Weathering the weather 2015 harvest is ahead of last year

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

It seems the Illinois Valley has lucked out this autumn season with dryer-than-normal conditions and warmer temperatures that have lingered well into October.

The near-perfect weather conditions have allowed family and friends to enjoy the outdoors just a little longer this year, as many have had plenty of opportunities to take part in the traditional autumn activities that are brought on by the season.

The dryer-than-normal conditions have also

allowed area farmers to harvest their crops at a much quicker speed this year, compared to last year.

According to the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), which released its last crop progress report on Monday, Oct. 19, about 85 percent of corn crops have been harvested in the state. That was a much higher percentage compared to last year at this time, when only 42 percent of crops had been harvested.

NASS reported the corn condition to be 5 percent very poor; 10 percent poor, 29 percent fair, 43 percent good and 13 percent excellent.

As far as soybeans, 85 percent of crops have been

harvested in the state. Also, a major increase from 2014 during this time, when only 36 percent of soybeans were harvested.

While many farmers continue to finish harvesting their final crops this week, the area is gearing up for a major downturn in temperatures.

According to meteorologist Eric Sorenson of WQAD News Channel 8, rain showers, which are expected to begin today, Tuesday, Oct. 27, and continue into Wednesday, Oct. 28, will cool temperatures down.

While it won’t be a constant rainfall, the on-andoff rain pattern could add up to three-quarters of an inch in some areas, according to Sorenson. Temperatures will drop down to the mid-50s and even

A scary but safe Halloween Professionals offer tips on how to keep your trick-ortreaters out of harm’s way B y E ric E ngel eengel@bcrnews.com

When it comes to Halloween festivities, the costumes should be scary, not the sweets or the streets.

The approach to safe trick-or-treating has always been centered around keeping an eye on the children, and that practice should be continued, said Princeton Police Department Lt. Scott Underwood. It’s the parent’s responsibility to make sure their children’s treats are harmless, and hopefully a pinch healthy.

“Kids should always go the houses of people they are comfortable with, so they’re in a familiar setting,” Underwood said, adding the designated trick-or-treat hours in Princeton this year will be from 5:30 to 7 p.m. “Don’t go to a stranger’s house.”

Underwood also recommended children stay in well-lit areas, using safety lights, flashlights and street lights to improve their visibility. Diana Rawlings, public health administrator at the Bureau/Putnam County Health Department, said reflective tape or gear on children’s outfits will help them be seen.

Little Free Libraries offer big rewards Worldwide movement arrives in Princeton

By D ave C ook dcook@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Once upon a time, a man living in the small town of Hudson, Wis., built a model of a schoolhouse in honor of his mother, a former school teacher. He mounted it on a post in his front yard and filled it with books. His friends and neighbors loved it, so he built

many more and gave them away. With each one he included a sign which said “Free Books.”

That was in 2009, and the man was Todd Bol. His little libraries were seen by Rick Brooks, of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, during a meeting in which they were to discuss possible social projects. Together they saw an opportunity to achieve something for the common good.

Inspired by the philanthropic efforts of Andrew Carnegie, who used his immense wealth to support thousands of public libraries; the tireless work of librarian Miss Lutie Stearns, who, between 1895 and 1914, went to nearly 1,400 locations in Wisconsin with traveling little libraries; “Take a book, leave a book” collections in coffee shops; and other grassroots projects, the two men began work on what

Illinois’ mass exodus: New IRS data shows the state lost one resident and $50,000 in taxable income every 6.5 minutes in 2013 Illinois outmigration sets a new record: IRS reports that in 2013, Illinois lost more than 81,000 taxpayers to other states – and they took with them $4.1 billion in taxable income CHICAGO – The rate at which people are leaving the state of Illinois has reached an all-time high, according to an Illinois Policy Institute analysis of new data from the IRS. During 2013, one resident and $50,000 in annual, taxable income moved out of Illinois every 6.5 minutes. These figures are on net, and are calculated after taking into account all people who moved into the state.

During 2013, Illinois lost more than 81,000 residents and $4.1 billion in annual, taxable income – making 2013 the worst year for outmigration in Illinois history, according to the IRS data. Economics experts at the Illinois Policy Institute, who have been tracking state-to-state migration patterns for the past five years, say the IRS data shows why resistance to reform and a renewed push for higher income taxes is so dangerous to the vitality of the state.

