Accounting for its finances Princeton hears concerns about Caselle system

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

This is the second in a two-part series on the financial meeting held by Princeton City Council Tuesday, Aug. 16.

PRINCETON — After Bob Nowak, former temporary finance director, reviewed Princeton’s cash and cash reserves during the special finance meet-

ing held Tuesday, Aug. 16, he turned his focus to the city’s accounting system, Caselle, which is from the parent company Civic Systems.

Nowak listed several issues he had with the program, including how its setup is not a generally accepted accounting principal and the monthly statements are out of balance because

of the accounts payable feature. The system uses what he called a “phantom fund,” or Fund 98, which functions in a way that makes tracing transactions very difficult, he said. The usage of Fund 98 dates way back to 2000, he added. Also, the system shows revenue in brackets and expenses without brackets, which is backwards from most

standard accounting systems.

Nowak said the system was set up the way it is at the direction of the former city manager — Jeff Clawson held this position.

Nowak said it didn’t seem to him that it was a typical set up.

“When the former city manager came in, he was involved with consolidating a number of funds and

eliminating a number of accounts,” he said. “Civic made it seem like he was very instrumental in setting up the system the way it is.”

Nowak said he’d never heard of the system before coming to Princeton.

“I’ve never seen anything like this. I don’t want to discredit the theory or logic in a person’s head when this was set up. I

less, so the defendant will have to appear at an administrative adjudication hearing, where a fine will be imposed by a hearing officer.

Root also indicated there will be separate citations for cannabis and paraphernalia found on a person.

SPRING VALLEY — Superintendent Jim Hermes presented the Fiscal Year 2017 budget to the Spring Valley Elementary School Board at its meeting Wednesday, Aug. 17.

The tentative budget shows total revenues to be $6,454,709, while expenditures will be $6,607,413 for a deficit of $152,704.

Hermes explained that SVE will be receiving less money this year in local taxes due to the fact that Equalized Assessed Value (EAV) continues to drop.

The largest expenditure is the approximately $1.5 million in teacher salaries.

The complete budget will be on display for the next 30 days, with a budget hearing set for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21.

The elementary school welcomed the students back to school this week not only with a clean, fresh school but with a new slogan, “Believe in JFK.” Roof repairs and sewer repairs were completed on the building. Also, asbestos tiles were removed from several areas. The carpets were either cleaned or replaced, floors were polished, and painting was done as needed.

The technology staff was also busy preparing for the school year. Hermes said the iPads for sixth-, seventhand eighth-grade students were ready for the first day.

State eases penalty for pot possession eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Gov. Bruce Rauner signed Senate Bill 2228 into law on July 29, which amends the penalties for possession of smaller amounts of cannabis.

According to an Illinois State Police (ISP) press release, the Year 170 No. 100 One Section - 24 Pages

new law changes the penalty for possession of 10 grams or less of cannabis to a civil law violation — carrying a minimum fine of $100 and a maximum fine of $200.

Spring Valley Police Chief Kevin Sangston said since cannabis is now decriminalized, he and his officers are no longer taking

people into custody if they have 10 grams or less on their person; rather the offender is just handed a citation. They will no longer be brought to the station or fingerprinted or photographed.

Princeton Police Chief Tom Root said his police force will be utilizing their city ordinance violations for anything 10 grams or

Nowak’s issues with the city’s accounting system can be linked to the concerning audit reviews Princeton has received over the past three years regarding its system design and operation.

Reaching the summit

Area Scouts climb Pikes Peak

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Princeton Boy Scouts from Troop 1063 recently returned from a trip of a lifetime.

After spending nearly a year fundraising and planning for the trip, five scouts, one leader and a parent chaperone took the train to Colorado, where they spent two days hiking Pikes Peak and whitewater rafting the Royal Gorge on the Arkansas River.

The crew spent their time in Colorado Springs, where on Day 1, they warmed up their hiking skills on a tour through Garden of the Gods, which is a public park full of red rock formations.

The following day, the scouts started out on a two-day trek on Barr Trail up Pikes Peak, which is the highest summit in the Rocky Mountains with an elevation of 14,115 feet.

leader, said the trail is known to be one of the Top 10 most dangerous trails in the U.S. because of lightning.

“If you’re on the trail after noon, you are taking a chance with lightning,” he said, but added the

crew felt they could beat the odds.

“We got up 13,000 feet, and it started to rain and lightning. One guy told us to watch the animals. If the animals lie down, then you lie down,” Harris said.

Luckily, no one saw any

animals laying low to the ground, but as they continued on, the Scouts were met with sleet and snow.

After a full day of hiking, the group rested up for the night at Barr Camp, which is a stop for hikers halfway up the summit.

From Page 1 In the city’s audit management letter dated Oct. 27, 2015, from Striegel Knobloch & Co. of Bloomington, it identified certain deficiencies regarding bank reconciliations, investment reconciliations and segregation of duties.

It noted material weakness within the bank reconciliations.

It states, “Accounting personnel perform the bank reconciliation function. However, there is currently no procedure in place to review the bank reconciliation after it is completed. This practice would greatly enforce the checks and balances necessary for strong controls over cash …”

Under investment reconciliation, the document noted significant deficiencies with the investment accounts. It states, “We note that the investment statements did not agree to the general ledger. We recommend the city reconcile all investment statements to the general ledger on a regu-

Day 2 brought a few more challenges. The air became thinner; the hike became more rigorous; and some of the Scouts got touches of altitude sickness.

