It’s fair time!

The 158th Bureau County Fair kicks off Wednesday

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON– It’s fair week in Bureau County! Families from all over will come together to make everlasting memories at the 158th annual Bureau County Fair.

Whether it’s to taste summer’s first corn dog, see a favorite country star, ride the merry-go-round or visit the animals – the fair has an attraction for everyone.

Here is a little reminder of what’s to come this week, how much it’s going to cost and information on parking.

Prices Daily entry prices for children ages 6 and under are free. Children ages 7 to 12 get in for $2; teenagers and adults get in for $5. Senior citizens (ages 62 and older) will have a special-priced day to visit the fair for only $2 on Thursday.

Anyone is welcome to purchase a season pass for $10, which allows people to pass through the gate as many times as possible throughout the week.

The fair’s special events begin on Wednesday with the garden tractor pull, which is free to the public. Also free, is the bags tournament and Bureau County Talent Show, which will take place on Thursday.

On Friday, country star Justin Moore will kick-off his performance. Tickets are $37 for gold circle seating, $32 for track and box seating and $27 for grandstand seating.

On Saturday, the truck/ tractor pull will take place.

Tickets are free for children ages 6 and under; $5 for children ages 7 to 12; $10 for teenagers and adults and $20 for pit passes.

Gun safety law signed

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Gov. Pat Quinn has signed a new gun safety law requiring background checks for all gun purchases statewide, as well as the reporting of all lost and stolen guns.

Quinn signed the new law on Sunday, saying House Bill 1189 closes the background check loophole for the sale or transfer of a firearm from a private party.

Prior to this new legislation, private sellers

were not required to check whether or not the purchaser had a valid Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) Card.

Quinn said the new law also requires all eligible firearm owners whose firearms are lost, misplaced or stolen to report the loss or theft to the local law enforcement agency within 72 hours after obtaining knowledge of the loss or theft.

“Guns are a plague on too many of our communities,” Quinn said. “As I said in my State of the State Address earlier this year, making sure guns do not fall into the wrong

hands is critical to keeping the people of Illinois safe. This common-sense law will help our law enforcement crack down on crime and make our streets safe.”

Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson said this new law appears to be a good law, assuming the information is able to be channeled into the correct access points. He hopes the background information, including mental health information, is available to those involved in private gun sales.

LADD – Congressman Adam Kinzinger made a quick stop in Ladd Friday afternoon to present veteran LeRoy C. Padgett with four medals he earned but never received.

The presentation took place at the American Legion in Ladd, surrounded

by Padgett’s family members, Ladd village officials and legion officers, including the 16th District American Legion commander.

Kinzinger read a brief background on Padgett, who entered the Armed Forces in

1951. Padgett completed his basic training in Kentucky and then his advanced training. After training, he was deployed to Japan and served on an anti-aircraft artillery battalion.

Padgett’s unit was responsible for defending an air strip in Japan during an intense time. Padgett served in the U.S. Army from

PRINCETON — When it comes to attending the Bureau County Fair, Coyla Harris of Princeton is no doubt the recordholder — having attended every county fair for the last 95 years.

Harris, who will be 96 years young in November, plans on being at the Bureau County Fair on Thursday for Senior Citizens Day. She’ll come early and leave late.

Looking back on the last 95 years, Harris said the only time she came close to missing the county fair was the year her daughter Margaret was born on Aug. 17. Back in those days,

women stayed in the hospital about 10 days after having a baby, but Harris told her doctor she had a record to keep and she needed out of the hospital in time to get to the fair. And that’s just what happened.

Harris said she and her baby got out of the hospital on the morning of the last day of the fair.

She wrapped up her baby and headed straight to the fair. Harris walked around the fair twice, had a hot dog, and decided she should probably head for home ... with her perfect attendance record in tact.

Harris said she got her early start at the county fair because her mother worked every year at the Congregational Hall at the fair. It was her mother who came up with the idea that Harris should make it a goal to go every

year to the fair and set a record. While her mother worked, Harris and other children were cared for by helpers at the Red Cross building on the fairgrounds. When Harris got older, she helped watch the younger children at the Red Cross building In time, Harris also helped at her aunt’s food tent where people could buy regular meals, like roast chicken and mashed potatoes and homemade pies. Breakfast was also served.

There were a lot of dishes to wash, since there were no paper plates or cups like there is now, and the dishes had to be washed twice and dried twice. She also was on potato-peeling duty.

