A record-setting July Now ... what will our winter be like?

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — It may not come as much of a surprise to area residents, but the month of July is going down in the record books for its cool temperatures.

Illinois State Climatologist Jim Angel announced the statewide average temperature for July was 70.3 degrees, which ties the record for the coolest July set back in 2009. However, the July 2014 average temperature is based on preliminary data, so it is very likely the tie with 2009 will

be broken as more data arrive, Angel said.

As a side note, Angel said the warmest July in Illinois was set in 1936, which averaged 82.8 degrees.

Following closely was July 2012 which recorded an average of 81.8 degrees as a high temperature for the month.

“In just six years, Illinoisans have experienced

the second warmest and twice the coldest July on record,” Angel said.

More locally, WQAD News Channel 8 Chief Meteorologist James Zahara said it looks like the Quad Cities area, which includes Bureau County, will actually tie for its third coolest July on record. In 1891, the Quad Cities had its coolest July

with an average of 69.2 degrees, followed by 2009 with an average of 69.3 degrees and then July 2014, at an average of 70.1 degrees.

More EAB confirmations

The destructive Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) has been confirmed in Peoria and Tazewell counties, raising the number of infested Illinois counties to 36.

The Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) recently announced the detections occurred in residential areas. In Peoria County, arborists discovered the beetle first near Dunlap, and then subsequently in Peoria. In Tazewell, IDOA staff made the find in Minier using surveillance traps.

The EAB is a small, metallic-green beetle native to Asia. Its larvae burrow into the bark of ash trees, causing the trees to starve and eventually die. Since the first detection of the pest near Detroit, Mich., in 2002, it has killed an estimated 250 million ash trees.

Warren Goetsch, IDOA Bureau Chief of Environmental Programs, said the finds are significant because they occurred outside the boundaries of the state quarantine that were established to prevent the spread of the beetle.

“Until now, all the new infestations this year — in Carroll, Stephenson and Vermilion counties — were within the quarantine area, and therefore, didn’t require any boundary changes,” Goetsch said.

According to a press release issued by the IDOA, the quarantine currently includes 49 Illinois counties and is intended to prevent the artificial or “humanassisted” spread of the beetle through the movement of potentally-infested wood and nursery stock.

er-than-usual August?

Zahara said probably not.

“Given the flow that we’ve experienced in July is not expected to change for most of August, I will be surprised if we reach at or over 90 degrees again during that period, but we will see,” the meteorologist said.

All guest musicians will perform at both the Saturday evening and the Sunday afternoon shows. The cost for the Saturday evening performance is $17.50 per person, which includes a lawn social prior to the show, or $100 for a row of six seats.

The cost for the Sunday concert is $10 per person. “it’s really hard to believe how very talented all these people are, and the fact that they are all Bureau County natives,” Nelson said. “We hear good music

Relay for Life raises $30,000

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com.

SPRING VALLEY — It may have been a smaller crowd Friday night at the annual Relay for Life — Bureau County, but according to Tanya Huntington of the American Cancer Society, it was a mighty crowd and a moving experience.

Prior to the event, Huntington has explained she expected the annual American Cancer Society’s (ACS) Relay for Life to be a smaller event. She deemed this year’s event as a “rebuilding year,” since there had been management changes at the ACS. “The crowd was down, but it was expected,” Huntington said on Monday.

“It wasn’t terrible though.

Huntington said the number of teams were down also. She said 13 teams had signed up to

They said, ‘We want to do something. We want to make sure this event goes

on in Bureau County.’”

Huntington said. “I think the future looks really promising.”

Huntington said the event itself took in about $10,000. Coupled with the money that had already

been turned in, she said the grand total for the night was about $30,000.

“While that total is down, I still appreciate all the people who dug down deep,” Huntington said.

“It was really nice to see that the people who did come out really did support (the cause). People for next year are already really excited. We just don’t want to see it go away.”

So plans are already underway for the 2015 Relay for Life. Huntington said she expects to continue rebuilding and growing the event, and she also anticipates seeing more participation throughout the entire county.

