Health department issues warning Bureau County horse diagnosed with West Nile

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department has issued a health warning that the local region is at an increase risk for West Nile Virus activity after a horse in eastern Bureau County was diagnosed this week with the disease.

On Friday, health department administrator Diana Rawlings confirmed the diagnosis and said the horse had to be put down. The diagnoses of the animal has placed the entire area at an increase risk for human cases, she said.

Residents are urged to use insect repellent, even if they do not see mosquitoes, Rawlings said.

Other precautions include reducing exposure to mosquitoes by avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are most active, especially between dusk and dawn; repelling mosquitoes by wearing shoes, socks, long pants and long-sleeved shirts when outdoors, in addition to insect repellent; and reporting areas of stagnant water to local health or municipal officials.

PERU — A regional effort is needed to create jobs in the Illinois Valley area.

That was the message given Thursday at a meeting of leaders of businesses, cities, industrial companies and financial institutions held at St. Bede Academy.

The meeting’s purpose was to identify all possibilities to revitalize the Illinois Valley region and to establish jobs for the geographic area, just a little beyond the boundaries of Illinois Valley Community College.

Everett Solon, president of Centrue Bank, acted as chairman of the meeting. He said about eight people gathered in January to discuss the region’s economy and what needs to be done to create jobs.

“We felt at that meeting we had a problem of maintaining young people in our communities, mainly because of not enough good-paying jobs,” said Solon. “Our goal is to assist local economic development area serviced by IVCC, an area that has about 150,000 people.”

Solon said it is better to market the area, not individual communities. LaSalle, Putnam and Bureau counties have a good, quality workforce; good educational system and quality health care, reported Solon.

“We need to capitalize on those assets,” he said. “We spend about $10,000 a year on each student going through our schools. We graduate about 2,000 seniors a year and have spent $260 million on their education.”

Solon said there needs to be a push to keep those graduates in the area because businesses are spending that money on their education and not getting their investment of tax dollars back if they leave the area for betterpaying jobs elsewhere.

The Bureau County labor force is represented by LCN Closers employee Ron Thompson, shown Friday morning at a centerless grinder in the Princeton factory workplace. LCN Closers, a division of Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies, was showcased last month on the nationally syndicated television series, “Manufacturing Marvels,” on the Fox Business Network. Workers around the United States will be recognized Monday as the country celebrates Labor Day.

Celebrating Labor Day Then ... and now

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, at least 155.7 million people have a reason to observe Monday as Labor Day. Based on May 2013 statistics, 155.7 million is the number of people ages 16 years and older who are in the nation’s labor force.

The first observance of Labor Day was credited to a group of 10,000 workers who assembled for a parade on Sept. 5, 1882, in New York City. Within two years, more than half the states were observing some type of “workingman’s holiday,” but on a variety of

days. On June 29, 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed a bill designating the first Monday in September as Labor Day. In those early years, the labor force in the United States looked quite a bit different from today’s labor force.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Top 10 largest occupations in May 2012 were as follows: Retail salespeople at 4.3 million; cashiers, 3.3 million; combined food preparation and serving workers, including fast food, 2.9 million; office clerks, general, at 2.8 million; and registered nurses, at 2.6 million.

Rounding out the Top 10 largest occupations in May 2012 were waiters and waitresses, at 2.3 million; customer service representatives, 2.2 million; laborers and

freight, stock and material movers, 2.1 million; janitors and cleaners (excluding maids and housekeeping cleaners) 2 million; secretaries and administrative assistants (excluding legal, medical and executive), 2 million.

In comparison, the labor force in 1910 focused more heavily on the agriculture and industries.

The Top 10 largest occupations in 1910 were farmers (owners and tenants), at 6.1 million; laborers, wageworkers, 2.8 million; laborers, unpaid family workers, 2.5 million; operative and kindred workers, manufacturing, 2.3 million; and laborers, non-manufacturing industries, 2.2 million.

Lauritzen covering all the bases 40 years of Little League history under his belt

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON – Max Lauritzen of Princeton has devoted 40 years of his life to Little League baseball.

He is one of the few who have experienced the program from all angles, whether it was through coaching, umpiring, directing, serving as a board member or being the longtime assistant director administrator for District 20, Lauritzen has seen it all.

“I just kept on going and going,” he said. “I enjoy every minute of it. I enjoy the kids. The kid are the only part, the heck with parents,” he said. “Baseball would be a great time if it weren’t for the parents.”

Max Lauritzen The game has always held a special place in Lauritzen’s heart. He remembers being a kid and gathering with friends for a good game.

“Back then you didn’t have to be good; everybody had a chance to play,” he said. “I remember living at one end of town, getting on my bike with a bag of ball and bats and you’d play with whoever was

down there,” he said. “You don’t do that anymore that much.”

The way Lauritzen sees it, kids learn more than just the sport when participating in Little League.

“They learn the respect of others, to respect authority, self confidence, safety ... It’s just a good program,” he said.

In 2010, Lauritzen got the surprise of his life when he

During season time, he’s known to spend anywhere from 10 to 15 hours a day, working on the websites.

“It’s all for the kids,” he said. “When the season is all over, I’m rejuvenated and ready to go another year.”