When she wasn’t working the fair, Harris would go for rides on the merrygo-round and the Ferris

wheel. The rides weren’t extravagant like they are nowadays, she said.

In addition to the rides, Harris said there’s been lot of other changes at the fair in the last 95 years. In those early years, people came to the fair on foot, or by horse and buggy, or by old cars that barely ran. She and her family walked a couple miles to the fair, leaving their home at 4:30 a.m. each day. There was a special area set up where people could leave their horses and buggies for the day.

The food is different, not as much homecooked meals as she remembers. In those early years, her mother would pack a food basket of fried chicken and all the goodies that go with it. The watermelon was kept cold in a tank of water. Everyone put

their watermelon in the same tank and nobody knew whose watermelon was whose and nobody cared, she said.

Attending the Bureau County Fair has been something she’s looked forward to each year — when she was younger and now that she’s older. When she was 8 years old, she won her first prize on a cake she made. Through the years, she’s won prizes on her baked goods and canned items. In time, she became a judge at the fair in the canning and baking departments.

One of her favorite parts of the fair has been seeing the horses and the cows, Harris said.

She loved the horse racing and playing bingo when they were part of the fair.

For years, she was a member of the Sharps and Flats kitchen band, which played every year at the fair. Her main instrument was a grill, but she would also play the bells, just about anything someone would give her. The band is no longer active, since there’s only three of them left, Harris said.

“Oh, yes, I can go on and on about the fair,” Harris said. “It’s fun, and I look forward to it every year.”

At 95, Harris said she doesn’t walk around at the fair like she did in the past. Instead, she will spend most of the day in the hospitality tent visiting with folks, many of whom she sees once a week at the fair.

Harris said she’s appreciative of all the years she’s had at the Bureau County Fair.

“I would like to thank the fair board for all these years I have been able to enjoy the fair,” Harris said. “Keep up the good work and may it go on another 100 years and more. See you next year.”

Parking lot repairs Metro Center to close during repair period

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Metro Center in Princeton will be closed three days next week for parking lot repair.

Princeton Park District Executive Director Elaine Russell has announced the Metro Center will be closed Aug. 26, 27 and 28 for the repair project.

The entire facility will be closed.

“We have been told that once the project is started it should only take two to three days, of course depending on the weather,” Russell said. “Again, we will use all means of communication including Facebook and our website www.princetonparkdistrict.org to communicate the re-opening.”

The outdoor Alexander Swimming Pool will be open during the regular Metro Center pool hours, weather permitting, Russell said. The Metro Center pool schedule can be found on the park district’s website or a copy of the sched-

ule is available at the front desk of the Metro Center.

“The board and staff of the Bureau County Metro Center do not want to inconvenience anyone by closing, however, this is a much needed project,” Russell said. “Please mark your calendars to check regularly with us for updated information.”

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, Superintendent of Parks Keith Scherer said the parking lot project at the Metro Center will include the removal and paving of the center island that currently des-

ignates parking spaces for patrons. The project will also include the resurfacing of a dumpster collection site on the east side of the building.

At its July 15 meeting, the park board awarded the Phase 1 parking lot project to Advanced Asphalt with a low bid of $43,602.

Phase 2 of the project will include the resurfacing of the remainder of the Metro Center parking lot and will come from the 2014-15 fiscal year budget, with bids for Phase 2 expected to go out next year.

gun’s model and serial number.

Gun-owners should make sure they keep written information on every gun they own, including any specific characteristics of that gun, which is what he has done for every gun he owns.

Concerning gun safety issues, the problem is not with the law-abiding people and their guns,

Thompson said. The problem is with the people who steal guns, and then those guns end up on the streets and in the hands of people who shouldn’t have them, the sheriff said.

On Monday, Bureau County State’s Attorney Patrick Herrmann said it’s a good idea to have background checks on all gun transfers, which is something people

may have thought was already required. The new law should work just fine for law-abiding citizens, he said.

Though the new law closes one loophole, requiring background checks on all gun sales or transfers, it doesn’t remedy the problem of illegal firearms and sales, Herrmann said.

Riders can purchase armbands for $20, which will allow unlimited rides for the day. On Wednesday, the rides will be open from 5 to 10 p.m., Thursday from 5 to 10 p.m., Friday from 5 to 11 p.m., Saturday from 1 to 11 p.m., and Sunday from 1 to 8 p.m.

the corner of South Fairgrounds Avenue and West Peru Street. The West gate parking may be most appropriate for attendees wishing to attend the special event shows near the grandstand area.

