Heroin in Bureau County?

Sheriff, CPASA talk about implications, new law, education

By D onna B arker dbarker@bcrnews.com

Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation last week to expand the state’s fight against heroin use in communities across Illinois. The new law increases the scope of a special task force created last year to study heroin use in Illinois and to make recommendations to increase awareness and prevention.

Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson said though

it’s good the governor realizes there is a heroin crisis, that crisis won’t be stifled until the United States can stop heroin from being brought into the country.

Heroin is a drug that is not grown within the United States but is imported through the country’s borders and ports. Until those borders and ports are secured, there will be a problem with heroin, Thompson said.

Heroin has become an epidemic that is killing communities, Thompson said. Locally, heroin was introduced into Bureau County in the late 1990s or

early 2000, he said.

“Though heroin doesn’t seem to be increasing within Bureau County, I don’t want that to be misleading … Heroin is still a terrible problem in the county,” Thompson said. “The presence of heroin is significant.”

At last week’s training conference through the Illinois Sheriff’s Association, the heroin crisis was discussed, and the association will soon have information on its website dealing with heroin and other drug abuse problems. Authorities are seeing that heroin addiction happens in not just young people, but in middle-aged people as well. As an example, DuPage has had seen people ranging from 19 years

DePue hires new principal

By G oldie C urrie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

DEPUE — DePue’s new principal may seem a little familiar to some, as this is Cuauhtemoc Reyes’ second time working in the district.

During the 2006-07 school year, Reyes worked as a high school Spanish and ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher. He is back in DePue to fill the role as principal and is looking forward to having another great experience in the district.

Reyes comes from Rockford Public Schools, where he worked as the Freshman Academy Principal at Rockford East High School.

There he oversaw all incoming freshmen and worked solely with curriculum for the students transitioning from eighth grade to freshman year. At DePue, he will cover the entire spectrum — from prekindergarten to 12th grade.

“I had a great experience my first year at DePue,” he said. “Just working with the staff, the way they would have cookouts and the gift exchanges at Christmas. It was a very positive experience.”

Reyes holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Spanish and a second master’s degree in leadership, which gave him his Type 75 certification to become an administrator.

As a true believer in the life-long learner philosophy, he continues his education by working on his education doctorate degree.

A lick and a prayer First Presbyterian hosts annual social, fundraiser

By G oldie C urrie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The First Presbyterian Church of Princeton is revving up to host its eighth annual ice cream social this Saturday, Aug. 16.

The event will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. on the front lawn of the church, located at 320 Park Ave. East.

There will be live and silent auctions

with items ranging from all shapes, sizes and price ranges — theme gift baskets, gift cards, original artwork, baked goods, jewelry, corn and soybean seed, baseball tickets to the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs, a portable hand-built picnic table constructed by 15-year-old Luke Schultz of Princeton and much more.

Silent auction bids will be accepted from 5 to 7:15 p.m. The live auction begins at 7:30 p.m.

Several local gospel musicians will be performing throughout the evening, and there will also be children’s activities.

The menu includes: Grilled ribeye and barbecue sandwiches, hot dogs, chips, home-baked cookies and Grandma Rosie’s ice cream.

Those lazy days of summer - kind of makes you a little squirrely!

This squirrel didn’t mind getting his photo snapped — in fact, he almost seemed to pose for the camera. A hot and steamy Sunday afternoon was the perfect time for this squirrel to snack on a walnut, while lounging on the railing to the deck.

Ice cream From Page 1 cannot find a primary physician.

Beth Schultz, who has played a significant role in the ice cream social events, explained about eight years ago, the church decided to do a local outreach that would benefit a wide range of community members.

“They thought the health and wellness clinic would serve everybody in one way or another. There’s a huge group of people in the county the clinic does affect, and it seems like the need for the clinic is growing everyday,” she said.

Throughout the years, the church has raised around $100,000 from its ice cream social events, which has all been donated to the clinic.

