PRINCETON — Princeton Tigers Athletic Booster Club board members, citing ongoing tensions with high school staff, will meet in closed session with the high school board to discuss their concerns.

Club members wanted to hold that discussion in public at the school board meeting Wednesday, Aug. 24, but were told that because the matter involves a personnel issue, talks must happen in closed session.

The school board based that deci-

Page 4 sion on the state Open Meetings Act, which says in part that public bodies may choose to hold closed sessions to consider the discipline, performance, or dismissal of a specific employee, or “to hear testimony on a complaint lodged against an employee to determine its validity.”

PHS Superintendent Kirk Haring told club President Rodney Wedekind that

members could address the school board in private at its Sept. 28 meeting.

Kelley Fisher, vice president and public relations officer, told the school board that the Booster club’s six board members “have concerns we feel need to be addressed that weren’t previously addressed by the PHS administration.

“It is our understanding that the board is citing the Open Meetings Act that allows, but does not require, the board to exclude certain types of discussion in open session,” Fisher said, reading from a prepared statement.

Hall budget back in black for first time since 2010

By Becky Kramer news@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Hall High School will be back in the black — there’s no more red bleeding out of the budget.

At the Hall board of education meeting Wednesday, Aug. 24, Superintendent Mike Struna presented a proposed budget that shows $7,339,181 in

total revenue and $7,310,696 in expenses. This will be the first time since 2010 that the budget is in the black.

The balanced budget was a result of $350,000 in education fund cuts and $179,000 in additional state aid.

Hall Education Association President Nicky Barto addressed the board on behalf of the teachers’ union.

“I am thrilled to be able to address the board tonight to express how refreshing it is to start this school year with a settled contract,” Barto said. “A special thanks to the association team and all members of the association for understanding the financial distress of the district by accepting a hard freeze, much larger class sizes and reductions in classroom supply expenses,

while at the same time helping to increase the percentage of freshmen on track to graduate.”

Barto also encouraged the board to use due diligence in working with the additional funding and to remember the sacrifices the staff has had to make in reaching a finalized contract.

Leaking roof fixed at LaMoille H.S.

By Zachary J. Pratt news@bcrnews.com

LAMOILLE — A leaking gym roof at LaMoille High School was discussed by the LaMoille Community Unit School Board on Thursday, Aug. 18.

Superintendent Ricardo Espinoza spoke about the work which had been conducted on the roof, and that which still remained.

“We did have a roof leak,” Espinoza said. “We went ahead and repaired them.

This was a new spot that hadn’t been leaking before.”

After what Espinoza described as a hard rain the

day of the meeting, they checked to see if the situation had been resolved.

“There wasn’t any more leaking,” he said.

This did not mean the school was done taking care of the roof issues, though the situation indicated that most of the work was completed.

“We still have the option of having Energy Seal come and seal the roof,” Espinoza said. “There’s not a lot of work to do except just go up and seal it one more time.”

Board president Jeff Pinter suggested the school not hire the group to finish the job, as there

Hall From Page 1 Struna stressed that a state budget still will need to be passed and it is not known how that budget will affect Hall High School.

Enrollment is on the rise, with 45 more students enrolled this year than the same time last year. There are 95 seniors, 90 juniors, 129 sophomores, and 125 freshmen attending Hall.

Though the increased enrollment creates additional revenue, it also causes teachers to have larger class sizes.

Fall sport numbers are looking good.

There are 54 students out for football, 40 for volleyball, 18 for cross country, nine for boys’ golf and 14 for boys’ soccer.

were capable individuals readily available that could be relied on.

“I would say we coat all of it,” Pinter said.

“It’s not leaking on the other side, but we can do it,” Espinoza said.

A group of students who had assisted in technology-related duties were recognized by the board.

Mary Taylor, district technology coordinator, recognized the assistance of four students who had helped with the setup of various technology-related systems.

These volunteers helped with a variety of jobs,

charges to a negative balance of $10.

This will help keep charges from getting out of control, Struna said.

• The board accepted the resignation of teacher aide Megan Uphoff.

• Kayleen Loch was hired as student council advisor and Bettyann Harrison as MHCC sponsor.

• Spring coaches were hired. Tom Keegan will be head coach and Randy Tieman will be assistant coach in baseball. Brian Holman was hired as head softball coach.

Boys’ head track coach will be Rob Malerk, girls’ head track coach will be Nick Hanck, and assistant coach will be Matt Hassler.

including the re-imaging of the computers, the lab setup in Van Orin and the charging stations in the individual classrooms.

“They were outstanding help,” Taylor said.

She said the volunteers had been more than simply good at the work; they had been willing to devote their time to the projects.

“They came in without hesitation,” she said.

Boosters From Page 1 “We hope the board is not using the Open Meetings Act as a tool to ignore the issue we feel is hurting the relationship that is so important to our collective goal of providing the best possible experience for the students at PHS.” The club raises $40,000 to $50,000 a year, and “it is our goal and hope to remain active at PHS and continue to provide for our 19 athletic teams,” Fisher said in the statement.

Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

Missing From Page 1 With Ladd Police Department being as small as it is, Ramos said it could use all the help it can get in spreading the word on this case.

Dewey’s niece, Laurie Eich of Troy Grove, said her aunt took a vacation day from work at Riverfront Machine in Spring Valley on Monday. Dewey had talked with her son, Chris, at 5 a.m., which was a daily formality between the two.

At around 7 a.m., a friend of Dewey’s reportedly texted her and received a reply back, Eich said.

On Tuesday, Eich said Chris called his mother at 5 a.m. but the line went to voicemail.

“He didn’t think a lot about it. He thought maybe she’d been in the bathroom or something,” Eich said.

Chris went to work, but was called later in the day by his aunts wondering why his mother wasn’t at work. When Chris told them he hadn’t heard from his mother since Monday, they decided to meet at Dewey’s home to check-in.

When they got to the home, Dewey was nowhere to be found. The family did notice Dewey’s work clothes, cellphone charger and medication — items Dewey would not leave behind — there at the home.

From there, the family called Ladd Police to file a missing persons report.

Upon the officers’ investigation at Dewey’s home, a neighbor, who is a truck driver, told police Dewey had not been home all Monday night.

“Right from the beginning police assumed she had planned this,” Eich said. “We’ve never believed she planned it. Now, with the state police involved, I think they’re coming around to our thinking.”

Eich said she and the rest of their family are convinced Dewey would not leave intentionally.

“She’s a creature of habit. She does the same thing at the same time every day. She doesn’t like driving anywhere. She won’t drive at night. She’s a very responsible person.

She would not miss work without letting someone know. She checks in with her son all the time. We just don’t feel like she

Booster club statement to the board Following is the complete statement Kelley Fisher, vice president and public relations officer of Princeton Tigers Athletic Booster Club, read at Wednesday’s high school board meeting: “Over the last couple years, we have experienced many challenges, and have made some changes on how the Princeton Tiger Athletic Booster Club wants to move forward in the 2016-17 school year.

We were advised this afternoon we could not discuss the contents of a letter we had sent to the board. Furthermore, it is our understanding that the board is citing the Open Meetings Act that allows, but does not require, the board to exclude certain types of discussion in open session.

would ever do this to him,” she said.

Eich also noted Dewey always avoided driving main highways like Interstate 80 and Interstate 39.

“She always stayed off on the side roads,” she said.

Eich said until police have an idea where Dewey’s vehicle is located, they won’t

Having received and read over our letter, you are now aware we have concerns we feel need to be addressed that weren’t previously addressed by the PHS administration. We are asking to be heard and allowed to discuss our concerns in an executive session.

We hope the board is not using the Open Meetings Act as a tool to ignore the issue we feel is hurting the relationship that is so important to our collective goal of providing the best possible experience for the students at PHS. We are a group of parents with full-time jobs volunteering endless hours for PHS. We are extremely passionate about this club, and beyond proud of what we have been able to give back to the 19 athletic teams.

authorize a ground search.

“Because her car is missing and until they can find the car, they won’t authorize a search, which we understand but are very frustrated about,” she said.

The family has been left to search on their own.

Eich said flyers are being passed around with Dew-

ey’s photo and information.

Dewey’s family has also used Facebook as a tool to spread the word. Eich said many people have come forward to volunteer their assistance with the search and others have offered their drones to help cover more ground.

Many, many times we have gone above and beyond just the purchasing of uniforms and equipment. It is our goal and hope to remain active at PHS and continue to provide for our 19 athletic teams.

Usually we raise around $40,000 to $50,000 a year. What we do, we do for our children and for our athletes. There are several fundraisers we need to do to continue with our successful giving back to PHS. And we would like to get these issues resolved and get back to a healthy relationship with everyone.

In closing, we want you to know our only motivation is to create an environment where everyone involved can work together to accomplish much more than we can individually.”

Eich said it’s the family’s belief that Dewey was either in an accident and her vehicle went off the road somewhere and can’t be seen, or someone took her.

“At this point we don’t care what happened. We just want her back,” she said.

Tentative PES budget approved Board set to approve final figures on Sept. 26

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton Elementary School District Board gave preliminary approval Monday to a budget that projects about $13.3 million in revenue, but nearly $15 million in expenses for fiscal year 2016-17.

To balance those figures, about $1.7 million will be transferred from the working cash fund to the general education fund, from which most expenses, such as salaries and benefits, are paid.

If the transfer is authorized, no programs or personnel cuts will be required.

That will leave $457,000 in working cash, a reserve fund specifically used to cover the district’s other three operating funds – education, transportation and building. It will be replenished through the regular bonding process, Superintendent Tim Smith said.

