SV in need of safety upgrades

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY —The city of Spring Valley is due for an upgrade in its safety and health program.

On Monday, Mayor Walt Marini explained a representative from the Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) conducted an inspection of the city’s departments and found areas in need of updating.

Upon discovering this, Marini sought out Mark Fiorentini, a program administrator of Illinois Valley Safety Services, who offered a proposal to the city. The proposal agrees to provide program material to the city, which will assist with employer mandates set forth by Operational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and IDOL. “I want to get this going because the representa-

tive from IDOL will return, and I want to show him that we have things in place and are working on updating the programs,” Marini said.

Before the council unanimously approved the proposal from IVSS, aldermen further discussed the need for the updates and talked about the costs for IVSS’ services.

Marini couldn’t provide specific details on how much work it would entail

to make the updates but said he will be meeting with Fiorentini and street Superintendent Jeff Norton to get a better idea of what’s needed for the city.

The proposal fee for the city is based on hours, at $100-per-hour for consulting and program assistance.

Alderman Chuck Hansen suggested the council cap the price at $4,000, which would account for 40 hours of work. It was

agreed on that if the services ran over 40 hours, they council would further discuss the price for services.

Alderman Dan McFadden expressed how important it was to move forward with the updates, as new workers were just hired by the city and need proper safety training.

“None of these guys have had any confined space training or none of that. It’s very essen-

tial these guys get that right now … It’s a new work force; they’ve never been in a ditch or a hole or anything. You can set the policy, but they need that training on safety,” he said.

Marini also mentioned the city’s insurance company will be coming at the end of August to do a 10-hour mandatory OSHA class with the employees.

In the zone for medical marijuana City of Princeton amends zoning code

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton City Council has amended the city’s zoning code to make sure it’s ready for a possible medical marijuana facility to be built in the city’s logistics center.

At Monday’s meeting, the council voted 3 to 2 to suspend the first reading of a text amendment recommendation from the Princeton Plan Commission, which would add language to the zoning code allowing for indoor commercial horticulture businesses which grow plants indoors “for use by people or animals for food, medicinal purposes or aesthetic gratification.”

The text amendment includes, but is not limited to, cultivation centers, as defined by the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

As stated on the Department of Agriculture website, cultivation centers are medical marijuana facilities.

In July, the city council voted 4 to 1 to endorse using a site in the Princeton Logistic Center, or commercial park, as the location for a future medical marijuana cultivation center, if Princeton would get chosen by the state as a site. Voting against the July motion was Commissioner Bob Warren.

In discussing the proposed suspension of the first reading of the text

Walnut gets $50,000 DCEO grant Village is courting a grocery store

By Nita Wyatt news@bcrnews.com

WALNUT — The village of Walnut has been awarded a $50,000 grant for capital improvements within the town.

In 2009, Walnut completed the necessary paperwork and applied for a $50,000 capital improvement grant. Rep. Don Moffitt, at the time, encouraged the village to make this application.

On July 22, notice was received by the village that it was awarded a $50,000 grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. Under this grant award, it is possible

for the village to apply for reimbursement for capital expenditures that have taken place within the last 18 months.

Acting President Dennis Grobe asked the board for possible capital expenditures already spent or ideas as to where to apply this $50,000. Several board members asked to see the listing of what can be covered under this particular grant. The village trea-

surer agreed to send out to the board members, via email, all the information she had received regarding projects that could be covered.

Grobe agreed any decision for the funds would be tabled until the members were able to review the paperwork, and possible uses for the funds would be discussed

Don Sabowski (left) helps student Ian Nickels brace a strut for further assembly. The strut is part of the ultralight plane (insert) being built by a flying club at the Illinois Valley Regional Airport in Peru.

If you build it, they will fly it High school students embark on a high-flying journey

By Ken Schroeder Shaw Media Service

LASALLE — This fall when the teacher asks some students in Illinois Valley area schools what they did for summer vacation, they’ll have a somewhat unique answer.