Jean Babcock, executive director of the clinic, said the church and outreach program has touched the lives of many people.

“It’s a small parish, but there are very few people who don’t do something for this auction. I think every-

body does something,” she said. “They are a remarkable group of people who have raised incredible sums of money.”

The clinic has been serving patients since its start-up in 2002. The clinic’s first location was in a storefront on Main Street in downtown Princeton, and today is located on the former Covenant Children’s Home property on Elm Place. The clinic is supported strictly by community outreach fundraisers and patient and private donations.

There are five volunteer physicians and one who treats patients.

Babcock explained what used to be a clinic that treated patients for the usual colds, sore throats and sinus infections, has turned into a place that now treats chronic disease management.

“When you’re battling a chronic disease, I think every physician will agree that you need a continuity of care, and that’s what we provide at the clinic,” she said.

Extension Advisor Jon Ellis

World Breastfeeding Week

Ellis: ‘The cost and the stakes — it’s like a poker game’

Health department offers information, support

By G oldie C urrie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Jon Ellis of Princeton can look back and remember what life was like growing up on the farm. He can recall his dad planting the fields, two rows at a time, with a team of horses. Back then, getting 10 acres planted was a big day for farmers.

Now looking around at the average farm today, Ellis sees 24-row planters, GPS tractor steering guidance and farmers checking off at least 300 or 400 acres planted per day.

To him, the progress made in research and technology enhancements for farmers is nothing short of incredible.

“Just everything that the farmer has done, I’m amazed at how they have adapted quickly and accepted the technology that’s available to them. Most of it was necessary to do in order to stay in the business,” he explained. “Even though it has changed so much over the years, I still think it’s one of the success stories in business that isn’t told enough.”

Ellis began his career in agriculture research at the University of Illinois’

Extension service in 1955. He worked in Marshall, Putnam and Stark counties before making his move into Bureau County.

In those days, the research, knowledge and new methods were not at the fingertips of farmers like they are today.

Therefore, the extension office played a huge role in assisting farmers with problem solving and providing them with the most efficient techniques to produce larger quantities at the best quality.

Ellis worked sideby-side with all of the Bureau County Master Farmers, who tapped into his knowledge to discover their own success they are known for today.

Looking at how much more farmers can produce these days is amazing to Ellis.

“I can remember my father bragging that he had 100-bushels of corn per acre, and now if it’s only 200, we think maybe we got shorted a little bit,” he said. “Soybean yields at 25 to 30-a bushel were a pretty good soybean yield, and now we’re seeing yields twice that and maybe more sometimes. It’s because of the research and bet-

dbarker@bcrnews.com

Jon Ellis ter farming practices we now have today.”

One of the biggest changes in farming Ellis has noted over the years is the stakes have gotten a lot higher.

“The farmer today has to worry a lot about marketing and has to apply himself to how they are going to market what they are going to produce because the cost and the stakes — it’s like a poker game,” he said.

Looking into the future of farming, Ellis is confident farmers will continue to move forward with the advancements in agriculture. His advice for farmers is they need to continue to adapt to the technologies available in genetics, machinery and methods on handling soil and water to stay efficient.

PRINCETON — The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department is promoting the merits of breastfeeding infants in conjunction with World Breastfeeding Week.

Laurie Geuther, director of nursing for the local health department, said the health department has two Certified Lactation Specialists on staff to help any mother who wants to breastfeed, even if they are not on the health department’s Women, Infant and Children (WIC) program.

To all WIC moms who are pregnant and express a desire or express interest in breastfeeding, the local health department has a packet of great educational information on breastfeeding, and the women can talk with the staff about breastfeed-

ing at subsequent visits, Geuther said.

According to a press release issued by the International Lactation Consultant Association (ILCA), this year’s theme of World Breastfeeding Week was developed by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action and highlights the framework of the Millennium Development Goals for protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding. The goals were developed by the United Nations and other global partners with the goal of reducing extreme poverty and providing people lives of dignity in every nation by 2015.