One of the Scouts, Mark Yaklich said a lot of the guys play sports like football and are in good shape, but the hike really tested their ability.

The group pushed on, and before they knew it, they had made it to the top.

Once there, the Scouts celebrated and cheered their accomplishments, took plenty of photos and relished in one of the greatest achievements of their lives.

The group took a cog train back to the bottom —a much quicker, easier option.

A neat fact the group remembered was when they started out their hike at the bottom of Pikes Peak it was 91 degrees. At the top, it was 34 degrees, according to Ronald “Ronnie” Thompson, who was a chaperone on the trip.

“They say (the temperature) changes five degrees every 1,000 feet,” he said.

lar basis and review investment activity for any unusual items.”

For segregation of duties, the management letter also noted significant deficiencies. It states, “Due to the limited number of people working for the city, many of the critical duties are combined and assigned to the available employees. Presently, a single individual performs the majority of the accounting functions. To the extent possible, duties should be segregated to serve as a check and balance and to maintain the best control system possible.”

Nowak provided recommendations to the city on how to move forward with a better accounting system. He suggested the city transition to an accrual basis of account consistent with generally accepted accounting principals and standards. He recommended Quick Books — a program he’s used for years in his career.

Nowak said changing the city’s accounting system would be difficult, but not impossible.

Nowak also suggested getting rid of the confusing Fund 98 and

Harris said the challenge taught the Scouts to be prepared.

“If you’re not prepared, it’s a little tougher and hard to overcome the obstacles,” he said.

Thompson agreed saying it was an eye-opener that one cannot be enough prepared.

The next day, the scouts set out whitewater rafting.

No one from the group had tried it out, so it would be a new experience for everyone.

Thompson said the guide made the escapade worthwhile.

“It wasn’t just about whitewater rafting. (The instructor) told us if you hear a whistle, everyone goes into safety mode. If someone fell out of the boat, we go there and save him,” he said. “We learned a lot of teamwork and how to work together … It was amazing to see, especially with no one having done this before.”

When the Boy Scouts returned home, each Scout earned their hiking and 50-miler merit badges.

establishing Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) as its own entity.

“It is not a separate fund (currently) on your books,” he said.

Following Nowak’s presentation, Quiram pointed out the changes new city manager Rachel Skaggs has been working on that have, so far, saved the city $267,000.

On Tuesday, Skaggs said going forward she would like to look at new practices that will ensure the city is holding itself accountable, including implementing a purchasing manual, working on internal control policies and outlining fund balances.

Effective January 2015, a new law was set in place for all cities, villages and counties. Entities are now required to invite their auditors to a public meeting within 30 days of receiving the audit report to present the audit to the governing board. This was a practice Princeton had not completed in the past.

LaSalle County birds test positive for West Nile

By Dave Cook dcook@bcrnews.com

OTTAWA — The LaSalle County Health Department has recently learned a crow collected in Peru on Aug. 11, another crow collected in Ottawa on Aug. 12 and a third crow in Oglesby on Aug. 16 have tested positive for the West Nile Virus. These are the first cases of the virus to be documented in LaSalle County this year.

West Nile is transmitted through the bite of the common house mosquito, Culex pipiens.

The mosquitoes acquire the virus by feeding on infected birds.

“Common symptoms include fever, nausea, headache and muscle aches, and they may last from a few days to a few weeks,” LaSalle County Director of Environmental Health Chris Pozzi said.

It’s known 80 percent of people infected with the virus will not show any symptoms. However, severe illness, including meningitis, encephalitis or even death can occur in rare cases.

People older than 50 or those with compromised immune systems are at higher risk of severe illness from the virus.

Zika virus is also transmitted mostly by mosquitoes, but the main breed of mosquito carrying

the virus, Aedes aegypti, is rarely found in Illinois.

Taking simple precautions can help you avoid mosquito bites and also help to prevent the spread of the virus. The main precautions include practicing the three R’s — reduce, repel and report.

Reduce the chance of a bite and also the amount of places for mosquitoes to breed by ensuring screens are tight fitting and repairing those that are torn or have other openings. Try to keep windows and doors shut.

Eliminate or refresh sources of standing water including bird baths, ponds, flower pots, wad-

ing pools, old tires or any other containers.

Repel mosquitoes when outdoors by wearing shoes and socks, long pants and a longsleeved shirt. Apply insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR 3535 according to instructions.

Consult a physician before using repellents on infants.

Report locations where stagnant water has been sitting for more than a week, such as ditches, flooded yards or other similar places that may produce mosquitoes. “The health department or city government may be able to add larvicide to the

Groups organize wetland construction expo in Bureau County Aug. 29-Sept. 1 Four-day event is open to the public PRINCETON — A four-day public expo in Bureau County showcasing the construction of a farm-based wetland designed for nutrient removal will be held on Aug. 29 through Sept. 1, at Bonucci Farms outside of Princeton.

The event is organized by the Wetlands Initiative (TWI), the Illinois Land Improvement Contractors Association (ILICA), and other partners.

The free public event will feature installation of a small constructed wetland designed to capture nutrient runoff from tile drainage; on Aug. 30 only, there will be talks on a variety of other on-farm practices related to nutrient loss reduction and pollinators. The event will also be a demonstration and exhibition of land improvement equipment. There is no admission charge, and everyone is welcome to attend, including landowners, farmers, agribusinesses, conservationists, planners and the general public. Continuing education credits will be available for Certified Crop Advisers.