“I owe it all to my wife and family for letting me do this and taking the time do to it all,” he said.

Meeting halfway in Dalzell Communication promised between village and fire department

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

DALZELL – Communication is said to be the key to every situation. With that, a special meeting was held in Dalzell on Wednesday to help two village departments grasp that proverbial key in hopes of solving friction between community members, misunderstandings of village ordinances and “bashing” village officials on public forum websites.

The Dalzell Village Board’s Water and Sewer Committee met with the Dalzell Fire Protection District to ask for better communication before the fire department hosts future training sessions. With better communication, the village could prepare beforehand by filling the village’s water wells to prevent the draining of water supply.

Also, the village board could better communicate with concerned residents who are unaware of the fire department’s activities.

The past miscommunication of training sessions have led to limited water supply in the village, neighborhoods filled with smoke on a no burning day and the school’s parking lot facing potential damage after a resurfacing job.

Village board trustee Gary Orlandi expressed frustrations caused when the fire department doesn’t notify the village board of a training session.

“If I get 15 calls at 11 p.m. at night because people have lost their laundry to dirty water and people having to empty their swimming pools to dirty water, I’ve got no way to explain to them why it happened,” he said. “If you want to run heavy amounts of water, you should contact the sewer and water department to make sure we’re ready to go.”

Orlandi reassured the board has no problem with the fire department using water for training.

“We want you to be safe; we want you to get your training; we do appreciate what goes on here; but we need communication,” he said. “We’re elected by the people, and the people come to us for the answers.

So when you guys are doing something we don’t know about and we have to chase the smoke to find you to figure out what’s going on, the people are crazy.”

Village President Gloria Orlandi said when the fire department drains the village’s water supply, it becomes a great concern there won’t be enough water to fight a real fire, if it was to ever happen during a training session.

“We understand you have to practice, but there’s also one more important thing you have to do, and that is you have to communicate with us. We will meet you halfway, but you better come the other half,” she said.

Village board member Randy Bernabei explained the village’s water reservoir and tower together only hold about 160,000 gallons at a time, and the village uses 55,000 gallons a day for regular usage.

“We don’t have the water capabilities of other towns,” he said. “Simple as that.”

Village board member Shawn Thompson expressed disappointment in seeing the board being “bashed” on Facebook.

“You have no clue the phone calls we get and the butt chewings we are receiving. You may think it’s a joke, but when they’re calling … it gets a little ridiculous. I know you have got to train, but we’re asking you to look at the other side of the card,” he said. “I’m assuming no one on the fire department is receiving these phone calls at 11 p.m. or 12 a.m. wondering why they just had to throw away a washer full of clothes because their washer is full of mud or who is going to pay for my washing machine if it won’t work. or why am I going to have to pay so many X number of dollars to refill my swimming pool because it looks like the Vermilion River.

Maybe that’s the side of it you guys just don’t see.”

Dalzell Fire Chief Dick Croissant explained the fire department doesn’t use as much water as what others may have thought. He said the village’s water pumps are also always recharging, which helps the water source recover faster after a drill. He admitted, however,

the fire department didn’t notify the local school before it used its parking, but assumed it would be OK, since the fire department trained there in the past with no problem.

Christina Croissant, who is in charge of the fire department’s public relations, said training dates have been posted beforehand and messages have been sent out in residents’ water bills. Gloria Orlandi asked that she notify the Water Committee members personally, because not every resident reads the water bill messages.

Assistant Fire Chief Rich Croissant took the blame for scheduling a burning training session on a day when burning isn’t allowed in the village and admitted he had forgotten about the no burning ordinance.

He also clarified with the department being a member of a Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS), it can call other local fire departments during an emergency who would bring in several gallons of needed water to help fight a fire. Croissant also provided board members with a schedule of meeting and training dates, which will be posted on the outside of the fire department building for the public.

The Water and Sewer Committee was happy to hear from the fire department and was enthused with the respectful communication between departments.

PES recalls staff District to host anti-bullying program for the community

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON – The Princeton Elementary School Board has recalled 17 non-certified staff in the Early Childhood Program and special education department At this week’s meeting, the board unanimously approved the recall of Janet Becker, as the Bright Beginnings parent coordinator; Mary D’Ambrosio, Bright Beginnings secretary per grant; Barb Metzger, Bright Beginnings parent coordinator per grant; Lynn Ferrell and Marcia Caldwell, Early Beginnings parent educators per grant; Shelley Colton, Jane Yarrington, Tracey Newberry and Holly Wright, Bright Beginnings aides.

The board also recalled non-certified staff Tori Suarez, Paula Ward, Jennifer Wagner, Tabetha Morton, Helen Rodrig, Dawn Mall, Jeanna Smith, and Doug Sopher, special education aides.

In other personnel action, the board hired non-certified staff Kristin Valley and Rita May as special education aides.

The board also accepted the resignations of Mary Beth Crowe, Lisa Sprouse, Sheila Krohn, Cindy Rodefer and Joleen Freeman, special education aides.

Commenting on the personnel action, Superintendent Tim Smith said the recall action was the result of a Reduction in Force action taken in March by the board due to unknown funding for the new school year. The district has recently received confirmation its Early Childhood Block Grant program will

receive state funding for the current school year.