ILCA President Decalie Brown said mothers need a team of helpers and healthcare professionals to support them in their breastfeeding efforts. This breastfeeding team can include

family, friends, physicians, nurses, midwives, employers and childcare providers.

When mothers and babies are able to reach their breastfeeding goals, they also contribute to community prosperity, health, equity and environmental sustainability, she said.

“Healthy mothers with healthy babies are better able to contribute to household wealth because illnesses do not limit their opportunity to generate income,” Brown said. “Additionally, breastfeeding provides appropriate nutrition for infant growth, sets the stage for schoolreadiness and contributes to a cleaner environment with less waste.

Together, all of these small contributions add up for improved global health.”

Limited grandstand seats remain for The Beach Boys on Aug. 21 PRINCETON — There are a very limited number of grandstand seats remaining for the Beach Boys concert at 8 p.m.

Aug. 21 at the Bureau County Fair in Princeton.

You can capsulize the most pop music acts by reciting how many hits they’ve had and how many millions of albums they’ve sold. But these conventional measurements fall short when you’re assessing the impact of The Beach Boys. To be sure, this band has birthed a torrent of hit singles and sold albums by the tens of millions. But its greater significance lies in the fact that it changed the musical landscape so profoundly that every pop act since has been in its debt.

Captained by Mike Love, The Beach Boys play an astoundingly

busy schedule of concerts, averaging 150 shows a year, ranging from sun-drenched summer festivals to gala New Year’s celebrations and special events worldwide.

In 1974 Mike Love’s concept album “Endless Summer” ignited a second generation of Beach Boys fans and stirred a tempest that rocked the music world.

Grammy-winning songwriter Bruce Johnston, (Barry Manilow’s “I Write the Songs”), joined The Beach Boys in 1965, replacing Glenn Campbell, who filled in for Brian Wilson, on vocals/ bass, when he retired from touring. Highly regarded as a singersongwriter, Johnston’s vocal work with such legendary artists as Elton John and Pink Floyd

firmly established him among rock’s elite artists.

In addition to founding Beach Boy Mike Love (lead vocals) and Beach Boy-vet Bruce Johnston (vocals/keyboards) — Christian Love (guitar/ vocals), Randell Kirsch (bass/vocals), Tim Bonhomme (keyboards/ vocals), John Cowsill of The Cowsills (percussion/vocals) and Scott Totten (guitar/vocals) round out the band.

DePue From Page 1 As his first order of business in DePue, Reyes will be getting to know the people — students, teachers and parents.

He also plans to continue building on the solid foundation already set in place in the district.

“I believe they are going in a great direction, and I just want to enhance it,” he said. “One of the biggest things I want is parent community involvement. I want to keep going forward and getting more parents involved.”

As far as changes, there are none on the list Reyes is looking to make right

to 55 years die from heroin, the sheriff said.

When parents tell him their child is addicted to heroin, Thompson helps them find a resource to help the addicted person get treatment and clean of drugs. To maintain a drug-free life, his best recommendation is to get the person out of that environment and away from old friends, which usually means moving away, he said.

Another recent concern in the battle against drugs has been a resurgence of LSD, a drug used more often seen in the 1960s, Thompson said. Though it hasn’t reached epidemic proportions yet, it is a concern to him when he sees a resurgence of a drug like LSD.

He explained if a program is working well within the school, he sees no reason to come in and make a lot of changes.

“Every school district runs a little differently, so I want to see what works well, and then if it’s working we’ll just continue with it.

'If there’s areas where I feel like we can improve in, then we’ll make some changes,” he said.

On a last note, Reyes encourages any parents or community members who might have concerns or questions to stop by and talk with him, as his door is open to anyone.

As far as a local drug awareness and prevention outreach, the Community Partners Against Substance Abuse (CPASA) continues its efforts in educating the public about the dangers of drug use, CPASA coordinator Dawn Conerton said Thursday.