Hall High School in Spring Valley hosted the Relay for Life, and Huntington said the staff went above and beyond to help make the event run smoothly.

‘Take me out to the ball game’

EAB From Page 1

The Princeton Park District summer campers attended a Clinton Lumberkings baseball game on July 28.

There were all kinds of stations set up around the park for the children to have fun, including a dunk tank, coloring station, bounce house and more. At one of the other stations, they had a radar gun that picked up the speed of a pitch. One of the campers, Cale Wallace, and one of the counselors, Abby Jaques, both won their age groups; the prize was a free ticket to a home Clinton Lumberkings game. The kids got autographs and their picture taken with the team’s mascot, Louie the Lumberking. After the game, the campers got to go out on the field and run the bases.

Master Farmer Hilding Allen Allen: ‘You darn need to be a millionaire to get started’

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

Editor’s note: The following story is another in the series on Bureau County’s Master Farmers.

PRINCETON — When discussing achievements in his farming career, Hilding Allen touches on family.

Watching his son and son-in-law having carried on, and even expended the family farm operation, gives a sense a pride to him that can’t be overlooked when referring to the successes.

The Allen farm has been in continuous corn production for more than 50 years, and it had the second hog confinement operation in Bureau County.

Allen was born and raised on the farm, and after high school, he decided to head off to college, uncertain of what he would study.

Throughout time, however, Allen found himself

back at the farm, following in the footsteps of his father, who was settling into retirement.

“At the time, it was the easiest thing to do, and now looking back it was the right thing to do,” he said. “Things would have been different if it hadn’t been for the family farm.”

Allen admits, if the option of farming wouldn’t have been at his fingertips, he would have never ended up a farmer.

Allen gradually took over the farm in 1948, and in 1986 he was awarded the Prairie Farmer Master Farmer title.

Comparing the times of what farming was like when he first started out to what it’s like today, Allen chuckles at the thought of all the new advancements and farming methods now available for the farmer.

“There’s more things coming out everyday than there used to be in a year,” he said. “Maybe I’m glad I’m not farming today because equipment and methods are so much different than years ago. I’m

Hilding Allen a better observer now than I would be if I had to be doing it.”

Allen can still remember when a two-row corn picker was big deal.

“Now they’ve got the 8- and 12-row equipment and all different sorts of seed varieties. It’s a lot to keep up with,” he said.

When thinking about the future of farming, Allen admits he doesn’t worry too much about the future.

“I imagine the farms will continue to get bigger yet ... 160-acres used to be a great crop for one family, and now it’s just a start, really,” he said.

“I don’t know where the end will be, but I imagine it will come. We can only expand so much.”

And as for the family farm, Allen is hopeful it will not become a thing of the past.

“I think there will always be a family individual or several people of the family that will continue to head an operation. There’s no way to be sure about that, but even big operations, most anyway, have a family as a core, and I think it will stay that way,” he said.

Looking at young farmers, Allen is a firm believer that those who are seeking a career in farming must have either an agricultural or financial background to be successful.

“You just can’t say, ‘I want to be a farmer,’” he explained. “It’s different than it used to be.

You darn need to be a millionaire to get started. Just the cost of those combines today — we would have retired if we had that much money back in the day.”

Although the boundaries officially haven’t been redrawn, Goetsch has encouraged residents to put the quarantine guidelines into practice by making sure not to transport any firewood or untreated wood products outside their county of origin.

“I’d also encourage them to identify the trees on their property, and if ash are present, be proactive in managing them through treatment or removal. Tree companies, villages and cities should familiarize themselves with the rules and regulations pertaining to the processing and transporting of ash materials,” Goetsch said.

As previous reported in the BCR, local arborists Dennis Taylor, who identified an adult EAB in Princeton in June, said being proactive about the issue is key. He confirmed there are effective and proven suppression techniques for EAB. He said leaving the ash to fend for itself or thinking EAB won’t destroy is a certain death sentence to the trees. He recommended contacting an arborist as soon as possible to assess the property.