They built a plane. “It’s an ultralight plane; a Quicksilver 25 Sport,�

Fred Marquardt, one of the advisers said.

High school students from Bureau, LaSalle and Putnam County high schools responded to a general call for youth interested in a chance to build and fly an airplane.

The plane came in several pieces; the smaller pieces attached to large cardboard sheets by vacuum-sealed plastic. The engine came separate and pre-assembled, while the

framework for the plane was shipped in six large packages — two of which were for the wrong plane and had to be shipped back, causing a delay in construction.

Sprawled about the hanger bay the club — no formal name has been attached to the project — is using for assembly, it resembles a model kit but for the size. The construction manual is larger than a local phone book and — thankfully — fully illustrated.

Illinois Valley Regional Airport has generously loaned the club the use of a hangar bay for construction purposes, although the plane will have to go to a different hangar when it is closer to completion.

Ken Pisarczyk of the Carus Corporation oversees the construction, but the idea for the club

Correction The townwide boil order in the village of Wyanet will start at 10 p.m. Saturday, not 10 a.m. as reported in Tuesday’s BCR. The BCR regrets the error.

“

“The plane’s a two-seater. That was no accident. We purposely wanted one so those of us with pilot’s licenses could teach the students how to fly in actual practice.�

Ken Pisarczyk came from higher up in the organization. “The genesis came from Peter Limberger. He just moved here from Europe and is married to Inge Carus,� Pisarczyk said. “He’s an avid flyer. He has two stunt planes out here, a biplane and the corporate jet, and he’s interested in

promoting flying and getting young kids involved, so we can get a flying club going and have some continuity and excitement about flying.�

Limberger donated the plane to the club.

The team of 30-plus advisers and teens began construction in late May,

although shipping misfortunes and other delays have diminished the number of people involved.

The goal was to have the plane up and running before summer’s end, but Pisarczyk isn’t holding his breath, estimating construction will take between 60 and 100 hours total.

Once the construction is completed, the club members will be briefed and

tested on the plane so they can eventually fly their handiwork over the fields of the Illinois Valley. The plane has to pass an FFA inspection, and each student will need to pass a 25-hour instruc- tion course before taking to the air. “The plane’s a two-seater,� Pisarczyk said. “That was no accident. We purposely wanted one so those of us with pilot’s licenses could teach the students how to fly in actual practice.�

New facility coming to Sheffield

By Andrew Fisher news@bcrnews.com

SHEFFIELD — The village of Sheffield will soon have a new mental, physical and spiritual services provider.

Cornerstone Community Wellness, Inc. recently purchased the building at 302 N. Mason St. and will provide services from that location. The building will house space for support groups, mental health workshops, child and adult mentorship, life skills classes, health education, childcare and a fitness center.

The opening date for the new center is set for Jan. 1, 2015.

Cornerstone Community Wellness informed Sheffield of the building purchase via a letter to village Mayor Bill Rosenow, who announced the new facility at Monday’s village board meeting. In the letter, the business requested the building being rezoned from a manufacturing to a Business 1 property.

In other village news: • Rainbow Kids United will host a summer together at the Hennepin Canal Visitor Center on Aug. 13.

The group will depart from Sheffield United Church of Christ at 3:30 p.m. and return around 5:30 p.m. The event will include a scavenger hunt, sidewalk art, watermelon spitting contest, food and Bible story skits and songs around a campfire. Those interested may contact Pastor Jane at 815-454-2290 to help out or ask about details.

• The village paid around $21,000 for tree removal due to the storm in July.

The first installment of property taxes for the year was received which helped offset the expense of the tree clean up.

• The bids for the tarring and chipping of streets will be opened next Monday at 2 p.m. in the village community center.

• Village Attorney Dan Tracy will be publishing notices for the demolition of abandoned and dilapidated properties in the village.

• The new squad car’s accessories have been installed. Rosenow said Sheffield Police Chief Todd Marquez will now be able to put in more hours.