Area law enforcement and health care partners have reported heroin as a definite problem in the Bureau/Putnam counties area for the past couple of years, Conerton said.

She has not seen hard numbers on heroin from any of CPASA’s traditional drug information sources, but she is aware the law enforcement is devoting significant attention to this issue.

CPASA’s educational programs for youth and adults try to hit on as many substances as possible and especially

on those identified as being current or ongoing threats to local communities. CPASA has discussed heroin in its various programs for some time, she said.

As far as helping parents help their kids stay clear of drugs, Conerton said there is a new underage drinking campaign called “Talk-They Hear You” for parents.

The campaign has implications beyond alcohol and CPASA encourages parents to talk to their kids about all substances, she said.

In the case of heroin, it is becoming easier to get heroin in uncommon forms, which also means parents need to become better informed about what the drug looks like and how it is being distributed, Conerton said.

A look at heroin • Heroin is an illegal, highly addictive drug processed from morphine, a naturally occurring substance extracted from the seed pod of certain varieties of poppy plants.

• Heroin is typically sold as a white or brownish powder that is “cut” with sugars, starch, powdered milk or quinine.

• Pure heroin is a white powder with a bitter taste that predominantly originates in South America, and to a lesser extent, from Southeast Asia and dominates U.S. markets east of the Mississippi River.

• “Black tar” heroin is sticky like roofing tar or hard like coal and is predominantly produced in Mexico and sold in U.S. areas west of the Mississippi River.

• Highly pure heroin can be snorted or smoked and may be more appealing to new users because it eliminates the stigma associated with injection drug use.

• According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, in 2012 about 669,000 Americans reported using heroin in the past year, a number that has been on the rise since 2007. This trend appears to be driven largely by young adults aged 18–25 among whom there have been the greatest increases.

• Repeated heroin use changes the physical structure and physiology of the brain, creating long-term imbalances in neuronal and hormonal systems that are not easily reversed.

• A variety of effective treatments are available for heroin addiction, including both behavioral and pharmacological (medications). Both approaches help to restore a degree of normalcy to brain function and behavior, resulting in increased employment rates and lower risk of HIV and other diseases and criminal behavior.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF Who Passed Away August 13, 2013

He bid no one a last farewell. Nor even said good-bye. He was gone before we knew it. And only God knows why. They say time heals all sorrow. And helps us to forget. But time so far has only proved, how much we miss him yet.

On the street

How do you instill good sportsmanship in today’s youth?

“I try to lead by example — keeping a positive attitude and giving my best at what I’m doing.”

Terry Smallwood, Princeton

“Be honest. Be honest with yourself, the game and your competitors. Be the bigger person and help a player up if he is down.”

Jeff Lucas, Princeton

“You have to let the kids know that they will lose at some point, and that’s OK. The effort is what counts.”

Denny Boyles, Princeton

“We try to encourage the kids to participate, to play hard and to play fair.”

Glenn Smith, Princeton

From the editor’s desk I happened to walk by the school supply aisle the other day, and I don’t mind telling you there was a certain pang of excitement in my soul. While it’s been way too many years since I needed to buy school supplies, the sight of all those new pens, pencils, crayons and notebooks took me on a quick trip down that proverbial Memory Lane. Do you remember? Of course you do.

From the bag of new school supplies to the new white and black saddle shoes from Anderson-Mosshart to the new clothes that arrived from Montgomery Terri Ward and Sears Roebuck to the new Simon underwear and socks from Hornsby’s or Carp’s on Princeton’s Main Street ... it was a special time of year. After all — new clothes and other items were usually reserved for birthdays and Christmas. It was a big deal!

As the children prepare to return to school, I hope they do so with an excited feeling about learning. I truly believe kids assume their feelings about school from the adults in their world. If the adults are excited, then ultimately some of that excitement transfers to the children.

