The ‘BEST’ way in the county County board hears report

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Board was thanked for its continued support in workforce development at Tuesday’s meeting.

Dianna Schuler, business services manager of Business Employment Skills Team, Inc. (BEST), spoke during the public comment period and gave a brief report on how many Bureau County residents have been served

by BEST. The non-profit organization carries a mission of fueling the prosperity and productivity of business by deliv-

ering a well-trained and adaptable workforce.

According to Schuler’s report, the number of residents served by BEST in the last year included 17 youth, 19 adults, 52 dislocated workers, an additional 19 dislocated workers throughout trade readjustment act resistance and 67 additional universal access customers.

“The individuals served during the past 12 months received assistance in schooling, possibly childcare and transportation to get to and from school,” she explained. “We also served other Bureau County residents who may have just come into the resource centers to use computers to write a resume, apply online for jobs or just look at the job board.”

Schuler also reported this summer, the program had received a $150,000 grant to help serve 75 youth throughout the course of the summer in their eight county region.

“We are excited that we received this money. It’s

something we traditionally do during the summer, and we have enrolled four youth from Bureau County,” she said.

Schuler shared a success story about a young DePue man who had gotten hired through the program. She said the young man was very persistent about getting signed up, and after a few routine obstacles, was finally hired to work grounds and janitorial at DePue High School.

“He’s received the highest marks possible on his evaluation last week,” she said.

Schuler also gave a brief update on the job fair held in Bureau County last year as a part of NCI Works’ “Just Hire One” initiative. The idea of the job fair was to encourage companies to hire just one more person, if possible, to help reduce the unemployment rate.

World’s largest national mock election accepting enrollees for 2014 midterms WASHINGTON, D.C. – Schools and teachers nationwide are encouraged to enroll now for the National Student/Parent Mock Election (NSPME), which has helped introduce more than 50 million children, teens and adults to democracy since 1980.

Coordinators who can help recruit and guide participating schools in their designated state or region are also needed, according to NSPME organizers.

“The NSPME is fortunate to have the decadeslong support of tens of thousands of volunteers who are devoted, as we are, to ‘passing the torch’ of democracy,” says Gloria Kirshner, co-founder of the NSPME. “We need even more of these civic-minded volunteers to help us preserve and expand this great tradition of the world’s largest national mock election.”

Every two years, 59 educational, civic, business and religious organizations join with the NSPME to support the mock election. Participation is free to students and teachers from kindergarten through college and technical schools, all of whom can enroll through the NSPME website, www. nationalmockelection. org.

All participating classes receive free downloadable teachers’ guides, sample student materials, and a mechanism to record votes, either online or by other

means.

Teachers decide how to lead their classes in the national mock election beyond voting. Projects have historically included art displays, debates, contests, plays, songs, essay writing, visits from public officials, candidate forums, pep rallies and other forms of school-wide celebrations.

Participants vote on governors, senators, congressional representatives and current issues. After the mock election, five national professional organizations join to provide awards for outstanding projects by state, school, district and more.

Results of the mock election are posted online no more than 24 hours after ballots are tallied. Sample ballots are available for practice several weeks before the mock election.

Experts have recognized the NSPME and other voter education projects as essential to young people’s healthy development. The University of Colorado, for example, found in its research that the NSPME provided five broad benefits to students: www.nationalmockelection.org “Preserving Democracy for Generations to Come” nspme@aol.com • Increased political decision-making ability.

• The belief that voting is important.

• Informed involvement on current issues.

• The belief that social studies classes are rel-

evant.

• The discussion of political and election topics with parents.

• A reduction in an overall sense of powerlessness.

The National Association of Secondary School Principals has also noted a possible connection between participation in the NSPME and increased civic engagement among young voters.

Pew Charitable Trust raises the possibility that voter education projects like the NSPME may be one reason why the Millennial Generation is more politically active than the previous Generation X. And CIRCLE, a nonprofit group that researches information on civic education, proclaims mock election projects like the NSPME to be “habit-forming.”

