IEMA grants more than $73,000 Tri-County area to receive federal dollars

By Goldie Rapp and Dave Cook news@bcrnews.com

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) recently announced it would be awarding grants totaling $4 million to 120 accredited city and county emergency management agencies throughout the state.

The monies are Emergency Management Performance

Grants (EMPG), which are funded by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Each year, the award amounts are determined by a base amount plus population-based formula prescribed by administrative rule. This year, Bureau County was allotted $21,218.73; LaSalle County was allotted $36,778.01 and Putnam County was allotted $15,508.71.

Bureau County EMA Director Keenan Campbell explained in order for EMA agencies to qualify for the grants, each agency must conduct exercises, attend trainings and meetings as requested by IEMA and have an approved County Emergency Operations Plan.

“If we meet all of those requirements, then IEMA will recognize (the agency) as an accredited county emergency management agency making us eligible for these grant funds,” Campbell said, adding Bureau County has been accredited for decades.

The EMPG covers up to 50 percent of expenses that have already been depleted in the previous quarter. The funds are a reimbursement of up to 50 percent of the director’s salary, EMA operational expenses, public outreach and preparedness programs, and other events EMA may develop.

PRINCETON/SPRING VALLEY — Although both teachers and students enjoy their summer vacations and all that happens between the last school bell in May and the first one in August, a few local instructors at different points in their career provided insight on whether summer break is beneficial or detrimental to the progress of a child’s academic climb.

Sally Wilcoxen teaches third grade at John F. Kennedy Elementary School in Spring Valley. She has taught for 31 years and will be retiring after the 201617 school year to focus on the next chapter in her life. She said students definitely lose educational ground over the summer because they are not in the routine of the school day.

“The problem is that some kids can rebound well in August with a quick review of material, and other kids with low retention skills start at Square 1 again; so the loss of educational ground really depends on the individual child,” Wilcoxen said, adding even the teachers are “running for the door” when summer break begins, as everyone rightfully needs a break after nine straight months of schooling.

Kevin Scruggs, having just finished his fifth year as a fifth-grade teacher at Logan Junior High School in Princeton, said it’s clear to him the beginning of each school year is dedicated to reminding students how school is conducted and what they are supposed to know.

“This is confirmed by the standardized tests given to students at the end of each academic year and again at the beginning of the next year,” Scruggs said.

“The scores speak to the idea that knowledge is lost over the summer months.”

Although it’s different in every school district, Wilcoxen said parents, teachers and communities at large “adequately” supply educational support over the summer months. In the past, she sent huge math packets home for the children to accomplish during the summer

Private: At the Crossroads ...

Private high school is proud of its classical education

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

Editor’s note: This is the first in a three-part series on the three private schools in Bureau County.

TISKILWA — “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.” ~ Jeremiah 6:16 Crossroads High School in Tiskilwa lives by that creed for every student who passes through its hallways.

Tiskilwa native Andrea Horst home-schooled her children, and through that experience she gained knowledge on a classical education. She enjoyed it so much she thought other faithful minds rising through the ranks might be excited by it as well.

“Classical education came to us from the ancient Greeks, and they proposed the purpose of education is not to get a job, but to develop wisdom and virtue and teach the student to think truly and act rightly,” Horst said, adding she believes in truth with a capital T, and it is the privilege of men and women to seek it.

At first Horst didn’t share the idea of Crossroads High School with too many

tion back to our town in a big way,” she said, stating they’re starting a volleyball and basketball team this fall, and they have great plays and fantastic concerts in the gym. “Our kids are really well-rounded, just like the good old days of small town schools where the kids did everything, so we’re a pretty happy family down here.”

Crossroads’ subjects include the Bible, history, English, math, science, the humanities, Latin, physical education and art, and Kauffman said they can choose who attends the educational opportunities at Crossroads.