“The new IRS data shows people fleeing the state faster than ever before. People are voting with their feet against Illinois’ legacy of high taxes and poor jobs climate,” said Michael Lucci, vice president of policy at the nonpartisan Illinois Policy Institute. “High property taxes means people are struggling to stay in their homes. Many can’t find jobs because of the state’s poor economy. What’s the result? Residents are looking to other states and seeing greener pastures. This is a clarion call for lawmakers: The way things have operated in Illinois is forcing people to cross the border. It’s not working. We need a dramatic change. It is extremely clear that Illinois needs to change course and enact major economic reforms.”

Here are some key findings from the Illinois Policy Institute’s analysis of the new IRS data: Outmigration from Illinois has been evident since the IRS started tracking this information in 1990, but it accelerated dramatically after the state raised income taxes in 2011.

The IRS data showed that: • In 2011, Illinois lost 49,728 taxpayers plus dependents and $2.5 billion in taxable income, on net, to other states.

• In 2012, Illinois lost 66,922 taxpayers plus dependents and $3.8 billion in taxable income, on net, to other states.

• In 2013, Illinois lost 81,117 taxpayers plus dependents and $4.1 billion in taxable income, on net, to other states.

Illinois lost residents on a net basis to 45 of the 50 states, including every neighboring state and every other state in the Midwest.

Texas had the biggest net gain of Illinoisans; the IRS reported that Illinois lost 14,739 people on net to Texas in 2013.

Illinois suffered a net loss of 6,575 Illinoisans to Indiana in 2013.

Illinois suffered a net loss of 4,757 Illinoisans to Wisconsin in 2013.

Illinois suffered a net loss of 2,262 Illinoisans to Iowa in 2013.

The Illinois Policy Institute’s analysis is available online at http://illin.is/1Ru7QeG. The Illinois Policy Institute is a nonpartisan research and education organization dedicated to making Illinois a beacon for liberty and prosperity for all citizens. As a leading voice for economic liberty and government accountability, the Institute engages policymakers, opinion leaders and citizens on the state and local level by promoting free market principles and liberty-based public policy initiatives for a better Illinois.

Madigan calls on feds to preserve rights for families of nursing home residents 16 AGs urge Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to prohibit binding arbitration clauses in long-term care contracts

CHICAGO — Attorney General Lisa Madigan and 15 other Attorneys General urged the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to prohibit pre-dispute arbitration clauses in long-term care facility contracts, saying their use erodes the rights of families and gives them little bargaining power when disputes occur. Madigan and her counterparts from 14 other states and the District of Columbia recommended the stronger consumer protections in comments submitted to CMS, which solicited feedback on whether binding arbitration agreements should be prohibited in long-term care facility contracts.

In the comments, the Attorneys General noted that when individuals enter a nursing home or other long-term care facility, those individuals or family members acting on their behalf are often making a significant health care decision under stressful circumstances. Because of that, they are unlikely to be able to anticipate future disputes and make an informed decision about the resolution of such disputes.

“When nursing home contracts include a provision requiring binding arbitration for future disputes, they are taking advantage of families at a time that they are making one of the most difficult health care decisions they will face,” Madigan said. “Those families may not understand they are being asked – in advance – to give up the right to be heard in court if they have issues with the care their loved ones receive, even if their loved ones are abused or neglected in the nursing home.”

In many instances, a nursing home resident or family member discovers the existence of a binding arbitration clause in their nursing home contract only after a dispute or tragic event occurs. The clause typically requires that claims against the nursing home or long-term care facility – even claims involving abuse or neglect – must be brought before a private arbitration provider that is chosen by the facility, prohibiting consumers from filing a lawsuit. Requiring residents and families to sign such clauses upon admission to a nursing home or long-term care facility prevents families from evaluating and deciding how to address specific disputes as they arise.

“Pre-dispute binding arbitration agreements in general can be procedurally unfair to consumers, and can jeopardize one of the fundamental rights of Americans: the

right to be heard and seek judicial redress for our claims,” the Attorneys General wrote. “This is especially true when consumers are making the difficult decisions regarding the long-term care of loved ones. These contractual provisions may be neither voluntary nor readily understandable for most consumers.”

The position of the Attorneys General is consistent with that of the American Arbitration Association, which determined in 2003 that it would not administer healthcare arbitrations between patients and service providers related to medical services, unless all parties agreed to arbitration after the dispute occurred.

The use of binding arbitration agreements has other negative consequences for consumers, including lower accountability of the long-term care industry; decreased monetary awards when an arbitrator finds in the consumer’s favor, even in cases of severe negligence or mistreatment; and a reduced incentive for facilities to change unlawful or harmful practices.