Smith said the district had nine resignations in the last two weeks, which meant those people were able to find other jobs and also allowed the school district to recall other staff which would not have been recalled without the resignations. It’s a win/win situation for many people, he said.

Also at Monday’s meeting, Logan Junior High School Principal J.D. Orwig announced Logan will host “Rachel’s Challenge” on Sept. 18 at the school for not just students, but also for the entire community.

“Rachel’s Challenge” is a nationally-known, antibullying program inspired by student Rachel Scott who was killed in the Columbine, Colo., shootings in 1999. The premise behind “Rachel’s Challenge” is to accentuate random acts of kindness instead of bullying, as shown through Rachel Scott’s life, Orwig said.

“Rachel’s Challenge” will take many forms when it comes to Princeton, Orwig said. The Logan student body will have a 60-minute school assembly, with Reagan Middle School students coming to Logan for a 40-minute assembly.

There will be a 90-minute anti-bullying training with 30 to 50 Logan students.

There will also be an evening program for parents and the community.

Orwig said he and others from PES attended a “Rachel’s Challenge” assembly a couple years ago and found it to be a very powerful experience.

Bringing “Rachel’s Challenge” to Princeton is a costly endeavor, but one that is well worth it, he said.

Meeting From Page 1 Peter Limberger, an entrepreneur and husband of Inga Carus of Carus Corporation of Peru, told people assembled that he has started new businesses and bought existing companies around the world during his career.

He said many communities try to attract one business employing 1,000 people, which rarely happens. He suggested it would be better for communities to financially help entrepreneurs create 100 companies employing two to five people each, a method that is more stable than attracting larger companies.

Limberger said that if 2 percent of the students in the area are aided in starting new businesses, that would mean the creation of 500 jobs.

“Any kind of business means higher quality of services and better downtown areas by encouraging new and unusual ideas from the younger generation,” he said.

“Young people want to go places at night if they live here, and that means having nice restaurants, art galleries and concerts.”

He said this can be accomplished by simply helping starving artists find a place to display their artwork.

Two million tourists come to this area each year and spent their money. Limberger said there needs to be an effort to attract more tourists and help them leave the expensive suburbs and live in this area.

He suggested starting a $1 million

Jack Schultz, author of “Boomtown USA”, was one of the speakers at Thursday’s meeting to set up a regional economic development program. incubator program in the Illinois Valley area to help young entrepreneurs create businesses and jobs.

Limberger said he and his wife will be the first to donate funds to start this program. He felt he needed 20 to 40 investors in the program to reach its $1 million goal.

Limberger said the region needs higher paying jobs even though

In fact, studies show that only 5 to 7 percent of people have built up any immunity to the disease, which means 93 to 95 percent of people have not, Rawlings said.

Also, people should realize that more and more people are entering into the high risk level, of age 50 years and older, for West Nile Virus as the

he wouldn’t turn down companies creating minimum-wage jobs, but prefers those businesses paying higher wages to help the region’s standard of living.

Jack Rooney of Springfield, a native of Cherry, said the Illinois Valley area has a rich personality and culture unlike any other region of the state. He said the area is the heart of the United States with Interstate 80 and Interstate 39.

He said the timing is perfect to help create jobs by smaller companies instead of relying on larger companies that have left the area over the years like the St. Paul Coal Co. plus many factories in the 1970s and 1980s.

Jack Schultz, author of “Boomtown USA” and “The Agurban,” told about communities in the United States helping their economy by recreating themselves. He cited one of those towns as Peru, Ill., when it spent $100,000 to extend infrastructure two to three miles north when I-80 was first built.

This action by city leaders was controversial at the time, but Peru now gets $5 million a year in retail sales from the retail created and eight manufacturing companies located there as a result of that investment, said Schultz.

Dick Janko, who organized Thursday’s meeting, asked those attending to get the regional organization going to create jobs for the Illinois Valley. He can be reached at jankoventures@jankorealty. com.

As detailed by the Illinois Department of Public Health, symptoms of West Nile Virus include fever, nausea, headache

and muscle aches. Symptoms may last from a few days to a few weeks.

However, four out of five people infected with West Nile virus will not show any symptoms. In rare cases, severe illness including meningitis or encephalitis, or even death, can occur.

Electricity, vehicle crashes What to do (and not do) during an accident For many, Labor Day weekend will include an extra day off work and meeting up with friends and family. It is also means more travel time on America’s roads. Safe Electricity encourages those taking to the road this weekend to take extra care and make sure they know what to do if they should find themselves in an auto accident with power lines.

According to the National Safety Council, on average the number of traffic deaths during Labor Day weekend is 14.6 percent higher than during the weekends before and after the holiday.

In 2013, they are estimating that there will be 400 traffic fatalities.

“Car accidents are scary experiences,” said John Lowrey, advisory board member of the Safe Electricity program.

“After the trauma of a car accident, your first instinct may be to leave the car.

Safe Electricity wants to remind people that if you are involved in an accident with power poles or power lines, the safest place after an accident is actually inside the car.”

This past spring, Mathew Emery’s pickup truck crashed into a utility pole in rural Illinois. A 34,500-volt transmission line was on top of his truck, and a 7,200-volt distribution line was suspended about 3 feet above the ground just outside his door. He stayed safe by

staying in his vehicle until utility crews did their work.