“When young people learn the voting process and vote, they are more likely to do so when they are older,” CIRCLE says on its website. “So getting young people to vote early could be key in raising a new generation of voters.”

Schools that have lost social studies or civics classes because of budget or curriculum cuts may find the NSPME a promising means to help fill the remaining void of civics education, Kirshner points out.

NSPME’s outreach to national and state education organizations comes just as the group embarks on

several improvements intended to modernize and expand its ability to inspire young voters.

New plans include a modernized balloting system, a physical presence in Washington, D.C., a new website, increased social media outreach, and greater numbers participating than ever before.

Also in the works is a collaboration with VoterBuzz LLC, a start-up social network and voter education website that aims to help the nonprofit become self-funded in time for the 2016 election season.

Donations to the NSPME of any level or amount, from individuals or corporations and including inkind, are welcome.

The NSPME also offers an attractive sponsor package to those who share the group’s mission of promoting voting as the strongest means to “government of the people, by the people, and for the people.”

For more information on becoming a coordinator, send an email to the National Student/Parent Mock Election at nspme@aol. com.

To enroll your class or school, go to www.nationalmockelection.org.

To inquire about partnerships or sponsorships, contact Christine Hawes at 941-780-3046 or chris@voterbuzz.com.

Illinois Leadership Council for Ag Education presents ‘Jim Guilinger’ award to Mautino SPRINGFIELD – State Rep. Frank Mautino received the Illinois Leadership Council for Agriculture Education “Jim Guilinger” Legislative Award at the Illinois State Fair Agriculture Day for his continued support of agriculture education in the state.

“Agriculture is integral to the welfare and economic stability of the state, and requires a continued source of trained and qualified individuals

for employment in agriculture,” said Mautino, who is serving his third year as deputy majority leader in the Illinois House of Representatives. “The fact is, agriculture education works.

It serves more and more student high school graduation needs in math, science, language arts, social studies and consumer education.”

According to the council, since 1987, ILCAE has annually presented the

“Jim Guilinger” Legislative Award to state senators and representatives who have supported agricultural education.

“With agriculture education playing such a key role in preparing students for college and career success, it’s important that we have allies in the Legislature who will stand up and express how important this program really is,” the Council’s Chair Vern McGinnis said. “Repre-

Meeting minutes Illinois Valley Community College OGLESBY — The Illinois Valley Community College Board gave final approval to its fiscal 2015 budget following a public hearing on Aug. 14.

The budget projects operating revenue of $21.5 million, down $187,404 from the previous year including a 1.2 percent drop in EAV. It will be balanced by not filling 11 full- and part-time positions and a nearly 12 percent decrease in utility expenses due to low rates, among other factors.

In other business, 52 of IVCC’s 82 faculty union Local 1810 members attended to demonstrate support for a new contract agreement prior to classes beginning Aug. 18.

In a prepared statement, union President Mike Phillips said, “We are here because we are concerned that we may begin the semester without an agreement on our contract. Our relationship with the administration and board has been and remains both positive and productive, and we are looking forward to returning to the classroom and our students on Monday.

“It is our hope the board will grant its team the authority necessary to bring negotiations to a prompt and successful conclusion, perhaps as soon as tomorrow. My team and I will remain available during the closed session in the event you have any questions for us,” said Phillips.

In other action, the board approved: • Insurance coverage renewals for property, liability, commercial auto, workers’ compensation and more for a total of $317,172. All lines will be rebid next year for coverage beginning Sept. 1, 2015.

• Billboard advertising contracts for Fiscal 2015 with Key Outdoor of LaSalle for $29,250.

• The hiring of Emily

• Accepted the resignation of Amy Smith, institutional research director, effective Aug. 7.

• Change of status from full-time to parttime for Chris Warren, adult education literacy specialist, due to a reduction in funding for Adult Education.

• The $26,800 bid of Shearer Tree Service of Ottawa for removal of 45 dead ash trees across campus • The hiring of an additional security officer through G4S to staff the information desk at an hourly rate of $18.46 for 20 hours per week.