A Consumer Financial Protection Bureau study of arbitration agreements in financial services contracts found that consumers were largely unaware about whether their contracts contained an arbitration clause, and that it restricted their ability to sue in court.

Joining Madigan in submitting the comments were the Attorneys General of California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and the District of Columbia.

The comments can be found on Attorney General Madigan’s website, www.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov.

Halloween From Page 1 “You should supervise anyone under the age of 12, and if you can’t, make sure they travel in groups,” Rawlings said, adding motorists need to slow down when traveling on Halloween because children will be darting in and out of traffic.

When it comes to the innards of Spiderman’s plastic pumpkin, Rawlings said parents should always inspect their children’s treats.

It’s also a good idea to have them eat before their case study on doorbell efficiency, so they aren’t downing all their candy before they even get home.

“Discard choking hazards and any homemade items unless you know the person who made them,” Rawlings said.

Underwood has a daughter with a peanut allergy and said parents should keep those things in mind when they’re discarding candy — or hiding it on top of the fridge for themselves — their children might be affected by.

“Make sure they don’t have access to anything they don’t need,” Underwood said, although according to a recent Delta Dental of Illinois survey, that tactic won’t

result in a shortage of goodies, as more households are planning on handing out candy this Halloween while fewer parents plan on “borrowing” their child’s chocolate bars after the fact.

Rawlings mentioned a great opportunity called Operation Gratitude, where different dentists in the area buy back candy from kids a week after Halloween in exchange for prizes.

Each child gets a prize per pound of candy donated, and Rawlings said the candy is then sent to troops overseas in an effort to boost their morale and sweeten their experience.

Sorenson said parts of the upper Midwest could see its first snowflakes of the season including Duluth, Rhinelander and Marquette, which could see 1-3 inches of snow by Thursday afternoon.

Sorenson said the weekend could see more rainfall, however, there is a possibility it will clear by the time trickor-treaters hit the streets Halloween evening on Saturday.

• Examine treats for tampering and only keep factory-wrapped treats.

Limit the amount of treats you eat. (That goes for you too, parents!)

Stay on sidewalks whenever possible, or on the far edge of the road facing traffic, and always walk instead of running from house to house.

Wear well-fitting masks, costumes and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips or falls.

Never walk near lit candles, and wear flame-resistant costumes.

It’s good news for those who dislike the cold weather winter months, as the outlook is calling for warmer than average temperatures in the Midwest, as well as Northeast and West Coast portions of the country. The outlook is calling for cooler than average winter temperatures for the Southern and East Coast portions of the country.

Weather experts are saying El Nino is expected to play a large role in the temperatures this winter. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported the El Nino is expected to impact the position of the pacific jet stream, therefore influencing the weather and climate patterns.

Little Free Library From Page 1 would soon span the globe.

By 2010, they had a clear focus and had given the movement the official name of Little Free Libraries, which is what more and more people had been calling them. Its mission, to promote literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide and to build a sense of community as we share skills, creativity and wisdom across generations.

It continued to grow quickly through word-ofmouth and began to outpace Bol’s ability to create them. The organization kept up with the increased interest by attracting many enthusiastic volunteers and stewards who helped keep up with the demand.

By 2011, with nearly 400 of them having been created by the end of that year, the group was receiving worldwide attention.

This was also the year they became a formal, non-profit organization. Their initial goal was to build 2,510 libraries, as many as Carnegie had built, and then to keep going.

In communities which have supported the movement, the little libraries have often become popular destinations during walks and bicycle rides.

As they travel from library to library, it encourages neighborhood interaction. Book collections can change rapidly as books are taken and dropped off, and everyone looks forward to seeing what’s available at each location.

There are estimated to be nearly 25,000 Little Free Libraries located throughout the world. They’re often uniquely decorated and can appear in many imaginative forms. They can be found in front of homes, businesses, parks and other public spaces. They span the Western Hemisphere, Europe, Africa, Australia, India and Asia. Now, they’re in Princeton.

Four months ago, co-founder Rick Brooks moved to Princeton, and he brought his enthusiasm for the little libraries with

Little Free Libraries offer readers an opportunity to take a book and to leave a book for others to read, with no financial obligations attached. him. Together with the Princeton Public Library, they’ve began preparations to make the Little Free Libraries appear throughout Princeton next spring.

“It would be wonderful to see local groups take on the challenge of promoting reading, neighborliness, generosity and other civic issues through Little Free Libraries. Literally and figuratively, such initiatives have put quite a few communities on the map. They also open doors to other strategies to promote early childhood education and lifelong reading habits,” Brooks said.