“We don’t have any public funding, so we make a choice that’s good for the student but also the whole student body as well,” Kauffman said, noting they rely on the kindness of donors and a tuition that’s about half of what other private schools are. “We know this area is not really thriving economically, and we want to be open to those for whom this is the right school because we’re swimming upstream in a culture that is going in the complete other direction.”

Horst said they are able to address all kinds of issues important to humanity which might need to be

people, but a couple who shared her enthusiasm were Matt and Joy Kauffman, also of Tiskilwa. The Kauffmans came on board to the extent they offered to buy the old Tiskilwa Bank building for Horst to use as a classroom.

“That’s when I had to decide if my dream was something I really wanted to do because it’s much easier to dream than to do it,” said Horst, who has a teaching certificate in English and a master’s degree in adult continuing education.

Horst knelt to pray and then rose and moved forward. Crossroads High School opened in 2010, with 13 students in the bank building. By 2014 they were gaining too many students for the building.

“Just when we were wondering what to do for the next year, the Reagan Elementary School became available,” Horst said, noting the board inquired about the cost and availability, and Princeton Elementary School Superintendent Tim Smith asked if they wanted to rent the building.

Joy Kauffman said Tiskilwa has a school again, and it’s Crossroads High School.

“We’re bringing educa-

avoided in another setting, and Kauffman said they end up developing the integrity, character and commitment that make the students extremely employable.

“If you look at what’s going on in the world, it’s lawlessness. If people studied the Bible more, we would not be killing each other, and if we believe we are made in the image of God, we can still disagree and yet honor each other because God made us both,” Kauffman said, adding when we lose our conviction we lose our basic respect for humanity.

“It’s very important for us to not come across as ‘us against them’ in terms of education in the community,” Horst said, adding seeing through the lens of the Bible is vitally important.

“It is so thoroughly part of who we are that we all need to know what it says.”

Both women said their joy resides in watching students start in seventh grade, work through their senior year, and move on through college to be successful in their young adult lives. The mission at Crossroads is to provide academic excellence grounded in a vibrant Christian world view in order to prepare young people for a life of influence and service for Christ.

“Every time you make an educational choice for your child you’re saying yes to some things and no to other things, and you have to make that decision for your family.”

Andrea Horst

“Every time you make an educational choice for your child you’re saying yes to some things and no to other things, and you have to make that decision for your family,” Horst said, noting colleges look at the strong classical transcript and welcome students.

“Even if we don’t have certain subjects, we give the students critical thinking skills to learn new things when they arrive to an opportunity.”

Kauffman said they train students to stand on the word of God unashamedly in the culture; explore life and the questions that have eternal implication; talk with them during their developmental years and help students communicate their beliefs in a humble and loving way instead of being belligerent or ashamed.

“Our students are going to have confidence the Bible is true because they’ve had the time to study it, and also to defend its truth in a way that has civility and conviction,” Kauffman said.

Crossroads High School will open its doors to the public from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. during Pow Wow Days Saturday, Aug 6. They just signed an additional threeyear lease on the Reagan building.

“We give our students academic and thinking abilities and also cultivate the character. And we emphasize they live for God’s glory and not for their own,” Horst said.

Taking flight ...

Chandler Barnes credits help from family in becoming an Eagle Scout

By Dave Cook dcook@bcrnews.com

HOLLOWAYVILLE — The highest rank a scout can earn in the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is Eagle Scout. Chandler Barnes, 18, a recent graduate of St. Bede, has recently been accepted into the Eagles Nest, the group of those previously reaching this achievement.

However, procrastination almost prevented him from taking flight with the Eagle Scouts, but his family was there to help nudge him off the ledge.

“I was in eighth grade and could have gotten Eagle Scout. I thought with high school ahead of me I’d have plenty of time, but I got busy with school and lived with my grandparents in Minnesota over the last few summers and worked up there, so I couldn’t stay involved with scouting,” Barnes said.

