How to enforce an ordinance?

Princeton looks at a new violation process plan

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The city of Princeton is looking for better enforcement of its ordinances.

In his report at this week’s Princeton City Council meeting, City Manager Jeff Clawson

said he hopes to bring an ordinance violation process plan to the council by the end of August for consideration. Princeton Police Chief Tom Root and Zoning Officer Brian Gift are looking at other communities to see how they are handling enforcement and violation of city ordinances.

Currently, when the city council passes an ordinance it goes on the city books. If a violation is seen, a letter is sent to the resident, giving the resident needed time for correction of the violation.

If the person doesn’t comply, then a ticket is issued.

Violations could include things like parking, cur-

few, misdemeanor police violations or nuisance violations like littering or weeds, Clawson said, adding the city will educate the public once an ordinance is passed, and most violations would be obvious and straight forward.

Also, Clawson reported the city of Princeton has received recognition through the Illinois Public Risk Fund for the city’s

improvements to its Workman’s Compensation Safety Program. Princeton was one of the Top 5 candidates for 2013 for loss control. Clawson thanked the city department heads and the council for the support. The city pays a significant cost in premiums to workman’s compensation, and it’s good to keep those costs down, he said.

Concerning economic development news, Clawson said he, as well as Princeton City Clerk Pete Nelson and Princeton Tourism and Marketing Director Joni Hunt, have attended recent meetings of the Regional Economic Development Group, a new group which encompasses Bureau, LaSalle

PHS looks toward the new year

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Princeton High School is gearing up for the start of school in about a month.

At Wednesday’s board meeting, Superintendent Kirk Haring said he had seen a student that day who had informed Haring that school started in 27 days, if anyone was counting.

The school buildings and grounds will be ready for the students when they come, Haring said.

The PHS maintenance staff has been busy and is ahead of schedule in getting everything ready for school. Both the buildings and grounds are in great shape. The maintenance crews work hard and take great pride in the school building and grounds, Haring said.

In his report, Principal Andy Berlinski said the fourth annual Freshmen Ignition orientation day is set for Aug. 12. School registration for returning sophomores, juniors and seniors will be Aug. 13. The first day of attendance for all students will be Aug. 19, with Blue/White Night set for Aug. 23.

One of the new students to PHS this fall will be Selina Darimont, a foreign exchange student from Storkow, Germany.

At Wednesday’s meeting, the school board unanimously approved a request presented by Berlinski to allow Darimont to attend

Lindsay Wright, 13, of Princeton preps her dog, Joey, before taking the spotlight at the 4-H Dog Show on Thursday evening. The show attracted dogs of all shapes and sizes, along with their owners, who were prepared to show off their skills. Most of the contestants said the most challenging thing about prepping a dog for a show was teaching them to listen and respond to a command. Most agreed, that patience, affection and a couple dog treats in hand were the perfect mix to keeping a dog on task.

4-H members, ribbons and man’s best friend Bureau County 4-H Fair is in town

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The 2014 Bureau County 4-H Fair is buzzing with excitement.

From the project exhibits to the animals shows, the fair provides an opportunity for club members to showcase their hard work,

view new projects, mingle with old friends and enjoy a sense of accomplishment when a blue ribbon comes their way.

The exhibit buildings opened early Thursday morning, as club members began to gather at the Bureau County Fairgrounds. The day was busy with judging of general projects, a fashion revue and the dog obedience show.

Jena Ohda, 9, of Walnut was among many prepping her dog before the show. This was her first year showing her golden retriever, Oliver.

Her grandma, who is a 4-H leader, encouraged her to try out the sport. She said the most important thing about practicing for a dog obedience show is teaching the dog to “heel” and “sit.”

“It shows the dog that it’s not

What’s the secret to training a dog? Ohda said it’s patience.

“He just wants to go, go, go all the time,” she said, referring to Oliver.

Dusty Kolb, 11, of Malden was also gearing up for her first time at the dog show.

first discovered the show, she enjoyed seeing the different types of dog breeds and how they acted, which inspired her to join in on the fun.

With this being her first year, she was feeling a little nervous about the show, but said the experience would be worth it, as she hopes to be back at next year’s show.

Haley Sebby, 12, of New Bedford stood off to the side as she focused herself before showing her golden retriever, Jake.

It was Sebby’s second time showing Jake at the 4-H dog show. She said the most challenging part about training Jake is get-

ting him to listen, but dog treats usually help out with the problem.

This year’s 4-H fair was a first for Sue Booker in her position as Bureau County 4-H Program Coordinator.

As she made her rounds at the different activities going on throughout the evening, she stopped to mention one thing she’s noticed about this year’s fair is the amount of excitement when decorating the club booths.

“For my first year in Bureau County, it was really nice to see all the clubs work together and come up with the themes and have so much fun doing it,” she said. “We’ve got some wonderful projects here. The kids con-

tinue to amaze me with the things that they can do.”