In other business, the board learned: • Ian Reddy, collection development and access librarian, will resign effective Aug. 22 and financial aid administrative assistant Melissa McBride resigned effective July 31. Reddy will be replaced by Rebekah Dean.

• Custodian Nick Lower resigned effective July 23 and lead academic support technologist Angie Hartman resigned effective Aug. 7.

• The Business Office has again earned the Government Finance Officers Association Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Annual Financial Reporting for Fiscal 2013.

• In his report, IVCC President Jerry Corcoran said bid documents for the ADA parking lot near the front of the Peter Miller Community Technology Center and resurfacing of Lot 1 are being finalized by engineers at Chamlin and Associates.

• The Continuing Education Center recently completed another successful summer offering for children age 5 to 14, primarily in fine arts and STEM-related courses.

He explained the library has offered some technology courses throughout the past year, which were really well received. However, with limited funding he could only provide a few courses.

The grant will help bring back the popular technology courses and will offer various instructional classes on technology and computer programs, including resume writing, Windows 7 & 8 basic, Internet safety and browsing, Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, tablets, job searched and basic computer operations.

Sprung hopes to target at least 100 individuals with the program.

Ohio Public Library has seen an increase in patrons using computers for various uses — whether it be for applying for jobs or for homework uses. Just in the last month, the library recorded 93 computer sign ins, which Sprung said is a higher number than usual.

Meeting Minutes Ladd Village Board LADD — The Ladd Village Board conducted the following business at its July 22 meeting: • Heard that the village’s insurer has determined the damage to the standby generator at the wastewater treatment plant was due to a lightning strike and will proceed with repairing it. Also, the failure of a motor at the wastewater treatment plant was not due to a lightning strike. • Accepted a proposal of $6,500 from Koener Electric to supply and install a new flow meter with two sensors and an 8-inch chart recorder at the wastewater treatment plant. • Heard an evaluation report on the 7500KVA transformer that was recently removed from service. It was determined that the high voltage windings of the transformer had failed. The damage done to the coil was very typical when there has been a lightning strike to the equipment itself or to the system it is connected to. Based upon analysis reports, it is believed the event happened in 2008 between the March and April samples. The board accepted a quote of $85,000 from T & R Electric for the rewinding of the transformer with copper. • Heard the results of the water tower inspections completed by Central Tank Coatings. • Heard Ladd Police Chief Gaefcke announce he would be leaving for 8-10 weeks. The board approved the appointment of Randy Dean as acting police chief in his absence. • Heard that Ladd Grade School is the first school in Bureau County to have a bullet/tornado proof material installed on its windows. • Discussed a franchise and pole rental agreement with Comcast.

She enjoyed her yard and was reported to have a “green thumb� when it came to Amy gardening. Amy was a homemaker and Porter foster parent for many years, opening her heart and home to numerous children in need, permanently adopting two of them. Children in crisis were often brought to her by the authorities in the middle of the night when their parents were unable to care for them.

She is survived by two sons, Samuel Porter of Tiskilwa and Blake Herrick on tour in Kuwait; a daughter, Amber Porter of Charleston, S.C.; a goddaughter, Brianna Olsen of Walnut; two brothers, Andrew (Susan) Armstead of Dallas, Texas, and Mike (Deborah) Armstead of College Station, Texas; one brother-in-law, Leif (Dawn) Porter of Sheffield; a sister-in-law, Krista Porter (Mary Ramos) of Springfield, Mo.; one granddaughter, Anya of Dunlap; and numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces and greatnephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; a stepson, Aaron Porter; and two brothers-in-law, Michael and Norman Porter.

Cremation will be accorded by the Norberg Memorial Home, Princeton, with a Celebration of Life to be announced at a later date.

Memorials may be directed to the Humane Society or animal rescue of the giver’s choice.