His family didn’t want him

Eagle Scouts must earn at least 21 merit badges of the more than 100 available, 13 of which are required. These include first aid; citizenship in the community, nation and world; communications; personal fitness; personal management; camping; cooking; and family life. In addition, a scout has choices between emergency preparedness and lifesaving; cycling, hiking,and swimming; and environmental science and sustainability.

His two favorite merit badges to earn were for shotgun shooting and snow sports. To earn a merit badge, a scout must demonstrate knowledge of basic concepts, along with identifying the potential hazards, how to prevent them and also how to be prepared in case of an emergency.

His least favorite badge to earn was for cooking.

“I got that last. They changed the requirements and made cooking one that you had to get. When I came back to scouting, I had six months to complete every-

to let all his previous work be set aside though and were instrumental in guiding him back to the path.

“I knew I had to get it done, and my family kept asking when I was going to get Eagle. I was always thinking I had a year or more to finish it. There was a lot of paperwork I didn’t want to do, so I kept laying it off.

Then I went to a meeting and was told about the time requirements I had to meet, so I could still say I was involved. I had to go to every meeting until my 18th birthday; that got me going, and I rushed to complete everything,” Barnes said.

He then laughed and said, “It was pretty much my family getting on my butt about getting it done that really helped.”

The Eagle Scout Award was introduced in the 1911 Handbook for Boys, the first publicly available edition of the BSA handbook.

thing, including cooking. I was really rushed. You have to be able to feed at least four people. I had a lot of deer, so I cut it up and made a shish-kebob over the campsite fire and at a different camp I made a chocolate cherry cobbler in a cast iron pot and also some breakfast sandwiches using hobo irons,” Barnes said.

Not every boy who joins a Boy Scout troop earns the Eagle Scout rank. According to the BSA, only about 5 percent of all scouts do so.

This represents more than 1.7 million scouts who have earned the distinction since 1912.

Barnes’ community service project was to paint the fire hydrants in Hollowayville. He was assisted by students from St. Bede and fellow scouts from Princeton Scout Troop 1063. Six volunteers prepped the hydrants and another six traveled behind and painted while Barnes coordinated and managed the project.

Barnes will be attending North Dakota State Univer-

Eagle Scout Chandler Barnes sity to work toward a degree in mechanical engineering.

While there, he’ll be joining the Army’s Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) and plans to eventually work with the Army Corps of Engineers.

Will he continue to a part of the BSA? “I still go to the meetings, and I’m a leader now, but I’m going off to college. When I’m done I plan to join another troop and be a leader there.”

Barnes has some advice for younger scouts hoping to

become Eagle Scouts.

“Stay committed, go to the meetings, bunker down and get it done. Don’t say you have time because it catches up to you ... don’t wait,” Barnes advised. “(Scouting) gets you involved in the community, and you learn a lot of life skills. There are all these things, little tricks I’ve been starting to notice I know ... all because of scouting,” he said.

IMEA grants From Page 1 “These funds help all of us complete our jobs and provide the best services we can for our citizens,” Campbell said.

While monies granted through the EMPG help sustain the local agencies, many will say there are still aspects of the program that still needs funding.

Connie Brooks, director of LaSalle County EMA, explained while the EMPG is meant to cover a maximum of 50 percent of the day-to-day business operations, since 2011, the monies LaSalle County has received only covers, at most, 25 percent of eligible administrative costs for which has been applied.

“While emergency management agencies are grateful for what grant funding they receive through EMPG, the grants only cover a fraction of total costs incurred by local jurisdic-

PRINCETON — Several adults are picking up the crayons to help relieve stress these days.

Whether it be tension from the everyday grind or chronic strain over a serious traumatic event in one’s life — adult coloring is becoming a more favored way to help release steam.

The trend has proven to be so beneficial that many psychiatrists are even prescribing the activity to their patients. It’s been said coloring takes adults back to a more simple time when they didn’t have as many responsibilities, and it was an activity done for pure joy.

