Moving forward together IVAC encourages business continuity in Spring Valley

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — The Spring Valley City Council members were joined by Joni Hunt, executive director of Illinois Valley Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Monday, Sept. 14, to discuss local business growth.

Hunt has enthusiastically taken to her new position as executive director at IVAC throughout the last two months and spoke to the council about the importance of business and business support. She reiterated the value in communication with and care of current IVAC businesses, and said everyone has to work together

through upgraded connectivity to be true contenders in the world.

“We’re in a transitional stage and are figuring out the best ways to serve our 23 IVAC communities equally,” Hunt said, stating the overall budget will go much further when those communities move collectively rather than individually.

Also at the meeting, Mayor Walt Marini said the new Hall High School looks great and is a big asset to the community, wishing them nothing but success in the future. The high school will have a dedication ceremony Saturday, Oct. 17.

The city council acknowledged that Mike and Sheila Campbell closed their doors at Valley Photo Aug. 15

after 47 years in business, and Marini presented them with a plaque and heartfelt appreciation for their ability to capture the most compelling moments of Spring Valley residents throughout the last half century. The Campbells said it was an honor and privilege being a part of so many families over the years.

City Engineer Larry Good said the west interceptor roadway project is progressing toward completion, and the wastewater treatment plant project is dependent on the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s approval of the loan associated with the project.

Good said Well No. 11 still hasn’t passed bacteriological testing, although the numbers are improving, and parts are on the way in regards to the Well No. 10 rehabilitation activities. Alderman Ken Bogacz brought

Hungry for action Needs are rising in Bureau County

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — September is Hunger Action Month, which is a national campaign to help mobilize the public to take action on issues related to hunger and food insecurity.

The month-long campaign is promoted by Feeding America.

Their nation-wide message is one in seven people are dealing with food insecurity.

Vanessa Hoffeditz, manager of the Bureau County Food Pantry, said food insecurity can mean there’s not enough food in one household, family members go without food or parents are eating less so their children can have more food.

“It continues to be an issue and a local one, as well,” Hoffeditz said. “We continue to see an increase in our numbers that we are serving through the food pantry.”

Hoffeditz said in the month of July she served 179 households and provided food for 497 individuals, which was an increase in households compared to the previous year.

“We’re always up,” she said.

“The needs are not declining.”

Hoffeditz said while the food pantry serves 11 communities, 85 percent of families served are living in the Princeton area.

She said 30 percent who use the food pantry are 17 years old or younger.

The food pantry also sees a high percentage of seniors, aged 65 years or older, and people who identify themselves as disabled. The Bureau County Food

Eleven-year-old Hannah gets a well deserved and much enjoyed belly rub as she relaxes in the shade with Friends of Strays secretary Millie Mackiny. Friends of Strays is hoping those considering adopting a pet will look toward some of the senior residents who have been at the shelter for quite some time.

Loyalty and love ...

Friends of Strays’ senior animals need and offer both

By Dave Cook dcook@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Everyone loves puppies and kittens. Nature has designed them to be adorable and appealing. Being cute is what they do best, so it’s not surprising they draw the most attention when a family comes to the Friends of Strays shelter to adopt a new family member. Focusing on puppies and kittens means people are failing to notice many older animals who offer just as much love, without the associated chaos puppies and kittens so

energetically produce.

“So many of the older ones get overlooked,” said Cheryl McLane, new director of Friends of Strays. “We’re a no-kill shelter, so a lot of the older ones have been with us for quite awhile. We want to make people aware of these wonderful pets.”

Senior pets are less maintenance, since they don’t require the time and energy consuming stage of training and raising a highly-spirited young kitten or puppy.

Senior pets From Page 1

“Senior animals are less destructive, less physically demanding, and they get into less mischief. They can be perfect companions for senior people or those not wanting a highly-active pet. They’re relaxing and comforting to be around. There are also less surprises when adopting an older pet. What you see is what you get,” said McLane. Most older animals only want loving affection, food, a bit of exercise, a safe and warm place to sleep and someone they can curl up next to while napping.

Just because it’s an older animal doesn’t mean it’s a problem pet. It’s not uncommon for people to leave their pets at a shelter through no fault of the dog or cat. These animals deserve to be part of a loving home. They’re thrust into the world of an animal shelter and can’t comprehend the reasons behind it. They’ve lost their sense of home and find the environment of a shelter stressing, creating fear and anxiety. It’s recommended to not judge an animal based on it’s behavior in the shelter.

Upon entering the kennel area, it explodes with barking, impressive jumping, running in circles, cowering in fear or displays of aggression. Yet, as soon as any of them are taken out of the shelter and walked a bit, their true personality shows itself. Everything relaxes; their tails begin to wag; and they will happily trot along beside you. If you take them to a shady spot in the grass and sit with them, your lap will soon be the seat of a new friend, and you’ll be nuzzled and kissed.

Some animals have been there for many years. Stuart, an 11-year-old Shepard mix, is as ready as ever to become a faithful and loving member of a family, yet he’s been overlooked by countless families. He arrived as a young dog and now waits for adoption as a senior animal. He doesn’t appear outgoing while in the kennel; he stays in the back corner, wary, but away from it, he proves himself to be friendly, loving, gentle and well mannered.

“At this point we’d be happy if he could just get to spend one more year of his life in a loving home,” said secretary Millie MacKiny.

There are also cats of every type waiting for a good home.

There are rooms of highly-athletic and playful young cats, less social or semi-feral cats, older cats and cats with special challenges. These cats are as affectionate as any; they just require a bit of understanding.

If people can’t fully commit to a pet, there is a new foster program which may be appealing. Fostering helps relieve overcrowding and helps prepare the animals to learn what they need to know to help them find a permanent family.

Living in a home environment diffuses their anxiety and helps them learn manners, socialization and most of all ... love. Friends of Strays will continue to provide veterinary care and food, if needed, to those willing to foster a dog or cat in need. All that’s asked in return is to be able to take them to adoption events to help them find a permanent

To encourage the adoption of older animals the shelter has reduced their fees to help find them a permanent and loving home. home.