Free shows The fair will also be offering fun, free entertainment for all ages throughout the week. All shows will take place at various times throughout each day of the fair.

Free entertainment includes the Bear Mountain Wildlife Show, which offers an upbeat, educational show. Audiences will get to meet five different bears: Giza, Nanook, Tutter, Nemo and Zuzu.

Also, families can check out The Magic of Bob Bohm Show. For more

than 30 years, Bohm has performed thousands of tricks and illusions. Bohm will put on a “survivor” family game show, which will involved audience members and engage them in silly games of skill to hilarious results.

The Progressive Edges Chainsaw Artist will also dazzle visitors with unique wood carving skills. Attendees will be able to watch the special guest wood carver turn 6-foot logs into a wide variety of detailed figures.

The Farmer for a Day activity is also back this year by popular demand.

An IRA here, a former job’s 401(k) there— are your retirement assets scattered? If so, it could be costing you time, extra paperwork and fees. Take control of your retirement assets and keep your taxdeferred status by rolling them into a Thrivent Financial Rollover IRA. You may get more investment options and save some money, too.

On the street

What is your favorite part of the Bureau County Fair?

“I like to go on rides with my friends. The tilt-awhirl is awesome.”

Kaia Robbins, Princeton

“I enjoy watching the draft horse show and eating fair food.”

Joanne Wright, Bradford

“I love to go on the rides.

I like the Starship.”

Neissa Whitford, Princeton

“I look forward to all the food. I love elephant ears.

The rides are fun, too.”

Kylie Ebner, Princeton

From the editor’s desk It’s fair week! Even though I’m considerably older than I was when the fair meant riding the tilta-whirl until my entire world was spinning and eating enough cotton candy to send me into oblivion, the thought of fair week still gets me excited. OK, I don’t eat cotton candy anymore, and the idea of rides that spin in two different directions kind of makes me sick just thinking about it ... yet there’s something intrinsically special about the Bureau County Fair that makes my heart smile and my memories run rampant.

The 158th Bureau County Fair runs from Aug. 21 through Aug. 25, and like Terri every year, there will be something there Simon for everyone — from the very youngest child to the very oldest child at heart. Check out the schedule of events on the back of today’s newspaper. It’s exciting, and a lot of people spend a lot of time, energy and money to make sure you and your family have a great time at the second longest running county fair in the state.

I hope you’re planning on visiting your local county fair, which ultimately needs your support.

And if you will, make sure you take the youngsters in your life, who will, no doubt, develop many memories — just like we have done. Anybody who grew up around here has a pocketful of Bureau County Fair memories. Help the young people in your life create their own recollections of this timetested tradition. See you at the fair!

••• School is back in session in most schools in and around Bureau County. Please take a few extra minutes in your travels to watch for excited children as they make their way back and forth to the bus/school/home. Also, I hope parents have chatted with their children about school bus behavior, as well as behavior in the classrooms. While monitoring behavior is part of a teacher’s day, it shouldn’t be a dominant factor. Teachers are there to teach, and if they are consumed with behavioral issues, teaching has to take a backseat.

Education is important to the Bureau County Republican, so I encourage teachers/principals/ secretaries ... to let us know when something special is happening at their building. While we might not be able to attend every event, we will do our best. Email us at news@bcrnews.com. Have a great school year everyone!

••• With the start of school, you can expect area sports coverage to increase with the fall sports schedules.

Watch BCR Sports Editor Kevin Hieronymus’ sports pages for coverage of football, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls golf, boys soccer, volleyball and more.

Kevin said the Princeton Tigers are having a Meet the Tigers night on Friday, and the Bureau Valley Storm is having a Meet the Storm night on Friday too. Hall is also having a Red and White scrimmage on Friday.

Speaking of sports, Kevin is looking for a few good photographers/writers to help him cover fall sports. If you have writing/sports photography experience, give him a call at 815-875-4461, ext. 231, or email him at khieronymus@bcrnews.com.

••• What’s in Grandma’s Cookie Jar? I hope you’re going to like what you find inside. I’ll be revealing the contents soon! I’ve had a lot of guesses — want to venture a guess too? Send me an email at tsimon@bcrnews. com.

••• Thought for this week: “If I ran a school, I’d give the average grade to the ones who gave me all the right answers, for being good parrots. I’d give the top grades to those who made a lot of mistakes and told me about them, and then told me what they learned from them.”

R. Buckminster Fuller.

••• The heat returns this week. Cool off by taking a few minutes to sit under a shade tree with those you love.