In talking about the 4-H program, Booker said it provides a wide variety of interests for the young people involved — from robotics to animal science to interior design and cultural studies, 4-H offers a little bit of everything.

“The biggest thing I notice coming into any 4-H fair is how much pride the kids have in their projects and how much hard work they’ve put into it. They’ve chosen a topic; they’ve stuck it out; they’ve done the work; and they’ve presented something they are proud of,” she said.

“If you walk though any

of the barns, any of the kids will stop and tell you about everything they’ve created, so it’s a great activity to get your kids involved in.”

Throughout the year, 4-H participants learn independence, the ability to follow direction, the ribbon system, which is based on the ability to interpret the fair book and implement something that has been asked of them. Students, most importantly, gain a sense of belonging.

“They belong to a club in a nurturing environment. It’s somewhere you can express yourself, feel safe and learn new things,” she said.

Neponset mayor resigns Ken Snyder will fill the seat NEPONSET — Carl Rohrig has resigned as mayor of Neponset, effective Aug. 20.

After a 20-minute closed session at the end of the July 16 meeting of the Neponset Village Board, Rohrig gave his resignation. The board voted to accept his resignation.

Rohrig is moving from the area for his job.

Trustee Ken Snyder was appointed as mayor pro tem until the April 2015 election when a new mayor can be elected for a two-year term to fill Rohrig’s unexpired term.

Before going into closed session, the board conducted its regular business.

The board heard from Neponset Township representatives who attended the meeting to discuss an intergovernmental agreement for snow plowing needs. After discussion, the township representatives and board members agreed to let their attorneys work on a mutual agreement for presentation at the village board’s August meeting.

The board also discussed the 101 Commercial St. building which has debris falling onto the street. There are no solutions at this time. The board agreed to have the village attorney try to find the owner of the building.

The board also agreed the new water ordinance will be voted on at the August board meeting.

Trustee Ken Snyder reported about dog kennels and also gave information about the road grindings for the street department.

Trustee Gene Costin reported he was informed about available road grindings and made the motion to buy five truckloads at a cost of about $250 per load for use on village streets.

Trustee Mandy Mueller had no report this month but will help Ken Snyder and Barb Jannie with the dog kennel.

In his report, Wayne Gerrond said he would like to buy a gas-powered cut-off saw for use by the streets, water and sewer departments. The cost would be split between the departments, at 50 percent paid by the streets department since it would use the saw the most, with the water and sewer departments each paying 20 percent of the cost. The board approved the recommendation.

Trustee John Pratt presented the May and June police reports, saying he had only one issue with a resident telling him about a dog issue. Pratt said he told the resident to call the police phone and leave a message regarding the issue, so it could be processed correctly.

Trustee Barb Jannie said she had the information for the cost of a dog kennel and dog house, at about $600. Snyder said the cost to build a pen out of cattle panels would exceed that amount.

After further discussion, the board voted to buy the dog kennel and dog house.

Mayor Carol Rohrig asked if the board wanted to contribute to the North Central Illinois Council of Governments for assistance during a national disaster from FEMA. The board agreed to get more information before making the decision.

Helping out the hungry Rebecca Wilson (back left) and her children Leah Wilson, 9, and Evan Wilson, 5, present food items and a check for $125 to Vanessa Hoffeditz (back right), director of the Tri-County Opportunities Council Food Pantry in Princeton. The food and money collection was part of the July 13-17 Vacation Bible School program hosted at the First United Methodist Church in Princeton. The food collection drive, with a Let’s Stock the Shelves theme, was a competition between the boys and girls, with the boys coming out victorious. A total of 350 items were collected for the food pantry, which is located at 1019 N. Main St. For each dollar donated to the food pantry, she is able to buy $10 worth of food from an area food bank, Hoffeditz said.

The ramp and pier are closed!

‘I don’t know how much clearer we can be’

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Once again, the public is asked to stay off the ramp leading to the fishing dock at the Zearing Park pond.

Elaine Russell, park district executive director, said the ramp and pier is closed and will remain closed until further notice. People should not be crossing the barricade, she said.

“I do not know how much clearer we can be than to have a barricade and chain across the entrance,” Russell said. “It saddens me to think people think they are so special as to not heed the warning of danger.”

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the cement bases under the ramp leading to the dock are heaving up

at different levels, which has essentially twisted the ramp, pulling at all its seams and joints. The pier itself is fine, but the ramp is not and has been closed since April. Much of the damage was due to the freezing and thawing throughout the winter months.

At this week’s Princeton Park Board meeting, Russell and Superintendent of Parks Keith Scherer reported they had met with Chamlin and Associates engineer Kevin Heitz, along with representatives from Liebhart Construction Co. that had installed the fishing pier, to discuss the problem. It was determined the responsibility of the construction appears to complicate the current issues; Chamlin and Liebhart will work together to repair this issue, Russell said.