To help encourage the adoption of the shelter’s senior pets, Friends of Strays has lowered the adoption fee on older animals. The fee to adopt a senior cat has dropped from $50 to $25. The fee for a senior dog more than six years old has dropped from $150 to $100.

“All animals are spayed or neutered, up to date on their required vaccinations and micro-chipped, so you’re getting a lot,” said McLane.

Friends of Strays receives no public or government funds of any kind. “We rely solely on donations, fundraisers and the income generated by Finders Keepers,” said MacKiny.

Finders Keepers is a resale store located at 1225 N. Euclid in Princeton and is staffed by volunteers, as is the shelter.

If unable to adopt, volunteering or donating is a good way to help support the animals. A few hours a week can make a big difference at the shelter since,

there is always more than enough work to do and never enough volunteers. The shelter is also always in need of towels, blankets, paper towels, bleach, ECOS laundry soap, hand and dish soaps, unscented fabric sheets, cat and dog toys/treats, Purina Cat and Kitten Chow, 40 gallon garbage bags, mops with scrubbers, sponges, canned tuna in water, collars and leashes, cat beds, Alpo or Pedigree canned dog food, Advantage II (large dogs) flea control, litter and good quality, small bite, adult and puppy dry dog food.

“A lot of the animals have pretty sad stories, but they’re safe here. It’s as good as we can make it for them, but it’s not as good as a loving home,” said McLane.

Setting ‘America’ free Third-grade students Izabella Birkey (left) and Xavier Gyurkovicsin, along with their classmates in Laurie Bitting’s class at Bureau Valley South in Buda, spent time on Friday, Sept. 11, discussing the tragic events of 9-11. The students looked through and read parts of a book donated to school’s library by former Principal Sue Zbrozek, titled, “World Trade Center: The Giants that Defied the Sky.” The students also wrote simple thank you notes to local first responders. In a symbolic gesture, the classmates named a Monarch butterfly “America” that had emerged from its chrysalis that day in the classroom. The butterfly was later released outside to fly free, in honor of the lives that were lost 14 years ago.

Ray Vetter (center) and his family pose for photo during the dedication of the Ray and Ruth Vetter Field on Saturday, Sept. 12. The baseball field is situated behind what used to be the Covenant Children’s Home.

It’s truly ... ‘A Field of Dreams’

By Linnea Houskeeper Special to the BCR

PRINCETON — “Youth without dreams is youth without a future,” said Pastor John Weborg Saturday, Sept. 12, during the Homestead Festival at the dedication of the Ray and Ruth Vetter Baseball Field at the Covenant Children’s Home site on Elm Place in Princeton.

Ray and Ruth Vetter had dreams when they came to the Covenant Children’s Home in 1931 and 1936, respectively. However, their dreams could never have equaled their reality. They dreamed of the basic American dream: A home, children, a little money in the bank, and happiness. After 68 years of marriage, three children, three grandchildren, one great-grandchild, 11 foster babies, and countless hours volunteering for hospice, Meals on Wheels and 45 years in the Optimist Club, Ray and Ruth Vetter will have a baseball field bearing their name. To officially christen the baseball field, Ray threw two great fast curve balls that Traveling Tiger Nolan Kleopping caught.

Tim Taylor, a businessman and volunteer in the community, spearheaded the effort to not only build the field, but also dedicate the field to two life-long members of the Princeton community.

When Taylor told Ray about his plans, Ray had “the biggest smile you could imagine,” said Taylor. That beaming smile was not for himself, but for his dearly beloved

late wife Ruth. Ray was devoted to his wife “who followed (him) coast to coast” during World War II. Ray doesn’t care so much about getting credit for his own good deeds, as giving credit to Ruth who was and still is the touchstone of his life.

Homestead’s theme this year was Field of Dreams alluding to the famous baseball field in Dyersville, Iowa, on which the 1989 movie “Field of Dreams,” starring Keven Costner was based. “(The Covenant Children’s Home) was a great home. Ruth and I were always grateful for being there during the Depression years,” said Ray, who remembers more than 80 years ago the pasture that was in the place of the current baseball field.

“The pasture was a shortcut to junior high for us boys to get to school.

But the fields were surrounded by barbed wire to keep the cows in. So we would always rip our clothes going over the barbed wire. Then one day we found a stile with steps on both sides. The maintenance man had put it there for us, so we wouldn’t have to rip our clothes. I was really happy, and so was Mrs. Bertha Nelson, Children’s Home founder, because the girls working in the sewing room after school didn’t need to mend the clothes anymore.”

Ray and Ruth were married in 1944 while Ray was on a 30-day leave from the Navy. Taylor, who is a good friend of Ray’s, said the couple is an inspiration to married people everywhere.

When he asked Ray how the couple came to get married, Ray said, “I was thinking about what to do with my life, and the best thing I could think of was to marry this lady.

Besides, she’d been sending me cookies on a regular schedule.”

Weborg, who has coffee with Ray every Friday, said Ray is a great storyteller and “what he has to say ought to be recorded” as living history. Dreams without the benefit of memories and history are hollow, said Weborg.

Ruth and Ray Vetter not only dreamed, but also remembered and aspired, making their dreams exceed those they first had when they came to the Covenant Children’s Home more than 80 years ago.

“We had 68 years together,” said Ray, as tears filled his eyes.

The Princeton Optimist Club will donate a scoreboard for the baseball field. Craig Dickens, the former president of the Traveling Tigers, was the driving force behind the day-to-day tasks in building the baseball field.

Dan Ellberg, along with Steve Bonucci, offered their expertise and bulldozer skills. Many other people in the community also donated their time, love and money to this project. The Covenant Children’s Home was gracious in allowing the field to be built. An official monument reading “Ray and Ruth Vetter Field” will be arriving shortly. This project was truly a community effort to honor two very special citizens.

Residents can receive unclaimed property SPRINGFIELD – Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs’ staff will be in LaSalle on Tuesday, Sept. 22, to help reunite citizens with unclaimed property through the I-Cash program.

In LaSalle, Bureau and Putnam counties, an estimated 60,000 people have unclaimed cash or property being safeguarded by the treasurer’s office. The value exceeds $12 million. Statewide, Frerichs secures more than $2 billion in unclaimed cash and property.