Talk. Reminisce. Laugh. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

“The demolition derby is always a good time, but what I really enjoy the most is when the fair is over.”

Rodney Spencer, Princeton

Fixed on the elixir May the water take us, and make us, much like the liquid flows, into and of and one with the others, the currents the collective bestows.

I’d heard of the infamy, the prestige of canoe trips of the past.

Stories of laughter and animated exchange between great brethren have filled my ear on a regular basis, and so when I received the invite on Facebook to skim the Wisconsin River on a late summer weekend with a clutch of old comrades, I felt like a fish having finally found the pond. The process was to include uproarious shenanigans, humble anecdotes of soulful inquisition and the unquestionable tomfoolery relegated to a handful of cunning creatures crashing nature’s available bachelor pad.

Inclusion is a word that hardly offers proper justice to the aforementioned aspects of the most recent weekend. From the moment we packed our tents, duffels and canoes into the back of the trucks and began our climb across the countryside, our abs enlisted within the weekend warrior program. The sound of laughter might as well have been the air itself because it erupted from our lungs like concert notes from a stack of speakers, and each area on the side of the road that was deemed suitable for rest included exclamation for and admiration of each other.

And then, without warning, our paddles hit the water, our eyes the view outside. The day had been designed for our presence within it, and we weren’t to be mistaken for chaps unwilling to recognize.

The river was housed by a founda-

Eric Engel COMMENTARY tion of soft sand, perfect stomping grounds for bare feet that don’t believe in any toe at times theory, and although we had to battle the wind during portions of the trip, the desire to be anywhere but that particular location was an opponent that fell like a flock of birds searching for lunch right below the surface of the water.

The weekend festivities was an opportunity to celebrate one of our warriors, as he had recently decided to suck in that big breath and take the jump into the rewards and responsibilities of wedlock. Our salutations filled his ear and assuredly brought the reassurance to his perspective that is needed from loved ones during the decision-making process of life-altering resolutions. He is a great virtuous man, and I am as proud to have him as a friend as I am to know that he will move forth with humility and resolve in fulfilling the dreams of the woman that is constant in his.

What I received most joy from throughout the weekend, though, was not just the celebration of one man, but my personal celebration of every man surrounding. Friendships I had made in my youth were rejuvenated in a matter of moments, and I spent the entirety of a stellar slide down the liquid miles asking of the intricacies of their current desires and independent ideas. I saw many fine lads whom I had not witnessed

for years. We lamented over some who couldn’t make the trip, and others who never will again. In a matter of a mere 48 hours, we conquered wet tents and cracked smiles at dry perspectives, all the while asking for no more or no less, but precisely what we had in our midst.

I have lived in a number of different places in my life now, and in each of those settings I have met individuals who I will invite to my own wedding someday, but there is a certain unquestionable bond that exists between me and the originals that helped build the one place truly known as home. I realized this weekend the maturation that has been setting up camp within my character this last decade does not reside in a onehorse town, as the tents of each man there was in close proximity to my own.

The blessings of brotherhood present themselves with constancy, and my appreciation for those who build the bridges and provide shelter from the rain in my life are not of short supply, and yet of tall order to replicate. I thank the gentlemen who are jesters in my court and soldiers by my side. The river would not be as wide if you had not been my elixir this long.

And in recent I witnessed reminders aplenty, that our friends are just what they seem, the vessels that keep us afloat in the sun and the ripples that end us downstream.

My heartiest congratulations to Ryan and Lauren Widmer.

Travel tips for seniors (BPT) Extra socks?

Check.

Toothbrush?

Check. Photo ID? Check.

What else could you be forgetting?

All travel requires some level of planning, but for seniors taking to the road or sky a little extra planning can go a long way toward ensuring an enjoyable vacation. Before embarking on your next adventure, consider these tips to make certain you have all your bases covered, from health to happenstance.

1. Keep your health in check: Make sure your doctor checks pre-existing medical conditions before you take extended travels and carefully manage conditions throughout your vacation. Also, pack enough of your medications to last the entire trip and keep them in the original prescription bottles labeled with your name.

Keep in mind that sitting for extended periods of time, whether you are driving or flying, puts you at risk for developing blood clots in the veins of your legs. Be sure to stand up

and walk for a few minutes every hour to minimize your slight chance of getting a blood clot.

Make sure you stay wellhydrated throughout your trip by drinking at least two to three liters of water per day. Staying hydrated during long flights can also minimize chances of getting a blood clot.