His expense estimates are pretty solid, but his revenue estimates were conservative, and so he’ll be tweaking those numbers over the next month, Smith said.

The state still owes the district about $242,000, he said.

Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

Up for review The proposed 2016-17 Princeton Elementary School District budget is available for review at www.princeton115schools.org until 5:15 p.m. Sept. 26, when a hearing on the budget will be held.

The board will vote to finalize the budget at its regular meeting that follows at 5:30 p.m. at Logan Junior High School.

Publisher

Editor

The bell has rung In this job, I get to visit a lot of schools. I like that.

The sights, sounds and smells of our institutions of education in this area tend to take me back in time, ... a lot of time, when this old girl was a student and typing columns on a computer at a newspaper wasn’t even in Terri the cards.

Simon They were days of innocence — times COMMENTARY when the worries of the world never crossed our minds, and the biggest problems were in our math books.

They were moments filled with best friends and laughter, shy looks at the cute boy across the room, and playground games where I don’t remember winners or losers.

To say I received a great education in Princeton would clearly be an understatement. I knew the As I brought home had been earned, and the adults in those hallways really cared about helping me learn.

I was really fortunate because school, as they say, ... came easy for me, ... but my teachers continued to give me work they knew would challenge me.

Every now and then when I’m inside an area school, I take a few moments and close my eyes, ... and the memories flood my mind. They still cause a host of heartfelt emotions. While we all have a few memories from our school days that still cause us to wince, the happy recollections clearly outweigh anything negative.

I think it’s ironic today’s schools specialize in being progressive, however, there are some basic things in those same classrooms and hallways that haven’t changed a bit. While the lessons today are different — keyboarding, technology, computers, etc. — what I’ve been fortunate to witness in the schools I visit are many things that have stood the test of time.

You see, when I first walk in a school today, the first thing that hits me is the smell. A mixture of sweaty kids, teachers’ perfume, the hot lunch coming from the school cafeteria are the first things I notice. In the classrooms, a mixture of scents take me back many years, like the unmistakable smells of Elmer’s Glue and Crayola Crayons, freshly-sharpened pencils with worn-down erasers, and textbooks that own that unforgettable scent of many years of use.

With my eyes still closed, the sounds I hear are no different than when I was in school. Teachers’ voices echo into the hallways. I hear children laughing, singing, talking. The school bells haven’t changed a bit.

On the playground, ... oh, the wonderful playground, ... recess is in full swing, and the shouts and squeals take me back to a time when the biggest worry was if you got one of the swings at recess and how many kids were playing on the monkey bars.

Even though much has changed, the sights I see inside the school are reminiscent of days gone by.

Students’ artwork hanging in the hallways, inspirational messages crafted on bulletin boards, classrooms decorated in the brightest colors — fun items that you didn’t even realize were educational. The desks are arranged in a variety of rows and/or circles, and the lockers are lined up like metal soldiers with names clearly marked on many of them. While children and teachers dress more casually than when I was in school, their eyes tell the story better than I can on this newspaper page.

I guess my point to all of this is I’m glad our schools/ administration/teachers are progressive, however, I’m thankful there are still many elements in our local schools that have stood the test of time. Some of those things are small and probably relatively unimportant, however, those little things have a way of staying with us for a lifetime, ... just like a good education.

As those first school bells ring in Bureau County, I wish all of you a great school year. While finances are always an issue for schools, I have no doubt the hallways of education in this area are some of the best in the nation, and we should be proud of our traditional yet progressive attributes inside those facilities.

Through the uprights ... almost Greg Wallace COMMENTARY It’s funny how the brain works, or doesn’t work in some cases. It’s weird how it seems to pick and choose, willy-nilly, what to remember and what to throw to the curb.

For me, I can never remember whether or not a straight beats a three-of-a-kind, and if you ask at the poker table, in the middle of a hand, your buddies will end up with all your money. I can’t remember something as simple as that, but I know that Alan Hale Jr. portrayed the part of Jonas Grumby, the Skipper of the ill-fated SS Minnow on Gilligan’s Island. (Gilligan’s first name was reported to be Willy, but was never used on the show.) Yeah, that’s the kind of stuff that I remember.

Here’s another example of what I’m talking about. Just the other day, I needed to supply my Social Security number on a form. I’ve only written that number down thousands of times in my life, but for some strange reason, it just didn’t look right on that particular day. I wrote it down, stared at it, and debated on whether or not I had numbers in the right order. I thought I was losing my mind. It ended up that I was right, but it was kind of freaky.

And then, later that same day, I just happened to look down and see the high school football sports preview section from the newspaper laying on the table. I breezed through it, read some things here and there, but mostly looked at the pictures. Some things never change.

I started reminiscing about my old high school football days. For some strange reason, I thought about one particular moment from a practice my sophomore year. This would have been from September or October of 1981, but I could picture it like it was yesterday. Unfortunately, I have convinced myself that I remember quite a bit of stuff that never happened, but I’m pretty sure on this one.