In other business at Monday’s meeting, the Princeton Park District Board is closing in on a final budget and appropriations ordinance for the

new 2014-15 fiscal year. A public hearing on the tentative budget is set for 4:15 p.m. Sept. 2, with official approval of the budget at the meeting following.

She and the park board are optimistic when it comes to the new tentative budget, Russell said.

“We tightened our belts when necessary, and everything we did several years back has proven to provide us with money in the bank and the means to pay our debts,” she said.

“The 2010 through 2012 years were a rough three years. But those were the years that taught us a pattern to follow financially.”

That focus meant the district worked with estimated revenues, knowing if those revenues were not met, sometimes the district could not purchase the things it wanted at the beginning of the budget year.

“We constantly have to make sacrifices in order to maintain a tight budget.

I always state we cannot always obtain our wants,

but we have done a great job of keeping up with our needs,” Russell said.

Looking ahead to coming expenses, Russell said repairing of parking lots is a huge project. The board had approved the Metro Center parking lot work last year and must continue completion on that.

Another upcoming project is to seal the path at Zearing Park and to expand the Zearing Park maintenance shed. Also, the Metro Center needs to have one of its two air conditioning units replaced.

“The list is endless, but with proper maintenance we continue to maintain as best we can,” Russell said.

Until payment is completed in 2024 on the 40-acre addition at Zearing Park, there will be little change in the district’s revenue source, Russell said, adding that knowing the financial limitations with both expenses and revenues will keep the district on track into the future.

Ladd utility customers can now pay online LADD — The village of Ladd will offer a new service — online and mobile utility payments.

Customers can pay from anywhere, seven days a week, 24 hours a day. To pay, log onto the village of Ladd’s website at www.vil. ladd.il.us or download the “PSN Payments” app. Customers can make a credit/ debit card or checking/ savings account payment.

Customers will also be able to make an immediate payment, schedule a payment or set up Auto-Pay and not have to worry about making a payment for each bill.

“This is a win for everyone involved,” according

to Ladd Village Clerk Diane Chandler. “By automating the payment process, we are saving time for our customers as well as our staff. Online and mobile payments are green initiatives as well, since our customers won’t be using paper checks or envelopes.

It’s great to do something that benefits our customers while at the same time being kinder to the environment.”

To cover costs charged by payment processors and credit card companies, a convenience fee of $1 for check/savings payments and 2.75 percent (plus 50 cents if

under $100) for credit/ debit card payments has been instituted. The village does not receive any revenue from these fees.

Security of online information is always a concern, so when the village of Ladd looked for a company to provide online and phone payments, that was a top consideration.

They chose Payment Service Network (PSN) which has attained Level 1 Certification by the Payment Card Industry – Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), the highest degree of security awarded by the industry.

Also, there is the option to the ACT as well in late March, which is four to six weeks earlier than in the past. There is a lot of value in continuing the ACT because of the benchmark it provides as a measure for college preparedness, especially until PARCC becomes more able to provide comparison data, Berlinski said.

On Wednesday, Berlinski said PHS will continue to administer the ACT and WorkKeys tests, but instead of giving the test in April, it will be administered in March. However, the school will most likely not lose its test prep time.

It’s still a big deal Growing up as a farm kid, our activities outside the confines of our farm north of Princeton were limited. Oh sure, we were taken into Princeton to occasionally visit the swimming pool or to accompany our adults on errands, but by and large, our world was the countryside and everything that went along with it. Of course times were much different then on those dusty gravel roads of long ago, but we were usually content with our life on the farm.

With that in mind, being a member of a 4-H Club back then was a big deal.

Terri With a monthly meeting clearly writSimon ten on our family calendar, we looked forward to each one. After all, days and weeks would go by without any scheduled activities except the ones on the farm that focused on family and chores. A 4-H meeting meant we had the opportunity to visit another 4-H member’s home, have a meeting in which we all participated, enjoy homemade food made by that 4-Her’s mom, and then play games after the meeting, while the adults chatted among themselves.

Not sound too exciting? Oh but it was, and many times it was the highlight of our month.

We were members of two 4-H Clubs — a girls’ only club dubbed the Cloverleaf Homemakers and a boys’ and girls’ club named Evergreen 4-H Club.

The meetings consisted of a variety of regular features — the pledge, the reading of the minutes from the meeting before, old business, new business, etc. Those items were then always followed by talks and demonstrations performed by members of the club, which varied greatly depending on which projects those members were working on. We learned a lot without even realize we were learning. It was just fun.

Even though the number of projects offered were limited back then, we spent many hours outside our 4-H meetings working on those projects.