“Jewelry, coins and family mementos tucked away in a safe deposit box are common examples of items that we hold for safe keeping as we try to locate the proper owners,” Frerichs said. “These items do not belong to the state and should be returned to their rightful owners.”

The event will be from 4 to 7 p.m.

Tuesday, Sept. 22, at the LaSalle Public Library, 305 Marquette St. Rep. Frank Mautino and Sen. Sue Rezin invited Frerichs’ I-Cash Unclaimed Property team. The treasurer’s office never charges money for its assistance to reclaim cash or property.

The Illinois Treasurer’s office is the custodian of unclaimed property including lost bank accounts, insurance policy proceeds and forgotten safe deposit boxes. Items are surrendered after private entities tried for at least five years to locate the owners.

Because thousands of items are surrendered each year, residents should check I-Cash every six months. Visit www.illinoistreasurer.gov or call 217785-6998.

Fall allergy outlook AccuWeather reports as the air grows cooler and the days shorter, fall is just around the corner. The change in season, however, brings a new menu of irritants for allergy sufferers.

The biggest allergy trigger during the fall months is ragweed. The weed typically begins releasing pollen with warm days and cool nights in August and can last into November.

“Warmth can extend the growing season for plants that produce ragweed pollen,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Ben Noll said.

“Late-summer and early fall warmth has enhanced pollen levels across portions of the Plains, Midwest and Northeast.”

“Any pollen that’s in the

air now is not going to get washed out,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Alan Reppert said..

“Meanwhile, some midand late-September cool snaps across the Plains and Midwest could result in a freeze, killing weeds and bringing an end to the ragweed season,” Noll said.

Though ragweed allergies typically calm down into late October with the arrival cooler air, allergy-aggravating mold spores can linger later into the season. Mold spores thrive on damp fall foliage.

Enhanced levels of mold spores could also be an issue across the Southeast in the late fall as the second half of the season appears wetter than the first, Noll

said.

Ultimately, experts say the severity of a person’s fall allergies depends on their exposure to specific types of weed pollens, the amount of pollen in the air and their degree of hypersensitivity.

Despite these indicators, it’s difficult to predict how severe a season will ultimately become.

Mauli Desai, MD, assistant professor of medicine in the Division of Clinical Immunology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, said, “It is important for patients with fall allergies to be proactive, listen to pollen counts, talk to their doctor and prepare for a possible bad allergy season.”

Pantry serves 10 percent seniors and 23 percent of disabled patrons.

Hoffeditz said many who use the food pantry tend to be middle class families who are working but can’t make ends meet.

The reasons for the increase are linked to factors such as the price of food going up or income going down. Some families face unexpected challenges such as a significant illness in the family.

Hoffeditz said a big factor that has impacted families in the area is when the state did not have a budget and the Tri-County Opportunities Council energy assistance program lost state funding.

Bureau County Republican • bcrnews.com

“People who were used to coming in on Sept. 1, were able to have some assistance toward their utility bills and then as of July 1, that program was gone,” she said. “I don’t think we can ignore the fact that ripple effect of reduction of services for energy assistance has made an impact, and I think that’s why I’m seeing some patrons who tried to use us every other month are now coming in more frequently.”

The idea of Hunger Action Month is to help people recognize the need is there.

During this time, people can help make a difference in their communities.

Food donations can be made to the food pantry, as well as, financial donations. Hoffeditz said for

Also an ordinance was approved for outdoor dining at Disaster Shack, a restaurant in Spring Valley, and it was decided food, but not alcohol, could be served outside the restaurant from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The business must provide trash receptacles and show the council their design plans for approval.

Concerns over owners not picking up their pet’s waste was discussed, and council members planned to develop a handout describing the detriments of mismanaged waste that will be included when owners purchase dog tags.

Alderman Dave Pelligrini said an anonymous local concrete contractor donated their time, equipment and materials to pour the base for a new batting cage at Kirby Park, with the Little League program covering all additional costs. With eight cameras at Kirby Park and two cameras at Savitch Park, Pelligrini voiced his hope that vandalism would now be drastically curbed.

Police Chief Kevin Sangston encouraged people to lock their doors, vehicles and garages in light of recent garage thefts around the area, asking

every dollar donated, $10 worth of food can be purchased through the River Bend Foodbank.

“During this month, the main thing is having the awareness and supporting hunger efforts locally, whether that’s the food pantry, the Buddy Bags program, the Our Table program or other local programs that relate to hunger efforts,” she said.

And the winner is ...

This year’s Homestead 50/50 ticket raffle winner was Kathy Sopher of Princeton.

Sopher received $8,955.50, which is the most received since the 50/50 raffle’s inception five years ago. The Homestead Festival Committee raised a total of $17,911 this year. The committee’s half will be used for next year’s event. Pictured (left to right) are Jeff Hunt, steering committee member; Sopher and Bill and Dorothy Nelson, head steering committee couple.

Mautino-backed bills to protect victims of sexual assault SPRING VALLEY — Two legislative measures backed by state Rep. Frank Mautino to strengthen protections for survivors of sexual assault are now law.

“Sexual assault is a despicable crime that victims and their families never fully recover from.

Especially at this time of year, with students returning to college, it’s important to take needed steps to better protect students from horrible acts of violence,” Mautino said. “College students in Illinois will be better protected from sexual assault by implementing these stronger policies.”

Studies show that one in five undergraduate women will become a victim of rape or attempted rape, and the U.S. Department of Education has said women between the ages of 16 and 24 experience the highest rates of sexual assault and rape among women. Alarm-

ingly, a U.S. Senate report found that too many colleges and universities have not conducted a single investigation into allegations of sexual violence.

Mautino supported legislation requiring Illinois colleges, community colleges and universities to implement clear and comprehensive campus sexual violence policies, including detailed incident reporting, university response guidelines and better informing student survivors about their rights, including their right to confidentiality.

According to the Illinois attorney general’s office, the vast majority of sexual assaults on college campuses are not reported, but proactive education and protections for witnesses can dramatically increase the number of cases brought forward.