Before I tell you this tale, I feel the need to inform you that our football team used a rubber ball instead of leather when we were on offense. The reason being that in wet weather, the rubber ball would not change in weight where the leather ball that everyone else used would get heavier. It made things

more consistent and easier for the quarterback. Quarterbacks are such wussies. I was a wide receiver and I didn’t mind the rubber ball, but I just remember how hard the point of the ball was when you caught it against your body or it hit your fingers just right. (I guess wide receivers can be wussies too.)

Now I can get on with the story. It was a Thursday afternoon, the last practice before a Friday night game.

We went without football pads on those days, and usually just went over the scouting report and ran through some basic plays just to get everyone on the same page without getting anyone hurt.

The last thing we did was practice kicking field goals and extra points.

On this particular day, another guy and I were picked to chase down the kicks as the varsity kicking team went through the motions. Basically, the center, the holder and the kicker were the only ones who did anything. The rest of the linemen would simulate a block and relax while the kicker kicked. Pretty basic, boring, non-funny stuff.

My buddy and I were standing in position to get the football after it was kicked. From our point of view, we could see all of the linemen, the top of the holder’s head and the kicker. We could see the holder flex his hands which was the signal for the center to hike the ball. We could see the holder catch the ball and set it down. We could see the kicker begin his motion. We could hear the rubber football being kicked. We saw the kicker’s leg follow through.

We saw the linemen simulate their

blocks. We saw it all. Except for one thing. The ball. It was nowhere to be seen.

As most of the linemen stood up from their three-point stances, we noticed that one did not. The offensive guard on the left side didn’t stand up. In fact, his hands went immediately to grip his butt. Making strange noises, he then fell forward onto the top of his helmet.

And there it was, that hard-pointed, brown, white-striped rubber football manufactured by the Mikasa corporation, was lodged squarely and firmly between the backside of the lineman’s upper thighs. He looked like an upside-down chicken in the middle of childbirth.

Speaking of the kicker, by now he was rolling on the ground laughing, along with the holder, the coaching staff, the rest of the team and anyone else who witnessed the scene.

The only guy not giggling uncontrollably was the poor guy who “caught” the ball. He was just laying on the ground making high-pitched whimpering noises that could only be heard by dogs.

So I hope all you youngsters out there have learned something from this tale. Thirty-five years from now, when you’re struggling, trying to remember your Social Security number, it’s not as bad as getting kicked square in the ... well, you know.

The one thing that I learned from this whole situation — always go for two.

What We Think

Limit legislative leaders’ terms By the Sauk Valley Media Editorial Board

We’re not necessarily fans of term limits for elected public servants.

After all, isn’t that what elections are for?

If you don’t like the job that an elected official is doing, join with enough other like-minded voters at the next election and throw that person out of office.

The problem is, sometimes conditions, either by happenstance or design, are such that the same people keep getting elected, over and over, to the detriment of the public.

Illinois doesn’t have term limits for constitutional officers or the Legislature. It also doesn’t have a ban on gerrymandering of legislative districts, which has allowed powerful politicians to become entrenched and obstructive to good public policy.

That brings us to the present state of affairs: an essentially bankrupt state government, a Legislature controlled

by Democrats for years, and a House speaker, Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, who uses the system that he

helped to create (he was a delegate to the 1970 Constitutional Convention) to stay in power as long as he wishes.

Madigan, 74, who has served in the House since 1971, has been speaker for more than 31 years.

He’s been chairman of the Illinois Democratic Party for 18 years.

Holding those combined positions, he’s accumulated vast power to pass – or block – legislation, and to reward – or retaliate against – fellow politicians.

Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, has been Senate president only since 2009, but he’s been in the Legislature since 1979 and, as a friend and colleague of Madigan’s, is another of those leaders where the adage, “If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem,” applies.

If leaders like Madigan and Cullerton had been effective in resolving Illinois’ numerous problems, there would be no clamor for change.

But they too often put politics above policy, which prompts us to

call for term limits for House and Senate leaders. Like the U.S. president, they should serve only 8 years as top leaders in their respective chambers before being required to step aside and rejoin the rank and file.

Because the current legislative leadership, year after year after year, has failed to successfully address Illinois’ severe financial problems, pension reform, and other difficulties, and because they are protected from voter retaliation on Election Day and dismissal from their leadership roles by friendly fellow legislators, the situation has gotten ridiculous.

It’s high time that reforms be enacted.

If not now, when?

The Democratic-controlled Legislature will ignore the idea unless the public demands it loudly enough.

If lawmakers start feeling the heat, something positive could happen.

And voters could make it plenty hot for legislative candidates as Campaign 2016 rolls on toward Election Day.

Births Announced Pennell

VITAS representative will address Walnut Rotary WALNUT — A representative of VITAS Healthcare will address the Walnut Rotary Club at its weekly meeting at the Walnut Café on Wednesday, Aug. 31.