Walk into any big retailer story or craft shop and most likely there will be a rack filled with all different kinds of themed adult coloring books. The pages offer a more difficult skill in coloring compared to children’s coloring books, however nonetheless, they offer the same entertaining, creative outlet.

Many local libraries have caught on to this fad and are now providing adult coloring therapy sessions for their patrons.

At the LaMoille-Clarion Public Library, Director Joyce Sondgeroth hosts Therapy Thursdays from 1 to 4 p.m. During this time, patrons can go to the library, where all kinds of coloring materials are provided to anyone who wishes to kick back and relax.

The session gets patrons out of their homes and gives them the opportunity to sit and chat with neigh-

tions with continually rising operational costs,” she said.

In Putnam County, Chauntelle Biagi-Bruer, assistant coordinator for the county’s EMA, also pointed out how the grant cannot be used for disaster or response items.

“For example, if we have to use our generator for a disaster, we can not use this grant to pay for fuel or repairs for the generator, or travel to take the generator to the disaster location,” she said.

The money in Putnam County is currently being used to pay items such as coordinator and assistant coordinator’s salaries, utilities for the EMA building, travel expenses, tower space for radio repeaters, preparedness ads in local newspapers and the new radio communications paging system and installation that had to be replaced.

“This grant only covers 50 percent of these items and only up to $15,508.71. This money is not going to cover 50 percent of all of the items listed above,” she said.

bors or just enjoy a peaceful afternoon at the library.

Sondgeroth got the idea earlier in the year while searching for new programs to provide at the library.

She said while online, she noticed several options for coloring books and realized how big the trend had grown. After reading about the benefits, she decided to offer the therapy session to patrons.

She said many have caught on to the program.

Sometimes there is a group of people who show up, and sometimes no one attends the sessions. Sondgeroth said no matter how big or small the group is, the option is always there for anyone who needs the time to decompress after a long day.

Karen Carlson, LaMoille’s library aide, is one who nabbed onto the trend. She purchased a coloring book this past winter and decided to try it out. She said it was a great way to pass time and keep her mind busy on those long, cold evenings.

Carlson said she always colored growing up and continued to do it with her

children and grandchildren.

She said it was a great activity to do while spending time with the children and helped fulfill her creative outlet.

When thinking about the benefits of coloring, Carlson said because of the way it keeps the mind busy and helps with focus and concentration, she believes people who like jigsaw or Sudoku puzzle would also enjoy picking up a coloring book.

At the Ladd Public Library, Director Amy Galetti-Bosi is trying to start-up an adult coloring club in her area, as well. Right now, she has established hours for when patrons can go to the library and try out the coloring sessions. The club meets from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays and from 5 to 7 p.m.

Wednesday.

Bosi said while the club is new and patrons are still catching on to the idea, she would love to see more patrons attend the sessions.

She said the library is trying out different clubs to attract more people to the library.

break, but she found only a few would bring them back completed.

“I think part of it is there are so many camps and games scheduled kids just don’t have the time or interest to complete the packets, and I feel the local libraries supply support through story hours and reading activities,” she said, adding parents play their part through enlisting their children in summer sports and taking them on family vacations.

“Simple activities like walking in the park, fishing, throwing rocks in a lake, all involve teachable science opportunities. On vacations, kids can read maps, signs, billboards, etc. and learn important social studies/reading concepts.”

Scruggs said there are learning opportunities during the summer break, but adults in the community need to leave their agendas out of the conversation and let the child’s mind grow through guided exploration and personal discovery. Every child has different outlets, so forcing them to learn something they have no interest in may result in the opposite effect than originally intended.

Wilcoxen said modern children see family units that are blended — causing them to travel frequently from one household to another — as well as parents working long shifts at multiple jobs.

The children are involved in more extra-curricular activities, so the downtime is needed to regroup during summer … but only if that downtime is complimented by family interaction and human connection, Wilcoxen added.