Mautino also backed House Bill 3848 to address a loophole that led to sexual assault survivors

directly billed for medical care services, which is prohibited under the Federal Violence Against Women Act. The legislation allows medical providers to bill for services, but sexual assault survivors cannot be directly billed nor can they be harassed for payment. Bills must be paid by insurance, health coverage programs and the state Violent Crime Victims Assistance Fund.

“It’s not only unthinkable to harass sexual assault survivors for receiving needed medical services, but it’s also illegal under federal law,” Mautino said. “This new law makes it clear in state law that medical providers, they cannot seek payment directly from victims of horrific sexual crimes.”

Mautino represents the 76th District, which includes all or portions of Bureau, LaSalle, Livingston and Putnam counties.

Helping the younger generation succeed In the last few months, I’ve covered a few economic development meetings that involved city officials and leaders talking about ideas on how to bring business to the area.

At these meetings, I’ve found, there’s always one topic that’s brought to light during the discussion of business strategies. That is the idea of attracting more younger generations to the area by providing opportunities they need to succeed here.

By younger generations, I believe they Goldie mean young adults who are just getting Rapp out of college and working, or maybe COMMENTARY someone who is finishing up a degree and will soon be looking for a job or young families just starting out with kids in school.

Every time the economic development discussions fall on this topic, my ears perk up. It’s interesting to me how the city recognizes the importance of keeping younger generations around and attracting more younger families to the area.

I would love to see more residents my age stay and build their lives in Princeton. Younger generations are the future of this community.

It will be great if the area could pull together a solution to help keep the youth coming back after college, or from other career paths they may have chosen after high school.

Not only do I believe it would keep our area young, but I feel it would bring new ideas and strategies that would continue to keep Princeton a great place to live and raise a family.

City officials are right when they talk about the need to focus their attention on the younger generation.

I would love to see these discussions be taken a step further and hear about possible ideas for bringing businesses to this area that will suit the career paths younger generations are now pursuing.

It would also be great to see the city provide better opportunities for young adults to stay in the area.

By opportunities, I mean making Princeton a more affordable place for these younger generations to live.

If the city plans to turn its attention to attracting young adults, I think some things could be considered. Many of these younger families have debt and are not yet financially established.

Many people this age are buying a home for the first time; making payments on a new, reliable vehicle they were forced to buy after college; making payments on students loans or credit cards used in college; handling expenses for new babies; and some may even be still getting used to high food prices at the grocery store.

As these young adults are starting out, they are not making big bucks. It would be nice to see the city consider the high cost of living in Princeton. Perhaps some sort of assistance program or incentive that could help make the area more affordable could be created to help attract younger generations to the area.

Once Princeton is able to provide more opportunities for younger generations, I believe the idea of returning home and making a living here should be discussed as an option to students.

I feel many students are so focus on the bigger and better after leaving high school — a bigger and better that maybe lies within the bigger cities of Chicago, New York or L.A. It would be nice to see students realize that bigger and better doesn’t always means the city life. If we change the mindset, perhaps students can start seeing bigger and better can mean in our neck of the woods.

From Harvard to (my parents’) home During the post-college phase of my life, I’ve noticed the word “transition” has popped up more than a few times. To me, “transition” means learning new skills, accepting more responsibility and realizing over and over again your parents did know what they were talking about (and being thankful for every opportunity they had to say, “We told you so,” but chose not to).

Stuck in my mind is the moment the term “my parents’ home” entered my vocabulary. For four years, I went back to Illinois at least once a year, usually twice, and until recently, always considered it a “trip home.” Though I wish I could pinpoint the exact moment in which the rural Princeton house I left in the fall of 2011 became “my parents’ home,” I imagine it was more a gradual transition that happened without me realizing it.

Now, as I sit on my porch in the middle of the New Hampshire woods writing this, Harvard, college, and everything that went along with it seem a million miles away. I left college and ran full steam ahead into adulthood, only taking a quick break for a piece of graduation cake with my family, who traveled more than a thousand miles to celebrate one of the most memorable moments of my life. God bless my great-grandmother who made the journey and happened to be the only one who printed out my itinerary for the week and actually referred to it on an hourly basis. After a whirlwind

Hayley Adams COMMENTARY commencement week, my life went from revolving around exams and study breaks to purchasing curtains and buying dog food in a matter of a few weeks. And I couldn’t be happier.

In my current job, I care for four sweet, energetic children. Did I mention they are all under the age of 7? They keep me on my toes, challenge me, yet still make me smile each and every day. But most importantly, in the few months I have spent with them, they have taught me the importance of parenthood. Parents do not get enough credit. From the day we are born, they make it their mission to teach us, guide us, and make sure we are cared for at all times. One of the hardest, most time consuming jobs ... that actually costs money. Now, I often find myself thinking back to everything my own parents, those alive and in heaven, have given me.

They have truly shaped my life in extraordinary ways.

You may be wondering why “parents” seem to be the focus of this farewell article. My parents, who I miss very much, were my first supporters, and I would never be where I am today without them. My father led by example, and I can still remember the handmade poster on

the side of one of his file cabinets, “Education is Power.” I think about him more and more every day as I try to follow his example of making family come first. Fast forward to college, and my parents, Tim and Melanie, were the ones who always believed I would make it through Harvard (since they booked a hotel room for my graduation my freshman year). They encouraged me to apply, and never acted as if it were a long shot. They took me on a memorable road trip after I was accepted, so I could make sure it was the perfect fit for me. They have always made their vacation destination Boston, just to spend a few days with me. They have supported me in this journey of self-discovery that I have chosen, even though I’ve chosen to be miles away.

This will be my last article for the “Harvard to Home” series because neither portion of that phrase accurately describes my life anymore. I look forward to seeing what comes next in my new chapter, but have also learned to appreciate, rather than fear, the degree of unknown with which I am often faced.

I am thankful to call myself a Harvard graduate, and dedicate this last shared piece of my experience to my parents, who helped me both earn the degree and learn how to be proud of it.

Auditions announced for PAC production PRINCETON — Auditions for this year’s Prairie Art Council children’s Christmas musical are set for 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 19, and 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20, in the Prairie Arts Center theater, 24 Park Ave. East, Princeton (children may audition either time).

The show will take place the weekend of Dec. 3-6.