VITAS Healthcare is a leader in providing hospice care services in homes throughout Peoria, LaSalle and the Greater Illinois Valley. VITAS staff and volunteers help patients stay home and in Peoria, LaSalle and the Greater Illinois Valley area when-

ever possible — whether home is a private residence, an assisted living or long term care facility, or even a hospital room. Additionally, Intensive Comfort Care teams work in shifts when a patient’s symptoms need round-the-clock attention, thus keeping the patient comfortably at home.

VITAS inpatient units offer the benefits of home in a facility setting when home care is not enough, or

when the family/caregiver must be away for several days and nights.

The meeting is open to members of the public who may need, or know of someone who needs, hospice or palliative care.

The Rotary Club of Walnut meets six times a month at the Walnut Café.

Anyone interested in joining Rotary International should contact Walnut Club President Charlie Gonigam at cgonigam1950@gmail.com.

From the cattle barn to the world Regional, national competitions provide opportunity to hone skills that will help on the farm, and in life Jessica Carlson COMMENTARY There is way more to showing cattle than what meets the eye. Yes, of course, you have your typical cattle show, but there is way more to it. In fact, there are many skills that I have learned through the competitions that I competed in at the different shows I have attended.

Showing cattle has been a pretty large part of my life. I have shown cattle for seven years, and in those seven years I have shown in some pretty large shows. So far I have attended four American Junior Simmental Association National Classics and two regional classics.

These shows have given me opportunities to be in competitions that have helped me inside and outside of the cattle barn.

In one of my previous articles, I discussed what contests I compete in at these events and what I am required to do for

“ Since I started attending regionals and nationals in 2011, I have noticed a large improvement in my speaking skill. I have learned to speak more clearly, articulate, control my presentation speed and to have confidence in what I am saying and doing.”

Jessica Carlson each contest. To refresh your memory a little bit, I have the opportunity to compete in four different educational competitions: Public Speaking, Cattlemen’s Quiz, Sales Talk, and Judging Contest. To show my cattle in the cattle show, I have to compete in three of the four educational contests and also showmanship.

At nationals there are three age divisions: Junior, Intermediate and Senior. At regionals there are two age divisions: Junior and Senior. At nationals they place a Top 20 in each age division for each competition and a Top 20 overall, while at regionals they place a Top 10 in each age division in each competition and a Top 10 overall. These competitions give me way more than just the opportunity to place in the Top 10 or 20, they also help

me improve the skills that I use every day.

The biggest thing these competitions help with is public speaking, because I have to use it in three out of the four competitions. Since I started attending regionals and nationals in 2011, I have noticed a large improvement in my speaking skill. Through these competitions I have learned to speak more clearly, articulate, control my presentation speed and to have confidence in what I am saying and doing.

Public speaking is a skill that I have to use every day whether I am at school, with my friends or at a cattle show. The skills that I have gained through these competitions have not only helped me win awards at nationals and regionals, but also in school, FFA and in both the county and state levels of

4-H, plus they have helped me be successful on presentations at school.

In addition to public speaking skills, I have also gained much knowledge from preparing for the competitions. The material I have studied for the cattlemen’s quiz has taught me a lot of information that has come in handy in the cattle barn, and also occasionally in science class. And some of the topics I have had to give speeches on have widened my knowledge of the cattle industry. Plus preparing a set of oral reasons on a class of cattle, or writing a speech in 30 minutes has helped me learn to stay calm under pressure, utilize the resources I am given and to work efficiently. Sales talk has also given me an early start at salesmanship and marketing abilities that will come in handy

in the future. The showmanship skills that I have gained at these events have helped me become a better showmen, and that has paid off.

As my 2016 show season draws to a close this week at the Bureau County Fair, I look back on my accomplishments this season and I am not disappointed. Altogether I have attended five shows. One of those being the record-breaking AJSA National Classic in Des Moines, Iowa, where I placed 13th in both intermediate cattlemen’s quiz and public speaking. I also had a very successful 4-H fair, having both Grand Champion Steer and Grand Champion Heifer.

I would also like to take a moment to congratulate all of my fellow showmen. All of the hard work we put in is overlooked by many people, and even though it might not seem like it sometimes, all of the hard work is truly worth it. I can honestly say, in these past seven years, I have come a long way, and I am looking forward to going even further in the years yet to come.

Program connects U.S. soybean farmers to breadth of industry See for Yourself program offers in-depth look at soy checkoff

Shaw Media photo/ Alex T. Paschal

ST. LOUIS – The U.S. soybean industry is a multi-faceted, global business, and 10 U.S. soybean farmers just got a closer look at how their soy checkoff works in that marketplace to all U.S. soybean farmers’ benefit. Sponsored by the United Soybean Board’s Audit and Evaluation (A&E) Committee, the See for Yourself program connected these farmers with their checkoff investment, providing transparency into the soy checkoff and allowing farmers to find out more about the many end uses for U.S. soy.

