Weaver talks budget, business State senator hosts town hall meeting

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — State Sen. Chuck Weaver (37th District) hosted a town hall meeting Wednesday, Aug. 10, at the Prouty Building in Princeton to discuss the state’s budget issues and shared reforms Gov. Bruce Rauner is pushing for that could help solve the financial condition Illinois

is facing today.

The two major issues that need to be looked at, according to Weaver, are state spending and how the state treats businesses.

He shared Illinois has an outstanding airport hub, is State Sen. Chuck Weaver one of the leading states in agriculture and third highest manufacturing output than any state in the union. While this sounds great for Illinois, Weaver also shared it is the only state in the union that hasn’t gotten back to pre-recession employment levels and

lost 56 jobs a day last year.

Weaver is pushing for workers’ compensation reform, which he believes would help prevent businesses from sending jobs to other states with lower workers’ comp costs.

When it comes to the state’s budget, Weaver said while some believe the state should raise taxes, the problem with that can be explained with facts on how Illinois performed after its tax increase in 2011, which raised $32 billion. During the four-year term, the state had five bond decreases; pension liability went up $20 billion; and school funding went on a pro-

ration, according to Weaver.

“We were basically funding less than we had in the past with schools,” he said. “A tax increase doesn’t solve it.”

Weaver shared he is strongly against another tax increase, however if Rauner has to negotiate a tax hike with House Speaker Michael Madigan in order to get state reform, he will follow Rauner’s lead.

While a tax hike may fix operational problems in the state, reforms could be solutions to foundation issues in the picture Weaver painted during the meeting.

County board hears from CPASA, B.E.S.T. Board approves two resolutions

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Board on Tuesday, Aug. 9, unanimously passed a resolution supporting National Overdose Awareness Week, which will be recognized the week of Aug. 28.

The resolution highlights the fact Bureau County had a higher fatality rate from drug overdose than car accidents last year. The awareness week will be nationally recognized in memory of lost loved ones or those who have been met with death or permanent injury as a result of a drug overdose.

including Bureau County Coroner Janice Wamhoff spoke with board members about the resolution and programs CPASA has started to help those living with substance abuse and to help prevent the risk of further substance abuse in our communities.

Dawn Conerton, director of CPASA, talked about the programs CPASA has done since its inception in 2007. Throughout

the years, the substance abuse coalition grew from seven to 143 active members. The prescription take back program has collected more than 10,000-pounds since 2010. The coalition also received funding and donations for its own incinerator, which sits at the Princeton Police Department, to get rid of the collected prescription drugs.

TISKILWA — The Tiskilwa Village Board on Tuesday, Aug. 9, debated what residents should pay for garbage collection, but ultimately decided after a lengthy discussion to tackle the issue in coming months.

Tiskilwa Village Board President Randy Philhower said the village needs to collect $60,000 a year on average for the next seven years of the contract with Illinois Valley Waste Services.

“People who use more should pay more per month,” said Philhower, referring to the current system of each bag or garbage can must display a $1 sticker on it to be collected each week. This fee is in addition to the regular monthly fee of $15 per house that is charged on the monthly water/garbage bill.

Trustee Steve McKenney feels the first bag or can of garbage per household shouldn’t be required to sport a $1 sticker. “Many people don’t like the tags,” he said. “Many residents don’t want garbage tags.”

Fly like an Eagle

Tiskilwa native spreads his wings to overcome obstacles on his way to becoming an Eagle Scout

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

TISKILWA — Being an Eagle Scout requires hard work and a determined mindset. It mandates leadership of everyone under your wing and asks for endurance and resolve when faced with challenges. It requires you to remain calm when facing the unknown and to appreciate the earth for all its splendor and useful offerings.

As it turns out, being a good person requires the same.

Steven Behrends has been a Boy Scout since he was just a young lad. He said the first year he was a little nervous because it was brand new to him, but he looked up to his Scout leaders, who over the years taught him to tie knots, set up a tent, gather firewood and inherit the forest as few outside of the scouting ranks do.

“We had to know how to read a compass and read the land — manipulate the environment to our advantage,” Behrends said, noting each year he got better at everything being instructed. “A Scout doesn’t freak out because if you get lost in the forest, you look up at the stars and read them to find your way back to safety.”