Facebook, not Factbook As a rule, the human race loves bad news. Yes, it’s really cute and lovely when a dog rescues a cat from drowning, but you will never see that lead the 5 p.m. news on CBS. Photos from the latest skirmish, details of the latest plane to crash or news of the latest corporate skulduggery are the news we really crave.

So, when some people see something in social media that is possibly dangerous to others, they go nuts and re-post it with “You have to see this! My word, this is so terrible!!!”

Somewhere in the past, I mentioned you can not believe everything you read on the Internet. Why? COMMENTARY Because anyone can make a website. There are no restrictions, no regulations and no litmus test for truth.

I typed the following into my Google search engine: Does dihydrogen monoxide cause cancer? In seconds, I had more than 27,600 responses, most of which warning the substance has been linked to everyone who has ever died of cancer. It also was linked to everyone who has suffered from Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, mental disorders and HIV/AIDS. With all of that evidence, dihydrogen oxide must be the most dangerous substance in the world.

It’s water, people. H2O. If the Internet is full of misinformation, you should realize Facebook is crammed to the gills with it.

I have a friend on the social media dynamo who believes every one of the posts she gets and instantly re-posts them. You name it, and she bought into.

“There’s wax on Ramen noodles that can cause cancer.” “The glue on manila envelopes contains roach eggs.” “Plastic water bottles break down and cause cancer.” Sorry, those are all fake.

She’s the kind of person for whom the National Enquirer is the most trusted news source.

So how can you tell when something is fake? It’s very easy.

Does the story use last names? How about the actual city where it happens? Is a source identified? If the answer to all of those questions is “no,” then you’ve got a prank.

If the article does name a source, put the name into a search engine and make sure it exists. That’s not always an indication that it’s real, but it’s a step.

Dig a little. Check reputable sources like Newsweek, the Smithsonian or ABC News. Do NOT bother with Cracked or The Onion; those are both humor websites. Snopes is one of the best sites to check because they constantly research urban legends and Internet hoaxes.

Most of all, think. If it sounds far-fetched, it’s probably false. If it claims someone is a radical extremist who is trying to bring about the fall of civilization, it’s probably false. If the website you use to confirm the story is one that would have a definite stake in the story being true, it’s fake.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, there’s a Nigerian princess with $8 Billion U.S. dollars and some pills to improve my performance that wants to marry me but needs $3,000 in plane fare to get to Chicago before I can collect anything.

Richard Widmark: A Princeton legacy Classmates — Becoming Richard Widmark Column and artwork by Bartlett Lee Kassabaum Special to the BCR

It was during his senior high school year that Richard Widmark purchased his first automobile. Leslie Monroe had his Chevrolet dealership on the corner of Main and Peru streets, across from the post office.

There was actually a gas station on the corner, and the dealership was just to the east of it, but it did run right over the roof of the station, as the land had a definite drop in elevation on that corner.

The gas station was the first story, and the west end of the dealership was the second story on the corner.

Leslie Monroe was also a notary republic, and so you could buy a car and get a stamped certificate to drive a car all in the same place, as long as you could show him you knew how. It’s not that simple today. It is just another lost convenience, maybe for the better, to more and bigger government.

When May Win was in the early part of her teaching career, this same kind of common sense convenience was at work and would certainly cause an uproar today.

The paths that Richard Widmark and Mary Win Skinner followed in their careers were somewhat similar.

Their personal lives had similarities also. Richard Widmark was studying acting at Lake Forest College, after graduating high school, while Mary Win Skinner studied art at the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois. Widmark headed east after college (following his future wife to New York City) and two years of teaching at his alma mater. He watched every silent movie at the New York City Museum of Modern Art to hone his acting skills while doing radio and Broadway, and then he was on theater tour in Chicago.

Richard Widmark married Ora Jean Hazelwood, April 5, 1942, in Evanston, Ill. Mary Win also went east and then back to Chicago, furthering her skills with the Art Students League in New York City and the Academy of Fine Art in Chicago.