“The See for Yourself program was an eye-opening experience,” said Sam Showalter, an Iowa soybean farmer and See for Yourself participant. “To see how the checkoff works around the world and how the world looks up to us for some of our practices was incredible.”

The program concluded in August in Costa Rica, a country that imported 100 percent of its soy from the United States in the 2014-15 marketing year, a true checkoff success story.

Participants heard from INOLASA, the sole soybean-crushing plant in Central America. The checkoff, through the United States Soybean Export Council (USSEC), partnered with INOLASA to increase U.S. soybean consumption in Costa Rica, taking it from 33 percent of its imports in 2014 to 100 percent in 2015.

While in Costa Rica, the participants also learned about the soy-fed fish industry from Martec Industries, a company dedicated to the production, processing and marketing of seafood, especially red snapper. The checkoff invests in marketing and promotion of soy in fish feed and helped Martec incorporate soybean meal into its rations. The fish are raised in cages in the Pacific Ocean, and their feed includes roughly 18 percent soy, all of which comes from the U.S.

The program also made stops in St. Louis and Panama. In St. Louis at the USB headquarters, participants learned more about the checkoff’s work to maximize farmer profit opportunities through investments in infrastructure research, new industrial uses and high oleic soybeans. The checkoff is focused on key strategies around soybean oil, meal and sustainability – ensuring U.S. soybean farmers remain competitive in the future.

Infrastructure discussions continued as the participants went through the newly-expanded Panama Canal. The canal’s recent expansion doubled the waterway’s capacity, helping to ship U.S. soy to foreign markets faster. Foreign soy buyers often pay as much attention to the timeliness of deliveries as they do the price, so the canal’s expansion increased U.S. soy’s competitiveness on the global scale.

“It’s incredible the amount of soybeans that move through the canal and the time saved because of this new expansion,” said Adam Hendricks, Kentucky soybean farmer and See for Yourself participant. “In discussing the Panama Canal, we learned that about 44 percent of our exported soybeans from the U.S. pass through the Panama Canal, so it plays an important role in meeting global demands.”

While they knew little of the checkoff’s role prior to the program, the farmer-participants dove right in to better understand the checkoff and the uses of soybeans around the world.

“The farmers on this program really got their eyes opened to what the soy checkoff does for them as a farmer and marketer of soybeans,” said Keith Tapp, Kentucky soybean farmer and A&E Committee chair. “In all of our locations, I think the participants saw a wide range of activities demonstrating how the checkoff works for them and all U.S. soybean farmers.”

Bureau County farmer directs donation to local 4-H club PRINCETON — Bureau County 4-H Club, Manlius Boys and Girls, has received a $2,500 donation from America’s Farmers Grow Communities, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund and directed by local farmer Leonard Vick of Thacker Farms.

The donation will help the Manlius Boys and Girls 4-H Club explore and participate in higher learning opportunities at the Fab Lab on the campus of the University of Illinois. They have also cho-

sen to host project workshop days locally, which will help youth build their skills while working with a skilled adult.

Bureau County 4-H Coordinator Sue Brooker with the University of Illinois Extension office will work with Manlius on the planning of the educational experiences. Vick, a 4-H alumni, selected the Manlius Boys and Girls to receive this donation because he values how 4-H impacts the lives of youth through project work and positive

adult mentorships.

For six years, America’s Farmers Grow Communities has collaborated with farmers to donate more than $22 million to more than 8,000 community organizations across rural America. Winning farmers will direct donations to non-profits to help fight rural hunger, purchase life-saving fire and EMS equipment, support ag youth leadership programs, buy much needed classroom resources, and so much more.

2016 Soccer Preview

DePue, Hall pitch in together for soccer co-op

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Hall wanted to give its kids an opportunity to play soccer. DePue had a need for some new players. Their new co-op arrangement is going to benefit both neighboring schools, DePue coach Tim Stevens said.

“The main thing that this co-op is going to do is increase the level of accountability and competition on the team,” Stevens said. “Hall is sending over about 13 kids. This will bring our total up to about 30 athletes in the program.

Most of them are underclassmen. This will give us depth as we look to build the team going forward.”

Stevens doesn’t anticipate any issues with having the Hall players mix into the program.

“Most of the kids look very skilled and ready to play,” he said. “It will be more about getting on the same page philosophically. The biggest challenge will be to try and coordinate between the two schools and managing a team of 30 athletes.

As far as the athletes themselves, I think they will mesh very quickly.”

DePue brings back senior David Moreno (23 goals), who was the BCR’s Co-player of the Year last year with graduated teammate Adrian Perez. Moreno is one of 11 upperclassmen in the coop including classmates Oscar Moreno and Johnathan Gallardo, and juniors Rafa Puga, Tony Morales, Manny Winfert, John Moore and Josh Alcala.