From attempting to stitch a straight line for our clothing projects ... to baking the perfect brownies ... to brushing our ponies and getting them to stand just so in anticipation of the showring ... to taking photos for our photography project ... to working on an arts and crafts piece ... to so much more — our days were filled with various activities in preparation for the ultimate — the Bureau County 4-H Fair.

When the fair finally arrived, we were just about giddy. After our leaders reviewed our projects and fair entries, we solemnly took our animals and other projects to the fair, hoping for blue ribbons yet knowing the judges would let us know if our attempts were worthy. Sometimes they were; sometimes they weren’t. More lessons learned in being gracious and knowing we could do better next time.

The fair was also a great time to reconnect with friends we had made at last year’s fair, and we spent every day, all day, at the fairgrounds surrounded by adults and other 4-H members who held the same values, goals and dreams. I don’t remember any of us ever being a problem. Respect was the rule of the day, and we gave it without anyone reminding us to do so.

This week is the annual Bureau County Fair. As you can imagine, 4-H has changed in many ways since I was a little kid many, many years ago.

There are far more projects in which members can enroll; the judging process is different; the events at the fair differ greatly; etc. After all, things change with the times.

But there are some things that have remained consistent throughout the years, and those are the same things that make a 4-H Club so important to the youth of today. Members work hard. Adults volunteer their time for the benefit of these children; Fun is paramount to all of it. And respect is learned over and over again.

Hard to believe some things never change. Why not head on out to the Bureau County 4-H Fair today, Saturday, or Sunday and see for yourself.

I think you’ll be really impressed with the young people you’ll see there.

Greg Wallace FROM THE SKETCHBOOK

A couple of goats I’m giving somewhat serious thought to the possibility of reading a book. OK, in reality, probably only semi-serious thought. Actually more of a passing notion now that I really think about it.

On second thought, I might not have time.

I haven’t read a book in a while. If I remember correctly, the last one I did start and finish (after a couple of months) I really liked. It was a book about this guy named Sam who didn’t like the idea of eating eggs and porkbased products that happen to be green in color. He wouldn’t eat them in a box with a fox, in a house with a mouse or even on a boat with a goat.

He just didn’t like them. It was a nicely written piece. The author was a doctor.

These days, I just don’t find the time to read. It seems like too big of a commitment. Usually, when I have tried starting a book, I look at the clock, read the first page or two, look at the clock again, check out how many pages are in the book, roughly calculate the amount of years it will take for me to finish the book (adding in time for bathroom breaks, snacks, television interruptions, summer and all months that contain the letter “r”) and then I set the book down to get on with my life. Usually with snacks.

Apparently, I don’t have the attention span to enjoy a good bo … Hey look! That penny is really, really shiny!

That could possibly be the shiniest penny that I have ever se … oh, wait … what was I talking about? Oh yeah … apparently I have a low attention span.

Anything with more words than the common mattress tag, takes me multiple sittings to get through it.

Now my wife on the other hand, is what I like to kindly refer to as a power reader. She is one of those people that when she picks up a book, she intends to not put it down until it is finished.

My daughter and I know not to disturb her during these sessions. She sits there in a somewhat comatose state for hours on end, just staring, scanning the pages, flipping them every so often.

She has been known to start a book early in the evening and read until the sun lights up the pre-dawn sky. During the great Harry Potter binge of a few years back, she subsisted primarily on a diet of Chicklets and Razzles. I wanted to ask when it was that she took her restroom breaks, but I was afraid of the answer that I might have gotten.

I was at my parents’ house last week when I saw a book laying on the table out on the porch. It’s titled “A Nice Little Place On The North Side” and was written by the famous syndicated columnist George F. Will. According to the dust jacket, it’s about the history of my “hapless” Chicago Cubs and predominantly about their iconic ballpark, Wrigley Field. “Hapless” was the word

the publisher used, not me. I prefer “stinky.”

Since I have always been a Cubs fan and also an admirer of Wrigley Field, I was kind of interested. I asked if it was any good. Mom told me to take it home and read it. I gave her one of those, “Awww Mom! Do I have to!?!,” looks that I have perfected over the years. Dad said I would really like, and that it contained many interesting items. He also suggested that I take the book with me. I slumped my shoulders, begrudgingly picked up the hardback and gave Dad one of my, “OK, if I really have to” looks. One would think that after all this time, these particular people would be much more attune to my “looks.”

Well, evidently, 162 games a year of misery and torture isn’t enough. I now have a compelling need to expound upon that anxiety by another 194 pages. This composition is now in my possession. It is my sincerest desire at this particular moment in time, to completely read and possibly enjoy this entire printed volume. I have been warned that it contains big words, so I’m already leery.

I will warn you, if there is not at least one chapter devoted to 1970s-era, Chicago Cub outfielder Jose Cardenal and his huge Afro, I am going to be soooooooooo upset. (You can tell how angry I’ll be by the inordinate amount of o’s.)