She earned her master’s degree from Northern Illinois University at DeKalb. She first taught art in Arthur, Ill., and then at Logan Junior High School in Princeton. Mary Winifred Skinner married Eugene Walter in 1943, at the Church on The Hill, east of Princeton. Eugene’s grandfather performed the ceremony.

They lived in Florida for two years, while Eugene was in the U.S. Army, and after the war, she started teaching at Princeton Township High School in 1947, the same year Richard started his career in the movies in “Kiss of Death.” Eugene was working at Anderson Mosshart, while Mary Win was teaching. Mary Win and Eugene adopted a baby girl, Sara, born Jan. 19, 1949. She would have to give up her teaching to take care of her new daughter unless something could be worked out. O.V. Shaffer was the principal, and something was worked out. It was a convenience for all involved; the school, the students, baby Sara and Mary Win Walter. Mary Win and husband, Eugene, lived on the family land, at Greenwood Cottage, that she inherited from her great aunt, Lottie Taylor, and where she would basically spend the rest of her life. As it was then larger and just a

stone’s throw from the high school property, O.V. had it set up for the students to walk to Mary Win’s home, in the kitchen, where desks were set up to get their art lessons. It was a win-win situation for all that just wouldn’t fly today; there would be an uproar.

Mary Win and Eugene Walter would have just the one daughter, Sara. Richard and Jean Widmark would have just the one daughter, Anne, July 25, 1945. Mary Win remarried a close friend of the family, Don Norris, in 1982, after the death of her first husband, Eugene, in 1972. Richard remarried a close friend of the family, Susan Blanchard, in 1999, after the death of Jean in 1997.

Richard Widmark was an avid and lifelong reader, as was Mary Win. Richard Widmark loved to travel, many times for different roles in his movies: Austria, England, Germany, Mexico, Scotland and Switzerland are just a few of the countries. Mary Win traveled extensively after she retired: To Russia with her stepsister Kate (Skinner) Graham, Ireland, a white water rafting trip with Bindy Walter, out west, and a climb to the top of Machu Picchu, the Inca site in the Cusco Region of Peru, South America.

Richard Widmark took up painting as a way to relax and usually had something on his easel. He dabbled at it. He said, “... we have a little guest house in our garden. I enjoy going out there to read and study, away from the interruptions in the house. That’s where I do my painting. I’m so terrible at it; I don’t want anyone peeking over my shoulder.”

Widmark was very modest about the definite flair for painting he developed. It relaxed him, and some of his canvases, in fact, were exhibited. Mary Win never took up acting, but as I know, as an artist, you are always on stage when pro-

moting your work, or just having it hang for the public to see. Richard Widmark entertained the world in his movies, and Mary Win taught her students to entertain themselves and friends with art.

We’ll never know if Mary Win Skinner had anything to do with the detailing of Richard Widmark.

Maybe it worked both ways. I think they each picked up a little from each other. Richard Widmark passed away March 24, 2008, and his daughter, Anne, lives in the Santa Fe, N.M. area. Mary Win (Skinner) Walter Norris passed away June 27, 2014. Her first cousin, Clay H. Skinner, lives on South Euclid Avenue in a Skinner family home, where Richard Widmark and family lived in 1926. Her daughter, Sara (Walter) Madl, passed away Feb. 28, 2012.

Mary Win has a great-granddaughter, Nicole (Niki) Zahn, in Milwaukee, Wis., who is also going to be a teacher. Richard Widmark and Mary Win Skinner, two of the classics from the Class of 1932. Thanks for a little assist from Bonnie (Monroe) Schutt.

John Gorka to open Princeton Coffeehouse season PRINCETON — Singersongwriter John Gorka, famed for his albums and his live performances, will appear at the Princeton Coffeehouse at 7:30 p.m.

Aug. 23. The Coffeehouse is located at Open Prairie, United Church of Christ, 25 E. Marion St., Princeton. Doors open at 7 p.m.

Originally from New Jersey, Gorka got his start at a coffeehouse in eastern Pennsylvania. In 1987, Red House Records released his first album, “I Know,” which put him on the musical map. He signed with Windham Hill/High Street Records in 1989 and recorded five albums with them over the next seven years.