In 2009, two Indiana teenagers, Ashley Taylor and Lee Whitaker, also experienced first-hand the importance of staying in the car after an accident with a power pole. Knowing what to do saved their lives when they were involved in such an accident just a few days after they saw a presentation about electrical safety at school. They knew to stay in the car and warned those who approached to stay away.

Power equipment can be damaged, or come down after an accident. If you leave your car, you are stepping into danger. Power lines carry high voltage electricity. After an accident, your car and the surrounding area can become energized. Even if you do not touch lines or equipment, you can still be killed or seriously injured. Electricity looks for a path to the ground. If electricity uses you as the path to ground, you could receive a severe, possibly fatal shock.

After an accident, stay in the car, and tell others to do the same. Call emergency and utility services. Do not leave your vehicle until a utility professional has told you it is safe to do so. If a Good Samaritan tries to approach the accident, warn them to stay away.

Wilson sent to jail on cocaine felony PRINCETON — A Spring Valley man has been ordered to serve six months in the Bureau County Jail after pleading guilty to the Class 1 felony of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, cocaine.

Michael L. Wilson, 24, entered his guilty plea on Aug. 23 in Bureau County Court before Circuit Judge Marc Bernabei. In addition to the county jail time, Wilson was placed on five years TASC probation with the condition he pay fines, fees and court costs totaling $3,012 by Sept. 3, 2014, and follow all recommendations of his TASC evaluation for drug treatment.

In March 2013, a cooperating individual working with the TRIDENT task force made arrangements to buy cocaine from Wilson. Under surveillance of TRIDENT task force agents, the cooperating individual bought 1.4 grams of cocaine from Wilson for $100.

When the investigation was concluded, Wilson was charged with unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, cocaine, on May 16, 2013, and a warrant for his arrest was issued. Wilson was arrested on June 14. This is Wilson’s first felony conviction. He has four prior misdemeanor convictions in 2007 and 2013 in LaSalle County.

Down the hallway Working in the newspaper business, I have the opportunity to visit many people, places and things in and around the county.

Of course there are certain places I always enjoy going, and I don’t mind telling you our schools are right up there near the top of my list. And so it was this week when I had the opportunity to visit an area school. The door had barely closed behind me, and the memories quickly began tapping me on my shoulder.

The smell hit me first. Most schools Terri smell the same — except for DePue, which Simon always smells of something wonderful cooking/baking/roasting in the school cafeteria. It’s clearly incredible, and every time I’ve gone to DePue around lunch time, I’ve always wished I’d brought my lunch money. Those lunch ladies down there can cook! Anyway ... back to the smell.

As I walked down the dimly-lit hallway, the smell wasn’t any different than the way my schools smelled nearly 50 years ago. It was a distinctive aroma — a combination of old books and sweaty kids coupled with the not-so-distinct scent of success and sometimes failure too. Quite frankly, I wanted to stop and lean up against the wall, close my eyes and breathe deeply for a few minutes, as the memories continued to send me down Memory Lane.

The sights and sounds ... Some kid slamming a locker door in the distance brought me back to reality but not for long. I continued down the hallway, momentarily glancing into classrooms as I passed, where I saw children engaged and teachers doing what they do best. It would have been fun to linger in the present, but for some reason, my mind kept taking me back to yesteryear ...

Favorite teachers’ faces returned quickly — their smiles, their eagerness and excitement about the lessons they taught, their compliments and their encouragement. I doubt I’ll every forget those faces. On the proverbial other side of the hall, there was always that teacher who scared our youthful souls to death — the one rumored to have young boys and girls hidden in her closet — bad boys and girls who she hoarded and snacked on during the summer break. (Don’t write me letters, please. We were kids, and we had vivid imaginations!)

Almost at my destination in the school that day, I could see children on the playground, and teachers watching their antics, as they wiped their brows from the late summer heat; I heard a music class singing a charismatic version of a familiar tune; and I passed the gymnasium where a group of kids were red-faced and sweaty as a ball went flying past the gym door and a teacher’s words of warning bellowed from inside the hot room.

An adult passed me in the hallway and asked me if I needed help ... and for a moment, I wanted to tell her I did. That’s right. I wanted her to tell me how I could return to a place in time, when the biggest worries of the day were what I got on my math test, what the cafeteria was serving for lunch, and which boy liked which girl. Instead, I thanked her for her concern and moved on.

School has started, and while I realize the educational process is considerably different than when I was a child, I have to believe the basics are the same: Kids need great teachers to offer the tools of knowledge to take their students into the future, and teachers need parents to encourage their child and work handin-hand with them to ensure these kids are ready for the world. Basically, teachers need parents to support them and then leave them alone to do what they do best — teach our young people.

Bureau County has exceptional schools and phenomenal teachers. The rest of the world should be so lucky. A quick trip down an educational Memory Lane reminded me of that ...

rest of the mane was taken off for appearance sake. Thompson Brothers had a horse robbed of its tail, and in broad daylight. No clue as to who is guilty of this nefarious business.