Auditions are open to children in grades 3-8; select second graders may be cast as well, so second graders with a strong desire to perform and an ability to follow direction are welcome to audition. Children will be asked to sing “Jingle Bells” and “America the Beautiful;” those interested in a speaking role will

be provided with a scene selection at the audition.

This year’s Christmas show was written especially for PAC’s young actors by local playwright Rachel Gorenz-Johnson.

It features a chorus and both singing and speaking roles. Rehearsals for the 2015 performance may take place weekday evenings, Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons (approximately two to four rehearsals/week for cast members with speaking roles; we make every effort to work around everyone’s busy schedules) until the last two weeks before the show, when the rehearsal schedule increases.

The children’s Christmas musical is the flagship per-

formance of the PAC theater season.

A parent or guardian is required to accompany their child to the audition unless previous arrangements are made with the directors, and should come prepared to list their child’s height, clothing sizes and any schedule conflicts. Children who do not come with a parent will not be allowed to audition.

A parent meeting will be held at the same time as the auditions to organize volunteers for the production tasks associated with such a large production.

It takes many volunteers to produce a show of this magnitude, and all families are expected to help in some way.

Soccer: Orion 6, Princeton 2

Orion gets a charge out of Clarke

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

The Princeton Tiger soccer team must have seen Orion Noah Clarke in their sleep Monday night.

Clarke scored four goals to lead the visiting Chargers to a 6-2 win over the Tigers at Bryant Field. He was the difference in the game.

Clarke got away from the Tigers twice late in the first half and twice early in the second half to break open a 1-1 tie.

“We played hard, but had trou-

ble adjusting to the pace of play in the first half,” PHS coach David Gray said. “Noah Clarke is a very good player and we let him break us down just before and after half time. This is as strong a team as I can remember Orion having.

“I believe our lack of players on the bench affected us in the second half. There are things we need to work on and correct, but I believe there are positives to take from this match.”

Orion’s T.J. Mack scored first at the 19th minute.

Princeton tied the game three minutes later on a goal by Brett Schenck, assisted by Kai Brown.

After Clarke’s flurry for four, Juan Robledo got one back for the Tigers on a penalty kick in the 69th minute to cut Orion’s lead to 5-2.

Orion outshot the Tigers 22-9.

PHS keeper Isaac Salazar had 16 saves on goal.

Orion also won the F/S game 4-0.

The Tigers (3-6-1) will host Roanoke-Benson at 4:30 p.m. Thursday.

Volleyball: Orion def. Bureau Valley 25-17, 25-14

Storm making strides

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — Improvement is the only thing on the minds of the Bureau Valley Storm volleyball team and their coach Abbi Bosnich.

Struggling to an 0-11 record this season, the Storm ran into another tough opponent in the Orion Chargers (10-0, 4-0) as they dropped two games 25-17, 25-14 Tuesday, Sept.

16, at the Storm Cellar.

Although they suffered another loss on the volleyball court, the inexperienced Storm showed tremendous resilience in what Bosnich labels as

their most solid effort of the season.

“We played from behind all night, but this was the best we’ve played all season,” she said. “We knew coming in that Orion was a really strong team after talking to a couple of other coaches. We’ve had to play behind all year, but this effort was the best one we have all season.”

The effort put forth by the Storm came in the forms of hustle, solid communication amongst teammates, the resilience to maintain their fighting attitude and the focus to continue to put pressure on the

Tigers-Red Devils in rare battle of unbeatens

“I’ve been thinking about this game for a long time; it’s definitely been circled on the calender.”

khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Princeton vs. Hall week doesn’t need any extra hype when it comes to football each season. The game’s for bragging rights and frankly neither team likes to lose to the other.

But Friday night’s game will bring some extra hype and then some.

For starters, both teams are undefeated after three weeks. That doesn’t happen too often.

In fact, it’s believed to be only happened three times before in the rivalry dating back to 1920, according to BCR files.

Throw in the fact that Hall is ranked No. 2 in Class 2A and all bets are off.

to go this Friday and are looking forward to keep the wins coming.”

Hall junior Chris Hammonds is equally as excited to play the game.

“Last year we went to Princeton and beat them, and they’re going to come to our place and try to do the same thing to us,” he said. “We have to come ready to play and get that 4-0.”

Hall coach Randy Tieman said he doesn’t have to tell his team what this week means.

Can’t wait

“It doesn’t get better than this,” PHS senior RB/ LB Jacob Smith said. “I’ve been thinking about this game for a long time and it’s definitely been circled on the calender since the beginning of the season.

We are both heading into this game with a full head of steam and I think both teams know what this game means.

Tiger Style from 1989 will always run wild I had the good pleasure to attend the Princeton Class of 1990’s 25th reunion over the weekend, hosted by class ring-leader Jay Alter. They were a great group of kids and now adults. My, how they could play football and have a good time doing it.

Talking to those guys Saturday evening, I could still picture them how they looked when Tiger Style roamed wild in ‘89.

Kevin Hieronymus HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS

Chad Hamel looks like he could still race away from the field, like he did in the big Alleman playoff game victory at Bry-

ant Field. In fact, he was wearing his old No. 1 blue jersey and was looking good in it. He did offer that he probably couldn’t fit in the pads these days.

I saw old fullback Sean Schickel and could see him still busting through the defensive line. It was Schickel who offered my favorite quotes of the season.

When the Tigers rocked Alleman that day, he remarked, “It used to be, ‘Oh my God it’s Alle-

man.’ Now it’s, ‘Oh My God, it’s Princeton.’”

He also talked about borrowing a 1989 Tom Petty hit song that the Tigers were “Running Down a Dream.”

Doug Bruyn has been the standard of quarterbacks at Princeton the past quarter of a century with his game-breaking speed and strong arm. I can still see him shaking and baking on the field.

The old linemen looked like, well, old linemen, Brian Drake, Chris “Box” Carr, Bill Kissick, Pat “Murph” Cater, and I’m sure could provide a good block or two.

Murph’s proving to be quite the rock and roll star, the lead singer for his group, Snap Shot, that performed for his class reunion. No one was surprised

Game

Battles of the unbeatens

From Page 13 “The kids know the rivalry. It’s what it is every year. Don’t have to say much to get them up and ready to go,” Tieman said.