2. Lighten your load: Pack light when possible to give your legs and back a break from hauling luggage around town or between flights. If you have to bring a second bag, make it a small one that can easily stack on top of your roller bag.

However, it’s wise to pack a backup for some of your most important items. If you’re traveling with a family member or friend, make sure you each have a cellphone. Pack a spare pair of glasses if you’ve been known to misplace them in the past.

Bring spare batteries for hearing aids if you think they may be running low.

3. Keep in touch: Whether used to confirm reservations or contact authorities

Tuesday, August 20, 2013 • 9

New technology provides discreet hearing aid options (BPT) If you suffer from hearing loss, you’re not alone. Nearly 20 percent of American adults suffer from hearing loss. And as you age, the possibility of hearing loss increases.

Thirty percent of Americans older than 65 suffer from hearing loss and that number reaches 50 percent for people older than 75.

Despite the fact that many people have hearing loss, they often wait years to get help. Only one in five people who would benefit from a hearing aid actually wear one. Many people still think of hearing aids as the big, bulky models of the past. That couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, many of today’s top hearing aids reside inside the ear and are invisible to the naked eye.

If you’re experienc-

ing symptoms of hearing loss and could benefit from wearing a hearing aid, here’s an overview of some of the latest discreet technology that can greatly improve the quality of your life.

• AMP. AMP from Starkey Hearing Technologies is designed specifically for first-time hearing aid users. About the size of a fingernail, AMP sits invisibly in a person’s ear canal and amplifies sound.

• Invisible-in-the-canal (IIC). The IIC is the most advanced invisible technology on the market today. These aids — similar in size to a jelly bean — are custom fit to your ear canal and hearing loss. An IIC is placed deep in your ear, usually making it completely invisible to anyone else.

The highest quality IICs are custom, digital and

fully programmable.

• Mini receiver-incanal (RIC). People who want the benefits of an invisible hearing aid but can’t wear an aid that fits in their ear canal can choose a mini RIC. This aid resembles the shape of a more traditional hearing aid but it is nearly half the size. The mini RIC hides behind a person’s ear, making it nearly invisible. Despite its size, this hearing aid

still offers the highest performance, power and features available.

The latest advancements in hearing aid technology mean you no longer have to be selfconscious about combating your hearing loss. To read more about each of these types of hearing aids and to learn how a hearing aid can improve your quality of life, visit www.invisiblehearingaid. com.

in case of an emergency, a cellphone can be the ultimate travel safety net.

Consumer Cellular (www. consumercellular.com), the exclusive wireless provider for AARP members, provides cost-effective nocontract wireless service and cellphones to meet subscribers’ unique needs.

Consumer Cellular’s senior-friendly Doro PhoneEasy 618 is an easyto-use phone with a one-

touch emergency button and a camera for documenting your trip. Or for those who prefer the comfort and familiarity of their landline phone, the carrier’s wireless home phone device allows for the use of your home phone in an RV, hotel room or anywhere with access to a cellular signal. Lastly, the carrier allows you to switch between plans without penalty at any

time, so scale your service up or down for that month’s bill to meet your travel needs, then resume your standard plan when you return.

4. Act your age: Seniors can often get discounts on attractions, events, meals and more by simply showing a photo ID or AARP membership card. Seek out discounts before you travel and make arrangements accordingly. Also,

continue to ask about discounts throughout your vacation — you may save a few bucks here and there.

5. Leave time for recovery: A vacation should be fun and relaxing, but intensive driving or time zone changes can leave a traveler feeling exhausted.

When outlining your trip itinerary, consider that you may need time initially to rest from your travels or recover from jet lag.

“The care at Liberty Village went way beyond my expectations” I recently had a hip replacement and I heard that Liberty Village had a wonderful Bounce Back physical rehabilitation department. I visited the facility and it felt more like a week-end retreat. I was a little anxious but after seeing the beautiful facilities and meeting with the administrator and department heads I became relaxed. The staff, nurses and CNA’s are all very conscientious of your needs and extremely willing to help you any way they can.

Their main objective is to work with you to get you back to your full potential and to be able to go home. The food is excellent and you get choices with plenty to eat. The over-all care was excellent. I would definitely return to Liberty Village if the need ever arose again. I thank them all from the bottom of my heart!

Methodist takes title in two

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — United Methodist didn’t get too down after losing big in the first game for the championship of the Princeton Fastpitch Church League Tournament Saturday at West Side Park. They still had their ace in the hole.