“In our multi-media world today, we have lost important family connections because everyone is wired to some electronic device and the act of talking to children is diminishing,” Wilcoxen said, full of the belief that although technological skills are definitely useful in the world today, technology shouldn’t be used as the sole source of instruction. “I feel human conversation is invaluable in teaching children important skills, and summer is the perfect time to use conversation to teach and learn new things that perhaps can’t be learned in school.”

Scruggs believes the workload is adequate but the delivery system, and the timing of that delivery, could be tweaked for the better. The thing that can be changed is how administration promotes the

application of learning, as to positively — rather than negatively — enhance the student’s individual feelings about the learning environment.

“I encourage the students at the end of the year to write. Writing is a phenomenal outlet that deepens personal awareness and strengthens the individual skill deployment, which enables continued personal growth,” he said, stating individuals learn in ways teachers cannot predict or target. “Writing releases academic inhibitions and allows the student to find his or her voice.”

Wilcoxen said she starts hitting it hard after Christmas break to prepare her third-graders for fourth grade, and constantly focuses on getting her students to read.

“I feel reading is the key to success in any grade level, so I push it as much as I can … reading contests, volunteers reading in the classroom, reading orally to my students and having them read at home for pleasure,” she said, adding even math involves a lot of reading now. “If a child can read well, chances are he or she will do well in school.”

Children … and the adults who care for them … are always going to look forward and sprint to the finish line each school year because refueling is imperative to being both a good student and an effective educator, but Scruggs is just not convinced a three-month break makes the best sense.

“Weeks, yes, but months are tough. We lose the ability to function in learning environments and then spend valuable time learning how to learn instead of just exploring the next concept,” he said. “If the public education system realigned the breaks to eliminate large gaps, it is my belief that students, teachers and parents would benefit from a more defined and consistent schedule.

Did Wilcoxen take this job decades back for the summer vacations? She admitted it was a definite perk, but the main reason she became a teacher was her true affection for the intellectual and emotional encouragement she supplies each student who has ever graced her classroom.

“Teachers were so important in my childhood, so I realize the impact both good and bad a teacher can have on a child,” she concluded. “I am always amazed at the way they are like little sponges that soak in so many things you expose them to, and I guess I just want to be that teacher that they will never forget!”

“I think we need to let the police officers do their job, and we need to get out of the mindset of offending somebody. Bring God back to schools; start respecting our flag again; obey the Constitution; obey the laws of the land. We have just lost respect, and it needs to come back.”

From the editor’s desk I hope many of you had the opportunity to attend the 2016 Relay for Life of Bureau County, which was held Saturday at Zearing Park in Princeton. This is really an inspirational event, where you always see all kinds of courage, tender moments and plenty of fun. The purpose of the event is to raise money for cancer research and to help with outreach programs for cancer survivors and their caregivers. I would venture to say every one of us have been touched by cancer in one way of another; it’s never too late to dig down deep into your pockets and donate to this worthy cause.

••• The annual DePue PRO National Boat Races appeared to make another big splash this past weekend in DePue. What a wonderful event! Sponsored by the DePue Men’s Club, I’m always amazed at how well this event is orchestrated, not to mention all the folks who come out to participate Terri Simon and watch — people from all over the country. The proceeds from the event go toward a variety of projects in DePue. Hats off to the DePue Men’s Club for such a fun-filled activity that encompasses the entire village and beyond.

••• It’s difficult to believe July 2016 is just a memory.

Wow! It won’t be long until school is back in session, the Bureau County Fair rolls into town and the Homestead Festival finds its way back to Princeton. Wow. The older I get ... the quicker time flies.

This weekend, plan to attend the Manlius Fun Day event and Pow Wow Days in Tiskilwa. Both villages have a plethora of activities planned, and I know they will appreciate your attendance.

••• I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who submitted a nomination for our annual Women of Distinction Award. The nominating period ended yesterday (Monday) at 5 p.m. As always, I am impressed with the number and quality of these nominations. Thank you so much.