“This is the second constructed wetland that has been built for tile treatment in Bureau County,” said Dr. Jill Kostel, TWI’s senior environmental engineer. She is providing technical assistance to farmers on the practice,

working with the Illinois Corn Growers Association on outreach, and collaborating with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) on the wetland design. “People are encouraged to come watch the construction and ask questions at any time over the four days,” Kostel added.

The expo will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

Tuesday, Aug. 30, will be a special Conservation Day with activities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. including the following: • Speakers on topics that will include constructed wetlands, cover crops (Illinois Council on Best Management Practices), pollinator habitat (Jannifer Powelson, Stark County Soil and Water Conservation District), and USDA programs (Erika Turner, NRCS).

• Food available for purchase.

• A Rainfall Simulator Unit arranged by the Bureau County Soil and Water Conservation District to provide a visual demonstration of a storm event and how water moves over and into the soil.

• Landowners can bring water samples from tile drainage, runoff or streams for testing on Tuesday, if desired, by the Illinois Council on Best Management Practices (for instructions see www.illinoiscbmp.org/Water-Testing/).

On Tuesday Julie Armstrong, executive director of the Illinois Nutrient Research

and Education Council, will give the lunchtime talk on current research on fertilizer use and nutrient loss reduction practices that optimize efficiency, ensure soil fertility, and address environmental concerns.

During the four-day expo, ILICA contractors will build a CP39 constructed wetland, which is designed to naturally capture and remove excess nutrients from tile drainage leaving farm fields. This wetland practice is available for reimbursement under the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) or the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) of the Farm Bill. Constructed wetlands are one of the practices recommended under the Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy to help reach its reduction goals.

“Constructed wetlands are key players in nutrient loss reduction and additionally provide great wildlife habitat value on-farm. With the support of our associates, ILICA is excited to partner with TWI to facilitate the installation of this end-of-pipe practice, demonstrating its applicability as a best management practice (BMP) in Illinois,” said Ryan Arch, ILICA’s executive director. “It’s great to see producers like Bonucci Farms taking steps to address Illinois’ nutrient loss reduction goals, and ILICA is pleased to be able to help contribute to their efforts.”

The expo will highlight how constructed wetlands can get results while taking up little land. “These wetlands are small and placed alongside or within drainage ways, in areas of less-productive farmland,” said Kostel. “The wetland they’ll be building at the expo is 4.8 acres in size including the surrounding pollinator habitat buffer. This practice has been shown to be highly effective at removing nutrients, putting your marginal land to work for you for many years with very little maintenance.”

Cooperators on the conservation expo include Bonucci Farms, Illinois Land Improvement Contractors Association, the Wetlands Initiative, Bureau County Soil and Water Conservation District, Champaign County Soil and Water Conservation District, Illinois Corn Growers Association, Illinois Council on Best Management Practices, Illinois Nutrient Research and Education Council, Stark County Soil and Water Conservation District, USDA-Farm Service Agency, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, and Zea Mays Foundation.

Registration is not required.

To reach the event, take County Road 1500N east from Route 26 just south of Princeton. Signs will direct you to the parking area. For more information about the event, call ILICA at 309-446-3700 or the Bureau County SWCD at 815-875-8732, ext. 3.

while being mindful of the penalty changes for smaller amounts of cannabis.

“The public is reminded that cannabis possession without a medical marijuana card is still illegal; the penalty and fines have changed. In addition, drivers under the influence of cannabis will still be arrested and prosecuted.”

Putnam County Sheriff Kevin Doyle said they are looking to pass a county ordinance that addresses the law change, where possession of a small amount of cannabis becomes an ordinance type of violation.

Darren Hefty of Hefty Seed Co. and Ag PhD will speak during the grand opening on Sept. 13.

Bureau County State’s Attorney Geno Caffarini shared his opinion on the penalty change.

“My issue is now it’s a civil law violation, so we’re not encouraging young people to use cannabis, but we’re making it more attractive to do so,” Caffarini said, noting if someone underage is caught using alcohol they lose their license, even if there is no vehicle present in the setting where the alcohol was used. “With cannabis, you’re not going to lose your license. We don’t want them to use either, but it’s like saying, ‘If you’re going to break the law, use cannabis because the penal-

ties are so much less than if you use alcohol.’”

Alcohol eventually becomes legal at the age of 21, but currently cannabis is illegal regardless of a person’s age. Caffarini is aware of the national shift, so to speak, of decriminalizing cannabis, but he believes any habit formed with an illegal substance is not a good route to take.

“They passed this law, but they didn’t really give much guidance or procedure of how to handle it — there are just so many unanswered questions to this law.”

Chicago man sentenced to jail for bank robbery PRINCETON — Paul Windham III, 32, of Chicago was sentenced by Associate Judge C.J. Hollerich on July 26 to six months in the Bureau County Jail and placed on four years of probation after pleading guilty to the Class 2 felony of robbery. He was also ordered to pay $6,000 in fines and fees, which have been paid in full. He was also ordered to pay $861 in restitution, which was also paid from his bond.

Windham and Darryl Woods entered Centrue Bank in Princeton on May 28, 2015, and presented the bank teller with a note demanding that the teller clear out the drawer and put the money in a bag they handed to the teller. The teller complied, and the men fled the scene.