Methodist captain Rex Lasson, a 61-year-old grandfather of seven, took to the rubber to pitch the second game. He struck out two and held St. Matthew’s heavy hitting lineup to seven hits with an assortment of offspeed pitches sprinkled in with a few heaters after they belted out 15 in the first game’s 14-1 rout off Lasson’s son, Brett.

“How we were able to put game 1 in delete box was amazing. Typically game 2 is a blowout too by winner of game 1,” Lasson said. “We never got the big inning we thought was coming. I didn’t know I could still go that many innings against a top team.

I have surprised myself many times on that field over the years.

“But without our defense and sticks it would never have happened.”

The league championship is Methodist’s ninth since 1985, but first in 10 years.

The decisive game had a wild finish. St. Matthew’s scored one run in the top of the seventh to tie the game at 3. But they should have had more.

St. Matt’s loaded the bases with no outs off Lasson when left-handed batter Justin Harris bunted safely for a base hit to score teammate Eric Waca with the tying run. With the bases still loaded, Jon Henegar hit a soft pop to shortstop Brandon Mall, who dropped the ball. The infield fly rule was called and Methodist caught Matt Cochran off third base for a double play.

Lady Lions putting the pieces together

LAMOILLE — Hallie May believes the LaMoille/Ohio volleyball team is going to be in good shape heading into her fourth season as coach. She’s just not sure how all the pieces to the puzzle will exactly play out.

“Lots of options this year so we will leave things open at this point and just work towards finding an excellent line up by mid-September,” May said. “It’s a great group of girls, practices are competitive and exciting.”

With such strong numbers, 24 total, including 14 at the varsity level, May said she will be able to split practices so the varsity has the gym to itself. Previously, the practiced together so they could scrimmage with the F/S, but now it’s varsity vs. varsity.

2013 Bureau Valley golf preview

By Kevin Hieronymus

• St. Matthew’s 14, Methodist 1: St. Matt’s had 15 hits to win in five innings behind winning pitcher Brad Snethen.

• Methodist 4, St. Matthew’s 3: Jeff Lucas had the game-winning hit in the bottom of the seventh.

Rex Lasson was the winning pitcher.

Lady Lions volleyball at a glance:

The Bureau Valley golf team has five returning members this fall with a nice mix of promising talent. Storm coach Dan Gustafson is looking forward to seeing how they all come together and progress as individuals.

“Overall, I see this year’s golf team as a very hard working bunch. I like the vibe that I get during practices and how well they work together as a team,” Gustafson said.

“The veteran golfers are really stepping up and helping the newcomers out giving them pointers and really showing them that golf is not only an individual sport but a team sport as well.”

Seniors Ryan Young and Logan Twidell return for their fourth season, serving as team captains this year.

Young qualified for sectionals as a junior and Twidell just missed.

“These two golfers seem very energetic with the start of the season

and have high expectations for themselves,” Gustafson said. “They have put a lot of work in on their off season and have the dedication that is required to be successful this season. I have a feeling that these two will be out ready to qualify for sectionals again if not farther.”

Also returning this year are junior Jacob Heidenreich and sophomores Harrison Brousseau and Jay Norden.

Gustafson is pleased with the newcomers the Storm has gained and sees great potential in sophomores Jacob Cady and Justin Holmberg and freshmen Brock Lally, Jake Everson, Michael Law, and Nick Glubczynski.

The Storm opens the season at 4 p.m. Wednesday at Spring Creek Golf Course in Spring Valley against the host Hall Red Devils. They travel to Midland on Thursday.

• Once again, there are no girls golfing for Bureau Valley.

Church League Championship Scorecard

St. Matthew’s Jake Reinhardt tries to beat the throw to Methodist’s Brandon Mall in Saturday’s Princeton Fastpitch Church League finals.

Church

From Page 13 Jake Reinhardt singled to center, but with Michael Robinson about two or three steps from the plate, Harris was thrown out at third base to end the inning with the game tied at 3.

The first two Methodist batters reached on errors in the home half of the seventh. With two outs, Jeff Lucas dropped in a flare to right, bringing Todd Krost, pastor at Sheffield and Tiskilwa Methodist churches, rolling into home plate in a cloud of dust for the winning run.

Lucas joked about being in a contract year.

“What a finish with one of our new players, Pastor Todd Krost, scoring the game winner,” Lasson said. “Our team was

typical of many in league this year. We lost some players and picked up several who were big contributors. Todd, Brandon Sierens, Dylan Olson and Kevin Alt came on and gave us a huge boost with our regulars.