His exclusion from this opus could very likely cause my newly-inflamed passion for reading to come to an abrupt conclusion. No, I will not like it Sam-I-am.

Just like the last book I read, and as a lifelong Cubs fan, I’m afraid this book will also make mention of a goat. Or at least Steve Bartman.

Thanks Neighbor ‘When life throws you a curve ball ...’

To the Editor, I have always been a firm believer that there are many more good people in this world than bad people. This last weekend my belief was confirmed. The Western Bureau Valley Conference B Girl’s Softball Tournament was held in LaMoille. My oldest daughter, Erin, coaches the Tampico B Girl’s Team. This group of girls is amazing on and off the field. I have watched them grow and develop as great softball players.

On the previous Monday, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Even though the Tampico team wears bright orange shirts, they all wore pink socks in my honor.

Their motto for the tournament was “Win for Anita!” It brought tears to my eyes. One of the umpires, Keith Dickinson from Princeton, also wore a pink umpire shirt during every game the Tampico team played. I felt honored. Thanks girls and Keith!

Sunday play began at 1 p.m.

LaMoille vs. Walnut. I looked out on the field and some of the LaMoille players also had pink socks. More tears.

After the game, the LaMoille girls approached me with a bouquet of flowers and a card signed not just by the players but many of their parents and other community members. This gesture of kindness touched me deeply. Tears flowed. Complete strangers caring that much. The world is full of compassionate caring people. This was above and beyond. Thanks LaMoille … I will never forget this act of kindness.

“When life throws you a curve ball, hit it out of the park! That’s my plan!”

Opening reception announced for upcoming PAC art show PRINCETON — A traditional designed quilt from the past meant warmth on a cold night, but it also provided beauty to the family member on whose bed it resided, a beauty achieved when that family’s foremost thoughts were to survive through the difficult winters of the time; and, while quilts belonged to that by-gone era, because of their wonderful colors and designs, they have evolved into a new and appealing contemporary art form; and, they now hang on walls of corporate offices, hospi-

tals, churches, art galleries and homes.

The upcoming art show at the Prairie Arts Center, “Quilts: Then and Now,” will also showcase a new quilt art application for placement on barns that quilters in the Princeton area are working on. The barn quilt art will include either the quilter’s own designs or the designs of other quilters. Currently, their barn quilt designs can be found in 24 locations in Bureau County.

Typically, they are either 8-by-8-feet or 4-by-4-foot wooden blocks, designed

with a colorful quilt pattern, hand painted using durable exterior paint for year-round display, and are then mounted on historic barns.

The colorful patterns of the barn quilt designs are designed to invite visitors to venture off the beaten path and explore Bureau County’s scenic countryside. A tourist map guide is available to direct you to all of the 24 barn quilt sites.

The opening reception for the show will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at the Prairie Arts Center, 24 Park Ave. East in Princeton.

A day at the Illinois Junior Beef Association EDGE conference Who knew? I’m living in the millennial generation.

Anyone born between early 1980s to the early 2000s are considered the millennial generation. This is the first generation to experience digital devices and later developing into Internet.

The millennial generation makes up 25 percent of the population in the United States. This is three million more people than the Baby Boomer generation.

The millennial generation consumers are the target audience for many industries and brands, including beef. Many people have confessed to turning to the Internet for advice and tips about beef, according to the July 2014 issue of the Angus Journal.

Now that I know I am a millennial and that we millennials include more beef in our diet, a friend and I recently attended the Illinois Junior Beef Association EDGE conference that was held at the University of Illinois (UI).

There were many different PowerPoint workshops for those attending. Topics ranged from preparing for college, how to be a good public speaker, snapping great photos or using social media correctly.

We even got to experience the UI meat lab as part of our different workshops that were offered.

In the meat lab, we were shown a few different aspects about the beef carcass. Everyone got to see and learn about the different parts of a beef rump or the back quarter of a beef carcass. The different sections were shown to us, and in some ways, some of the parts were closely related to functions of human bones and muscles.

Next we got to evaluate a hanging beef carcass. When evaluating a beef carcass, there are many areas to look at. There is the ribeye

Kaitlyn Hildebrand COMMENTARY area, which is measured at the 12th rib of the carcass.

The ribeye area is expressed in total square inches. The larger the square inch, the better the muscular development.

Another area to evaluate on the carcass is the fat thickness, which is the amount of fat layered on the outside of a carcass.

Finally there is the kidney, pelvic and heart fat to consider; these are deposits of fat accumulated in the body cavity. Kidney, pelvic and heart fat are considered a percent of carcass weight, and this percent range is anywhere from 1 to 8 percent. All the information found in each of these measurements go into a formula and result in the yield grade for cutability.

We also learned about the different grade choices.

There are four basic grades — prime, choice, select and standard. Most USDA meat are choice or select grades.