I also hope parents will be an active component in their child’s education, supporting the teachers charged with helping to educate the young people who walk through their doors. You’ll notice I said “helping,” when I refer to teachers. They can’t do it alone. They need parental support. Just ask your child’s teachers how you can help. They’ll be happy to include you in their goals to help educate your child.

On behalf of the Bureau County Republican, we wish all of you a great school year — students, parents, teachers, administrators and support staff.

••• Keeping the idea of back to school in mind, please remember there may be young people walking to school or the bus stop, who are more concerned about getting to school than safety measures. If you are a motorist, please take a few extra moments to look again and again. If you are a parent, please remind your precious children to follow good safety rules.

••• Our judges are in the process of reviewing all of our nominations for our annual Women of Distinction Awards. We had some great nominations — each and every one of the ladies nominated were deserving, so I know the judges are going to have a difficult time. We’ll be announcing the winners soon.

Mark your calendars now for the annual Women of Distinction Awards luncheon on Oct. 16. WGN cohost of the Kathy and Judy Show — Princeton’s own Kathy O’Malley is our keynote speaker, so you can expect a fun-filled time. It’s truly an inspirational event, and no doubt, you’ll leave the luncheon feeling good about life and the wonderful women who will ultimately make up our 2014 Women of Distinction! We’ll have more details about the luncheon soon. BCR Multi-Media Consultant Pam Marsh and I just reviewed the menu for the luncheon, and it sounds delicious. Again, if you attended last year, you know what a fun event this is. Hope to see you there. Information on reservations will be available soon.

••• I attended the Homestead Talent Showcase Saturday night, and it was fun to see so many of you there also. Wow! What great and talented local musicians we have! It was a fun event, and I hope you were able to attend too. You know, we often seek entertainment in the large cities, but quite frankly, the music I heard Saturday night was outstanding — second to none.

••• Congratulations to the local ladies who played in the Illinois Valley Women’s Golf Invitational at Green River Country Club on Sunday. Also, congrats to St. Matthew’s on their win in the church league!

••• Next week is the Bureau County Fair! Wow! Where has the summer gone? Have a great week. Be safe.

And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

“Kids today need to be encouraged and taught good sportsmanship. I lead by example.”

Considerations by Nedda We all have a long list of reasons to be grateful. In fact, it is suggested we occasionally remind ourselves of those reasons. Good mental health and all.

We have great growing weather, lovely changes in seasons, great soil for crops and livestock. It has made most of us able to make up a good life. As older folks, we have seen many seasons, changes around the world, and astounding advances in science and medicine.

We have all benefited by the good efforts and intentions of others.

With all these gifts, we would think that all have an equal chance to make a good life. We really all know

Nedda Simon COMMENTARY

better than that, and even some elders are having a tough time.

We can pay back for those gifts.

Thousands of seniors volunteer, but we can do a lot more. Time given is precious, and we all see organizations asking for people to sign up even for a day, a week. Volunteer hours translate into money for nonprofits. They can show it as match

when applying for grants, etc.

Funny thing about helping others. We learn more about how others live, the organization’s needs and goals, meet new people, and how to better work with others. It has been said before, the volunteers get so much more from the experience. Of course, it tells us again how lucky we are to be able to live in this country.

We have no excuses not to help.

It does not take much. We all can do something. Just find a cause and call them.

Letters THETO Editor Mautino is good for the Illinois Valley To the Editor, State Rep. Frank Mautino is an experienced leader who works for the benefit of everyone in the district — regardless of political party; and everyone — regardless of political party — benefits from his work.

When somebody walks into Frank’s office and asks for his help, he don’t ask what political party they belong to he just helps them successfully

resolve their problems. Mautino has the skill and experience to do it.

I was mayor of Granville for 12 years and on the council for eight, and when we needed anything, Frank Mautino was there for us. When the 2004 tornado devastated Granville, Mautino was on site to evaluate the damage immediately and worked tirelessly to help us rebuild. When the fire destroyed many buildings downtown, my council and I turned to state Rep. Frank Mautino for help in rebuilding. When we needed grant money for infrastructure improve-

ments and recreational facilities, Mautino was there for us and came through for us.