Troop 1068 meets in Princeton every Tuesday.

Scout leaders instruct the young pathfinders to be marksmen in their communities, aiming to better everyone and everything around them through community service and raw knowledge of the natural resources available around every curve of the path.

Behrends said he really likes camping, listening to stories around the campfire and being around the other boys/men. Earning badges through fitness of the mind and the muscles is a favorite activity of his as well. He traveled to the Boundary Waters in Min-

nesota about five years back, earning his canoe badge after floating 100 miles through the currents of the earth while carrying his canoe overhead from one waterway to the next.

Each Scout starts off as a Cub Scout, and then moves through the ranks of the Boy Scouts — Tenderfoot, Second-Class, First-Class, Star, Life, and finally Eagle — the most prestigious rank a Scout can attain.

“The more experience and knowledge you have, the more badges you earn and the higher your ranking gets,” Behrends said, voicing his joy in cheering on his comrades through their personal journeys.

“It’s been fun climbing the ladder, and it’s a nice accomplishment each time you move up. All my friends have helped me on my way to becoming an Eagle Scout.”

Behrends said his parents encouraged him to join Boy Scouts when he was young so he would become more independent and make friends who would respect and help him throughout his walk.

Behrends has Down Syndrome, and although he portrays a high-functioning version of the genetic disorder, he has certainly experienced the lowest members of society who have nothing better to do but judge the appearance of others.

“When someone makes fun of me, I usually just walk away; but if I have the chance I say, ‘Please don’t look at me that way … Just stop,’” he said, standing strong as a unique individual whose good nature is strikingly evident from the moment he first approaches. “I respect myself, and I care for people, helping them out a lot, and I don’t want others to look at my physical appearance but rather my positive attitude.”

Behrends said every-

Eagle Scout Steven Behrends displays many of the badges he has earned over his last 15 years in Boy Scouts.

He said his greatest aspiration would be to earn a leadership position in the scouting ranks, as to pass on the knowledge that has helped him so much in his personal journey. one has an opportunity to assist someone with a handicap, and he gets frustrated when people choose to sink into the shadows rather than rise to the occasion. Throughout the conversation, Behrends repeatedly spoke of illuminating the best qualities in others simply by encouraging them to believe in themselves.

All Eagle Scouts have to do a community service project, and Behrends and his fellow troop members are going to build bat houses on farming properties around the county — as to encourage bats to stay in areas frequented by the public. They were tasked with seeking donations from local businesses, friends and family members as to pay for the lumber and supplies.

“It’s killer to be an Eagle Scout because people respect that, and if I could do any job I’d want to be

a Scout leader, because I love going into a setting and improving it,” he said, stating his family and friends have always treated him as an equal.

Those who make fun of others are simply insecure in their own skin, and Steven walks the earth like a comedian, a spark plug, an example of appreciation … someone in tune with nature because he is in tune with himself.

When asked how much he has learned from Boy Scouts, Behrends simply exhaled and stared out into the forest, attempting to capture the wonderful ribbon of memories that have defined such achievement over the years.

“My family has supported me throughout this experience, and being a Scout has helped me all the way. It’s a big part of my life.”

Members of the group also became Beverage Alcohol Sellers and Servers Trainers (BASSET).

It’s now state law that everyone who sells and serves alcohol needs to be trained by a BASSET trainer. CPASA also put together a Hidden in Plain Sight program that brings awareness to ways children can hide drugs and paraphernalia in their own bedrooms.

Also, the coalition has worked on e-cigarette policies, festival event guides and is currently working on curriculum in local school districts.

In February, CPASA also helped coordinate an opiate recovery group, which meets Mondays at the New Hope of Nazarene Church in Princeton.

“We need all of you to be aware it’s out there and that we’re doing stuff to try to make a difference in Bureau County and Putnam County, and we’re moving down into Marshall County and very excited about that,” Conerton said.

B.E.S.T. to assist students transition into workforce Also on Tuesday, Aug. 9, the board approved a resolution supporting Workforce Development Week, which will be recognized from Aug. 29 to Sept. 4.

Weaver From Page 1 “Speaker Madigan is saying we need a tax increase to pass a balanced budget, and the governor is saying we tried that; it didn’t work.

And I’m only going to pass that budget if I get reform,” Weaver said.