There are very few animals that are butchered for grade prime, and that meat is found in restaurants and high-cost meat counters.

The final workshop for the EDGE conference was to the UI beef research farm. At the farm, we got to see the many types of research done. Everyone learned about the types of feed that can be fed to animals. When we were there, the beef was being fed corn, silage, chopped hay or distillers dry grain. Silage is the whole corn plant chopped up, while distillers is what remains after the corn is cooked down for ethanol.

Second stop of the beef farm was the nutritional barn. At this barn, animals are contained in a temperature controlled room. Each

animal is placed in their own stall with their own feed bunk and water supply. The final stop on the tour was to one of the barns that contains just a part of their 900-head of feeder cattle. In this barn, we got to experience how an electronic ear tag could tell so much. Each cow is given an ID with an electronic ear tag to track the feed intake of each cow. A small feed bunk is set up to record the pounds each cow eats by reading the electronic tag of the cow and recording the feed consumed by that cow. Once the feed bunk has the data collected, it is sent to a computer that updates every hour.

I found the meat lab and the research farm part of the conference to be very interesting, as I would like a career in animal science.

This was Illinois Junior Beef Association’s first try at a one day youth conference, and I found it worthwhile and cool to be on a college campus.

On another note, I was able to attend the 2014 Illinois FFA convention, along with other members from the LaMoille FFA Chapter.

Planting Your Potential was the theme, and as soon as you walked into the Prairie Capital Convention Center in Springfield, you could feel the excitement and enthusiasm that each FFA member had.

For those of you who will enter into high school and don’t know where your career is going yet, I would suggest becoming an active member in the school’s FFA organization. FFA is one of the few programs that is highly respected and a continued tradition here in Illinois.

To my fellow millennial generation, eat more beef.

Kaitlyn Hildebrand will be a junior at LaMoille High School and resides on her family cattle/corn operation in Ohio.

Boat races get started with some excitement DEPUE — It didn’t take long for some excitement at the start of the PRO National Boat Races at Lake DePue Friday.

Drivers were warned about gusty winds that would hit them as they turned into the front stretch. All the boats in the first heat of the day, the OSY 400, came away unscathed with Braxton Miller of Grove, Okla., taking the checkered flag.

Jay Walls of Danville, Ind., however, didn’t in the next race, the first heat of the C Racing Hydro.

Walls, 24, has been racing for about 10 years, he said. When I asked him if that had ever happened to him before, he said, ‘No, and I never wanted it, to.’”

There would be two more delays Friday afternoon as the BCR went to press, hopeful that the races would be able to resume into the evening hours if necessary.

DePue Racer Profile Brian Payn

Name: Brian Payn.

Hometown: Center Point, Iowa.

Age: 39.

Years in boat racing: 25.

Who/what got you started in racing?: My grandfather, Dewey Payn. Growing up around it, I always wanted to do it. It was never forced upon me or nothing. I’m a third generation racer, and my daughter, Brianna, who won the K Pro last year, is a fourth generation.

Career highlights: Winning the 350 Runabout in 2010 with Mike Krier’s motor. He was sitting in the hospital because he got hurt in the 250 Runabout the day before and his motor was a little bit stronger than mine. As we were sitting in the hospital, Mike asked me if I would run his motor. It was kind of a heartfelt moment. I was proud, but worried about your buddy.

But he wants his stuff still out on the water and then we won the championship, so that was icing on the cake.

Best things about racing in DePue: The town and the people who live here. Kind of a funny deal, I just walked up to the Giants Den for breakfast, got hollered at by about three people, got mooned at once.

We’re all friends. I’ve been coming here for so long, half the town knows me.”

Classes racing this weekend: 500 Runabout, 350 Runabout and maybe the 250 and 700.

I remember Carol telling me stories years ago about how she never knew who she’d find sleeping on her floor home during the boat races.

Mike, who bears a spitting resemblance to his father in the picture circa 1979, continues that tradition with his family. He said his wife, Jeannine, was reading a bedime story to their daughter, Riley, the night before, and when they got done, she asked, “When are we going to the boat races?

She got there Friday, all decked with her ponytails right in the front row.

Raising a healthy child Some tried and true tips to develop a healthy lifestyle for your children

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

They are your pride and joy — your most precious possession.

Your children come into your lives, and without exception, every parent wants what is best for their sons and daughters — a loving home, a good education, plenty of friends and family members, enough money to give each child what they need and ultimately what they want.

But there’s more to the equation of raising a child.

It’s the one thing that ultimately makes everything else pale in comparison, however, it may be the one thing that suffers or lacks the most — a healthy lifestyle.

Today’s world is filled with a variety of activities that are fun and wholesome in moderation — primarily electronics, which can include TV, video games, iPads, computers, cell phones and the like.