• Following up on complaints received at the last board meeting, 12 properties have been cited for weeds. Village enforcement will follow up with letters.

• The village voted to sell the old squad car and old truck. Bids will be opened the Sept. 3.

• The results of the diagnosis of the unusual iron readings found recently at Well 6 have been received

by Superintendent Leif Porter. The conclusion is that nothing is out of order. The only change found in the water is the magnesium level. The magnesium level affects the hardness of the water.

The iron in the water problem could have been caused by a simple shaking of the ground by a lightning jolt, according to Porter.

• The village’s 20-yearold pipe locator is unreliable and nearing failure.

A replacement will cost around $3,000. The current equipment’s casing is not electrically isolated and consequently yields faulty readings. The board approved purchase of a new locator.

• A board member said some residents have suggested adding new bathrooms on to the existing park pavilion. The mayor is leaning toward all new construction of the new bathrooms along the design of that found in nearby Francis Park. The village board decided to explore ideas and then to draw up plans at the next meeting.

• The Sheffield Fire Department will be taking over the blowing of the siren for emergencies.

The existing switch will be transferred from the village maintenance building to the fire station.

• The village attorney and village fire trustee attorneys are working on an inter-governmental agreement to allow Sheffield’s fire department and rescue units to work together.

• The village has been informed it will have to purchase a canvas cover for the dump truck per state regulations. The board approved purchase of the cover. Porter said he will look into pricing.

The next board meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Hours cut for Buda P.O.

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

BUDA — Buda residents will keep their post office but will see a reduction in the open window hours for customer service.

About 10 residents attended last week’s meeting at the Buda Post Office, at which U.S. Postal Service representative Donna Sherwood presented the results of the recent surveys sent to the community customers.

Sherwood said 360 surveys were mailed to Buda postal customers with 144 of the surveys returned. Of those, 89 percent favored a realignment of open hours, compared to 4 percent voting for a delivery option. One percent chose going to a nearby post office for customer service with another 1 percent choosing to have a village-business post office service option. Four percent of the returned

surveys made no selection.

After reviewing the surveys, the U.S. Postal Service determined the Buda residents will see their open window hours at their post office reduced from the current seven hours, Monday through Friday, to four hours.

The most likely hours for the Buda Post Office open window service will be 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, with Saturday hours remaining the same at 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., Sherwood said.

However, the postal service will take into account all information received at the Buda meeting before making a final decision, Sherwood added. Access to delivery receptacles in the lobby will not be reduced from current hours. The scheduled change of hours will be posted once determined.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the Buda meeting

is one of seven meetings being held by the U.S. Postal Service in Bureau County, focusing on post offices in smaller communities and how to cut expenses for the postal service. Other impacted communities are Wyanet, Sheffield, Cherry, Seatonville, DePue and Bureau.

The open hours reduction is part of the U.S. Postal Service’s POST Plan which has targeted 13,000 post offices in small towns nationwide, looking at the number of transactions in each office and determining how much time is actually needed to conduct that business. With the reduction of open window hours would come a reduction in employee hours, which would be a significant cost-savings to the company. The U.S. Postal Services expects to realize about $500 million in savings through the nationwide POST Plan.

Master Farmer Dean Ganschow Ganschow: ‘Not as many people live on the land anymore’

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

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

WALNUT — Looking into what farming might be like years down the road, Dean Ganschow sees a bright future for farmers.

There will be the usual ups and downs as there always has been, but one thing is for sure — as the world population grows, there will have to be greater farming efficiencies.

“Farms will continue to get a little bit bigger than they are today. It’s going to take considerably more financing than it used to because everything is costing so much more,” he said.

There’s one thing Ganschow is strongly opposed of in the future, and that’s family farms becoming a thing of the past.

“I’m a fan of the family farm. It’s a wonderful way to raise children, but I’m afraid we’re going to loose flexibility and possibly efficiency as farms get larger — although I’m not sure if I’m right about that,” he said. “I would personally hate to see this family farm disappear from the scenes.”

