in waiting: LaMoille/Ohio still

has a vacancy for a varsity boys basketball coach. LaMoille AD Brent Ziegler said Friday he continues the search, but he has one potential candidate emerging.

Ziegler did land an assistant coach for the girls basketball program. Melissa Wilson, wife of new varsity girls basketball hire Bobby Wilson, has been hired to work with her husband for the upcoming season.

Bobby Wilson, the former assistant, was named head coach when Holli Rapp resigned the morning after the past season concluded.

A stress-free wedding day?

Beauty from Ashes makes it happen

By Terri Simon Shaw Media Service

PRINCETON/BRADFORD — To most, it might look like a pile of rubbish — thrown-away items that have no appeal.

But if you’ve ever met Jacqui Grant of Bradford, you’ve come to know a lady who looks at others’ trash as treasures. And ironically enough, that type of thinking is the same way Grant looks at life and everyone she encounters.

Self-described as a wedding coordinator, Grant’s mission is to offer brides, grooms and their families an opportunity to leave the stress of creating a perfect and memorable wedding behind; instead, Grant takes the soon-to-be-married couple’s vision to heart and ultimately helps them create a personalized day that will be cherished and remembered.

“Whatever they want to do is great with me. There are lots of spins on what you can do. It’s so much fun. I love to create.”

Beauty from Ashes Owner Jacqui Grant Grant’s workshop is filled with a variety of re-purposed items that can be customized to every bride’s perfect day. Whether a traditional or non-traditional wedding is chosen, Grant has a plethora of experience with all types of special events. Perhaps the bride and groom want a shabby/ chic event, a day filled with wood and lace, a champagne elegance ceremony

and reception, or a down-home feel to the day; either way, Grant’s mission is to focus on the bride and groom and their specific wishes.

“Whatever they want to do is great with me,” Grant said from her Princeton workshop. “There are lots of spins on what you can do. It’s so much fun. I love to create. I love to mess.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime event. It shouldn’t be stressful; it should be a joy,” Grant said. “I want them to find joy in the journey.

“Brides are looking for someone to help them pull it all together. I kind of have a heart for people. I’ve always been honored by giving,” Grant said.

Grant said she often thinks the true essence of a wedding has been lost. Instead of two people celebrating their love before God, family and friends, the focus has shifted to creating a wedding day ultimately filled with stress and worries about pulling it all off. Grant hopes to alleviate that stress.

Grant’s husband of 30 years echoes his wife’s sentiments.

“Jacqui helps bring peace to the bride,” Jimmy Grant said. “She allows the bride to focus on the marriage and forget about all the decor and other things ... She helps bring back the focus of what it was supposed to be.”

Along with her design partner, Sarah Over, Grant offers brides a free consultation to meet with them and their families, spend time with them and learn about family histories, wishes, dreams and more. Once a bride decides to use the services of Beauty from Ashes Creative Design, Grant can supply a host of services/items to meet the personal needs of the wedding party.

• Brides can rent items from Grant, which can include delivery and pick up. These items can be used with special pieces the families want to include in the wedding.

• Grant will visit the couple’s wedding venue and help visualize the space, while also doing trial runs with possible setups using her inventory or items the couple provides. One of her services is to actually design the room in advance, so the couple can see exactly what the venue will look like with the pieces they’ve chosen to use.

• Have an idea for a perfect piece to incorporate into your wedding or reception? Grant will go on a treasure hunt to find that perfect item.

• In order to make one’s wedding a customized experience, Grant urges families to bring in items to incorporate into the wedding/reception. By using personal items,

Beauty from Ashes Creative Design can be found in a studio/workshop in Princeton, where a variety of displays “How sweet it is to be loved by you” incorporates and are set up to help soon-to-be newlyweds envision their old hutch with enamel-ware basins filled with candies for reception guests to nibble on throughout the evening. special day.

Want to know what your head table will look like for your wedding reception?

Beauty from Ashes owner Jacqui Grant will actually set your table, so there are no surprises.

Turning old items — whether they are favorite pieces belonging to the wedding party or ones she has secured throughout the years — into unique designs is a specialty of Beauty from Ashes, like this guestbook table that includes an old suitcase, a lantern, picture frame and more.

Grant said, “The beauty of (doing this) allows for family members to get involved, and more importantly, changes your decor from simple decorations to pieces of your life, your history, your love. The decor takes on the spirit of your love story.”

• Beauty from Ashes will also be a bride’s “designer for the day.”

Grant offers a variety of no-stress packages, all personalized, at varying prices, depending on services. She stressed she is not in business to compete with florists or caterers or any other services used in a wedding setting, rather there to compliment what they do and help keep the bride and groom from having to stress out over the details of the special day.

“Every wedding is different,” Grant said.

“We strive to work within your budget and

will work with you on creating unique packages utilizing our services and rentals. Once we have met and discussed your ideas, we will work up a quote that fits your budget.

This is our goal ... to make (your wedding) about the love you share, rather than about a production to impress people. All that really matters is that you’re marrying the one you love,” Grant said. “This may sound contrary to my business, but the decorations do not matter in the long run. It’s not what people are coming for — they love you and want to stand next to you as you take this vow of marriage. Once this becomes the main focus, I have seen the stress leave the bride and groom when getting ready for their day.

It becomes fun ... Let’s make this stress free for all involved and a journey filled with joy, peace and lots of laughter,” Grant said.