You’ll want to mark your calendars for Tuesday, Oct. 25, which is the date we’ve set for our annual Women of Distinction Awards luncheon at Hornbaker Gardens in Princeton. I’ll be announcing our keynote speaker soon, so watch for those details. As always, I think you are really going to enjoy the day, so please mark your calendars now. By the way ... cheesecake is on the menu again!

••• Just a reminder: Letters to the Editor should be 500 words or less. Our policy is only one letter on the same topic can be submitted every 30 days. If you have questions, please give me a call at 815-875-4461, ext. 6330, or email me at tsimon@bcrnews.com. Please include a telephone number and your hometown with your Letter to the Editor submission. We will not publish the telephone number, however, we do publish your hometown. The telephone number is needed to verify the authenticity of your letter. Also, only one name or a married couple’s name is allowed to sign a Letter to the Editor, although one person can sign a letter on behalf of a group.

••• Did you watch the Republican/Democrat National Conventions? Wow! I don’t remember so much theatrics in previous conventions. This will be an interesting political season. Now is the time to do your homework to choose the best candidate to move our nation forward.

••• A few years back, we opened up a baking contest to everyone in Bureau County. It was a ton of fun, and a ton of work ... but I think everyone enjoyed it. I’ve had a few requests from folks who said they wish we would conduct another baking contest. What do you think?

If you’d like to participate, send me an email to let me know you are interested at tsimon@bcrnews.com.

Thanks.

••• There’s something about August that tends to make me a bit melancholy. I think it still stems from years ago, when I knew my summer vacation was drawing to a close. I hope you’ll take some time in the next few weeks to enjoy the remaining days of summer with family and friends. Relax. Breathe. Exhale. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR. BCR Editor Terri Simon can be reached at tsimon@ bcrnews.com.

What are your thoughts about all of the recent police incidents around the country?

“Our nation as a whole needs to start seeing each other with eyes of love, respecting those in authority and working together at bringing this nation back to peace. I have so respected the Dallas Police chief throughout that incident. Both he and the mother of a victim have been total class acts under the worst pressure, calling for the killing to stop from all sides.”

Dana VanAutreve, Tiskilwa “I think that just like any other profession, police officers need to be held accountable for their actions. People need to feel like they can count on the police to be fair and just, and to protect and serve.

Accountability and consequences need to apply. There is no room for corruption. Nobody is above the law. Violence against the police is not the answer. Two wrongs don’t make a right. The bloodshed needs to stop on both sides.”

Laraina Wempe, Princeton “Where is the respect? Both sides, whether it be the police or civilians, have lost respect for each other. People are on edge, and some are taking advantage of the times and using this to create problems for everyone. If we went back to treating our neighbors like we would like to be treated and treating everyone with respect, we would start to see change. It’s a movement; one that starts with each and every one of us.”

Jonathan Pinter, Princeton “The police officers aren’t the bad guys, and people shouldn’t target the profession as a whole based on the actions of a few. Skin color is not a factor, and officers only go after individuals breaking the law.”

Josh Janssen, Princeton

First Person Fred Eggers Town: Princeton.

Occupation: Cart superintendent at Wyaton Hills Golf Course for more than 20 years.

Favorite music: I like a lot of music and the concerts on Main Street.

If you met a genie who granted you one wish, what would you wish for: To keep working at the golf course.

PAC announces first fall gallery presentation Rachel Brisbois will be featured Aug. 12-Sept. 4 PRINCETON — The Prairie Arts Council has announced its first fall gallery presentation of 2016, “Illinois Scenes and Other Inspirations”

by Rachel Brisbois, from Aug. 12 to Sept. 4.

Brisbois is a self-taught artist born in Chicago. She inherited much of her creativity from her family’s

diverse and extensive artistic history.

Her aim is to paint thought-provoking subjects that beautify an otherwise transparent world.