Dean Ganschow Ganschow lives about a mile from where he was raised on the farm. Living the life of a farmer is all Ganschow ever wanted to do.

“I’m fortunate enough to have lived my life doing what I loved to do and what I wanted to do,” he said.

“I don’t do much farming today, but I’m kind of still associated with it … I ran a combine last fall parttime, and I love to do it. I don’t think that is going to change.”

Around 1979, Ganschow became the first area farmer to try out the zero tillage farming method on a crop.

The idea had evolved from trying to find a way to overcome one of his greatest farming challenges — soil erosion.

“The farm I live on is rather rolling and soil erosion was a big challenge,” he explained.

Ganschow made his first test on an area in one of his fields, that was far away from the road where no one would see. When the Soil and Water Conservation District held its annual tour and was shown the new method, they were amazed at the results.

When the method caught on, the proper equipment was developed for better efficiency.

“I approached it pretty cautiously, but equipment came along, and it’s not near the challenge nowadays,” he said.

Ganschow was selected as a Prairie Farmer Master Farmer in 1989.

Looking back on the high points in his farming career, Ganschow is quick to say his No. 1 memory was being able to raise 100 bushels an acre on his corn crop. At second thought, he says it was the help and encouragement from the people he was acquainted with, including his wife.

A big change that Ganschow has witnessed throughout the years is the decreasing number of people who live on the farm.

“Not as many people live on the land anymore, and we used to be more associated with each other and worked together more than we do today,” he said.

Ganschow explained there were many factors that changed these ways.

The main one being the economy. Small farms weren’t able to support families, so other farms got larger, and people moved away and got better paying jobs.

“There wasn’t a loss in interest; farming just wasn’t as practical as it once was,” he said. “It just happened, and it was just the way it was.”

amendment at Monday’s meeting, Commissioner Joel Quiram said the city has an ordinance requiring two readings of proposed ordinances. The two-readings ordinance is there for a reason, to give people the opportunity to speak up once they hear about the first reading and then come to the next council meeting and voice their opinion. In reading the proposed text amendment, he did not see the urgency or necessity of suspending the first reading, Quiram said.

City Manager Jeff Clawson said the primary reason for the request to suspend the first reading was for a timely application to the Illinois Department of Agriculture and to have the language in the city code which would match the appropriate zoning classification.

Quiram said he was not opposed to the medical marijuana facility, but he would vote against the suspension of the first reading as well as the text amendment ordinance because the ordinance was not going forward to a second reading.

After further discussion, Quiram and Commissioner Ray Mabry voted against

suspending the first reading of the text amendment, as well as the subsequent vote on the text amendment itself. Voting in favor of the suspension of the first reading and the subsequent approval of the text amendment were Warren, Mayor Keith Cain and Commissioner Ray Swanson.

Following Monday’s meeting, Quiram said there may not be many people out there who are opposed to the medical marijuana facility for Princeton, but they are out there. They have a right, via the city’s ordinance that requires two readings, to voice their opinion if they choose to do so.

In other business at Monday’s meeting, Clawson presented the council with a proposal for new signage at the city’s recycling center. The exterior sign will be large, 4-feet-by-8-feet, and will list the rules for using the center, as well as the consequences for violations. Inside the building, the city will put up posters and explanations of the various recyclable materials in an effort to do a better job of educating the public.

The city will also work on scheduling staff at the center, he said.

How to support a loved one fighting cancer For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, woman living with incurable cancer offers suggestions Shy about asking, “What’s the etiquette for supporting my loved one, friend or colleague in their battle against cancer?” many people simply avoid the question altogether – and offer nothing.

“It’s OK to wonder, and it’s OK to ask. Be direct!” said Jane Schwartzberg, who has been battling Stage 4 metastatic cancer for several years. She’s the coauthor with Marcy Tolkoff Levy of “Naked Jane Bares All,” www.nakedjanebaresall.com, which shares her story with candor and humor.