An investigation was conducted by the Princeton Police Department and the Illinois State Police. The police were able to retrieve a fingerprint from a napkin that matched Windham. He was also identified through video surveillance at the bank. A charge was filed and a warrant was issued for Windham’s arrest. He was apprehended in Indiana and brought to Bureau County. He was interviewed

by John Shofner of the Princeton Police Department and admitted to being at the bank, but stated that he did not know what Woods was planning to do.

Windham has no prior criminal history. Woods was sentenced to 4 and 1/2 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections after pleading guilty to the Class 2 felony of robbery on Sept. 20, 2015. Woods had a prior criminal history out of Cook County and was on felony probation at the time he committed this offense in 2015.

Iowa man sentenced to prison for unlawful possession of weapon PRINCETON — Eric A. Powell, 30, of Garner, Iowa, was sentenced by Circuit Judge Marc Bernabei on Aug. 11 to serve 2 and 1/2 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections after pleading guilty to the Class 3 felony of unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon.

Garner was given credit for 30 days of time served since his arrest on July 6. He was ordered to pay $762 in fines, fees and costs.

The Illinois State Police stopped a vehicle driven by Powell on July 6 on Interstate 80 for vehicle code violations. A passenger in the vehicle was in possession of a small amount of cannabis and the vehicle was searched. A loaded 9 mm semi-automatic pistol was located within the immediate reach of Powell, who had been removed from the vehicle prior to the search.

Powell had a 2008 felony drug conviction in Minnesota, which led to the charge. He has no other felony record.

A wave of change I grew up on a farm. While that meant many things back then, one of the most important traits that distinguished us from city folks was the ability to wave to anyone who traveled down that dusty gravel road in front of our farm.

OK. The road I lived on was rather Terri remote, and by and Simon large, we knew most of the people who COMMENTARY drove back and forth in front of that old farmhouse, but it really didn’t matter. Whenever a vehicle passed by, the polite thing to do was lift one’s arm and wave at whoever was driving by. It’s just what we did.

For years, I watched my grandfather acknowledge everyone who drove past our home. It didn’t matter what he was doing — working with the ponies, making fence, doing chores, sitting on the front porch — if he was anywhere near that vehicle and its occupants, the wave was automatic. If he happened to be carrying a bucket of water or animal feed in each hand and wasn’t able to actually wave, he would at least acknowledge them with a nod.

That wave was the unspoken law of the land, at least by my family’s standards. Consequently, nobody told me to do so, but I began to wave to everyone who passed — neighbors, friends and strangers alike. From as early as I remember, when my grandfather’s arm went up, so did mine. It’s just what we did. And when I happened to be outside playing or doing something by myself, my arm had been well-trained to wave to all.

That wave was a tradition of sorts. Amidst the deep, black soil of our Midwestern farmland, the wave of a hand was as much a part of our culture as tree swings, potluck dinners and standing around with a bunch of farmers at the local feed store. In many ways, that legendary wave of one’s arm is what separated us from the rest. I’m not sure who first thought about lifting one’s arm and offering that brief salutation, but as I think back, this country ritual was as important as baking one’s own pies and bread, hanging one’s laundry on the clothesline and skipping stones in Big Bureau Creek.

As I think back, I always remember our neighbors waving to us as we drove by, and of course, we always waved back. Conversely, I don’t ever remember anybody in town acknowledging us in Grandpa’s old, green Chevy as we drove down Main Street. But as soon as we turned the Chevy toward home, the waves began again.

Fast forward what seems like a bazillion years, and the dusty road is only a memory, as is the old, green Chevy, the farmhouse and all the traditions that went along with being a country kid. Times change. A paved street runs in front of my home; I’ve never hung my adult laundry on a clothesline; and baking my own pies ... well, Marie Callendar, Sara Lee and I have a special friendship.

But it’s been said you can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl. ...

Standing outside with my dog in tow, I find myself waving to everyone who passes by my home. I’m fairly sure I at least know a few of the people, though my eyesight is as ancient as Grandpa’s old, green Chevy, so I don’t know for sure. Likewise, my memory isn’t the greatest either, so realistically — except for a few vehicles, I never remember who is driving what. But none of that matters. A vehicle zooms by, and my arm automatically goes up. I wave. It’s what I was taught to do. It’s what I’m supposed to do.

While I still get a wave from a few farmers when I’m out riding in the country, that friendly gesture sure isn’t as prominent as it used to be. There’s been a wave of change, so to speak, and it kind of saddens me to think this friendly tradition is waving good-bye.

There’s something inside me, however, that wonders what a world we’d have if everyone raised their arm and waved to one another. While we always seem to strive to take steps forward, I have to wonder if this step backward in time would cause a wave of change in our little corner of the world.

Recalculating Technology is a nice thing, right up until the point when you really need it, and then technology leaves you by the side of the road like a jilted lover.

Stupid technology.

Last weekend, we had a family wedding to attend down by my brother’s house which is a couple of hours from where we live. The plan was for my brood (my wife, daughter and myself) to drive my parents down to his house at which point he would take my mom and dad to the wedding venue. They all had to be there earlier than we did for photographs and what not. We would take the 20-minute drive a little later and show up in time for the wedding. I thought the plan was foolproof but as so many times before, I underestimated the fools involved.