Stevens is filling in the ranks with 12 underclassmen — freshmen Bryan Fuentes, Daniel Moreno

and Calvin Schmollinger of Hall and Diego Madrigal of DePue, plus sophomores Erik Enriquez and Carlo Gutierrez of Hall, and Ivan Moreno, Marcus Winfert, Erik Perez, Daniel Lopez, Francisco Villagomez and Jose Garcia of DePue. The two neighbors will co-op in girls soccer as well next spring.

Princeton

Nine starters return in the Princeton Tiger camp, four where it counts the most — on defense, with senior Brent Loftus and juniors Cade Harrison, Nolan Hunt and Ryan Frank. There are only three seniors out, so it is a growing and improving Tiger team that will take the pitch this season.

“I believe we will see an improved soccer team this year. We are returning nine starters from last year’s team. Many of those athletes were sophomores last season and are now a year older and have a season of varsity soccer experience,” PHS coach David Gray said.

“These factors alone will make us better. The boys have also worked hard to improve in the offseason, taking advantage of opportunities to play and gain more experience.”

Offensive players to watch for the Tigers will be senior Kai Brown (M), and juniors Brett Schenck (F) and Juan Robledo (M).

Juniors Jayden Pinter, Nolan Frank and Josh Reinhardt also split starting duty last year at midfield.

The Tigers opened camp with one big question mark: Who would play

Tigresses’ loss is ‘frustrating’

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Andy Puck had one word to sum up Princeton’s showing in Thursday’s Three Rivers East opener against Prophetstown at Prouty Gym — frustrating.

The Tigresses fell in three sets 25-23, 20-25, 21-25 on a night they didn’t seem to be able to get anything going. Committing 12 service errors didn’t help.

“We know we’re a lot better team than what way we played. It’s a mental game and we got beat mentally.

It was between the ears tonight,” said Puck, the PHS coach. “I take credit for that. I thought my kids were ready to play. (They) Just had mental lapses, just too many mental lapses.

“We’re 0-2 for a team I think can be very good if we execute and stay focused. We just don’t focus very well.”

“We know we’re a lot better team than what way we played. It’s a mental game and we got beat mentally. It was between the ears tonight.”

Andy Puck • PHS coach The way the night went, Puck said the Tigresses were fortunate to win the first set. While they took control early, leading 8-2 and 11-7, the Tigresses found themselves looking up at an 18-12 deficit.

PHS chipped away, tying the set at 22 on a kill by senior Courtney Oeder. The Tigresses sided out to tie the game at 23, and Oeder finished off the PHS win with an ace.

The Tigresses carried very little

momentum over to the second set, quickly falling behind 6-2 and 9-3.

Oeder served up a pair of aces to help get the Tigresses back in the game. An ace by Anna Murray and a kill by Miranda Sorenson gave PHS a brief 13-12 lead.

Two straight service errors proved costly for the Tigresses, though another ace by Oeder gave them a 20-19 edge. Prophetstown sided out and ripped off the final five points, the last coming on a PHS hitting error.

Princeton again led late in the third set at 21-19, but a net serve and two hitting errors by the Tigresses set the Lady Prophets on the way to victory with the final six points of the match.

“We had chances to win, just didn’t take advantage of it. Prophetstown had a chance to put us away and they did.” Puck said. “They

We lucked out in that one. Give them a ton of credit. They came to play and we didn’t.”

Puck didn’t have much to say to his team after the match, other than “see you tomorrow.

“Sometimes less is more,” he said.

While Oeder finished with 15 kills, Anna Murray only had four kills. Puck said she’s got to get a lot more looks than that.

Illinois late-winter and special CWD deer hunting seasons counties announced for 2016-17 SPRINGFIELD – Illinois’ Late-Winter Antlerless-only Deer Hunting Season will be open in 24 counties, while the state’s Special CWD Deer Hunting Season will be open in 14 counties for 2016-17, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) announced.

The Late-Winter season provides additional hunting opportunities in counties with surplus deer, while the Special CWD season allows hunters to help combat the spread of chronic wasting disease in Illinois’ white-tailed deer herd.

Season dates for the split seven-day Late-Winter and Special CWD hunts will be Dec. 29, 2016-Jan. 1, 2017 and Jan. 13-15, 2017.

Counties open previously during the Late-Winter season

There is no change in the list of counties open for the Special CWD season in 2016-17.

IDNR biologists recommended the changes for the 2016-17 seasons following analyses of deer data including hunting harvest, deer-vehicle accidents, deer disease reports, and other factors.

Hunters in Illinois harvested 4,537 deer in 27 open counties during the Late-Winter season and 1,825 deer during the Special CWD season in 14 open counties in 2015-16. Hunters

ALPLM acquires papers of ‘Spoon River’ poet SPRINGFIELD – The Edgar Lee Masters Home and Museum has given the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum (ALPLM) a trove of documents, manuscripts and photographs related to the famed author of “Spoon River Anthology.”