But we’ve all heard about the children who spend countless hours staring at a screen or monitor or laying on their beds texting friends and chatting for just as many hours on their personal cell phone.

While those electronic devices can be fun as well as hold a variety of other attributes — even some educational ones, the key

Bureau Valley School District physical education teacher Vicki Litherland (right) is pictured getting some morning exercise with walking buddy Sue Lanxon, Sheffield Public Library head librarian.

The two can be seen nearly every day walking through Sheffield, getting a good dose of some early morning exercise.

Litherland said she wants to be a good role model to the 250 Bureau Valley students she works with in her physical education classes in Wyanet and Buda. Lanxon agrees, saying the Sheffield Public Library as well as most libraries across the county have books and other resources parents can use to help keep their children physically active.

Lifestyle From Page 1 to keeping a balance for your children all boils down to one word: Moderation.

Vicki Litherland of Sheffield, is a physical education teacher who works with approximately 250 kindergarten through fifth-grade students at Bureau Valley in Buda and Wyanet. She would like to see parents limit their child’s sedentary activities and replace them with ones that are more active, ultimately more healthy.

“Parents need to take an active role in encouraging their children to be physically active and healthy, and limit sedentary activity,” Litherland said, adding children can be active during all the seasons, including the inclement winter months, where they can help shovel snow, play outside winter games and go with the family for walks in the winter wonderland. “Remember, as a parent, you know best, so teach good exercise habits early and model your expectations. Take your children to the gym with you; let them become familiar with the Metro Center, YMCA or fitness club.”

Litherland has been teaching and coaching for several years, and she said she’s seen students

change throughout the course of time.

“Students in the lower grades (kindergarten through second grade) are naturally competitive, and they love to run, jump and play. They will play hard, run fast, be out of breath and enjoy the fact they just had the opportunity to be active,” she said.

“As they get older, I notice a slight level of apathy that sets in, if parents have not encouraged and modeled physical activity. Also, this is when body types change due to the lack of physical activity,” she said, adding many parents do encourage and involve their children in after-school activities such as dance, team sports, taekwondo, etc. She said she’s also very impressed with the many schools in the area that offer afterschool programs that provide healthy snacks and interactive game play.

“I feel very fortunate to have and work with children five days a week in the school setting, and I feel lucky to have an administration that supports daily physical education. I know I can make a difference with physical activity,” Litherland said.

“When students enter the gym, they are ready to run; they want to move, and it is energizing. My No. 1 goal is to have students working daily on their cardiovascular endur-

ance. Constant movement can be disguised in many games and fun activities.

Basically, it’s less talking, more moving,” she said.

It’s no secret that a healthy and active lifestyle can be beneficial to all ages. Exercise provides for stronger muscles/ bones, weight control, a decreased risk of Type 2 diabetes, better sleep habits, a better outlook on life, a happier disposition, more motivated, more alert, etc. Litherland agrees.

“Research shows students who are active also feel better about themselves; they do better in school; and they live a healthier, happier life,” she said. “Students who exercise before standardized testing have better scores. The physical education/math teacher in Malden, Barb Schlund, takes her students to the gym prior to testing; she has done this for many years, and results have proven it makes a difference.”

Litherland said just as parents play a strong role in other aspects of their children’s lives, they should remember they also need to be good role models and encourage their sons and daughters to be active.

Bureau County Republican • bcrnews.com parents don’t positively play an active role, children can become apathetic toward play and hard work. Raising children isn’t an easy job, but if you plant the exercise seed when they are very young, they will blossom, and you won’t have to be the encouraging parent — just the supportive parent.

“Most older children love being with their friends; many children enjoy being a part of a team,” she continued. “Some students love being part of a team, going to practice after school, talking with friends, laughing and working hard with classmates. A team provides security; a team offers friendship; a team offers camaraderie; a team offers a sense of accomplishment and hard work.”

Litherland said parents should remember they can and should reward their children for being active, rather than sedentary, just like they do when encouraging them to get good grades in school.

“At our household it was, if you commit fully to your athletic teams during high school, you only have to work during the free time, which isn’t much if you are a dedicated participant,” she said.

Litherland said the task of being a role model for one’s children is “very, very important. Parents are a child’s most influential role model. As students become older, teachers, coaches and other adults

can play a very important role in making healthy choices with exercise and eating. Parenting is a tough job. Exercising is what it is, but the pay out is show stopping.”

Besides being physically active, Litherland said she encourages parents to watch their child’s diet and limit or take away fried foods, chips and sugary snacks.

“I think the key word is ‘limit,’” she said. “For example, there is a fast food chain that offers apple slices instead of French fries. That’s a good choice.

Another way to eat healthier is to eat at home more, and limit how many times you eat out or run through the drive-up window.”