Jane was a 31-year-old newlywed when she was first diagnosed with breast cancer. She underwent treatment and eventually was declared cancer free.

She moved on with her life, giving birth to two children and launching a technology company. Then, when she was 42, the cancer returned. She’s now 45.

“I’m a fighter, and the support I’ve received from my family and friends has given me an immeasurable amount of strength, without which I don’t know what I would do,” Schwartzberg said.

What are some suggestions for providing support?

She offers these: • Do it without any expectations or requirements for a response. “I’m often asked, ‘What can I do to help?’” she said. “What I’ve suggested: Be in my life at my pace; let me take the lead; make your presence, availability and support known; but do it without any expectations or requirements for a response.”

• Embrace their big dream, even if it doesn’t sound realistic. During a very low point, Schwartzberg was asked by a friend: If you could have anything, swinging for the fences, what would help you get out of this pit? Without skipping a beat, she answered, “I want to take [comedian] Larry David out to lunch.”

As impossible as it seemed, her friend encouraged her to write to the co-creator of ‘Seinfeld’ —- and he accepted.

“As terrible as having terminal cancer is, there is that undeniable quality of embracing every moment, including asking your heroes out to lunch,” Schwartzberg said. “Cancer brings out the boldness in people, which may entail a dream vacation to Hawaii. Don’t be afraid to embrace their wishes.”

• Don’t hesitate to say, “You look beautiful,” when health has returned. After her chemotherapy treatments ended, Jane slowly started looking like her old self – healthy Jane, not cancer Jane. Part of re-engaging with life is caring about the superficial things, at least to some extent. On the unforgettable day she met Larry David, the maître d had beforehand told her that she looked beautiful, to which Jane responded, “You have no idea how much I appreciate that.”

• Don’t sugarcoat it. “If you want to really infuriate me, you’ll tell me that this whole mess is beshert, Yiddish for ‘meant to be’ – that it’s all part of a plan from a higher power,” she said. “Maybe terminal cancer is part of some crazy plan, but I promise you that these are the last things I want to hear from anyone.”

Don’t sugarcoat or try to put a positive spin on what’s going on – in fact, it’s more of a comfort to Jane when others acknowledge that her situation stinks and that she is looking at a life that’s far different from, and likely to be shorter than, anything she’d imagined.

Our own personal casting call Want something impressive? Watch Batman.

Want something even more impressive? Going from 121 pounds on a diet of coffee, water and an apple a day to about 228 pounds eating doughnuts, cheeseburgers and everything else in sight … all for the sake of a movie.

If that doesn’t show passion and dedication, I don’t know what does.

Yes, Christian Bale is the actor I’m referring to. I recently watched “American Hustle” and had to do a double take when my brother mentioned that Bale was the actor playing Irving, the brilliant, smooth-talking con COMMENTARY artist with a protruding potbelly and painfully obvious toupee. I was used to the strong and lean Bruce Wayne, Mr. Superhero, but after doing some research, this was only the tip of his many transformations.

Back in 2004, Bale was sipping on his coffee to play an insomniac in “The Machinist,” having a frame that would work very well for a walking skeleton at any Halloween party as well as give me the heebie jeebies if he came up to me in real life. Moral of the story: Don’t try going without sleep for over a year. Actually, make that no more than about two days. Not healthy!

After this, Bale was on a weight roller coaster. He went back and forth between gym rat to bulk up and then cardio bunny to lean out, playing everything from Batman, to robot fighter, to crack-addicted boxer. Talk about mental strength! He was constantly gaining and losing muscle, averaging about 40 pounds at a time.

Then 2013 brought on the real challenge: First Bale played a haggard steel worker in “Out of the Furnace,” forced to shed hard won muscle to obtain a gaunt look, and then “American Hustle” came around, meaning hello food!