Through autumn and winter, the library will be hosting events which will inform and assist those interested in stewarding or sponsoring their own Little Free Library.

“I think it’s a great way to promote literacy and community togetherness. We have a lot of talented people in this town, and everybody’s interested in seeing how they express themselves, especially when the topic is reading,” said Princeton Public Library Director Julie Wayland.

Many local individuals and groups have already pledged support of this new arrival to our city by providing financial support, construction, or by showing interest in being a steward.

Stewards are responsible for making sure their little library remains in good

condition and stocked with books.

“It’s the kind of project I like because it will take whatever you want to give, whether it’s time, money, expertise, or all of them.

You may want to sponsor one and provide the money to have one built; you may want to build your own; you may want to commission an artist to decorate one for you; or if you’d love to have one in front of your home, but don’t have the money or know-how to build one, well, that’s fine. Just come to the library and put your name down as having an interest in being a steward or sponsor,” said Margaret Martinkus, curator for Princeton Public Library.

The library is planning a reception in March to showcase the designs of the new little libraries before they’re taken to their new homes throughout the city.

There’s also a plan to have a silent auction during the showcase for any available libraries. Each one will be registered through the official website and will receive an official Little Free Library sign with a charter number.

“It’s encouraging literacy; that’s the big thing,” Martinkus said.

For more information and to view examples of the creative possibilities of the Little Free Library visit Princeton Public Library or www.littlefreelibrary.org.

Obituaries Larry Fundell

Orin Heuer

LA CROSSE, Wis. — Larry James Fundell of La Crosse, Wis., formerly Apple Valley, Calif., and Princeton, Ill., peacefully and gracefully took his mortal leave in the arms of his wife and children on Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2015, at his second home, Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center in La Crosse, Wis. He had to leave us to photograph the reunion of his lifetime with longtime missed friends and family while the lighting was exactly perfect.

Larry entered this realm on Nov. 5, 1948, Larry in Princeton to parents Darrell and Elizabeth Fundell Fundell. He earned his Bachelor’s of Science in Medicine and Doctorate of Medicine from Northwestern University and Northwestern University School of Medicine in 1973 after an internship in Kalamazoo, Mich.

Larry continued on to complete the Radiology Residency Program at Stanford University School of Medicine in 1976, and later a subsequent fellowship in Interventional Radiology at the University of California-San Diego in 1992.

Larry was a lieutenant in the U.S. Naval Reserves from 1972 to 1976. He was also an active member of the Radiological Society of North America, Northwestern University Medical School Alumni Association and American College of Radiology.

Larry was a fervent advocate for the continuation of learning in all aspects of life, but none so much as the practice of medicine and healing. He collaborated on several medical publications, and his patience for teaching and fervor for growth in the science of medicine is a legacy that will live on through the many fellow physicians, physician and technical assistants, nurses and medical staff he called family in his practices in California and Wisconsin. Larry retired from Gundersen Lutheran Health System in La Crosse, Wis., in 2013 after a 16-year career there.

Larry married the sunshine of his soul, Dawn Marie Wisong, on May 22, 1982. He would, without hesitation, claim this as the most successful achievement of his life.

Their love has been described most perfectly as a love that overthrows life, ungovernable and unequivocal. It transcends the traditional boundaries of time and existence, burning infinitely in the light of one another.

Larry is the hero for his surviving six children whom he loved immensely, Jason Fundell, Nathan Fundell, Dustin (Christine) Fundell, Leiah (Cory) Bowen, Joshua Fundell and Jonathon Fundell. He was, and always will be, the great Papa Bear to his six grandchildren, Kaitlin, Dylan, Amorie, Lily, Delaina and Dean, and those to follow. His bedtime stories will be told and retold, and his Santa Claus beard is unparalleled as the tool for tickles.

The daily routine is forever changed for the smallest Fundell, Molly Mae, whom Larry loved with every bit of himself and cherished the bedtime ritual as much as she.

Larry will be greatly missed by his younger brother, Ronald Fundell; his sister-in-law, Cindy Fundell; his brother-in-law, Steve Matthews; his wife, Michelle Matthews, and his most favorite nephew, Scott (Kelly) Matthews, and their daughters, Caroline and Ryan.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Darrell and Betty (Rooney) Fundell; and his dear younger sister, Paula J Matthews (Fundell).

Photography was a lifelong passion for Larry and he was a proud award-winning member of the La Crosse Area Camera Club. His artistic gift had reached a peak of brilliance in his retirement years, and he gifted this world with some of the most exquisite images ever captured.