Aug. 24, 1909, Bureau County Record: Two Italians from Spring Valley were arrested for killing turkeys owned by Paul Pyzaia of Peru. Six men total had the habit of visiting Mr. Pyzaia’s farm on Sundays and killing his turkeys. When Sheriff Benson of LaSalle County turned up at the mine where the men worked, none of the Italians would point the accused out. Benson was finally able to pick out two of the gentlemen from the crowd. One of the men informed the sheriff that since they were not American citizens, he had no right to arrest them, and they could not be punished by American law.

Aug. 18, 1909, Bureau County Record: Peter McConnell was pardoned

by Governor Deneen for the murder of Michael McDonald. McConnell had a dispute with a John Doyle of Spring Valley the day of the murder and waited outside Doyle’s store with a rock in hand.

McDonald came around the corner and was struck by McConnell thinking it was Doyle. McDonald eventually died from his injuries.

McConnell was arrested at his home in Marquette, Ill., and later pleaded guilty to murder. His excuse was $2.50 worth of whiskey is what caused all the trouble.

Nov. 7, 1907, Bureau County Republican: Owen Ryan of Tiskilwa is husking corn for James McMahon.

Herbert Whiting on Wednesday was an insurance caller at George Minier’s of Milo. Mary Hetrick began attending Tiskilwa High School on Monday.

Oct. 24, 1907, BCR: Headline reads, “Jack The Clipper After Horses.” It seems several horses in LaSalle have had their manes and tails clipped by a fiend in the area. Louis Davidson had the mane on his horse clipped so deeply in the middle that the

Oct. 24, 1907, BCR: While on a buggy ride, Mrs. Anna Mayers of Buda, met up with an automobile. Mrs. Mayers had stepped out of the buggy before the horse bolted going over a hedge, buggy and all and landing in Will Carper’s field. Mrs. Mayers was not hurt and driver of the automobile paid her $5 for damages. Mrs. Edith Powers and her daughter had a similar incident when their horse overturned their buggy due to automobile fright.

The automobile driven by L.H. Scott frightened the horse, and the passengers of the buggy were thrown into a ditch. Scott stopped so suddenly that something broke

in the auto and he was unable to restart the machine. Mrs. Powers received scratches on her face and a bruised shoulder. The girl was unhurt.

July 21, 1909, Bureau County Record: Search parties were formed to look for a man named Fred Young of Princeton. He was found 72 hours later wondering the streets of Seatonville. Young had recently taken treatment at a hospital and then returned home. Later Young disappeared and ended up in Galesburg. When he came to his senses, he found himself at the train depot, and the train caller called for Princeton. He then took the train home. On another occasion Young was found wandering near Zearing, Ill., with no hat or coat. Young was discovered Saturday by Bert Piper, S.L. Richardson and Ira C. Gibbons while they were traveling in their automobile to Seatonville on business. Young was offered a ride to Princeton which he accepted and was taken to Bureau County Jail for evaluation. When asked, Young remembered only a little about his trip but said he had plenty to drink.

Mr. Young is well known in Princeton and has no bad habits as smoking or chewing. He was taken to Watertown by Sheriff Skoglund and his brother, Albert Young, on Monday.

So there you have it. Another edition of “Headlines from the past.” Enjoy and have a great weekend!

TO Letter THE Editor

The highest honor To the Editor, The Bureau County Republican regularly reports on issues important to our community’s workers. This Labor Day, I would like to highlight individuals whose work is on display every day: Merit shop construction craftprofessionals.

The vast majority of construction workers — 86.8 percent — choose not to belong to a labor organization. They have made the decision to put their professional

craft skills to use in a merit shop, free enterprise environment.

However, the livelihood of these merit shop workers is under assault by politicians who reward labor unions with political favors by supporting governmentmandated project labor agreements (PLAs).

When government entities require a PLA on a publically-funded construction projects, they are essentially tilting the playing field in favor of contractors that agree to use organized labor. Meaning

the majority of the construction workforce cannot compete on an equal basis for projects funded by their own tax dollars.

In response to labor unions’ efforts to promote PLA mandates, state after state has stood up for the construction workforce by rejecting governmentmandated PLAs. Since 2011, 14 states have banned governmentmandated PLAs, bringing the total number of states to do so to 18. But not Illinois; we continue to promote

and encourage the use of these expensive, unnecessary mandates that cost the taxpayers millions of dollars each year; a “union tax.”

Let our state leaders know that it is time to put an end to these discriminatory government-mandated PLAs. This is the highest honor we can pay to all in the construction workforce this Labor Day. Alicia Martin, president Associated Builders & Contractors, Illinois Chapter Springfield

PAC Gallery to host watercolor exhibit PRINCETON — Barry Mayworm, a new and emerging artist from Princeton, will exhibit his original artwork in the Prairie Arts Center Gallery through the month of September, beginning with an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m.

Friday.

Using watercolors, Mayworm has developed his own unique style called the “mottled look,” which uses marks of various colors and textures to create expressive and enduring images. His art includes landscapes and florals that celebrate the beauty of nature. He also paints cityscapes, which illustrate the architecture and vitality of our city. Barry is a perpetual student of art, always exploring new and interesting ways of creating art.

Mayworm has a degree in structural engineering from the University of Illinois and after a 40-year career in engineering, construction and building, he retired in 2007.