Obviously, Bale became a pro at transforming his body, and it really made me reflect on how awesome God truly designed us. To be able to shed weight or bulk up that quickly (of course, with extreme dedication) shows just how in-tuned our bodies are to the stimulus we give to them. as well as what is possible with a good work ethic.

What I pondered the most, though, was simply how people revere and respect Bale no matter what physique he has. Emaciated, brawny, lean, pot-bellied ... You name it, he did it, but no matter what form he has, he will always be Christian Bale. He will always be awesome, epic, one-of-a-kind. He will always nail his role, whatever may be asked of him.

Can I say that same thing? That no matter what I look like I will blow people away with my confidence, sincerity and self-control? That no matter what is asked of me I will follow through 110 percent? That no matter how much people try to deter me, I will forge on and meet my goals?

It’s truly inspiring how Bale pulled off all of those roles just by choosing to commit to what he loved and embracing himself in every part. It made me realize that we all have a part to play, but a lot of the times, we complain about our shortfalls and try to find out what we should be or look like to make ourselves happy, often trying to emulate someone else. But if we are trying to squeeze into another role, then who is playing our part?

If Batman decided it was more fun to play the Joker then who would have saved Gotham? The director had a clear plan for each character to make the movie what it was.

One of my favorite quotes from “American Hustle” was

by Irving’s partner-in-crime and lover, Sydney, talking about him: “He wasn’t necessarily in good shape, and he had this comb over that was rather elaborate. He had this air about him. And he had this confidence that drew me to him. He was who he was. He didn’t care.”

God is the director here. He wrote the script and casted us just perfectly. All we have to do is embrace our character He gave us, work to be our best self, and maybe later when people look back on our lives they will think ...

“Wow, they were a star.”

Catching up on a good read In a short time I will be on vacation, lying on a beach, slathered from head to toe in sunscreen with a hat, surrounded by my family and enjoying a good book.

I can’t wait.

It has been far too long since my last vacation and even longer since I’ve been to my oasis on the Great Lakes. The anticipation is killing me. I find myself wondering if it’s the anticipation of going away, being isolated since there is no cell phone reception, burying my nose in a book, being with family or just going some place my family has been going to for more than 40 years.

I’m sure it’s all the above, and not to cut my family short or anything, but I think I’m most looking forward to the reading. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to leisurely enjoy a good book. And for this one week trip, I’m taking five books I haven’t read before.

This is what we do on vacation in my family. We find a nice quiet sandy location, plop a couple of kayaks in the water and read. We

Sarah Maxwell COMMENTARY read until it’s too dark to read, then we find a lantern and continue to read under the stars. It is absolutely divine. Especially if you’ve been saving some books for this specific trip like I have.

I’ve always loved reading and the opportunities books have given me. They allow for some escape from everything. And reading on vacation, it’s a double dose of escapism.

I imagine my reading will be interrupted occasionally when my niece hands me one of her cardboard books to read to her, and I can’t wait. She already loves books, but it’s good to constantly show her reading is a wonderful hobby and pastime. I have a feeling she’ll be better read than all of us someday.

To be honest, it’s not all about the reading. It’s also about taking the time off and enjoying your-

self. We work so hard in our society that we need to take the time to recharge our batteries. It does nobody good to work 365 days a year. Our bodies and minds need a break from the constant stimulation we receive at work, otherwise we will just wear ourselves into the ground.

What’s even better about our little oasis is the lack of cell phone reception. It all goes back to unplugging and disconnecting for a little while. My mom worked full time when I was growing up, and my dad stayed home. When we went on our family vacations it was just the four of us; no work allowed unless there was a huge emergency, but there never was.

So until I get back, I plan to dive off at the world’s edge and not resurface until the last possible minute. Hopefully the world keeps turning while I’m away and I can get back to my books.

Until then, you can find me catching some rays with my nose stuck in a book.