The donation was formally presented Tuesday, Aug. 23, Masters’ birthday. It represents a major expansion of the ALPLM’s holdings related to the prairie poets – Masters, Carl Sandburg and Vachel Lindsay.

“We’re best known for our Lincoln collection, of course, but the presidential library also contains millions of items documenting

200 years of Illinois history,” said Alan Lowe, executive director of the ALPLM. “We’re honored to improve our Illinois collection with the addition of these papers and photos from an important Illinois author.”

Masters Home and Museum President Kathy Olesen and board member Bobbie Lipsky said the collection is being donated because the presidential library can ensure it is preserved and shared with more people. Other Masters documents and artifacts remain at the museum, located at the corner of 8th and Jackson in Petersburg, Ill. “This is only the beginning of a new partnership between the

Masters House Museum and the ALPLM that will continue as new items arrive,” Olesen and Lipsky said.

Masters grew up in Petersburg and Lewistown in central Illinois.

The people and places he knew there became fodder for “Spoon River Anthology,” which used fictional epitaphs to tell the often dark stories of a small town.

Masters published many other volumes of poetry and essays, as well as several biographies. One biography, “Lincoln: The Man,” was harshly critical of the 16th president.

Papers From Page 24 “Given his central Illinois roots, I trust that Mr. Masters would be thrilled by having this collection of papers housed at what was once the Illinois State Historical Library. He admired the institution and donated several personal items in his lifetime,” said Ian Hunt, the presidential library’s chief of acquisitions and research.

One of those earlier donations, a death mask of Masters’ father, will be included in a new ALPLM exhibit this fall. The historical library, which began documenting the state’s heritage in 1889, became a part of the Lincoln Presidential Library in 2004.

The new donation includes hundreds of items: an 1834 letter by Masters’ grandfather, pictures of

his family, complaints about his declining finances and much more.

ALPLM staff will catalog the contents over the next few months, giving scholars a better sense of what information awaits their study.

One such scholar is Jason Stacy, a history professor at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, who is beginning a research project on Masters and the Midwest.

“This is a major acquisition for the ALPLM, coming as it does on the heels of the 100th anniversary of the publication of ‘Spoon River Anthology.’ Lately, there has been renewed interested in Midwestern history and culture,” Stacy said. “This collection will encourage scholars to revisit Edgar Lee Masters as a Midwestern poet whose work was profoundly shaped by the region Lincoln loved.”

SHOWS SEPTEMBER 16 & 17

SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois Job Honor Awards is accepting nominations for its first annual awards event, to be conducted Nov. 30, in Lisle. The awards will celebrate Illinoisans who have overcome significant barriers to employment and the employers who hire them.

Founded in Iowa in 2014, the awards are spreading nationwide under the banner of America’s Job Honor Awards. Previous honorees have overcome physical and mental disabilities, criminal convictions, limited English proficiency and long-term unemployment in their struggle for employment.

“Our society celebrates lottery winners, movie stars and professional athletes,” notes founder Kyle Horn. “We rarely hear inspiring stories of individuals whose lives are trans-

formed through the hard work and perseverance that leads to meaningful employment.

It’s time for a new kind of hero.”

The first Illinois Job Honor Awards will be presented in partnership with the Illinois Chamber of Commerce and Illinois State Council for the Society for Human Resource Management (ILSHRM) at their annual New Laws Forum at the Hilton Lisle/Naperville hotel in Lisle.

Top employee honorees will bring home $500 each, and winners in both the employee and employer categories will receive engraved crystal awards. Biographical videos will be presented for all honorees.

Nominations are invited through the organization’s website, www.JobHonor.org, before the Sept. 16 deadline.

State announces Sept. 1 start of low income energy assistance program enrollment LIHEAP, PIPP applications available for seniors, people with disabilities beginning Sept. 1 SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity’s Office of Energy Assistance has announced the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) will begin

accepting applications for winter heating assistance for seniors and people with disabilities beginning Sept. 1.

LIHEAP and the Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP) program are funded as part of the stop-

gap funding plan signed into law by Gov. Bruce Rauner.

LIHEAP is a state and federally funded energy assistance program for low-income families, in which heating bill payments are made on behalf of households. Applications are processed through a network of 35 local administering agencies around the state.

These agencies will begin

accepting applications on a first-come, first-served basis from the elderly and people with disabilities starting on Sept. 1.

Clients must bring all required documentation when applying for assistance including: • Proof of gross income from all household members for the 30-day income period beginning with the date of the application.

• A copy of their current heat and electric bills issued within the last 30 days (if they pay for their energy directly).

• A copy of their rental agreement (if they are renting) showing that utilities are included, the monthly rental amount and landlord contact information.

• Proof of Social Security numbers for all household members.

• Proof that their household received Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF); Aid to the Aged, Blind, or Disabled (AABD); or other benefits, such as Medical Eligibility or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), if receiving assistance from the Illinois Department of Human Services.