Many members in the audience expressed frustrations and disappointments in why solutions cannot be made sooner and disbelief at how lawmakers have put the issue on hold until after the November election.

Bureau County Senior Center Director Denise Ihrig spoke up and said social services agencies now have to sit back six

Pam Furlan, a representative from B.E.S.T. (Business Employment Skills Team), gave an overview of what her organization has been working on over the past year and shared a success story about how someone from the Bureau County area used B.E.S.T. to transition into a new successful career after losing a previous job.

Furlan said last year B.E.S.T. started the Illinois Workforce Opportunity Coalition, which is made up of local businesses and education representatives. The coalition members get together to discuss solutions to better prepare students for the workforce.

Next year, B.E.S.T. will be working with the business community and schools to establish internships for youth.

“Through internships (students) will be able to learn the essential skills and get some work experience at a work site,” she said.

Furlan said right now her office is focusing on the manufacturing industry. It’s hosted several job fairs in the eight counties it serves. Right now, B.E.S.T. is trying to organize the state’s first-ever virtual job fair, where employers and job-seekers will be able to communicate online with one another.

Ihrig said she understood there will have to be cuts made somewhere, and while she’s not happy about that, she would agree with it if it meant agencies would start receiving funding from the state.

Weaver told her to continue speaking out about her frustrations and said he wished he had a magic wand to solve the state’s budget issue today.

Mott: From Bureau Valley to IVCC Former BV educator to be instrumental in new ag program at community college

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — After 11 years of teaching at Bureau Valley High School, Willard Mott of Neponset has decided to take a new direction in his profession.

Mott recently accepted a position at Illinois Valley Community College (IVCC), where he will work to promote and grow the college’s agriculture department.

Throughout his years at Bureau Valley, Mott turned a part-time agriculture program into one that earned state and national recognition, managed a school farm and grew FFA membership 200 percent.

While he’s proud of his accomplishments at Bureau Valley, Mott explained the area was always a very supportive ag community and had the potential to grow the way it did.

With that behind him now, Mott looks forward to the new opportunities that lie ahead.

When talking about his plans, Mott explained the strong demand for an ag program in IVCC’s district.

He explained students grow up here, live here, study here, farm here, go to school here, and if the community is wanting more students to stay local and be educat-

ed in the agriculture program, it’s vital to give them an education that will allow that opportunity.

Currently, IVCC’s ag transfer program allows students to enroll and take general education courses and a sequence of four ag classes before transferring to either University of Illinois, Illinois State University, Western Illinois University or Southern Illinois University, according to Mott. He said IVCC is now looking to develop a two-year program where students can complete a sequence of courses and receive an associate’s degree in agriculture.

IVCC is also looking to add instructors and courses to create a full agriculture department.

Mott will begin teaching agriculture courses in IVCC’s transfer program, while working to promote the ag department. He is looking forward to working with a supportive and motivated administration.

IVCC President Jerry Corcoran and the board of trustees at IVCC are prepared to do what’s necessary for the program to flourish. The board has spent a year working with an advisory committee that researched and studied the advantages of

Drowning is No. 1 cause of unintentional injury death for children ages 1 to 4

Notice of special Princeton council meeting PRINCETON — The Princeton City Council will meet in special public session at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16, at City Hall, 2 S. Main St. in Princeton.

The agenda for the meeting includes a city manager report to the council on the financial budget analysis, as presented by Bob Nowak. No actions will be taken by the council at the meeting.

The Princeton City Council will then adjourn to its next regularly scheduled meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 6, at City Hall.

Garbage From Page 1 Trustee Wendy Sims said she would like stickers to be eliminated, citing the inconvenience of having to buy them on the night before the early morning pickup the next day.

Philhower said if the tags are eliminated, he feels there will be a townwide cleanup each week. “If the weight (of garbage) goes up, the company will want to renegotiate their contract because they will be losing money,” added Philhower, who then said the company based its garbage collection rates on what they have been collecting in the village in the past.

Trustee Gene Gustafson said he has never heard anything about residents not liking the stickers on their bags.

About 14,000 stickers were sold to Tiskilwa residents in the past year. There are about 325-350 households in Tiskilwa where garbage can be picked up on a weekly basis if the resident puts it out. Some older residents don’t put out more than one or

Summer is here, which means millions of people hit the pools, beaches and lakes to cool off and take in the sun.