Litherland offers the following advice for physical activities based on age: Preschool: Parks — interactive playgrounds, tricycles, Big Wheels (make sure they use the outdoor toys that family members give them). Invest in a fence system and have them play outside in sandboxes, swings, outdoor toys, water games, etc.

School-age: Join an organized sport or activity — not only is it good for exercise, but the social interaction skills are needed to be successful in life.

As a family, go for bike rides, organize fun games when out in the yard, go to a water park, pack a picnic with healthy foods, go to the park and organize a game. Children are natu-

Team sports promote a host of good attributes for young athletes, including a sense of belonging, great physical activity and more, however, there are other ways for young children to get exercise outside of organized sports teams. rally competitive.

Teenagers: Hopefully by this age, they have found an extracurricular activity they enjoy being involved in. Drama, swing choir, soccer, marching band and sports programs are offered in many communities and schools. By this age, kids should be off the couch and be involved.

Working is another great form of exercise that teaches responsibility.

Having a part-time job is a form of exercise that sometimes is overlooked.

But what about those children who just don’t want to join a sports team or be involved in competitive athletics?

Litherland said there are

several available apps on the market today which can track your fitness workouts. You can join an online fitness club and record your activity and compare it to others. If your child loves technology, build this in as an incentive to buy the device or app, but as a parent, you should monitor their activity, Litherland said.

“If children are active at a young age, they are more likely to be active the older they get. Exercise becomes a daily habit, just like brushing your teeth,” Litherland said.

“Start young; build it into your routine of life; and the pay out in the end will be worth a fortune.

“Find a way to exercise with your child: teach them young,” she added.

“I have several parents who do exercises with their children.”

Litherland spoke of the new fitness center in Walnut, Main Street Motivation, that has challenged the Bureau Valley community to walk or run 100 miles during the months of June, July and August.

She said she knows of several students who have enjoyed the challenge, and she knows they will meet the 100 miles by Aug. 31, which earns them a T-shirt with their name on it. At Bureau Valley South, Litherland will reward this accomplishment during

physical education classes at the beginning of the year.

Litherland also spoke of the several 5K events held throughout the county during the year, and said they are fun, interactive, a great form of exercise, and the icing on the proverbial cake is they are usually held for a good cause.

“Remember: Any form of exercise will do. It doesn’t have to be painful,” she said. “Most people drop inches and pounds when they start their exercise routine. So get moving and give your body time to show you the results.”

Preventing abuse of older adults IDOA hopes to raise awareness SPRINGFIELD — On July 7, Gov. Pat Quinn declared July 2014 as Elder Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month.

Elder or dependent adult abuse refers to a negligent act including physical, sexual, emotional, confinement, passive neglect, willful deprivation or financial exploitation committed by a person known to the victim.

It is estimated that approximately 5 percent of older adults fall victim to abuse each year, and with a population exceeding two million adults 60 or over, it is estimated that 100,000 older adults fall victim to abuse in Illinois annually.

In 2013, the Illinois Department on Aging (IDOA) received 11,756 reports of suspected abuse of older adults.

There has been a steady rise in reports received over the last 10 years, but it is still believed that a large portion of abuse cases go unreported.

In addition to older adults, last year the state

of Illinois combined the Elder Abuse program with the investigation of abuse and neglect of adults 18 and over with a disability to form the Adult Protective Services program, administered

by IDOA. The inclusion of investigation of alleged abuse of adults age 18 or over with a disability has increased the number of reports investigated, and has added a whole new population of victims and possible unreported abuse cases.

IDOA is hoping to raise awareness with the general public, family members and those who work with the eligible populations to be on the lookout for signs of abuse and neglect. Some indicators of abuse include: • Untreated injuries, bruises, burns, sprains or dislocations, scratches and cuts.

• Sudden changes in behavior, unusual depression and/or withdrawal in social settings.

• Tense relationships/ frequent arguments with a caregiver, or a caregiver’s refusal to allow visitors.

• Dehydration, unusual weight loss, poor hygiene, untreated health problems, unsafe living conditions.

• Sudden financial changes: additional names added to accounts, unauthorized withdrawals of funds, abrupt changes on a will or other financial documents.

If you suspect abuse or neglect of an eligible adult, report this to the local investigative unit or the IDOA 24-hour hotline.

Locally, the Adult Protective Services unit is operated by Alternatives for the Older Adult. Alternatives accepts reports of abuse Monday through Friday during business hours and can be reached at 800-798-0988.

If a report needs to be made outside of normal business hours or on the weekend, IDOA operates a 24-hour hotline that can be reached at 866800-1409 or TTY 888-2061327. Anonymous reports are accepted, and all calls and information provided are kept confidential.

If there are questions about whether or not a specific incident should be reported, or for more information about services available to older adults and/or their caregivers, contact the IDOA Senior Help Line at 800252-8966 or Western Illinois Area Agency on Aging at 309-793-6800 or 800-322-1051.