The whole day, my wife and I had been using the GPS apps on our phones to guide us around. We used it to show us the best route for the two-hour trip to my brother’s place. We even had the volume turned up on both our phones so Mom and Dad could hear when the map lady told us a turn was coming up. I’ve told them before that they should get smart phones and they could have neat little apps, too. They tend to think that smart phones and apps are the work of the devil.

Once we got my parents to my brother’s house and loaded into his car, my brother asked if we needed written directions to where the wedding was to be held.

I held up my little phone and told him that his directions would not be necessary and that my GPS would magically show us the way.

He smiled as he slid in behind the wheel and said that he would see us there.

I would estimate that we probably hung out at his place for an hour or so before we decided that we had better head out for the outdoor ceremony that was to take place at 3 p.m. My brother told us not to be

Greg Wallace COMMENTARY late because this was going to be a very short ceremony.

Now, as a matter of full-disclosure, I should point out that this is not the first time that I have written about this brother. I have two of them and one is a St. Louis Cardinals fan. This one isn’t that bad. This is the one that I caught wearing my mother’s glasses after his were allegedly broken. I think he was just trying to make a fashion statement. However, this brother is an Iowa Hawkeyes fan so I should have known that there would be trouble afoot.

As my wife, my daughter and I started out on our way, I turned off the GPS thingy on my phone because my wife had hers on and it just seemed silly to waste the battery power. So we listened to the little person inside her phone lead us on our journey. It was a beautiful day for a drive. We crossed the Mississippi River, we drove alongside cornfields and bean fields. We went through some quaint little villages with our map lady directing us all the way.

As we approached the town where the wedding was to take place, I remembered my brother saying that the place we were looking for was a big white building constructed back in the 1850s that had been made into a bed and breakfast.

The wedding was to take place on a side lawn and the reception would be right next to that. He said it would be right on the outskirts of town, straight past the main stop sign.

This stop sign is where technology hopped out of the car. Instead of going straight, our satanic GPS told us to turn. And since my dumb

brother didn’t provide us with written directions like I had pleaded for him to do, we didn’t know any better. So we took the turn. It was a left.

We were probably three or four miles out of town when the app lady informed us that we were reaching our destination. As we turned the corner, there was the large sign that read ... Scanlon Trucking. Actually, we were at the mini-storage place beside Scanlon Trucking, but there was no wedding to be found. I immediately tried pulling up the GPS on my phone but apparently that part of the world hasn’t heard of the Internet yet because I couldn’t get anything.

We were basically lost at sea. Looking at the time on the clock, panic ensued.

It was about seven minutes until 3 p.m. when I somehow got a call through to my brother. He asked where we were. I said by a cornfield. He cackled and told us to go back to town and go straight at the stop sign. We did what he told us and we somehow ended up making it to the place and got seated before the bride was walked down the aisle. I think that an Iowa Hawkeyes fan being more reliable than GPS is one of the signs of the apocalypse.

The wedding was fun and so was the reception. We all stayed down there that night, and at the breakfast table the next morning, my brother asked to see my phone to try and determine just what went wrong with the GPS. As he held the phone at arm’s length, looking over the top of his glasses, I could tell that he was having a rough time seeing it. Believe it or not, it turned out that he “accidentally” had his wife’s glasses on.

He is one fashionable Hawkeyes fan.

Illinois Corn Checkoff donates to Ag in the Classroom

Hammin’ it up at the senior center

BCR photo/Becky Kramer

The Bureau County Senior Center held its second annual ham dinner fundraiser on Sunday, Aug. 14, at the senior center in Princeton. The ham dinner, which included ham, potatoes and all the fixings, was a fundraiser for the Bureau County Senior Center, which serves senior throughout the county.

BLOOMINGTON — The Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom (IAITC) program will continue providing free education resources to teachers, thanks in part to a $90,000 donation from the Illinois Corn Checkoff, administered by the Illinois Corn Marketing Board (ICMB).

With its recent contribution, the ICMB helps IAITC fund its upcoming program year and continues its long-standing position as the top commodity contributor to the ag literacy program.

“The Illinois Corn Marketing Board is proud to continue our support of agricultural education efforts by investing checkoff dollars with the IAA

Foundation and IAITC,” said Tom Mueller, chairman, ICMB. “As there are fewer and fewer of us actively engaged in farming, it becomes even more important to provide quality, science-based education resources to youth, so that they might grow up with a more robust understanding of how their food gets to their table. And maybe they’ll share what they learn with their parents, too.”

The donation directly helps 70 Illinois county ag literacy coalitions engage local educators and students with accurate education about agriculture through lessons and materials based in math, language arts, science and social studies.

15 congregations will sponsor community worship service at fair PRINCETON — Fifteen Bureau County congregations are sponsoring this year’s community worship at the 161st annual Bureau County Fair. The service will be at 10 a.m. Sunday, Aug 28, in the grandstand.

This is the ninth year for this ecumenical service.

The speaker originally was announced as Jo Anne Lyon, who with deep regrets cannot be at the service due to a family medical emergency. Fortunately, another in-high-demand speaker has quickly been found.

Jim Dunn, who had only two open weekends for the rest of 2016, has agreed

to speak at the service.

He is a gifted leader in the area of spiritual formation and currently serves as a coach in the area of church development. He is a published author.

Dunn has served as a pastor of a growJim ing congregation for Dunn 15 years and was an elected official in the Wesleyan Church for 12 years. He has preached the Gospel in 42 states and on four continents.