The nation’s emergency physicians strongly advise all parents and guardians to get their children familiar with water — specifically teaching them to swim safely as early as possible.

“It only takes a few seconds and a few inches of water for a child to drown,” said Dr. Jay Kaplan, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians. “While it’s impossible to predict and prevent every scenario, you can take steps to protect kids, stay safe and still enjoy the water.”

two bags of garbage a month, reported Philhower.

The new seven-year contract with Illinois Valley Waste Services starts in January 2017.

In other business: • Trustees approved not spending more than $12,500 to remodel a village-owned building on Main Street to make a small office space for the village clerk to use and shelves to hold village records, taking them out of plastic containers and out of filing cabinets in the village clerk’s basement.

• Trustees approved spending $1,800-$2,000 with Putnam County Painting to paint the village’s water tank and discussed spending an estimated $7,500 in plumbing materials and labor costs to install a bathroom in the village’s shop building.

• Trustee Eric Paull reported the village was able to get a higher interest rate for three certificates of deposit with Henry State Bank.

• Trustees also approved paying $500 in yearly dues to the North Central Illinois Council of Governments.

Facts about drowning

Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional injury death among children between 1 and 4 years of age, with almost 400 cases reported in 2014, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Young children aren’t the only ones affected.

Every day about 10 people die from unintentional drowning.

Overall, it ranks fifth for unintentional injury death in the United States. More than 50 percent of drowning victims who are treated at emergency departments require extended hospitalization or long-term care.

Several factors can contribute to a person drowning, and obviously not all of them can be controlled.

However, steps can be taken to keep a child and even an adult safe as possible when near or in the water.

Ways to stay safe

• Supervise young children: They must be watched at all times when near water. It can take only a matter of seconds for a child to accidentally drown when an adult turns away.

• Learn to swim: Formal swim lessons can

protect people, especially young children from drowning.

• Learn CPR: It can take paramedics several minutes to arrive. Having CPR skills often times can mean the difference between life and death or permanent brain damage.

• Use the buddy system: Never swim alone.

Always be with someone. Swim in areas that have lifeguards on duty if possible.

• Don’t drink and swim: Drinking alcohol while on a boat or swimming in the water can severely impair a person’s judgment and cognitive skills.

Also, never drink alcohol while supervising children.

• Use life jackets: When on a boat, make sure the number of (Coast Guard approved) life jackets match the number of passengers on the boat and that they are easily accessible in case of emergency. Young children should have a life vest on at all times in a boat, or in the water. Potentially half of all boating deaths might be prevented with the use of life jackets.

• Air-filled or foam toys not safety devices: These toys are not substitutes for life jackets and are not designed to keep swimmers safe.

• Be aware of weather conditions: If strong winds or heavy thunderstorms and lightning roll in, get out of the water and seek shelter immediately.

• Understand waves and rip currents: If on the beach, watch for dangerous waves and rip currents. If caught in a rip current, swim parallel to the shore. Once free of the current, swim toward the shore.

• Don’t overestimate your swimming ability : Everyone has limits, even the most experienced of swimmers. For more information on drowning or other health-related topics, please go to www.

My Olympic dream

In the past few days, I’ve spent some time watching the Olympics. As always, I am thoroughly impressed with the athletic prowess of these phenomenal athletes.

As for me, I’m not much of an athlete. I’m sure that surprises you. ...

• OK, I do like to swim, but the idea of Terri anyone – not to menSimon tion the entire TV viewing public, seeing me COMMENTARY in a swimming suit is more than I can fathom.

• I did take dancing lessons and tumbling when I was a little girl, but I could never even master a cartwheel.

• The last time I played sand (beach) volleyball, I fell down three times in the first three volleys.

• I do have a bicycle, but I have a terrible time remembering which hand brake controls the front brake and which one controls the back brake.

• And then there’s basketball ... at nearly 5 foot, 3 inches tall, I’d be better suited as the one who gets everybody a Gatorade.

• Canoeing? Never been in one. Well, I was once, ... but the person I was with said once was enough.

• Diving? The swimsuit rule applies.

• Field hockey is fun to watch, but something about running up and down a field with a stick seems counterproductive to my theory of living.