“It was great fun to win one with all these guys.

This is my fourth generation team in my 30 years. And each generation won the top spot at least once.”

St. Matt’s did all of damage in two innings in the first game, scoring six runs on five hits in the first and eight more on seven hits in the third. Erica Waca led the onslaught with three hits and three RBIs with Dayton Ince, Tim Forristall, Jon Henegar, Robinson and Harris adding two each.

Winning pitcher Brad

Snethen scattered eights hits, allowing a single run in the fifth inning.

He also started the second game, surrendering three runs and six hits in two innings. Chris Waca pitched four scoreless innings in relief until Methodist broke through in the seventh.

Church bulletin: The last nine league championships were decided by single-game outcomes. Methodist was the last league winner to need a secondgame victory, defeating Bunker Hill 4-1 in 2003 after a 3-2 loss. Methodist also went two games in 1992 over Covenant and 1985 over LaMoille Baptist. The last team to string two finals victories to claim the crown was Princeton Bible in 1983 over Covenant.

From Page 13 “I am looking for her to continue to contribute in a big way and play aggressively up front,” May said.

Forbes will lead the back row. She made 242 digs as last year’s libero and was a weapon serving with 113 points and 13 aces.

“She knows the game well and will be a key part to our defense and overall success,” added May. The team’s other senior, Vanessa Martinez, is a multi-purpose player who May said has a calming but competitive presence on the court.

“She is a coach’s dream in that she is extremely coachable and willing to try new things,” May said.

The junior class is 12 strong with Forbes, Emily Fahs, Harleigh Younge and Madi Walker and Samantha Martinez in the back row, Erin Bennett setting and playing opposite and Monica Joerger, Harris (2-3, 3b, rbi), J. Henegar (2-3, 2b, rbi), J. Reinhardt (1-3, rbi), M. Cochran (3b, rbi). Methodist - Mall (sac, rbi), D. Wilson (2 hits), T. Krost (2 hits, 2b).

May said Ohio junior Kaitlyn Hughes (front row) is questionable as she recovers from ACL injury.

Other members of the F/S team include sophomores Jordyn Pinter and Sarah Hunter, and freshmen Katy Anderson, Alana Cherry, Paige Conner, Riley Johnson, Hailey Monier and Hannah Pinter.

LaMoille/Ohio was the last Bureau County team standing in 2012, falling to Newark in the 1A regional finals.

Where in the World is the BCR?

Join the fun – Take a picture of your friends and family holding a copy of the BCR and send it to us to be included in this feature.

The BCR is the center of attention in this picture at Boyds Mills, Pa., where Paula Morrow led a workshop on writing for children. Highlights magazine offers writers’ workshops on fiction, nonfiction, novels, poetry, special themes, special markets and more.

Paula led two workshops this spring — one on writing for the religious market and one on writing for the educational market.

Fourteen members of the Eddie Grabill family visited the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio, to view his uniform and other equipment he used during World War I. The group consisted of Grabill’s children, grandchildren, greatgrandchildren and greatgreat-grandchildren.

They also read the accounts of the battles he was in during his tour where he received a purple heart.

Sue Golby, Marty Golby, Larry West and Toni West, all of Geneseo, along with Matilda the horse, have the BCR with them on the Aran Islands, Ireland. The Atlantic Ocean is in the background.

Where in the world is the BCR? Where in the world is the BCR? Well, that’s up to you! On your next excursion, take along a copy of the Bureau County Republican. Have someone snap a photograph of you holding the newspaper and send it or email it to us along with some pertinent information.

Mail or email your photo to BCR Associate Editor Rita Roberts at P.O. Box 340, Princeton, IL 61356, or email it to Roberts at rroberts@bcrnews.com.

During a 12-day trip to Russia in late June, Jim and Nancy Carlson had their picture taken with the BCR in front of St. Basil’s Cathedral in Red Square in Moscow. They spent three days in St. Petersburg, then cruised by river boat visiting several interesting Russian villages on their way to a three-day stay in Moscow.

Dave Johnson, a BCR employee, took along a copy of the BCR to Denver, Colo., and is pictured with his granddaughters, Alecsis (left) and Jennifer at Coors Field for the Cubs and Rockies baseball game on July 20. Although the Cubs didn’t win, being at the ballgame with his granddaughters made it a great day!

Larry Lucas, a member of the Princeton Elks Lodge, took along a copy of the BCR to the Elks National Convention in Reno, Nev. He was installed as Northwest District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler at the convention.