Admission to the grandstand is free for this service, with shuttle service from the parking area to the grandstand. After attending worship, adults may enter the midway through the gate by the grandstand for $3 (regular $5); children age 7 to 12 are $2; and children 6 and under are free.

The service is hosted by the First Baptist Church of LaMoille, First Baptist Church of Manlius, First Congregational Church of Bureau, Hollowayville United Church of Christ, Willow Springs Mennonite Church in Tiskilwa, Zion Lutheran Church of Clarion and the following congregations from Princeton: Christ Com-

munity Church, Evangelical Covenant Church, First Presbyterian Church, First Lutheran Church, First United Methodist Church, Seventh Day Adventist Church, St. John Lutheran Church, St. Matthews Lutheran Church and Princeton Wesleyan Church.

The service will be broadcast live on WZOE. For more information, contact Pastor Derek Boggs at 815-875-2124 or derek@ eccprinceton.org; Pastor Scott Schmidt at 815-879-6491 or pastor.stmatthewsprinceton@gmail.com; or Pastor Doug Kirkpatrick at 815-879-4481 or dougkirk71198@ comcast.net.

PMH offers senior behavioral wellness service PRINCETON — Perry Memorial Hospital in Princeton is announcing the opening of the Perry Memorial Senior Behavioral Wellness outpatient counseling services.

This service will provide emotional support for seniors in the local area. In retirement years, many unexpected events can occur that drastically change lives — death of a loved one, new health conditions, family problems, and financial difficulties to name a few. The result for the person in senior years can include increased worries or fears, overwhelming emotions, and beliefs that he/she is the only one dealing with these feelings.

Giving seniors an outlet to discuss life events, lack of control over what happens, and related feelings is the main purpose of PMH’s Senior Behavioral Wellness service. This Medicare covered service includes transportation, therapeutic small group discussions, and the opportunity to eat a meal with others. Individual counseling and family counseling sessions are also available.

PMH’s Senior Behavioral Wellness service helps seniors work through the concerns they face in life, and to learn new ways to cope and think about their personal challenges. The service also celebrate joyous memories, and make sure to find something to laugh about every day. It can be a huge relief to know that there are others who share similar feelings and experiences. PMH’s Senior Behavioral Wellness service is

CHAMPAIGN — Recent rains increased soil moisture throughout the state, according to Jennie Atkins, Water and Atmospheric Resources Monitoring (WARM) program manager at the Illinois State Water Survey, Prairie Research Institute, University of Illinois.

Illinois received 1.92 inches of rain from Aug. 11 to 14. In comparison, the state rainfall total for the first 10 days of August was 0.70 inches. Soil moisture levels had been falling at the 2-, 4-, and 8-inch depths through the first part of the month, but the recent precipitation has led to significant increases in all regions of the state.

Statewide soil moisture levels at 2 inches rose an average of 47 percent from Aug. 11 to 14 to 0.34 water fraction by volume (wfv). The highest increases occurred in Southern Illinois where levels increased an average of 71 percent over the four-day period.

Soil moisture also increased at 4- and 8-inch

depths to Aug. 14 levels of 0.33 wfv at both depths.

Levels at depths of 20 to 59 inches remained high though no significant increases occurred.

Soil temperatures have been 2 to 4 degrees higher than the long-term average for the first half of August.

Temperatures at 2 inches under bare soil averaged 78.7 degrees on Aug. 14 with regional averages ranging from 77.1 degrees in the east to 80.8 degrees in western Illinois. At 4 inches, temperatures averaged 78.4 degrees. Under sod, temperatures were slightly cooler with a state average of 78.3 degrees at 4 inches and 77.8 degrees at 8 inches.

The Illinois State Water Survey’s WARM Program collects hourly and daily weather and soil information at 19 stations across the state. Daily and monthly summaries can be found at the WARM website http://www.isws.illinois. edu/warm/ and in the Illinois Water and Climate Summary http://www. isws.illinois.edu/warm/climate.asp.

L.E.A.N. Start being offered at Sheffield’s Cornerstone Community Wellness Center Wyanet woman first to offer program in the area

childhood obesity, nutrition deficit disorder and reported ineffectiveness of government-funded, child directed programs.

The six-week program keenly focuses on lifestyle, exercise, attitude and nutrition (L.E.A.N.), and equipping parents with the knowledge, tools and skills they need to improve the health of their children and foster healthy lifestyles in their households.

Workshops teach parents how to make shopping easier, how to make healthy foods taste great, and how to incorporate these principles into hectic schedules.

After evaluating pre and post-assessment clinical data dating from the program’s launch to July 2008, results showed after completing the program, the number of participants who usually or always read nutritional labels before buying food increased 52 percent, while participants who considered nutrition when deciding which types of food to serve young children rose from 19 percent to 77 percent. Additionally, the percentage of children of participating parents who ate three or more servings of fruits and vegetables increased from 19 percent and 23 percent respectively.

Parents and caregivers who participated in the workshop also reported a substantial decrease in television and computer usage among young children and an increase in physical activity. Television and computer usage decreased by 28 and 37 percent respectively. The results are based on responses from 600 participants. Clinical data is still being collected, and research is ongoing.

“We look forward to equipping parents and caregivers in the area to help create healthy behaviors for their children and families that will last a lifetime,” Warkins said. “And, we have a lot of fun doing it.”