• I do enjoy a good round of golf, but I still have trouble with all the rules and protocols associated with the game. Whiffing the ball is actually my specialty.

• Handball seems a bit too claustrophobic for me.

• Rowing and sailing seem like calm little sports, but the Olympic athletes are way too serious about speed. In my book, those two sports should be done slowly with a glass of wine and maybe some homemade cookies.

• Soccer. See field hockey above, minus the stick.

• Wrestling to me revolves around watching it on TV with my grandpa many years ago. Let’s see, ... there was the Crusher, Vern Gagne, Doctor X, Kenny Jay. ... Other than the figure-four leg lock, I’m at a loss.

• While weightlifting is an Olympic sport, I’m not sure why. However, I am pretty good at carrying in 10 bags of groceries at one time, just so I don’t have to make more than one trip from the car to the kitchen.

• I’m not really sure what water polo is, though I think it involves a horse, a stick and a swimming suit.

• I’m really surprised trampoline is a sport.

• The track and field events all involve running and jumping – two things that I’m not the best at.

• Taekwondo is way too structured for my free-spirited attitude, though I respect all those people who can chop a cement block into two pieces with their hand or foot.

• The shooting events could be a good sport for me, though the only practice I’ve had is with BB guns, and that was about 50 years ago.

• The equestrian sports could be a bright spot. I had a pony named Bunny once. She did kick me and bucked me off way too many times, but I did gain a few muscles by cleaning out her stall.

• I used to play tennis a few years back, and quite frankly, I was pretty good at it. It did cause an immense amount of sweating, something I try to avoid at all costs these days.

• Badminton was fun when I was a child. As an adult, I’m not sure I see the point. Seems like a lot of energy is exerted to chase around a little birdie. Plus, I’m not a fan of birds.

• Archery seems like a safe enough sport for this old girl. Of course, that statement in and of itself tells you while I shouldn’t have a bow and arrow in my hands.

• Ironically, I really like to watch boxing on TV. The key word in that statement is “watch.”

• Fencing probably doesn’t involve making a straight fence line like I used to do with Grandpa. Something about having a sword in my hand seems counterproductive.

• OK. I think I’ve found my sport. Who doesn’t like a good game of table tennis? Or as I like to call it, ping pong.

I love that game. That’s it. I’m going to start training now.

Watch for me in four years. I’ll be standing on the podium with the gold medal around my neck with the tears rolling down my cheeks as they play the national anthem.

See there is something for everyone. You gotta love the Olympics ...

Greg Wallace COMMENTARY Why does dog poop smell so much worse right after I step in it?

This is just one of the many, many deep and scintillating thoughts I contemplated last night while I sat atop the riding lawn mower. In actuality, this is where some of my best thinking time takes place. It is my sincere belief that “The Thinker,” the famous sculpture by Rodin, would be much more realistic if he were bouncing across a mole-infested lawn, dodging dog toys, poised, deep in thought, upon a John Deere lawn mower with a 42-inch deck.

It takes approximately anywhere between 45 minutes to five-anda-half hours to mow my yard, depending on such variables as how good of a job I want to do and if something good is on TV. We have a big farmyard with quite a bit of straight-line mowing that lends itself to letting the mind wander. I don’t need much help in that area.

Granted, many of the thoughts aren’t very intellectual and involve how far something would fly if I hit it with a John Deere lawn mower with a 42-inch deck.

But after I derive the answer to that question by hitting the aforementioned stuff with a John Deere lawn mower with a 42-inch deck, my brain tends to settle down and think about much more important things. Such as the dog poop question. If I were to guess, I would surmise that at least seven to eight of every 10 Mensa society members have nice looking lawns.

Maybe it’s the smell of freshly cut grass wafting past my nostrils that helps clear my head and puts me into an almost dreamlike, zen state. Or maybe it’s the sound of a chopped up garden hose or small to medium size saplings inadvertently finding their way under the mowing deck that frees my subconscious and opens up some area of my brain that usually lies dormant. It’s probably the way the seat makes my butt shake that gets the blood flowing.

It didn’t used to be that way.

When I was a kid, all I thought about while mowing the yard was

how much I hated mowing the yard. We had this old yellow push mower. I can’t remember what brand it was, but I do remember having to pull the old rip cord on the Briggs and Stratton motor.