The counties under current quarantine are

Gebeck graduated from Illinois Wesleyan University with a major in music education and spent two years teaching in the Western School District.

He now lives in Chicago and owns an event planning business, Advance Event Group. Gebeck returns to Bureau County frequently to perform and accompany, which he will do at the talent showcase.

• David Mills was born and raised in Princeton and is a Princeton High School graduate.

From an early age, he remembers watching his father, Eric Mills, perform throughout the state. He (David) has released two Extended Play records and one full-length record, with another record scheduled for release later this year. He plays acoustic guitar and sings with the Peoria-based band, Long Ladder Home.

Mills works at Heartland Bank and Trust in Princeton and is the son of Sara Hudson and Eric Mills.

Jennifer is a graduate of Princeton High School and Illinois State University, with a degree in music therapy. She has a master’s degree in opera performance from the University of Las Vegas.

She performed extensively on the West Coast before moving back to Chicago, where she now teaches music and performs in small groups as a soloist. Her daughter, Morgan, has been singing for years and recently won a talent show in the Chicago area. She will be singing “Tomorrow” from the “Annie” musical and also “Let It Go” from the Frozen movie.

• Kaufmann grew up in Tiskilwa in a family that traveled and sang. A 1976 graduate of Tiskilwa High School, Kaufmann is a graduate of Goshen College and Lewis University, Summa Cum Laude and an MBA graduate of Lewis University.

He is the administrator at Greenfield Retirement Home in Princeton. For the past several years, Kaufmann has traveled America performing the “Cotton Patch Gospel” as a solo presentation.

Through those presentations, he has raised more than $50,000 for hunger relief.

Looking ahead to this weekend, Nelson said the Homestead Talent Showcase will be a great time for people to come out and enjoy some amazingly good music, performed by Bureau County natives, and to help support the annual Homestead Festival weekend.

Parents need to include emergency preparedness in back-to-school plans SPRINGFIELD — School bells soon will be ringing as students across the state begin the new school year.

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) is joining with local emergency management agencies throughout Illinois during August to encourage families to include emergency preparedness in their back-to-school plans.

“No one likes to think about the possibility of an emergency happening while children are in school or at daycare,” said IEMA Director Jonathon Monken.

“But as we saw with the May 2013 tornadoes in Moore, Oklahoma and other incidents, it can happen.

A few minutes of your time now can help you and your child deal with emergencies that may occur during the school day.”

Monken offered several back-to-school planning tips for parents of school-aged children, including: • Know your child’s school or day care emergency plan.

• Find out where children will be taken in the event of an evacuation during school hours.

• Ensure your emergency contact information is upto-date at your child’s school.

• Pre-authorize a friend or relative to pick up your children in an emergency, and make sure the school knows who that designated person is.

• Have a family communications plan and review the plan periodically with your child. The plan should include contact information for an out-of-area family member or friend, since local telephone networks may not work during a major disaster.

Many college campuses offer email and text messages to alert students of potential dangers, such as severe weather and other threats. The Bureau County Republican offers this service — bcralerts. You can sign up for this service free of charge at www.bcrnews. com. Encourage your high school or college student to sign-up for such alerts. Some colleges also provide alert messages for parents so they also are aware of potential dangers at their child’s school.

Additional preparedness information is available on the Ready Illinois website at www.Ready.Illinois.gov.

We planted four cherry/grape tomato plants, and the results are crazy. We’ve eaten more tomatoes in the past week than I think I’ve consumed in my entire life, plus we’ve shared with family and friends. The bigger tomatoes are a bit slower, but they are arriving too.

There’s nothing better at this time of the year than a BLT (made with Wyanet Locker bacon and fresh-from-the-garden tomatoes), and that definitely takes the Terri hassle out of deciding what to cook for Simon dinner!

••• It’s such a busy time of the year ... I hope you are able to take some time for yourself and those you love. Light a couple of citronella candles to keep the mosquitoes away and sit a spell on the porch or patio. Close your eyes and listen to nature’s symphony around you. Breathe. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

“Yes, I’m hoping there will be a cure for cancer.