For more information about the course or the L.E.A.N. Start Program, call Warkins at 815-876-6403 or email myoilinfusedlife@gmail.com.

After participating in the L.E.A.N. Start Program, developed by pediatrician Dr. William Sears and Sean Foy, M.A., a leading exercise physiologist and nutrition expert, the number of parents who usually or always read nutritional labels before buying food increased 52 percent.

While most nutrition education programs target children, the L.E.A.N. Start Program fills a void as one of the first to be uniquely designed for parents and caregivers. The program provides them with the tools to teach their children about nutrition and exercise along with simple strategies to implement, especially effective as a method for prevention and intervention in families where nutrition related behaviors or childhood obesity are a concern.

Sears’ L.E.A.N. Start is being offered at Cornerstone Community Wellness in Sheffield. Whitney Warkins of Wyanet is the first certified health coach to offer the program in the area.

“To make a significant change in the health of our children, we must emphasize the role parents play in modeling healthy behavior, and educate parents on the benefits and principles of nutrition because they are responsible for grocery shopping, preparing meals, and shaping children’s tastes,” said Sears, program co-founder and author of “LEAN Kids and The Healthiest Kid in the Neighborhood.” “There are a number of programs out there, but they fail to impact the behavior of the parents. We’ve determined that in order to achieve real success, the education of parents is critical.”

The L.E.A.N. Start Program was first launched in Orange County, Calif., in 2007 after several years of trials and development in response to growing concerns over

Salazar is home again Former Hall coach returns

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Demi Salazar is home again.

The former Hall coach is back coaching the Lady Devils this fall after an eightyear absence and couldn’t be happier to be back in the game. He coached at Hall from 2002-2008, winning six regionals, two sectionals and placing fourth in the IHSA state finals in 2005.

Salazar last coached at the high school level at Henry in 2010, but has remained in the sport at the club level.

“It feels awesome to be back coaching at the high school. It has changed a lot.

Seemed easier to do before,” Salazar said. “With club, it does not seem like I left volleyball. But, it does feel like I left high school. At the Serena tourney (this summer) people thought it was my first year ever. I think they thought I was a grandpa that volunteered.”

Puck will rely on Tigresses’ depth

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — When coach Andy Puck and the Princeton Tigresses take the court this season, the 15-year stalwart of Tigress volleyball is confident he could put multiple combinations of players on the court and still have a successful season.

The depth the Tigresses have is only complimented by the confidence Puck has in his squad. He sees the possibility that every one of his athletes can make a contribution off

The new Hall coach, who is also the old Hall coach, said the adjustments have been going well for the girls, who last year played for interim head coach Bernadette Savitch. She filled in for former head coach Megan Uphoff while on maternity leave.

“The attitude is excellent.

The system is pretty complex so it has been harder there,” Salazar said. “But, the kids are so neat. I just love the group I have. They are starting to believe in what we say. The hardest part is changing that in their minds. Will be hard to get them to believe losing early is not bad unless we don’t learn. So, we’re starting there.”

The Hall coach joked the girls have to get used to his personality and energetic coaching style.

“I am a different person to them. I jump around.

And we laugh. It is supposed to be fun,” he said.

“This is probably their biggest weakness. They need to understand I do not care about losing. It is different than being a loser. We aim for a regional. If we get it, no previous loss stands in our way. So, we work on that a lot.

“My goal for them is being satisfied and when they leave still loving the game and /or missing it. We have done that quite well in the past, and I am working on

my skills to make that happen. So, they challenge me also to be better. In the end, they teach me way more than I do them. So, I thank them for the faith they have in me.”

The speed of the game Salazar wants to bring has been the biggest area of adjustment, he said. “(Speed) is our trademark on defense and offense.

So, they need to move at a much different level,” he said. “Also, we are very precise in duties. So, they need to remember the rules. That is actually very hard. They are used to different situations.

“Setters have had a hard time with the speed we want. So, we have had a lot of hitting errors. Mostly from the speed being OK one time and then going back to the other at another time.”

Salazar said the Lady Devils should have some surprising capability.

Returning letter winners for the Lady Devils are seniors Tori Coble (WSH), Abby Hoscheid (OH), Jenna Lusietto (MH) and Madi Quinn (DS). Also returning are juniors Kaelyn Hamalle (MH), Cassidy Jablonski (MH), Madi Soldati (DS) and sophomore Gertie Savitch (S).

First-year seniors Faith Whightsil (MH), Anais Cruz (DS) and Griselda Chavez (DS) have come out to join the Lady Devils’ program this year. Other varsity newcomers include juniors Emme Taliani (S), Kora Cruz (S), Courtney Kobold (OH), Olivia Orlandi (WSH), Lauren Bulak (DS), Hannah Bernardoni (OH) and Jocelyn Islas-Garcia (DS).

Hall will open the season at home Tuesday, Aug. 23, with Seneca, and Salazar said they are ready to go.

“At the start of the season I asked them if they were satisfied with 10-22 last year. They all said no. I said, ‘What if we improved to 12-22?’ They said no,” Salazar said. “I said if you won those two at the end of the year, you were regional champs. Lights went on.”

From Page 13 the bench or eventually in a starting role.

“Once a few of our girls get a little experience, they settle in and figure out the varsity game, I have no doubt that every single one of these girls on our roster could work their way into some starting playing time by the end of the year,” Puck said.