“For me retirement was not going to be about sitting on the front porch in a rocking chair watching

the world go by. I was going to be actively doing something.” So at age 61, he decided to take some art courses at Morton Arboretum. He found it engaging and stimulating and gradually found himself spending more and more time drawing and painting. It was then that he decided that art would be his second career.

The title of Mayworm’s exhibit is “BJM-An Emerging Artist.” The exhibit will show original artwork created by him from 2008 to the present. It starts with his latest creation, “An Evening at the Theater,” which will be unveiled at the opening reception. This exhibit will feature various original artwork from his collections he titles “Princeton Sketches” and “Pertaining to Flowers,” as well as other individual paintings.

This original watercolor exhibit can be viewed through Sept. 22 during gallery hours from 10 a.m. to noon Wednesdays and from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. The public is invited to attend the opening reception on

Thanks Neighbor A beautiful experience To the Editor, We would like to share a beautiful heartwarming experience that took place Aug. 24 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Tiskilwa.

The occasion — a 4 p.m. Mass in celebration of the 60th wedding anniversary of Joe and Louise Kunkel. Father Paul Meismer and Deacon John Murphy officiated at a very joyful, loving and spiritually moving Mass to a packed church consisting of family and friends. To those of us who have been longtime members of St. Mary’s, it was truly a flashback of the good old days at St. Mary’s. The air was truly electrified with warmth, love, laughter and many, many smiling faces.

This beautiful experience will certainly leave all present with a beautiful cherished memory.

Thank you, Joe and Louise, for the wonderful opportunity to

share in your wonderful celebration and thank you, Father Meismer and Deacon John Murphy, for your contribution to this very meaningful experience.

Betty and John Brokaw Tiskilwa

You were so kind To the Editor, Thank you to the six individuals who were so kind and considerate to help me during the concert at the Bureau County Fair. Because of my handicap I am unable to stand for a long time. The people in front of me stood most of the time and these individuals asked those people several times to sit down. When that didn’t work, they talked with security personnel and arrangements were made and I was moved to a different seat so I could enjoy the concert.

Thank you again for all you did.

To the Editor, We had reasons to go to Princeton Prompt Care a couple different times within the last month.

Both times we were met with friendliness, efficiency, cleanliness and quickness in tending to our needs. Both times we were in and out within 30 to 40 minutes, and both times our reasons for going were tended to promptly, accurately and confidently. All staff at Princeton Prompt Care are very friendly and knowledgeable, and both times, a follow-up call was made to see how the patient was doing and if we had any further questions, including one by Dr. Bonucci himself. We can’t express enough our happiness and impressiveness with the clinic and would encourage anyone who has reason for this type of service to go and check them out.

Testing the waters, one harvest at a time Walnut farmer participating in Mosaic Co. program

By Matt Mencarini Shaw Media Service

WALNUT – James Schoff is trying something different, and it’s raising as many questions as it is answering.

Schoff, who has been farming for 18 years, works 2,700 acres just southwest of Walnut, is participating in the Pursuit of 300 program, which was started by the Mosaic Co. last August to encourage farmers to try new methods to increase their yield.

Mosaic Co., based in Plymouth, Minn., sells crop nutrients that include potash and phosphate, among several other products.

The Pursuit of 300 program was designed to foster communication between farmers and the company’s agronomists as to how a 300-bushel-per-acre yield could be realized.

Through the program, Mosaic is working with six farmers in six states, as well as local agronomists, to build on the databases those farmers already have established and determine possible nutrient treatments.

Ron Olson is Mosaic’s senior agronomist for North America and has been working with Schoff, as well as the Indiana farm, during the program.

Schoff, like the other farmers selected, is open to incorporating new technology and methods into his farming, he said.

“We had a couple of planning meetings to talk about what’s the nutrient levels we should be shooting for, for 300 bushel corn,” Olson said. “So we stepped back and looked at what they had been doing, and we made some suggestions about what could be a limiting factor going forward.”

Specifically in Schoff’s case, he hadn’t been using sulfur and zinc to a “high

James Schoff of Walnut studies some of the corn in his Pursuit of 300 field, which is a sort of experiment to help farmers develop and try methods to increase their yields. Pursuit of 300 is a program started by Mosaic Co., of Plymouth, Minn., which sells crop nutrients.

Emphasizing quality protects profitability As we move into harvest, Illinois soybean farmers will have one thing on their minds: Yield.

But our customers don’t care how many bushels of beans we grow; they care about how much protein and oil those beans contain.

And we should begin to think about our beans the same way our customers do.

Whether they’re used here in Illinois, somewhere else in the United States or another country, our soybeans are used for the same things. The meal goes into feed for poultry, hogs and other livestock. And most of the oil gets used to make food. If you look at the trends in the global marketplace, you’ll see that our customers are buying components of our soy: Meal and oil.

About 54 percent of the soybeans grown in Illinois are exported,

Sharon Covert COMMENTARY and most of those beans are processed to make animal feed.

While our total export volume has increased, U.S. soybean farmers’ share of the global soybean export market has shrunk, and our declining protein and oil levels could be to blame.

According to the Illinois Soybean Association, yields have increased over the last 10 years, but protein and oil levels have declined throughout Illinois. On the other hand, Brazilian soybeans continue to show consistently higher protein and oil levels, making them potentially more competitive in international markets.