There wasn’t any kind of electric starter or fuel primer button. You just had to monkey around with the choke and keep pulling until it would eventually chug to life.

Come to think about it, those might have been some of my first forays into the wonderful world of profanity. Ahhhhhhh ... good times.

I liked to call that lawn mower Old Yeller. Not so much because it was a dear and trusted, faithful, canine-like friend, but because I wanted to take it out behind the barn and shoot it. We had a bunch of what we called water grass that grew in several areas of the yard (and still does to this day), and Old Yeller would tend to clog up a couple hundred times a mowing session. Plus, the kid that lived at my house had a terrible habit of leaving his toys and sports equipment laying around, so I’d have to mow around them, kick them to the side, or just mow them over, depending on the size, price and/ or popularity of the toy. That kid was such a jerk.

However, now that I’m worldly and mature, mowing has become something more. Mowing has become almost, dare I say, relaxing. When I mow, I think about scientific questions, American and world history questions, religious and ethical questions, politics, the world of entertainment, trivia, etc. ... Some of my

best comic strip ideas have come to me sitting on that torn up yellow seat. I forget most of them because I never have anything to write on. Heck, I thought of writing this column while mowing the yard.

I realize that different people have different ways of thinking.

Some ride on a Simplicity or maybe even a Cub Cadet lawn mower. Some probably even ride on one of those fancy-schmancy zero-turn radius mowers. I imagine Albert Einstein had one of those. Maybe we can stick the current presidential candidates’ hind ends on a couple of LawnBoys and let them consider some of the stuff they’ve been jabbering about over the past couple days, weeks and months. It couldn’t hurt.

I also realize in this world, there are some folks who are under the assumption there are other ways to think about things. There are your car-driving thinkers, your shower-taking thinkers and your toilet-sitting thinkers. However, the more I mow and the more I think about it, all of those people are just wrong. The best ideas come cutting grass.

And in case you’re wondering, approximately 5 to 7 feet in a somewhat straight line is how far dried dog poop will fly when you hit it with a John Deere lawn mower with a 42-inch deck. The fresh stuff doesn’t go quite as far, but the radius is much larger.

TO Letter THE Editor

We need to prioritize To the Editor, With the closing of the East Tower at Bureau Valley South (Buda), I have heard and seen a lot of negative comments about how the proposed addition in Manlius to move the combined junior high that got stopped last summer would have eliminated this current mess. Anyone that knows me, knows that I was one of “them” against the junior high addition.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I know for myself and others, the reason we are against it is because “factually” it doesn’t solve the problem we are in.

Fact 1: We were just told Tuesday night the West Tower is at best, barely, better than the one we just closed.

Fact 2: The proposed addition

to the high school would have solved the building issues for sixth through eighth grade, leaving the third - fifth-graders displaced with a now full high school and nowhere to go. I have heard we don’t want to Band-Aid anything.

I feel the addition would have been a Band-Aid, unless someone is willing to guarantee me the West Tower is good for another 20 years?

Facts 3 and 4: A motion was made during a previous board meeting last year to build a new K-8 in Sheffield but couldn’t get seconded. Very expensive and timely option, but would be a long-term fix. A proposal was given by another board member that had estimates to have both towers replaced by new construction building basically utilizing the

current gym and cafeteria in Buda.

This would be a less expensive and quicker option that would also be a long-term solution. I was on board with these solutions because they solved the unsafe building issues for everyone, not just the sixththrough eighth-grade students.

Maybe now these proposals could get a second look leading to actions being taken to address children’s well-being. I know options like these could get district-wide support.

We can’t afford to do everything we want; let’s begin to prioritize.

Do we want to go through all this again in a couple years or sooner for the third- through fifth-grade students when the West Tower has a similar issue?

The Rebecca Caudill group will meet at the library for fun talks, games and snacks, ending with a pizza party and voting in February 2017.

The library is also taking part in choosing the Abraham Lincoln High School Book Award. This award will be chosen from 20 nominees and voted on by participating high school students. The program will be conducted in the same manner as the Rebecca Caudill program. If interested in joining either of these groups, contact the library for a list of the nominated books.