The bottom line is this: Republicans and Democrats who care about the area and want to keep building on the solid foundation that state Rep. Frank Mautino has helped our communities building should be supporting Mautino. He is a proven, effective leader who has brought great benefits to the communities he represents.

‘Bobby Ray,’ ‘Starvin’ Dog,’ come to Princeton Author to sign books at Homestead PRINCETON — It was almost 35 years ago that Jim Dossett and his wife, Brenda, first began visiting Princeton and Bureau County.

“I visited relatives here and was enamored with the area and the people from the first time I laid eyes on the place. We’ve considered moving here many times but never got around to it,” said Dossett, who moved to Tennessee (the place where he was born) in 1997, to learn more about his family and his heritage.

“I wrote for a small newspaper in a rural community there, and I learned a lot; I learned that my given name was Bobby Ray and that my biological father was a bandit, who escaped from jails and prisons seven times, two times with the help of my biological mother and his mother,” Dossett said.

According to Dossett, that scenario was the impetus for writing the mostly fictional book, “Find-

ing Bobby Ray” which is acclaimed in portions of East Tennessee and elsewhere. His love affair with Princeton and the surrounding area provided the momentum for writing his second book, “Starvin’ Dog and the Guardians.”

“The entire book does not take place in a place like Princeton, but I believe the most important part does,” he said. Readers of the book will notice Princeton in some descriptions of the town, which is named New Kingdom.

“I’ve dedicated the book to a friend of mine, Max Coville, who has lived in the area for 86 years,” said Dossett.

Dossett will be available to sell and sign copies of the book during Homestead Festival, Sept. 12-13.

In the meantime, “Finding Bobby Ray” and “Starvin’ Dog and the Guardians” may be purchased on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.

“I’m looking forward to talking to folks at the festival; maybe I’ll see some old acquaintances ... I don’t know; it’s been a long time,” he said.

Tammy Howlett of Green River is overcome by emotion after winning the Illinois Valley Women’s Golf Invitational for the first time on her home course Sunday.

Home Sweet Home Howlett, Green River capture IVWGI crown

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

WALNUT — The 56th annual Illinois Valley Women’s Golf Invitational kicked off Sunday with a buzz of anticipation, as a never before champion would be crowned later in the afternoon.

A crowd slowly began to build around the ninth green as the day went on, and onlookers waited anxiously for the Championship Flight to finish and the scores to be posted.

After trailing Terry Folmer of Oak Ridge by five strokes after posting a 47 on the front, Tammy Howlett representing Green River Country Club needed to make a run on the final nine holes to get back in it.

And did she ever ... posting a 40 for a round of 87 to edge out Folmer by one stroke to take home the Illinois Valley Women’s Golf Invitational title. Alicia Yuvan of Spring Creek placed third at 89.

A wave of emotion ran over the firsttime winner, as she hugged friends and family. Tears of joy began to roll down her face as she embraced her husband, Mike Howlett, president of Green River Country Club.

After 10-plus years of playing this tournament, Tammy had finally broken through to become champion, and she

“It’s still not sinking in yet; I just thought I shot a 47 on the front and came back with a 40,” Howlett said. “I thought that was pretty good, so I didn’t think it was good enough. But I guess it was.”

Howlett needed a stellar back nine to close the five-stroke gap on Folmer, but the most important single shot of the day, according to Howlett, came on the sixth hole.

“My chip-in for eagle on 6,” Howlett said thinking about the turning point in her day.

PRINCETON — St. Matthew’s won the 2014 Princeton Fastpitch Church League Tournament Saturday with two wins over previously unbeaten Bunker Hill.

Top-seeded St. Matthew’s blanked two-seeded Bunker Hill 12-0 in the first game and 11-0 in the second game to win the double-elimination tournament for the first time since 2012.