Ron and Veronica Litoborski took the BCR with them on a trip to Mexico City. They are seen here at Veronica’s father’s, Antonia Palomino, butcher shop (carniceria). “The best beef in Villa Coapa, Mexico,” they said.

200 years ago, lobsters were so plentiful that they could easily be picked up from New England beaches. Back then, lobsters were served to prisoners!

Strong claws and a hard outer shell make the American lobster one tough crustacean. It is aggressive and territorial. Whenever it can, it steals bait from traps and food from the homes of other lobsters. This has earned lobsters a nickname.

During its first month of life, a lobster is part of the plankton (clouds of tiny plant particles and sea creatures floating in the water near the surface).

Most lobsters are eaten by fish and other animals at this stage of life.

Use the code to crack the mystery of the lobsterʼs nickname.

Standards Link: Reading Comprehension: Following simple directions.

A lobster starts life as an egg, no larger than the head of a pin. Its mother carries it around on the underside of her body.

It doesn’t take x-ray vision to see a lobster’s skeleton. The lobster wears its bones on the outside. That crusty outer shell of bones is what gives lobsters, crabs and shrimp the name crustaceans.

Standards Link: Reading Comprehension: Following simple directions.

Lobsters are a favorite food of the octopus!

All crustaceans belong to a bigger group of animals called Arthropoda, which include spiders, insects, scorpions and horseshoe crabs!

Standards Link: Letter sequencing. Recognizing identical words. Skim and scan reading. Recall spelling patterns.

Americans eat over 10,000 tons of lobster every year.

Standards Link: Life Science: Understanding the life cycle of different organisms; living groups of organisms can be classified by shared characteristics; animals eat other animals for food; animals have structures that serve different functions in survival. Reading comprehension: Follow simple directions.

The American lobster has two strong claws: a big-toothed crusher claw for pulverizing shells and a finer-edged ripper claw for tearing soft flesh.

Lobsters also use their claws to fight with each other. If one fighter gets another into a claw-lock, the loser can “throw” (or release) its claw and walk away.

Lobsters are cannibals; the winner will eat the dropped claw. The loser will grow a new claw the next time it molts (sheds its shell and grows a new one).

Standards Link: Reading Comprehension: Following simple directions.

Look through the newspaper for five different contractions—two words that are clipped and made into one word. Then look through the newspaper for the two whole words that made up each contraction you selected.

Standards Link: Language Arts: Word Recognition; read and understand contractions.

A fight has left Leroy feeling loopy and lopsided!

Help him “grow” a new claw by drawing it.

Imagine you had claws instead of hands. Instead of writing messages with a pencil or pen, you have to use your claws to cut out letters and words. Use the newspaper to create a friendly lobster message by cutting out letters and words and pasting them onto a piece of paper.

Standards Link: Reading Comprehension: Following directions; creating sentences and phrases; spelling common sight words.

What would your life be like if you had lobster claws instead of hands?

Bureau County Fair

Fair dates — The 158th Bureau County Fair will run Aug. 21-25 at the Bureau County Fairgrounds in Princeton. See a schedule of events on Page 24.

From stick horses to draft horses PRINCETON — At the 158th Bureau County Fair, there will be horse shows on Saturday an Sunday.

On Sunday morning in McCutchan Arena, visitors can see two halter shows going on at once.

One of the most popular events at the Bureau County Fair is the draft horse show. This event features Percheron, Belgian and Clydesdale draft horses. The open horse show will have their halter classes starting at 10 a.m. at one end of the arena. The draft horse halter classes will be shown at the other end of the arena at the same time. This will give guest a great opportunity to compare the 2000 lb. draft horses with the quarter horses and ponies.

Following the lunch break, the performance classes will begin. Be sure to stop by the arena and watch the draft horses as

they are hitched to the large wagons in the exciting four- and six-horse hitch classes. There is even a Unicorn class, but it isn’t horned creatures that are being shown.

The Unicorn class is a hitch of three horses with two hooked close to the wagon and one out in front in the lead. There is also a riding class for draft horses and they will also be shown singly hitched to carts.

The open horse show performance classes feature Western Pleasure riding classes for adults and youth, English pleasure and even a Walk/ Trot class for the littlest riders. The open horse show classes will alternate with the draft horse show classes.

The horse speed show has been moved to Saturday with exhibition barrel racing starting at 9 a.m. The speed show begins at 11 a.m. with