Wisconsin Sheep, Wool Festival is Sept. 8-11 JEFFERSON, WIS. — The Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival runs from Sept. 8-11 at the Jefferson County Fair Park in Jefferson, Wis. The festival expands to four days this year with the addition of a full schedule of fiber arts classes offered on Thursday, Sept. 8.

With a total of 91 classes, the focus on fiber education for the Jefferson event now provides opportunities for vendors to teach or take classes and makes the class schedule even more accessible to the general public. Thirty-nine instructors from as far away as Maine and California will handle the teaching duties, covering topics as diverse as Appalachian hearth broom making to beginning spinning; cold process soap making to Navajo weaving.

Festival planners emphasize, however, that on Thursday the event will be open only to those persons registered for fiber arts classes and not to the general public.

Thursday will continue to be a set up day for all fes-

tival activities, shows and vendors, though some food stands will be open for business. The Country Store will not be open for sales until Friday at 10 a.m.

More than 500 fiber arts students are expected to register for classes this year.

Daily admission to the festival is $8 per person (kids 8 and under are free)

for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Weekend passes are available at $15 per person. Parking is free.

For complete details, to request a catalog, and registration or entry information, go to www.wisconsinsheepandwoolfestival.com. The Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival LLC is a function of the Wisconsin Sheep Breeders Cooperative.

Sexton chases down national title, AMA award LaMoille native Chase Sexton is all smiles after winning the AMA Motocross Horizon Award recently in Tennessee.

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

HURRICANE MILLS, Tenn. — Chase Sexton has set his sights on the AMA Motocross Horizon Award for many years.

On Aug. 6, the LaMoille native chased that prestigious award down during the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at the Loretta Lynn Ranch.

The award is given to a rider who shows the most promise as he or she prepares to enter the professional ranks.

The 16 year old won the Open Pro Sport class and took second overall in the 250

A class on his Honda. Sexton also captured the fastest lap of the weekend with a 1:52.716.

“It means a lot to win the Open Pro Sport championship and receive the Horizon Award,” Sexton told the BCR. “I’ve been wanting to win this award since I’ve been a little kid, and to actually win it is a big weight off my shoulders.

I’m honored to be among the list of some of the greatest in this sport that have won the award.”

Sexton has been racing since he was 4 years old. He and his family have recently moved to Clermont, Fla., so he can train year round.

AMA Director of Racing Bill Cumbow said Sexton had a stellar week, and it was his pleasure to congratulate him on earning the 2016 AMA Motocross Horizon Award.

“Chase and the event’s other champions not only raced through a challenging week against the country’s best, but they rose through an increasingly competitive AMA Area Qualifier and Regional Championship program to earn their spot at the national,” Cumbow said in a press release.

The nationals produced 37 championships in all.

PRINCETON — The Princeton Fastpitch Church League is not just for men anymore.

While there has been female players before, this season has seen more females in action than every before. Six of the seven teams have had at least one female in uniform, with just enough (nine) to field their own team, a formidable one at that.

Princeton Bible Church, which had no female players this year, has had its share of girls playing in years past.

St. Louis/Covenant has produced what is believed to be the first all-female battery with pitcher Kelsey Branaan and catcher Brianna Kamphius this year.

While there has been female pitchers and female catchers in the league, there has not been a time with a pair playing pitch and catch together.

Branaan, 25, is a 2009 graduate of LaSalle-Peru High School and pitched for Western Illinois Univer-

“It’s a little different throwing to men, because men hit the ball a little harder sometimes.”

Kelsey Brannon sity. She found out about the league through her connections as athletic trainer at PHS and is loving it.

“It’s a lot of fun. It’s fun to know we can still play fastpitch after the fact for me, because I didn’t know there was a fastpitch league around. So that was great to be able to get back out there,” Brannon said.

She said it was an adjustment pitching to men and farther pitching distance.

“It’s a little different throwing to men, because men hit the ball a little harder sometimes,” Brannon said. “It’s also different, because they backed it (the mound) up three feet.

Happ-enings Keeping up with St. Bede graduate J.A. Happ of the Toronto Blue Jays

Last start: Happ silenced the high-potent Tampa Rays’ offense Thursday, pitching six scoreless innings at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. The 33-year-old lefty struck out seven and scattered four hits. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said, “That sounds like Cy Young stuff.” Visit http://m.bluejays.mlb. com/news/article/194852466/ja-happ-wins-16th-blue-jays-shutout-rays/ for a full report.