Most of the Illinois soybeans that are not

Chicago Mercantile Exchange partners with local 4-H

shipped to foreign markets are used to make animal feed within the United States. And if our domestic customers demand better oil and meal, we should grow varieties that produce better meal and oil.

We don’t have to choose between good yields and better components, and asking your seed dealer for varieties that will produce higher levels of protein and oil will help keep U.S. soy competitive and protect our bottom lines.

We have an abundance of opportunity in Illinois. We have fertile fields and easy access to major transportation hubs. If we put more emphasis on the component values of our soybeans, we will help keep our industry strong.

Sharon Covert is the USB secretary and a soybean farmer from Tiskilwa.

University of Illinois Extension Bureau, LaSalle and Marshall-Putnam county 4-H programs have received a gift from the CME Group (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) to launch a new partnership that will connect the important work of the world’s largest futures exchange company to the 4-H mission at the local level.

The goal of the partnership program is to increase the public’s understanding of the enormous value of agriculture commodities and what it takes to successfully manage the business risks associated with bringing them to market, including costs, profits and competition – and increase agriculture literacy across the nation.

In its first year, the new initiative, which includes an interactive learning activity, was conducted at county and state fairs in 11 states, including Illinois. The Commodity Carnival was conducted at the Bureau, LaSalle and Marshall-Putnam 4-H fairs where it benefitted more than 200 who participated in the hands-on educational opportunity.

Jill Guynn, county director serving Bureau,

LaSalle, Marshall and Putnam counties, said, “The Commodity Carnival was a big hit at all three of the county 4-H fairs. The participants raised their own hogs and were able to take their hogs to market to learn about markets and the numerous risks involved with raising livestock through a fun, hands-on activity.”

The new program was modeled after the highly successful 4-H National Youth Science Day – now in its sixth year.

“National 4-H Council is excited about this new partnership with CME Group,” said Donald T. Floyd Jr., president and CEO, National 4-H Council. “Exposing youth and their families to understanding why and how agricultural commodities are bought, sold and traded in fluctuating markets is vital. Providing our youth with this knowledge and education is critically important when one considers the impact of the agriculture market on our daily lives and our global economy.”

Developed by the Ohio State University Extension, the Commodity Carnival consists of two hands-on mini carnival

games, Invest & Grow and Pig-Linko, to introduce the concepts of agriculture futures, options and commodity trading to the target audience of families and youth ages 8 through 14. Each activity will guide the participants through the process of producing a commodity and selling it. Throughout the learning experience, participants will be able to recognize what an agriculture commodity is and associate commodities with products used in their daily lives; learn what investments are required to raise a commodity; and discover how a commodity’s risks in taking it to market factor into its selling prices.

“Agriculture has been a central part of our business for more than 160 years, and we’re thrilled to partner with 4-H at county and state fairs. We’re eager to provide an engaging way for fair-goers to gain a basic understanding of commodity trading and the vital role that managing risk plays in helping our nation’s farmers thrive,” said Anita Liskey, CME Group managing director, corporate marketing and communications.

Play it again Sam Tigers postponed at Morrison

By Matt Mencarini Shaw Media Service

MORRISON — The game started with a trick and ended with a flash, at least for Friday.

Morrison and Princeton will resume play at 11 a.m. Saturday after their Friday night game was postponed due to weather.

At the time of the initial lightning delay, the Morrison Mustangs were

in control of the game, leading the visiting Tigers 8-0, thanks to an Andy Bird touchdown run from 4 yards out, with 6:59 left in the first quarter.

The Tigers made the hour drive back to Princeton after the game was officially postponed at approximately 9:20 p.m.

And they’ll make that same hour drive back to Morrison Saturday.

Tigresses rebuild around O’Neil

Little Giants big in opener

By BCR Sports Staff

PRINCETON — While the girls tennis program at Princeton runs strong with 43 girls out this fall, only three of their top eight players from last year’s perfect 14-0 season return — seniors Jen O’Neil, Courtney Webb and Emma Reidner.

“You can say this is a rebuilding year for us,” PHS coach Connie Lind said.

O’Neil returns to the top of the order at No. 1 singles. She qualified for state last year and is picking up right where she left off last season, Lind said, showing stronger hitting and ability to score at the net and at the baseline. She scored what Lind called a big win over Ottawa standout Molly Angell 7-6, 4-6, 10-7 on the homecourts Thursday.

“Jen brings both leadership and experience to our team. She played in USTA tournaments this summer, that has prepared her both physically and mentally for our season,” Lind said.

“She has gotten stron-

The DePue Little Giants put the heat on host Paw Paw Thursday, claiming an 8-0 win in its season opener.

All eight goals came in the first half. Carlos Acosta, the 2012 BCR Player of the Year, led DePue with three goals and two assists.

Adrian Perez added two goals, and Hugo Perez had one score and one assist.

Hector Villagomez made five saves on goal.

DePue coach Tim Stevens said his team looked ready to start the season.

“The first half we worked on the formation and distributing the ball to different players. Second half the team worked on linking up crosses into the box.

Plenty of play for back up players and a good game to assess position battles and backup roles,” Stevens said.

Webb moves up to No. 2 singles, having played No. 3 doubles last year.