In 1998, Gorka decided to return to his musical roots at Red House Records. The choice was driven, in part, by the artistic integrity he believes the label represents in an industry where the business of music too often takes precedence.

Having released 11 critically acclaimed albums, Gorka also embraces the

John Gorka experience of performing in small clubs, theatres and coffeehouses. “I’ve discovered some great places where people really listen to the music,” Gorka said in an interview with the Huffington Post. “Most of the places aren’t large or fancy ... they are smaller places where amazing things happen with the basic, primal sound of one’s voice, the rhythm of the lyrics, basic lighting and an audience.”

Many well known artists

have recorded and/or performed John Gorka songs, including Mary Chapin Carpenter, Nanci Griffith, Mary Black and Maura O’Connell. In 2010, Gorka released an album with his friends and Red House label-mates Lucy Kaplansky and Eliza Gilkyson under the name Red Horse. It landed on the Billboard Folk Charts and was one of the most played albums on folk radio.

John Gorka lives in Minnesota with his wife and

two children. He continues to tour, playing festivals, theaters and clubs all over North America and Europe.

The John Gorka concert at the Coffeehouse is sponsored by the law firm of Russell, English, Scoma and Beneke.

The Princeton Coffeehouse offers traditional and modern folk, blues and bluegrass music on a monthly basis from August through May, with the exception of December. This season, general admission to a Coffeehouse concert is $15. Season tickets, $120 for nine shows, may also be purchased at the first show.

Fair trade coffee, tea and homemade desserts are available at every performance.

Open Prairie, the performance venue for the Coffeehouse, is completely accessible and there is ample free parking nearby.

For more information, visit www.theprincetoncoffeehouse.com or call 815-8726501.

Those Lion eyes Logan/Malden’s Sophie Rutledge makes connections with a pitch in Thursday’s action in Malden against Ottawa Shepherd. The Lions dropped both games heading into Friday’s doubleheader at Putnam County.

PERU — Now in its fourth year, the annual Illinois Valley Community Hospital Healthy Choices, Healthy You Fall Fitness 5K has been added to the list of official Starved Rock Runner Ltd. circuit races.

Sponsored by the hospital’s Center for Physical Rehabilitation and Aquatics, the race will get underway at 9 a.m. Sept. 6 at Washington Park in Peru.

The IVCH 5K, which is listed as SRRL Circuit Race #15, also features computerized chip timing meaning runners can get their times as soon as they finish, technical T-shirts for all entrants who pre-register by Sept. 3, cash prizes for setting a new course or age group record and a pie feast immediately after the race.

Non-competitive walkers are also invited to enter and there will be a free kids’ challenge run follow-

ing the race.

Awards will be presented to the overall male and female winners and to the top three finishers in each male and female age group. The age groups start at 9 years old and under and continue through age 80 and older.

The entry fee is $18 if received before Sept. 1 and $22 after, including on race day, when registration will start at 7 a.m.

Runners and walkers can register online at www. runrace.net or download an application form at www.starvedrockrunners.org.

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Ross Baker and Kelsey Grosenbach were the Junior champions.

Joshua Scheri won the 6-8 age division with a five-hole score of 25.

Logan Potthoff (48) and Payge Pyszka (57) were the 9-11 champions.

Nathan Potthoff (49) won the 12-13 division.

Matt Hoscheid (90) and Tess Mon-

tez (119) won the 14-15 division.

Baker was the 16-18 champion and John Potthoff was runner-up.

• New champ: Tammy Howlett became the third new champion of the Illinois Valley Women’s Golf Invitational in the past five years of the event. Cheri Russell of Morris won in 2010 for the first time as did past runner-up Katie Farrell of the former Hunter’s Ridger in 2012.

Summer has been a pleasant one Summer is almost over; school will soon be starting; and hunting seasons are almost upon us. This summer has been pleasant. We did not experience a scorcher like we have in seasons past.