“I know they’ve (PHS) been looking forward to this senior class and rightfully so. They look awfully good on offense. And we have a nice team right now and everything’s working out for us. I look for it to be almost like a playoff atmosphere Friday.”

“Any time two teams that have had success come together and compete it’s going to be a fun night, that’s for sure,” fourth-year Tiger head coach Jesse Snyder said.

This is the game the Tigers will surely have to prove themselves. Their three wins thus far have come over opponents that have won only two games between them — Riverdale, Morrison and Kewanee — and those two were by the Boilermakers defeating the others.

“I think it’s an opportunity to see where we’re at and see how we match up against a good team,” Snyder said. “We’ve played some good teams the last few weeks, but Hall’s got many dynamics offensively, not only on the ground, but in the air. It will be exciting to see that.”

Hall has been tested in the early going. They scored a win over previously No. 1 ranked Rockridge 26-13 in Week 2.

They’ve also defeated Fulton 21-7 and beat St. Bede 27-13 in last week’s rivalry game with the Bruins.

“Our schedule has been pretty good so far. I think we’ve played three quality football teams, and I think that just makes you a better team as the season

It’s a big week for Bureau County football. Who are you picking, Princeton or Hall? See below how our prognosticators are picking the Game of the Week. We all missed that 95-28 Rockford Lutheran win over Dixon. Ouch!

goes on,” Tieman said.

Keys to the game To be successful, Tieman said the Red Devils have to “establish the line of scrimmage like we have last few games, have to have a mix on offense, and defensively, we just have to play our assignments and make the tackles.”

Likewise, Snyder said, the Tigers have to stay focused on the opponent on hand with their ultimate goals in mind, and make sure they do the little things to be successful.

“In my opinion, it’s going to be the team that’s most physical and makes the fewest mistakes. In games like these, the team who makes the fewer mistakes is usually the team who comes out on top,” Snyder said.

Smith adds to his coach, saying, “We know it will be a physical game that is

Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com

So both the Hall Red Devils and Princeton Tigers are undefeated when they collide on the Nesti Stadium turf Friday Night in Spring Valley. It’s only happened three times in the history of the rivalry dating back to 1915 with at least two games played, according to BCR files.

The last time the rivals were undefeated was 2002, both coming in at 4-0 when the Tigers edged the Red Devils 21-20 in overtime.

PHS went on to reach the 4A semifinals.

In 1989, both teams came in 5-0, Hall ranked No. 2 in 3A and Princeton No. 3. The Tigers scored a 14-7 win and returned to Nesti Stadium to deliver a 13-7 playoff blow on the way to reaching the state finals.

The only previous time the Bureau County rivals met when both stood 3-0 was 1993. Hall beat Princeton 19-8 and would later end the Tigers’ season in the playoffs 21-13.

The 1997 season came close when the 5-1 Red Devils beat the 6-0 Tigers 20-7.

In a reverse twist, both teams met in 2011 at 0-6.

Tigers won 33-28.

• Quick counts: The Route 6 rivals will meet for the 85th time, the Red Devils holding a decisive 53-30-1 series edge. The series dates back to 1915 when the Tigers won 30-6. They did not play from 1929-34 and not continuously until Hall joined the now defunct NCIC in 1942.

The teams did not meet in 2012 when Hall got a jump start joining the Three Rivers (then Big Rivers). … Fans attending Friday’s game should enter the Hall campus on the west lane next to the new school. The new parking lot where the old school once stood remains under construction.

Like Rockridge, this will mark BV’s first game against Orion, which was moved to the Storm’s side of the TRAC this season. Orion joined the Three Rivers in 2013.

Junior wideout Braidy Shipp was able to answer the bell and come up big with four catches for 74 yards, including a 24-yard TD reception. The Bruins can not afford to take the winless Tigers lightly if they want to maintain a good standing

for the playoffs. Eustice said, “We are hungry for a win and I expect us to play hard again Friday. Sherrard is a very good 0-3 football team. We need to be ready to play.” ... Shipp has 215 yards and 2 TDs receptions on the season. Senior RB Baylee Hopps leads the ground game (45305, 3 TDs) with QB Bryant Eustice throwing for 350 yards and 3 TDs.

Storm From Page 13 opposing squad; things that don’t always show up in the state book.

“We’ve been talking every day about improving every day. It’s important for us as a team not to let other people define us, and win or lose, we play with heart and always continue to compete,” Bosnich said.

BV gave up huge leads early in each game but fought their way back to within two during the first game at 11-13 and grabbed their only lead of the night in the second game at 12-11 after erasing

a five-point deficit. Each time the Storm made a run in the match the Chargers turned to their senior middle hitter, Ashton Lee, who turned it up a notch and showed why she is one of the most talented hitters in the TRAC conference.

Storm freshman Saige Barnett is making the most of her call-up to varsity play, leading the Storm with seven service points and also added two kills and six digs. Junior Casey Mecum added four service points (two aces) and also had five digs.

“She’s a good player and I believe the conference is starting to see her a little more and they are recognizing just how good of a

player she can be. Once she got going she was really difficult to control,” Bosnich said of Barnett.

The Storm will welcome the Amboy Clippers to Manlius at 7 p.m. Thursday.

“The girls are really coming together and we’re just getting to the point in the season that they are becoming comfortable with one another on the court,” Bosnich said. “I saw it tonight on a couple plays after getting blocked that we worked together to continue the plays off the dig, and we’re just steadily working towards our goal of improvement every time we step on the court.”

to see their old classmate in this role, remembering how he’d sing in the showers with his boom box blasting.

Kirk Stevens, pound for pound one of the hardest-hitting linebackers I’ve ever seen, was the minister of defense for the Tigers. Now he’s a minister.

Kipp Wahlgren is well-chiseled from years of life in the Navy. He looks like he could still make that key sack against rival Hall to finish off the Tigers’ playoff 13-7 win on the road. It’s no wonder Tiger coach Randy Swinford quit wanting to wrestle Wahlgren in practice when he came back to visit from college.

The boys were happy to see old line coach Steve Kiser, who famously coined the team theme song, “Tiger Style Running Wild.” I kept waiting for him to go play the guitar and sing with Murph.