She has good foot speed, Lind said, and “is always thinking on the court.

She sees the whole

court well, meaning she moves her opponent side to side or brings them to the net.”

Senior captain Laura Behrends will team up with junior Ellie Bonucci at No. 2 doubles. Bonucci played No. 1 singles

for the F/S last year and has had to learn to share the court. Behrends & Bonucci play very well together and are getting stronger every day.

Reidner will anchor the No. 3 doubles with

From Page 13 the stuff out of the (shotgun) we weren’t ready for and we should have been.”

Ohlson, who is also the athletic director at Bureau Valley, was going to talk the rest of his coaches about how they would prepare the team tomorrow for one half of play.

“It’s a different experience,” said Ohlson.

“I’ve never really been through this as an assistant coach, head coach and now as an athletic director, too.”

Before the lightning strikes, the Storm got off to a fast start in the first half on Friday night.

Quarterback Parker Neuhalfen had three scores on the ground, his first coming from nine yards out when he beat the Hall defenders to the edge just 1:55 into the game.

Neuhalfen was also near perfect in the air, completing six of seven passes for 133 yards. His only touchdown pass of

Princeton coach Jesse Snyder said it will be important for his team to have a short memory and play aggressive when it gets back on the field.

“The big thing is, we have to get guys home and off their feet and rested up,” he said. “Come back tomorrow and go back to work.”

The early start will be an adjustment for the Mustangs as well, Bielema said.

“It’s going to be a brand new experience,” he said.

“And that seems like the 2013 Mustangs’ motto here. Everything is brand new.”

Bird scored on the opening drive of the game, which started from the Princeton 41-yard line after Morrison ran a double reverse on its first

Amboy

From Page 13 The bulk of fans took shelter in their cars and/ or neighboring houses, while both teams, their cheerleaders and students from both schools huddled in the hallways and gym of Amboy High School.

After the opening kickoff, St. Bede needed just five plays to cover 79 yards and put seven points on the board. The capper was a 51-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Jack Brady to freshman wide receiver Braidy Shipp.

The pass covered just 15 yards, but Shipp outran the Amboy secondary the rest of the way.

Brady was 3-for-3 on the drive for 76 yards.

the night, a 20-yard strike to Tommy Johnston, put the Storm ahead 16-0 early in the first quarter.

Hall would answer the Storm’s fast start with back-to-back scores of their own on touchdown runs from Chris Hammonds (23 yards) and Jacob Byczynski (4 yards). Byczynski leads all rushers at the half with 71 yards on the ground.

“I think offensively we moved the ball OK,” said Tieman. “Going against that wind took away our passing game. We’ll make a few adjustments and see what we can do in the second half. I think we can score on them and move the ball.”

Neuhalfen ended Hall’s momentum with consecutive five-yard touchdown runs on BV’s next two possessions. His first score came on a critical 4th-and-3 conversion.

Tucker Schoff then ended the first half scoring barrage on a two-yard touchdown dive with 17 seconds left in the half.

Kittens win 22-0 MORRISON - Austin Rossler scored three touchdowns and Levi Bates added two PAT kicks and Jack Bays a conversion run as the Kittens rolled in Friday’s sophomore prelim. kickoff return of the 2013 season.

The game was paused with Morrison driving once again, with the ball on the Princeton 17-yard line after the Mustangs forced and recovered a fumble on the Tigers’ fourth play from scrimmage.

“I wasn’t really sure how we were going to come out on the year,”Bielema said. “We weren’t crisp in all phases, we had some sloppiness, but it was a bad time for us to have something like this occur.”

Michael Bellino, a 6-foot5, 240-pound fullback, rushed two times for 10 yards. The Bruins were also penalized once for five yards.

“We’re going to get a big dish of Bellino on Saturday,” Amboy coach Gary Jones said. “Obviously we need to play better defensively.”

Amboy sophomore linebacker Dallas Appleman suffered an injury to his left knee on the second play of the game and had to be helped off the field. He will be evaluated on Saturday, and his status will be determined at that time.

The game will resume with St. Bede kicking off to Amboy, with 10:29 remaining in the first quarter.

“The scoreboard is going to say 36-13 when we start the game (Saturday), but it’s a whole new half.

“Hall can turn around and do that to us in the second half. We have to be mentally prepared and

ready to go.”

Hall will have possession when the second half begins on Saturday.

“First game, we’re still trying to find an identity. I wouldn’t have had any problems walking away with the loss, the way we competed. We played well.”

The Tigresses had plenty of weapons with four girls with seven or more kills on the night. Senior middle hitter Becca Hult led the Tigresses with 10 kills and four blocks.

Ashley Farraher added nine kills with sophomore Hailey Schultz adding eight and Alicia Poss seven with two blocks.

Senior setter Michelle Kelly was the provider, evenly contributing 36 assists to go with a team-high seven digs.

Tiger tales: Wethersfield swept the underclass levels, taking the freshmen match 25-12, 26-24 and the sophomores 25-17, 30-28. Wethersfield was added late as a replacement for Rock Falls. Tuesday’s match at Fulton was canceled due to the heat and will be played Sept. 30. The Tigresses will host St. Bede Tuesday to kick off Three Rivers South Division play.