Heth meets former Polish president MANLIUS — Sheila L. Heth met Lech Walesa, the former president of Poland, a Polish hero and an international symbol of the pursuit of freedom and democracy, while on a two-week trip through the Baltic Sea countries.

Walesa was a worker in Gdansk’s Lenin Shipyard where he became a worldwide symbol of resistance against communism during the shipyard workers strike in 1980 and the establishment of the Solidarity labor movement.

Despite winning the right to form an independent union, Walesa and Solidarity were forced to continue their struggle against

a Soviet-backed regime.

He was jailed in 1981 and released in 1982.

Walesa’s courage was recognized when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1983. He was the president of Poland from 1990-1995. President Ronald Reagan awarded Walesa the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and he became the first nonhead of state to address a joint session of the United States Congress.

Heth visited Poland, Copenhagen, Norway, Finland, Sweden, St. Petersburg and Estonia.

Heth is from Princeton and is the Bureau Valley High School art instructor.

IVWGI returns to Green River Country Club Walnut club last hosted tournament in 2008

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrsports.com

WALNUT — The Illinois Valley Women’s Golf Invitational is coming back to Green River Country Club in Walnut on Sunday for the first time in six years.

However, as of Tuesday’s sign-ups, no past champion will be coming in this year’s field.

Defending champion Carol Balconi, a three-time winner, returned last year to her home course at Edgewood, winning the title in memory of her mother, Pat, who had recently passed away. She will not be in this year’s field, nor will 2013 runner-up Penny BookerDerick, a two-time champion, and 2013 third-place finisher Gwen (Holmes) Roseberg of Princeton.

Six-time champion and Spring Valley native Carrie (Riordan) Davis is enjoying life as a new mom living in Florida and chasing her little girl rather than the little white ball these days.

Also absent will be 2012 champ Katie Farrell, who is attending school in Florida, and Cheri Russell of Morris, the 2012 champion.

Green River’s own Roberta Benevento, who won the tournament in 1997, 1998 and 2000, will not be playing for the home team.

Rookie Sophia Suarez of Chapel Hill Golf Course, who just signed up, has emerged as a top contender. The 2013 BCR Golfer of the Year, will be a senior at Princeton High School.

She will be joined by her mother, Claire.

The 56th annual IVWGI

marks just the second time Green River has played host to the event. The field is in great shape for a great tournament, tournament director Karen Anderson of Green River said.

“We are very excited to have the tournament again. Green River CC is in great shape this year, thanks to our employees and a lot of volunteer mowing by our members,” Anderson said.

“We had a play-day (July 23) with 26 women, so we are hoping that got some ladies excited about the tournament, and they all seemed to enjoy the course.”

Long-time tournament player and booster Kathy Potthoff said Green River has some nice players and will benefit from the home course advantage.

She noted she played with Anderson, who turned in a 39, in the recent Play Day there.

“Angie Carls and the rest of their gals shoot well. They will have a strong playing field,” Potthoff said. “Green River is in great shape and ready for a great tournament.”

Anderson said they have discussed a few different tee time options, depending on the number of sign-ups.

She said things ran pretty smoothly in 2008 with just a little wait, alternating groups coming off No. 9 and new groups going off No. 1.

Chip shots: RiordanDavis was the champion in 2008 the last time the IVWGI came to Green River. Edgewood was the team champion.

Bunker Hill advances in church league St. Matthew’s to play UMC Thursday

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Bunker Hill held off United Methodist Church 7-6 Tuesday in the 2014 Princeton Church League Fastpitch Tournament held at Westside Park.

After UMC’s Dylan Olson hit a homer in the top of the first inning, Bunker Hill responded by scoring five in the bottom of the first.

Bunker Hill added runs in the third and sixth innings, while UMC scored two runs in the sixth and three more in the seventh to fall one run short in the game. Two runners were stranded by UMC at second and third when the final out was recorded by Bunker Hill.

Adam Gutshall went the distance for Bunker Hill as the winning pitcher, while Rex Lasson absorbed the loss.