The Tigresses return two second team all-conference selections in junior Anna Murray (2014) and senior Courtney Oeder (2015), and the pair will also serve as leaders for Princeton and take on responsibilities of being captains.

The Tigresses have been no stranger to adversity and setbacks as a pair of similar ACL injuries hindered the development of Murray and promising junior Sarah Grieff over the last two seasons.

Murray went down with an ACL injury after her freshman year of volleyball, and according to Puck, is finally reaching 100 percent as she enters her junior campaign. Grieff was tabbed to be called up for varsity time last season as a sophomore, but once again the injury bug bit the Tigresses.

Oeder, a 6-1 senior,

returns with her team leading 43 blocks from last season and also brings with her 147 kills, which was good for third best for the Tigresses last season.

“The sky is the limit with Courtney this season,” Puck said. “The amount of time and work she has put in to improving and becoming the best player she can be has been phenomenal.

It’s going to be fun to watch her get better as the season progresses.”

With a plethora of talent, the Tigresses will have a starting rotation by platoon this season that will include Anna Murray (OH), Oeder (MH), senior Jenna Grimmer (S/OPP), junior Katelyn Vigars (S/DS) junior Sara Grieff (MB/OPP), sophomore Miranda Sorenson (MB/OPP), sophomore Corinne Peterson (DS), junior Lydia Smallwood (DS), senior Sarah Murray (DS) and sophomore Abby Scaggs.

“I can honestly say all of these players have the potential to see some starting time by the end of the season,” Puck said.

“I’ve not been able to say that for a very long time.

We’re going to play at a very high level, and I think once we get a few games under our belts, I think we’ll really start to come together as a team and play good volleyball.”

Wild World of Animals part of free daily entertainment PRINCETON — Don’t miss the free entertainment daily during the Bureau County Fair. Pick up a schedule when you get to the fairgrounds so you don’t miss this fun and educational show.

The Wild World of Animals show is one of the premier grounds act in the entertainment industry.

Its unique blend of animal diversity and environmental messages coupled with originally scripted nonstop laughter, especially an opinionated pig, makes for an enjoyable time for the whole family.

Have you ever held a 13-foot, 100-pound python, stared into the eyes of brutus, or unknowingly worn a safari vest filled with creepy critters?

The volunteers that are called onstage get to do that and much more.

The Wild World of Animals show is fast-paced and full of energy. The animals in the show range from arthropods, amphibians, reptiles, birds and finally mammals. The audience learns interesting animal facts, laughs at their antics and witnesses their amazing natural abilities. Don’t blink or you may miss an animal running, slithering, jumping or flying across our stage.

Some of the animals that may appear in the show

are a macaw (parrot), pot-bellied pigs, alligator, snapping turtle, a Burmese python or an African monkey.

Other daily free entertainment is the chainsaw artistry of Tim and Karen Barker. Watch the Barkers as they use chainsaws to create unique sculptures out of Catalpa tree logs.

From a bare log you will soon see a whimsical raccoon or bear cub appear.

Barkers will be carving daily during the fair.

You can own a piece of their artwork for yourself.

There will be a chain saw carving auction at 2:30 p.m. Sunday and all of the carvings will be sold at that time. There will also be a pie auction at the same time. The proceeds from this sale will be donated to the new Bureau County Fair Queen for help with expenses as she represents Bureau County at the Illinois State Fair Queen Pageant in Springfield in January.

The chain saw carving auction will be at 2 p.m. Sunday.

Also at that time will be the Queen’s Pie auction.

Horsepower on display Wednesday at the fair PRINCETON — A traditional event that you may have seen 100 years ago or more at the Bureau County Fair kicks of the Bureau County Fair grandstand entertainment on Wednesday at 6 p.m. The heavy horse pull returns then, and you won’t want to miss it. It is sanctioned by the Wisconsin Horse Puller’s Association. Tickets are $5 for adults, children 12 and under are free.

There will be two classes of draft horses (3,300 pounds and heavyweights), pulling on a Dynamometer (the apparatus that was made to measure horsepower).

These gentle giants pull as a team, and the team pulling the biggest load the full length is declared the winner. Unlike a tractor pull where the load gets heavier as they pull, the dynamometer stays at a preset weight for a distance of 27 feet and 6 inches. That is a qualified load to go onto a bigger load.

The dynamometer machine is built from a 1952 Flat-head Ford and is used just for the sport of horsepulling. It is similar to the sled used by the tractor pullers, with the weight increasing as the stronger teams compete. As the teams come to the dynamometer, you will see the driver hop up onto the seat while the “hookers” drop the hook at the back of the teams harness into a slot.

The action begins immediately when the huge horses’ hooves dig into the dirt and throw their weight into the harness. You will see why these are called heavy horses, as their muscles ripple as they strain to pull the sled. If the hooker misses the hook, the driver has to jump off the

seat and control his team as they come around for another shot at it. If he isn’t quick enough, he could do a face plant in the dirt as the teams go into action.

Although we never know how many teams will be pulling, we hope to have a good selection of teams entered. The draft horses are primarily of the Belgian draft horse breed because of their muscular structure. They are kept in shape like any other athlete would do for their given sport. You’ll literally be seeing actual horsepower. See Horsepullers. com for more details.

If you enjoy seeing draft horses at the fair, come back on Sunday for the draft horse show. Halter classes begin at 10 a.m., and the six-horse hitch

class will begin after the lunch break.

Breeds expected are Clydesdales,

Belgians and Percherons.