In Bureau County, fishermen have had some rewarding days in areas that did not suffer winter kill. The usual species around here have been caught with decent regularity, and the stringers of catfish have

Lee Wahlgren OUTDOOR COLUMNIST

been above average.

Hunting season is just around the corner also, and I hope your kids attended a Hunters’ Safety Course and are eligible

to hunt with you. If they missed the course, two more will be offered in September. Chillicothe Sportsman’s Club will have the course on Sept. 11-13.

Princeton will have one on Sept.

27-28. For info or to register, call Lowell Bennett at 309-274-5586 for Chillicothe or Bob Stevens in Princeton at 815-866-7835 or the Met at 815-872-0840.

One popular shooting event in Bureau County is dove hunting.

Many hunters have their own areas to hunt, but if you don’t,

you can hunt Mautino State Fish and Wildlife Area or Hennepin Canal Parkway.

The season starts on Sept. 1, and you can hunt these areas by arriving at the site (either Mautino’s or the Canal Parkway) before 11 a.m. It takes a few minutes to register at the site, and then at 11 a.m., there will be a drawing to see which stake the group gets to hunt. Actual shooting hours are from noon to 5 p.m.. From Sept. 6-30, there will be no a.m. registration. Hours

and bag limit will be the regular statewide rules.

Hunters are to use non-toxic shot, No. 6 steel shot or smaller, or No. 7-1/2 bismuth, tungsten, Hevishot or smaller. Good luck on your accuracy.

Waterfowl hunters have a chance at early seasons too.

Early goose season will be from Sept. 1-15. Early teal season will be from Sept. 6-21. Illinois and federal waterfowl stamps are

Homestead weekend is a great weekend. This year, amongst all the others, the Class of ‘94 has its 20th reunion. I remember this class because they were very active in the Sportsman’s Club.

I remember Scott Reed

catching a lot of walleyes when he went on our Canada trip. This year, Justin Harris took his son to Black Bear Lodge also.

Others tried duck hunting, deer hunting and were good fishermen also. So, Class of ‘94, I want to see many in attendance.

Ferris wheel, fair food, free shows and fun at the fair!

The 159th annual Bureau County Fair begins in just five days.

There are so many new and exciting things happening this year, that my story doesn’t have room for them all, so I am just going to highlight a few of the more unique ones.

If you love big and fast carnival rides, be sure to stop out and see the N.A.M.E. Carnival which comes to the Bureau County Fair straight from the Illinois State Fair. We have the huge Century Ferris Wheel making a return to the fair this year, along with the Tornado, Himalaya and Orbiter rides for the not-so-faint of heart.

There will still be plenty of rides for the little kids too, so check out the daily wrist band ride specials.

It’s only $20 for unlimited rides each day.

Here’s a quick recap of the daily events at the fair.

The fair opens at noon on Wednesday, and there is an antique tractor pull in the grandstand at 6 p.m. Please stop in the fine arts building and see who took home the blue ribbons on their photography, canning, collections and more. The textile department is located in the fair museum building.

Bureau County Fair has always been known for their awesome free entertainment, and we have a great new act this year. The Galaxy Girl Thrill Show is going to amaze fair-goers. Watch for her 127-foot-high platform where she will do death-defying gymnastic routines as the pole bends and sways. She will perform Wednesday though Friday at 5 and 7 p.m. and three times on Saturday and Sunday. The Magic Matt Fun Show will entertain the family daily with magic show and balloon art. Everyone enjoys sitting in the hospitality tent, eating their great fair food and listening to the many free musical artists perform.

The Bureau County Farm Bureau will have a special 100th anniversary exhibit, plus the Farmer for a Day activity for the kids. Be sure to stop in the fair museum and see the historic displays from around Bureau County as well as the history of the fair.

You get all of this (plus more that I didn’t have room to mention) for a low admission charge of $5 for adults, 7-12 years are $2 and kids 6 and under are free.

The Bureau County Fair is already looking forward to our 160th annual fair on Aug. 26-30 of next year, and we hope to see you there!