Season at a glance: Happ is the first pitcher in the big leagues to reach 16 wins (16-3), lowering his ERA to 2.96.

Coach Rich Cummings said the Bruins look to improve on their finish in conference and advance to sectional.

The Bruins tee off the season Thursday, Aug. 18 at Baker Park in Kewanee.

Bureau Valley

While the Storm returns six players with a total of 10 years varsity experience, the Bureau Valley golfers will be young once again.

Junior captain Spencer Marquez was an honorable mention selection in the Three Rivers in his first year on varsity last year. He’s joined by senior Michael Law, juniors Colton Novotny and Garrett Pistole, and sophomore Corbin Walsh.

“We are still relying on our youth to carry us this season. However, most of them are now juniors, so we are hoping that experience will start to play a role in some of these match/ tournaments,” BV coach Dan Gustafson said. “Our team is very focused this year with a lot of determination. The boys spent a lot of time this summer on the course and really want to compete this season.”

The Storm open the season

Former Princeton High School golfer Mason Kimberley (class of 2007) has taken over as the new Red Devils coach. He succeeds Tom Bauer, who resigned after last season.

Kimberley inherits a program nine strong, headed by senior Matt Hoscheid, who takes aim on capturing his first state finals berth. He’s joined by classmates Pablo Lule, Hayden Nielsen and Connor Whitten, junior Patrick Cousar, sophomores Wyatt Clepper, Chance Resetich and Nathan Torri and freshman Robert Groleau.

“We have a relatively inexperienced team, but they are all eager to learn and improve throughout the season,” Kimberley said.

Kimberley, who was the runner-up in last week’ IV Men’s Open, was an assistant coach at Princeton last year.

The Red Devils travel to Maple Bluff Golf Course in Geneseo Monday.

Amboy/ LaMoille

Caleb Sarff, a LaMoille junior, heads up the Clippers squad which is now a member of the Northwest Upstate Illini Conference. Sarff carried a 43.7 average and was a sectional qualifier.

Other squad members are sophomores Clayton Kemp and Gavin Gross.

Princeton Fastpitch Church League Honor Roll of champions

From Page 11 In college we throw 43 feet. You never throw 46. So that takes a little adjustment.

And I haven’t thrown in three years. So I came in, knocked off three years worth of rust and you back me up three feet.”

The Church League has also had it share of father-daughter games this season.

Bureau Township’s Janessa Hart (Dan) and Hanah Hart (Bob) have played alongside their dads this year with all four Harts playing at one time together.

Adrienne Snethen has followed in her dad’s (Brad) footsteps, pitching one inning for St. Matthews and batting on other occasions.

United Methodist has brought Erin Stroup down from Sterling to play shortstop this season, through work connections with UMC captain Rex Lasson and Stroup’s father. She led Sterling High School to the Elite Eight in 3A this spring, falling in the super-sectional to Mundelein Carmel one game short of the state tournament.

The Northern Illinois Big 12 West MVP set school records in homers (15), hits (72) and RBIs (53) while batting .514. No wonder Lasson said Stroup “is a delight to have on our team.”

Stroup, the Sauk Valley Media Player of the Year, will play for the University of Illinois-Springfield next spring.

Bunker Hill has benefited from the pitching talents of recent Hall graduate Heidi Nielsen the past few years, giving the Buda Church a solid arm in the absence of longtime hurler Adam Gutshall. Courtney Oeder, an incoming senior at PHS, also plays for Bunker Hill.

Jodi Hargis made her debut for the People Church this season.

Church bulletin: The tournament was set back one night with the rainout of Thursday’s loser’s bracket finale between top-seed Methodist and No. 5 Bureau Township and its subsequent retry Friday.

Those two will now meet at 7 p.m. Saturday with the championship night pushed back to Sunday, starting at 6 p.m. Saturday’s winner would need to beat St. Matts twice to wrestle away the title from the two-time defending league champions in the double-elimination tournament. St. Matts beat UMC 14-7 Tuesday and 4-2 for last year’s title. ... UMC last won the league title in 2013 when it topped St. Matthews in two games. BT seeks its first title, having lost to St. Matthews (2012) and Bunker Hill (2010) in title-game appearances.