I have covered many a good football team in Bureau County over the past 29 years. There have been very good teams such as the state champs from Hall (‘95, ‘01) and Bureau Valley (‘05) and runner-ups from the same pair.

The Tigers, the best public school team in 3A (six classes) in 1989, rank right up there with any of them. They had top talent at every position up and down the roster. Unbelievable talent.

Brian Church, retired PHS guidance counselor and former Tigers offensive coordinator, admits coaching that team was pretty easy.

They were also pretty easy to follow

Fairgrounds from 2 to 3:30 p.m. The cost to participate is $45, which includes instruction and all needed equipment.

Registration forms are available at http:// web.extension.illinois.edu or at the University of Illinois Extension, 850 Thompson St. Princeton, IL. Registration must be completed by Thursday, Sept. 17. For more information, call 815-875-2878.

and admire. They brought the whole Princeton community together as I’ve never seen it in my 29-year beat covering PHS sports. When the Tigers decisively took down undefeated and heavily favored Aurora Marmion 35-7 in the semifinals, Swinford called it a win for Princeton, Ill., not just PHS. I was glad to see the old news clips from scrapbooks Saturday that showed the old BCR Sports Editor picked the Tigers to win that game 23-13, even though most others did not.

My old pal Daryn Foley from the Class of ‘90, once told me, jokingly, at a past class reunion that this team made me in this town when I was just starting out. I didn’t disagree.

Curtis Odell and Nate Norman, a pair of future Tigers coming up behind the ‘89ers, told me they still look in awe at that team when they saw my pictures from the reunion, and always looked up to them coming up the Tiger ranks.

They were a team to emulate for sure.

Perhaps this year’s team can one day be looked upon with such high regard.

Time will tell.

One thing for sure, the 1989 Tigers football team has withstood the test of time. The town will always talk about that team. Always.

• Tiger trivia: Do you remember who the starters were on the 1989 Tigers squad? I want to test your memory. Send me an email and let’s see who remembers Tiger Style Running Wild best.

Health department releases scores The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department makes routine and unannounced visits each month to various food service establishments in Bureau and Putnam counties to inspect the operations.

Health inspectors use an identical scorecard at each facility, where they check for health code compliance in 45 areas. Each area carries a rating from one to five, with five being the most critical.

Inspectors check the entire operations of the facility in 14 different categories, such as food protection, personnel, and garbage and refuse disposal.

Beginning with a score of 100 points, the health inspector deducts one to five points for every violation.

The final total is the facility’s inspection report score.

A passing food inspection score is 65 or above.

At 65, the Bureau/Putnam County ordinance allows the health department to close an establishment, but a score doesn’t have to be that low for the department to close it. It depends on the number of critical and non-critical violations and the type of violations. Certain combinations can cre-

ate a domino effect for food borne outbreaks.

All inspection reports are a matter of public record and can be seen at the Bureau County Health Department in Princeton. All evaluations were conducted June 1-30.

Federal funds headed to QC Airport MOLINE — U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) and U.S. Representative Cheri Bustos (D-IL) announced $2,142,944 in federal funding for infrastructure improvements and upgrades at Quad City International Airport. The grants were awarded through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration.

“Airports and reliable air service are crucial to the economic success of Illinois communities large and small,” said Durbin. “If we are going to be a great leader in the world economy, we need an infrastructure to support it. This investment in the Quad City International Airport will allow the airport to continue transporting

passengers safely and efficiently.”

“The Quad City International Airport is a vital economic driver and transportation hub for our region,” said Bustos, a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. “Today’s grant will help improve air travel security and serve as a down payment on our region’s long term economic well-being.”

Of the funding announced, the Metropolitan Airport Authority of Rock Island County has been awarded $1,751,100 to support security projects and enhance safety at Quad City International Airport and $391,844 to remove tree obstructions by the runways.

‘Letters About Literature’ contest SPRINGFIELD — Secretary of State and State Librarian Jesse White is urging students in Grades 4 through 12 to enter the 2016 “Letters About Literature” contest — a national reading and writing competition sponsored by the Illinois Center for the Book.

“Letters About Literature” invites students to read a book, poem or play of their choice and write a letter to the author about how the work changed their life or view of the world. Students can enter on their own or through their schools, libraries or other youth organizations.

“Every year thousands of students in Illinois enjoy participating in this inspiring competition,”

said White. “Illinois has had more entries than any other state for eight years in a row. Anyone who has read past letters can see how literature inspires and touches the lives of our young people. I encourage all our students to take part in Letters About Literature, and I hope their participation leads to a lifetime of reading.”

There are three levels of participation: Level I for Grades 4-6, Level II for Grades 7-8 and Level III for Grades 9-12. One Illinois winner will be selected for each level and receive a $200 cash award. Teachers of the winning students will receive a $100 cash award to purchase materials for their school library. Winners and

teachers will be invited to an awards ceremony in Springfield. The state winners’ letters will be forwarded for national judging. In last year’s competition, Illinois Level III winner, Aidan Kingwell, a student at Fenwick High School in Oak Park, was selected as the Level III national winner.

The deadline to enter the competition is Friday, Dec. 4, for Level III, and Monday, Jan. 11, 2016, for Levels I and II. State winners will be announced in April 2016.

For more information about the competition, contact Bonnie Matheis at 217-558-2065 or bmatheis@ ilsos.net. Information also is available at http://illinoiscenterforthebook.org.

‘Walk to Remember’ on Sept. 27 in Peru PERU — The River Valley chapter of The Compassionate Friends invites bereaved parents, siblings, relatives and friends to join them at their Walk to Remember at 10 a.m.

Sunday, Sept. 27, at Baker Lake in Peru.

Following the walk, there will be a balloon release along with games for children. A $10 donation per person is requested and children under 10 are free.

As the world’s largest self help bereavement organization, The Compassionate Friends offers friendship, understanding and hope

to families that have experienced the death of a child at any age of any cause. There are more than 700 chapters in the United States including all 50 states. The local event is patterned after The Compassionate Friends National Walk to Remember this year held in Dallas, Texas, in July.