Although she dabbles in various mediums, her paintbrush finds comfort in acrylic paints and ink. She prefers the fast-drying nature of acrylic but enjoys the diluted blending that power ink renders.

Brisbois appreciates the methodical approach of yesterday’s artists.

She usually finds her inspiration in the works of classical artists such as

Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Leonardo Da Vinci. She has shown her work at the Ottawa Art League, August Hill Winery, The Paint Box Gallery and many more. Rachel is also a member of the Ottawa Art League. She lives in Wenona.

An opening reception will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 12, at the Prairie Arts Center Gallery, 24 Park Ave. East, Princeton.

Making a Splash

Bosnich, hometown son, finishes strong at DePue

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

DEPUE — Paul Bosnich III didn’t win a national championship in his hometown lake over the weekend.

But he felt like he did.

Bosnich shrugged off a rough weekend and month of bad breaks on the water by winning the final heat of the 350cc Runabout to place third overall. It was like his own little championship.

“Getting third today almost felt like Paul getting the win after Bosnich III the month we’ve had,” Bosnich said. “I think coming into today, we might have finished two heats in the last three races we’ve been to this month. … Especially that final heat getting the win, that really felt like I won the championship. I just want to be able to run, be competitive. That’s all I wanted to do, be competitive and get a chance.”

Bosnich said it was crucial to get off to such a fast start in the third heat.

“I’ve been practicing my starts all season long,” he said. “I know in the two classes I race, you got to be there

Tim Small of Lighthouse Point, Fla., made a big splash at DePue over the weekend with three national titles in the DePue PRO National Boat Races. Small won his third title here Sunday in the 350 Runabout.

Nydahl divine at DePue

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

DEPUE — Amy Nydahl was asked if she could walk on water. She sure walked all over it in the DePue PRO National Boat races over the weekend.

The Bristol, Wis., native won four national championships at Lake DePue, capped by two titles Sunday, July 31. She won the final heat of the 250 Hydro in a photo finish and followed up with a win in the 1100 Hydro capsule boats Sunday. On Saturday, July 30, Nydahl raced away with the 350cc Hydro and 700 national championships.

Nydahl, 23, was still trying to take it all in at the end of the day Sunday.

“I’m still in shock a little bit,” said Nydahl, who now resides in Georgia. “I came in really wanting to either win like the 350 or 250. I’ve been chasing those titles forever.

To walk away with both of those plus top Hydro (1100cc), plus 700 is so surreal.

“I don’t know how I got that lucky.”

Nydahl said the 250 hydro was definitely the hardest race to win.

“That was a toss-up between so many people,” she said. “There was a lot of boats out there running really close. So going into it, I was like, if I just place I’ll be happy, because that was a stellar group of boats

out there and drivers. They’re all excellent.

That title really meant a lot.

“It was awesome. It was pretty dang cool.”

Nydahl, 22, who has been racing for 14 years, now has 10 national titles, but had never won more than two in one weekend.

It’s safe to say boat racing comes naturally to Nydahl. She is a third generation racer following the wake of her father, Pete, and her grandfather, Ray. Her brother, Kurtis, also raced at DePue over the weekend.

“We both started when we were nine,” Nydahl said of her brother. “My dad’s friends in the tunnel boats, the Formula Ones. So I grew up every summer going to those races and lived for it. As soon as I could start racing myself, I did. My dad got

“Before my dad, my grandpa raced, so it’s really a family affair. And my mom helps out here at the judge’s stand, so we’re all involved in the sport.”

Nydahl and her brother went head to head in the 250 Hydro, and she said it’s all a friendly rivalry. He was primed to take the title after placing first and second, but stalled in the third heat.

Notes From Page 11

Nydahl From Page 11 “We support each other fully and everything. We both have a lot of fun. We just want each other to succeed on the water,” Amy Nydahl said.