Hopefully they’ll be able to isolate the cell in which the cancer starts.”

Headlines from the past Hold on to your hats and buckle up, my friends. Here we go for another ride in our time travel machine to the past with another edition of “Headlines from the past.”

BCR Aug. 23, 1923. A short history lesson might be in order before this article is presented. Prohibition began in the United States on Jan. 17, 1920, and lasted until Dec. 5, 1933. Hence, it was illegal to manufacture, sell, store or transport alcohol or alcoholic beverages during this period in U.S. history.

Moonshine Pete Dankazas who was charged with transporting liquor did not appear in court Monday morning. His lawyer explained Pete was in the hospital for a minor operation. Moonshine Pete had been arrested a few months ago in Hollowayville carrying 40 gallons of moonshine in his Buick. Ben Wallwin of Spring Valley was also recently convicted of selling liquor.

This is a follow up to the last story dated Aug. 30, 1923 BCR. The trial of Moonshine Pete Dankazas has been put off indefinitely. Dankazas is in St. Mary’s Hospital in LaSalle recuperating from surgery. Ben Wallwin was given 60 days in jail when he was denied a new trial by the judge. He is also to pay a $500 fine.

Todd Borsch COMMENTARY

BCR April 26, 1900. In Tiskilwa news, Ed May and his wife have returned from Chicago. They had intended on moving their place of residence there, but the artificial lights affected Mr. May’s eyes.

BCR April 26, 1900. Headlines read “Fight On Election Night.”

School elections in Ladd turned into a riot of sorts. The winners of the election were at Lechner’s saloon celebrating their victory. The celebration soon came to an end when the victors were attacked by the sympathizers of the defeated gang. Clubs, chairs, stones and knives were used in the attacks.

Many of the men involved are now wearing bandages, and one man has his arm in a sling.

BCR, “Piano Scheme Fails,” March 15, 1900. Three agents arrived in Princeton recently and set about recruiting merchants from town for what was later to be exposed as a scheme. A piano presented by the three men as worth the sum of $400 was used

as the bait. The idea was that the merchants would pay the agents $2 for the next 16 weeks. With this remuneration came the privilege of participating in a voting contest. The patrons of each business involved would be allowed to vote for the local society to which the piano would be donated. The number of ballots each patron received was determined by the amount of money spent in each establishment. O.H. Pitkin, a local jeweler and president of the YMCA , when approached with the prospect, did some investigation into the matter.

He told the three agents to return the next morning, and he would give them his answer whether or not he would participate. When the three men returned, Pitkin was ready. Pitkin had found out the piano was worth only $110. A total of 15 local merchants had agreed to participate in the venture, and the three agents would collect the sum of $480. The three agents then offered Mr. Pitkin $150 in hush money in which Pitkin then declined. The three men were last seen taking to the woods. The piano was made by the Schiller Piano Co. of Oregon.

UMC upsets top-seeded St. Matthew’s in church league BCR Sports Staff sports@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Four teams remain alive in the 2014 Princeton Church League fastpitch softball tournament.

Top-seeded St. Matthew’s was upset 5-3 Friday night by United Methodist Church. UMC’s center fielder Dylan Olson made a game-saving catch by the scoreboard in Westside Park to preserve the two-run win for winning pitcher Rex Lasson. Brad Snethen was the losing pitcher for St. Matthew’s, who had won the league’s regular season with a

8-1 mark.

Bunker Hill defeated Bureau Township 10-7 Friday night behind winning pitcher Adam Gutshall. Jeremy House took the loss for Bureau Township.

Saturday night action in the losers’ bracket saw St. Matthew’s come back to defeat People Church 24-2 in a game called in the third inning. Chris Waca took the win for St. Matthew’s, while Randy Shipp took the loss for People Church, which ended its season.

Jeremy House helped his own cause in Saturday’s nightcap by getting on base five times and helping his Bureau

Township team defeat Princeton Bible Church 12-6. House has been battling a cut on his index finger on his pitching hand.