“You do not need to be a member of The Compassionate Friends to join with us and you do not need to walk around the lake,” said chapter leader Rita Studzinski. “We welcome everyone who wants to join hands and hearts in remembering all children who have died too soon.”

Anyone interested in walking can download the registration form at www.RiverValleyTCF.com (events)

or register that day. If you cannot walk or join us and want to pledge support, there is also a form on the web site for doing that.

RVP will present ‘Church Basement Ladies’ in October in Henry HENRY — River Valley Players will present “Church Basement Ladies” Oct. 17, 18, 23, 24 and 25 at St John’s XXIII Community Center in Henry.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the show, known over the years for its hilarious antics and downto-earth humor. Audiences from coast to coast continue to fall in love with the residents of the church basement kitchen. With each installment, these women have managed to serve up rib-tickling changes in the church kitchen without spilling a drop of their coffee.

The cast features Camilla Russell in the role of the widow, “Mrs. Lars Snustad” (Vivian), the matriarch of the kitchen; Cyndy Bruch as the able-bodied farm wife and jack-of-all-trades,“Mrs. Gilmer Gilmerson” (Mavis); Jane Knapp in the role of “Mrs. Elroy Engelson”

(Karin), the best cook in the kitchen; Carrie Schwiderski as Karin’s daughter “Signe Engelson”; and also features Ron Friedrich as “Pastor E. L. Gunderson” who performs his usual pastoral duties.

Complete with twelve songs, “Church Basement Ladies” is a celebration of the church basement kitchen and the women who work there. The production shows them handle a record breaking Christmas dinner, the funeral of a dear friend, a Hawaiian Easter fundraiser and a steaming hot July wedding. They stave off potential disasters, share and debate recipes, instruct the young, and keep the pastor on due course while thoroughly enjoying, (and tolerating) each other.

Saturday and Sunday performances are dinner theater package shows — tickets are $30, which include the show and a meal featur-

ing a salad bar, buffet dinner, roll and butter, coffee and tea, dessert and three beverages. Friday, Oct. 23, is the show only — tickets are $17. That night refreshments and beverages can be purchased prior to the performance and during intermission.

Tickets for all the dinner/ theatre performances must be reserved by Tuesday, Oct. 13, and Oct. 20 for the following weekend performances. No tickets can be purchased at the door for the dinner theatre combination performances.

On Oct. 17 and 24, doors open at 6 p.m. with dinner served at 6:30 p.m., followed by the show. On Oct. 18 and Oct. 25, doors open at noon with dinner served at 12:30 p.m., followed by the show. On Oct. 23, doors open at 7 p.m., and the show is at 7:30 p.m. Contact Judy Schwiderski for tickets 309-364-3403.

The contest is in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October. The subject of the posters is what love means to you. The deadline for submissions is Monday, Sept. 28.

For more information and guidelines, call Trisha Schafer or Corry Engelbrecht at 815-872-0087 or email tschafer@freedomhouseillinois.com or cengelbrecht@freedomhouseillinois.com.

With school already started, we’ll all be packing lunches for the kids and for ourselves. Here are some recipes for bar cookies that always go great in a lunchbox.

Judy Dyke

Fudgy S’mores Brownies 1 1/3 cups butter, softened 2 1/2 cups sugar 4 eggs 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup baking cocoa 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup Golden Grahams, coarsely crushed 1 3/4 cups miniature marshmallows 4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In a bowl, mix the flour, cocoa and salt: gradually beat into creamed nurture, spread into a greased 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs (do not overtake). Preheat the broiler. Sprinkle baked brownies with cereal and marshmallows, broil 5 to 6 inches from heat 30 to 45 seconds or until marshmallows are golden brown. Immediately sprinkle with chopped chocolate.

Cover with foil and let stand 5 minutes or until the chocolate begins to melt.

Remove foil and cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars.

Maple-Pumpkin Pie Bars 1 package 2 layer size yellow cake mix 4 eggs, divided 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1 8-ounce package cream cheese 1 15-ounce can pumpkin 1 3.4-ounce package Jell-O Pumpkin spice instant pudding 1/3 cup milk 3 tablespoons maple syrup 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 envelope Dream Whip whipped topping mix Line a 13-by-9-inch pan with foil; spray with cooking spray. Blend cake mix, 1 egg and butter. Press into bottom of pan. Beat cream cheese, brown sugar, remaining eggs, pumpkin and pudding mix with mixer until blended. Pour over crust. Bake 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Mix whipped topping mix with milk and syrup in large bowl with mixer on low speed until blended. Beat on high speed until mixture forms stiff peaks. Spread onto dessert. Sprinkle with cinnamon and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Fresh Raspberry Bars 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks) cut into 1-inch chunks 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour Softened butter to brush sides of foil 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam or preserves 1 pint (2 cups) fresh raspberries 1/2 of an 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened 4 ounces goat cheese or 4 ounces cream cheese 1/2 cup sugar 1 tablespoon flour 1 large egg 1 large egg yolk 2 tablespoons shredded lemon peel (zest) 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon vanilla Powdered sugar Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 13-by-9inch baking pan with a 24-inch long sheet of foil. Leave extra foil extending over ends. In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium to high

speed, until it just begins to blend and soften, slightly about 30 seconds. Add brown sugar and salt; beat on low speed until incorporated, 30 seconds to 1 minute (you’re not trying to cream it, just mix it in). With mixer off add the 2 cups flour. Beat on low speed until flour is mixed. Increase speed to medium. Mix until ingredients form cohesive dough.

Break dough into small chunks and distribute in prepared pan. With your fingers, press dough into an even layer. Bake 20 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Lightly brush sides of foil with softened butter to keep filling from sticking Spread jam evenly over crust. Sprinkle evenly with raspberries. With a lemon zester remove peel from lemon. Do this right before baking. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and goat cheese with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Mix in sugar and 1 tablespoon flour. With mixer running, add egg, egg yolk, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla. Beat until smooth.

In another bowl, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in egg, egg white, sour cream and vanilla and mix until blended. Add flour mixture and stir until just combined. With greased hands, gently press dough into pan. Bake until the edges are lightly golden, 17 to 19 minutes. Cool completely then frost and decorate. Use the parchment overhang to lift from pan.

Slice and serve. Makes 20 bars.