In the first game of the night, St. Matthew’s overwhelmed Bureau Township 18-3 in five innings. Brad Snethen was the winning pitcher, while Jeremy House took the loss.

St. Matthew’s and United Methodist Church will play at 7 p.m. Thursday in the losers’ bracket. The winner of Thursday’s game will play Bunker Hill in the championship game of the double-elimination tournament at 6 p.m. Saturday.

If St. Matthew’s or UMC beats Bunker Hill in the BCR photo/Mike Vaughn first game Saturday, a second game will be played immediately afterwards to crown the season-ending Bunker Hill’s Adam Gutshall pitches during his team’s 7-6 win over United Methodist Church in the 2014 Princtournament champion. eton Church League Fastpitch Tournament.

Shawn and Steve Lewis of Princeton opened Daddy-O’s Donut Shop in July in Princeton at 927 N. Main St.

Donut shop opens on North Main Street Lewises operate Daddy-O’s

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Owners Steve and Shawn Lewis opened Daddy-O’s Donut Shop on July 3 at 927 N. Main St. The shop is in the same location as Nuts 4 Donuts, which had been previously operated by Larry Werdeniuk since 2012.

“He has always had a nose for donuts,” said Shawn, referring to her husband, Steve. “He finds a donut shop wherever we go.”

The shop is open from 5 a.m. to noon Tuesday

through Sunday and closed on Monday.

“We make raised and glazed donuts and all the fritters,” added Shawn. “We can make any kind of donut you want. Our maple bacon donuts are one of the top sellers. We also sell a lot of Fruity Pebbles donuts.”

Steve and his son, Tanner, will operate the donut shop when his wife, Shawn, goes back to work at Princeton High School cafeteria when school resumes.

Steve said he has been working for 40 years in the construction business and thought running a donut shop would be something different.

“My kids have always called me Daddy-O, so we

thought it was a good idea for a different name (for the shop),” said Steve. “We also went to a retro color scheme in the shop.”

The Lewises would like to apologize for a mistake they made the first weekend they were open.

“As novices, we were not prepared for all that this job entails,” they said. “To all our customers who came in and tried our product, we sincerely apologize. The first weekend we were open was definitely trial by fire.”

On the first Sunday the Lewises were open, they made a mistake in their dough, and the donuts turned out chewy.

“We contacted the company, and they helped us

“

“My kids have always called me Daddy-O, so we thought it was a good idea for a different name. We also went to a retro color scheme in the shop.”

Flagpole restoration Recently, several Bureau County residents assisted in scraping and repainting the flagpole at the Matson building, which was acquired in 2014 by the Bureau County Historical Society as a gift from Robert Sash of Tiskilwa. The BCHS is making plans to turn the former library in to a county History Center.

Using a reverse Iwo Jima maneuver, several volunteers lowered the flagpole to rest on the old bicycle rack to begin the sprucing up activities.

Lecture and trunk show set for Aug. 13 PRINCETON — A lecture and trunk show will be given from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Aug. 13 at the Prairie Arts Center by Wanda Stenzel, longtime Princeton resident, and Kate Hall, who grew up in Bureau County and recently returned “home” to live.

Stenzel has been making quilts since the early 1980s and is one of the founding members of Princeton’s Red Covered Bridge Quilt Guild. She has many years experience in teaching quilt classes and

this will be your opportunity to see how her work has changed over the years, and where her inspirations come from for her award winning quilts.

Hall, who grew up in Manlius, has been quilting since the late 1980s and made her first quilt while living in Leeds, Maine. She comes from a long line of sewers and quilters. Her great-grandmothers (both Bureau County residents) were quilters and she will

show some of their quilts and tell how they influenced her life. She will then share some of her quilts and demonstrate how quilting has allowed her to express her feelings in an art form.

This lecture will lead attendees from the quilts of yesterday to what is happening in the world of quilting today, where inspirations come from for quilt designs, and how the quilt world has officially entered into the world of art.