Princeton Bible Church had battled back from deficits of 3-0 in the third inning, and 5-2 in the fourth inning to tie the game n the fifth inning on a Garey Driscoll three-run homer.

PBC took a 6-5 lead in the sixth inning only to see Bureau Township come back with seven runs in the bottom of the inning to account for the six-run win. PBC didn’t score in the last inning and saw its season come to a close.

Bureau Township will now play St. Matthew’s at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the losers’ bracket, while Methodist will play Bunker Hill at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the winners’ bracket.

Tuesday’s winner between Methodist and Bunker Hill will advance to Saturday’s championship game. The winner of Bureau Township-St. Matthew’s game will face the loser of the Methodist-Bunker Hill game at 7 p.m.

High school baseball teams may use in-game video INDIANAPOLIS — Beginning with the 2015 high school baseball season, teams will be allowed to use video monitoring or replay equipment for coaching purposes during games.

This revision to Rule 3-3-1 was one of five changes recommended by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Baseball Rules Committee at its June 8-10 meeting in Indianapolis.

The committee’s recommendations were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors.

Previously, video equipment was permitted but it could not be used during games for coaching purposes.

“With advancements in technology, it was extremely difficult for officials to determine if teams were using video

replay during games,” said Elliot Hopkins, NFHS director of sports and educational services and liaison to the Baseball Rules Committee.

“The committee determined it was the right time to permit teams to use these technological aids if they so choose.”

In softball, two rules changes were recommended by the NFHS Softball Rules Committee at its June 16-18 meeting in Indianapolis and subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors.

Rules 1-6-1 and 1-7-1 were revised to state that the batting helmet and the catcher’s helmet shall have a non-glare surface (not mirror-like).

Church league action Princeton Bible Church’s pitcher Rob Jensen (left) throws a pitch during Saturday’s 12-6 loss to Bureau Township while St. Matthew’s player Eric Waca hits a pitch during the team’s 24-2 win over People Church.

Baseball From Page 9 Rules Committee, said the committee instituted these changes because helmets that are mirror-like in nature are distracting and could be dangerous for other players.

In other baseball rules changes, the committee expanded the definition of interference in Rule 2-21 to include follow-through interference and backswing interference.

Rule 2-21-4 will state that “follow-through interference is when the ball hits the catcher after the batter has swung at a pitch and hinders action at home plate or the catcher’s attempt to play on a runner,” and Rule 2-21-5 will state that “backswing interference is when a batter contacts the catcher or his equipment prior to the time of the pitch.”

Hopkins said that follow-

through interference and backswing interference are separate and distinct acts that previously were not addressed in Rule 2-21.

The rule previously covered offensive, umpire and spectator interference.

The rules committee approved a change in Rule 1-5-1 regarding the batting helmet to be consistent with the rule for helmets used by defensive players. As is the case with head protection worn by field players, the batting helmet now must have a non-glare surface (cannot be mirror-like in nature) and meet the NOCSAE standard at the time of manufacture.

The definition of a foul ball in Rule 2-16-1 was expanded to be consistent with language elsewhere in the rules book. Specifically, Rule 2-16-1f will now state that a foul is a batted ball “that hits the batter in the batter’s box.” Article “g” will state that a foul is a batted

ball “that hits the ground or home plate and then hits the batter or the bat which is held by the batter while he is in the batter’s box.”

The final change approved by the Baseball Rules Committee involves the following additional language to Courtesy Runner Rule No. 1: “In the event that the offensive team bats around, the pitcher and/or catcher who had a courtesy runner inserted on their behalf may bat in their normal position in the batting order.”

Baseball is the fourthmost popular sport for boys at the high school level with 474,791 participants in 15,632 schools during the 2012-13 season, according to the NFHS Athletics Participation Survey. Fastpitch softball is the fifthmost popular sport for girls at the high school level with 362,488 participants in 15,067 schools during the 2012-13 season.