“He should have had that 250 Hydro win today, but unfortunately things went sour with his engine so I was there to take the title.”

Nydahl gives all the credit to her pit crew.

“I’ve just got some amazing mechanics,” she said. “My dad is our crew chief. He does all my engine work. makes sure everything is running, did a lot of testing this weekend to dial everything in. Of course, I have an amazing rig in the capsule boat I run for the Thirlbys. This is the fifth year I’ve been running the capsule boat for them and they’ve just been great, providing me with amazing equipment, just being there for me and everything.”

So you can’t be back. You gotta be up at the start.

You’ve got to run with the first turn. I got a good start that third heat. I knew what needed to be done to get up on the podium.”

Bosnich gives all the credit to his pit crew.

“I can’t say enough about my guys down in the pits,” he said. “They deserve the praise. I’m just the monkey behind the wheel.”

Helping hand

The duo of Andrew Thirlby and Ashley Rucker of Michigan claimed the 1100cc Runabout in the competition which includes a deck rider.

Thirlby was behind the wheel with Rucker providing a helping hand inside the boat.

“You just kinda sit there. Sometimes you tap him on the shoulder when the one-minute gun goes off. Mainly you just trip to help him turn the boat, because there’s so much power and speed,” Rucker said.

Thirlby said the keys to the win was pretty simple.

“Finishing three heats,

helped push him over the top. “(We did some) thrashing testing right to the last minute and found a few more miles per hour at the end and it worked out well for us,” he said. “Got some OK starts, drove decently well, I think, got three heat wins. So it was awesome.”

Are you looking forward to the Olympics in Rio? It’s time for YOU to get in on the fun in your backyard or neighborhood park. Most of the events on this page work for two or more players. So, invite some friends to join you at The Kid Scoop Backyard Games!

Somersaults can make you dizzy! Help this kid find his way to the finish line.

(Be sure to pick up all the little water balloon pieces after the event!)

Draw four squares on your patio or the sidewalk. Draw a large numeral 1 in the first box, a large 3 in the second box, a large 5 in the third box and a large 7 in the fourth square.

Stuff you need: • water balloons • sidewalk chalk

From a good distance away, each player throws four water balloons, trying to score the most points.

If your balloon lands in the box marked 1, you get one point, score three points for the box marked 3 and so on.

Standards Link: Physical Education: Eye hand coordination.

Find the two identical girls. Look carefully!

Stuff you need: • At least 4 players • 1 person to judge • Boom box

Choose one person to be the judge. Divide everyone else into teams of two. One person on each team is the stander; the other is the shadow.

The judge turns on the music, and each stander moves to the music, while Standards Link: Reading Comprehension: Follow multiple step directions to play a game. her shadow tries to make the same movements. When the judge stops the music, everyone freezes.

If the stander and the shadow are not in Can you find identical positions, they’re each object’s Crumple one sheet of newspaper out.

Before each throw, spin around three times!

Stuff you need: • plastic flying disc or coffee can lid • empty box or laundry basket

Decide on a start and a finish line on a patch of grass. Then, somersault like a bike wheel as you race towards the finish line!

Place the box or basket on one side of the yard.

Each player takes a turn trying to throw the disc into it from 10 steps away. After everyone has had a turn, try throwing from 30 steps away. Score 10 points for each successful throw.

Have left-handers throw with their right hands and right-handers throw with their left hands.

Platter Patterns: Draw the disc that comes next in each row below.

Reading Racers

Choose a long article in the newspaper. Read it for 60 seconds.

Then have a friend read it for 60 seconds. Each of you write down the who, what, when, where and why in the article as best as you can remember.

Then, read the article aloud and see who got the most right.

Standards Link: Reading Comprehension: Respond to who, what, when, where and why questions; identify the main idea and supporting details in expository reading.

Standards Link: Math/Probability: Extend simple patterns.

Standards Link: Students identify physical and mental practices that support or enhance health and understand the interdependence of both.