In the first game, St. Matthew’s scored once in the second inning, four times in the third inning highlighted by a homer by Dayton Ince, six more in the fourth and once in the fifth to evoke the 10-run rule after five innings.

St. Matthew’s 11, Bunker Hill 0 (5 innings). WP: B. Snethen (5ip, 4h, 0r, 2k, 0w). LP: A. Gutshall (3ip, 9h, 7r, 1k, 1w).

Leading hitters: SM - D. Ince (3-3, hr, 2b, 4rbi), E. Waca (2-3, hr, 2b, 3rbi), J. Henegar (2-2), C. Waca (3-3).

206-yard hole, Howlett calmly walked to her ball that had settled just off the green, elected to chip with her putter and sunk the mid-range shot giving her an eagle as well as momentum for the rest of the day.

The host team won the team championship with a score of 372. Joining Howlett for Green River were Angie Carl (91), Karen Anderson (93) and Rosie Wallace (101).

Howlett attributed some of her success Sunday on knowing the course, in particular the greens, as others not as familiar with the course struggled in this area.

“I struggled with putting. I had like 50 putts today,” Sophia Suarez, a senior golfer for Princeton High School said as she played Green River for only the second time.

Suarez finished the day in sixth place with a score of 96.

Anderson, the Green River chairwoman, played well except for one hole that was her downfall, as she placed fifth in what was at least her 13th consecutive time playing in the tournament.

“The back nine I started out with a nine, and that wasn’t pretty. I tried

to get my groove back but that just didn’t happen,” Anderson said. ”I chipped and putted better than normal, and that was good because that’s not normally my strong point. Usually my long game is my better game, but that wasn’t so today.”

Anderson attributes the success of the tournament to the sportsmanship between the competitors and the hard work of the volunteers and staff.

“Everything ran smoothly; they have a lot of volunteers. It was nice having all these people step up to help out and make such a great day and tournament,” Anderson said.

Notes: Champions from the other flights include Kathy Potthoff, representing Spring Creek in Flight A with a round of 92; Bonnie Skaggs of Indian Hills in Flight B with a round of 94; and Kathy Farrell of Chapel Hill in Flight C with a round a 97 ... Chapel Hill was the low net team winner, paced by Kathy Farrell (65), Teri Mertens (70), Linda Winkelman (72) and Nancy Debord (74). Winkelman was the Super Senior Champion ... Spring Creek’s Kathy Potthoff was the senior champion at 92.

Your skin is always making new skin cells that rise to the top to replace the old ones.

Every minute you lose 30,000 to 40,000 dead skin cells off the surface of your skin.

The epidermis is the top layer of skin. It waterproofs your body and keeps germs out.

When you get hot, your pores open and sweat comes out. You cool off when the sweat evaporates.

Cells in your epidermis make something called melanin. Melanin gives skin its color.

Patches of skin with extra melanin are called freckles.

This gland produces sweat, also known as perspiration.

Your oil glands make oil that keeps your skin moist and soft. Too much can clog a pore and make a pimple.

Find the letters that spell each of the following words on one page of the newspaper. Use different color crayons to connect the letters in order to spell each word.

This tiny muscle attached to each hair follicle makes hairs stand up when you get goosebumps.

Each square inch of human skin consists of twenty blood vessels.

Which parts of your body don’t have hair?

Unscramble these words to find out.

Hairs grow from holes in the skin called follicles. You have follicles on almost every part of your body.

This thicker layer of skin has blood vessels, sweat glands, hair roots and nerve endings which let you sense pain, touch, heat and cold.

Over the course of a year, how many pounds of skin cells does the average person lose? Add up the numbers along the correct path.

When you go out into the sun, your cells make extra melanin to protect you from getting burned. Wearing sun screen is important, too.

Humans have skin, but so do other living things. Draw a line from each living thing to the name of its “skin.”

This old saying means that good deeds are more important than good looks and that you become beautiful by acting in a beautiful way.