Larry actively chose to live a life full of love and grace through kindness in every encounter he had; thus, in lieu of flowers, Larry would request that you do an unexpected, unsolicited, anonymous act of kindness in his memory. Any donations can also be directed to the Wounded Warrior Project. Mostly, we invite you to share your chapter of his story with us, to laugh and weep and remember our partner, friend, brother, father, colleague, artist and healer.

Larry’s celebration of life will formally begin Tuesday, Oct. 27, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Blaschke and Schneider Funeral Home, 1501 West Ave. South, continuing Wednesday with visitation at 9:30 a.m. and funeral services at 10:30 a.m. at Christ Episcopal Church, 111 Ninth St. North, La Crosse, Wis., and thereon continue indefinitely. The Rev. Canon Dr. Patrick P. Augustine will officiate with burial to be held at Oak Grove Cemetery following the services.

Online condolences may be made at www.blaschkeschneider.com.

LABELLE, Fla. — Orin C. Heuer, 81, a longtime resident of Labelle, Fla., formerly of Princeton, passed away peacefully at his home on Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2015.

Orin was born Jan. 4, 1934, in Bureau Township, the son of the late Fred T. and Dorothy (Anderson) Heuer.

He worked in agricultural sales for Swift Feeds, Fasco and Kent Feeds Ohio HatchOrin Heuer ery in Illinois prior to moving to Florida and becoming employed at the Oxbow Golf Resort in Labelle, Fla. He has three children, Mark (Mary) Heuer of La Grange, Dee Ann Heuer of Princeton and Dennis (Sue) Heuer of Prospect Heights.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Fred T. Heuer and Dorothy E. (Anderson) Heuer Forristall; a brother, Roger Heuer; and two sisters, Elinor Rici and Dorothy Anderson.

Visitation will be Thursday, Oct. 29, at the Garland Funeral Home, 14733 Illinois Highway 92, Walnut, from 9:30 a.m. until the time of the funeral service at 10 a.m.

• The ROE conducted the life safety inspection last week.

The school has one small issue that had to be corrected this year. There were some posters and wrapping paper on the top shelf in the grade school teacher’s storage closet that were too close to the ceiling. The issue was taken care of. The state fire marshal came the week of Sept. 28.

• The regional assistant superintendent, Kathy Marshall, also came in and inspected the windows for the life safety project completion.

• On Oct. 9, there was an in-service day in Ohio. Sweger wrote a mini grant to the BMP, which the school was awarded, to bring in on Oct. 9. The BMP spent up to $3,000 for the speaker and $500 on food. Teachers had wanted additional training on technology. A few of the teachers will be attending a co-teaching workshop at the BMP office.

• Sweger announced a $1,000 donation from Geronimo Energy to use toward the installation of the electronic sign.

The sign posts have been welded by Steve Forristall and were powder coated by Dale Ioder.

• Sweger recently went to State Farm in Bloomington and picked up 50 Lenovo laptops received from a grant Sweger applied for in the spring.

In the principal’s report: • The girls’ volleyball has been okay. The BVEC tournament started Saturday, Sept. 26, and was hosted by LaMoille this year.

• On Sept. 16, the school hosted a school improvement day. Teachers talked about how they are always looking for ways to make the school a better place and what they can do to achieve this goal. A main item they talked about was the tremendous group of high school students coming through right now and how they need to use these students to make the school a better place. A committee has formed of teachers from all grade levels.

• Greg Albrecht started his fifth year of coaching. He had 13 boys participating this year.

• Principal Jason Wilt passed out a letter from Tony Smith, state superintendent of education, in regards to the PARCC testing state scores. It showed the state-wide preliminary state level results. No one in the state did well.

The board did not go into executive session, but reviewed and retained the executive session minutes from the Aug. 18, meeting. The next scheduled meeting will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 30.

From the editor’s desk The crisp air of fall has arrived ... and so have the leaves on the ground. The colors of autumn are in full glory right now — vibrant, beautiful, an artist’s palette of colorful hues. The colors of the season can be breathtaking ... at least for me. The Midwest, right now, is a showcase of color. I hope you make time to enjoy the beauty Mother Nature offers. Plan a fall drive now. Remember ... there is only one Fall 2015, never ever to be seen again. And after all, a leisurely drive through the countryside might be just what the doctor ordered to find some peace in your lives.

••• It’s Halloween week, so that means a lot of things. Schools will be filled with the anticipation of a Halloween or a harvest party — some schools have opted to remove the costumes and other hoopla associated with the holiday and replace it with something more age appropriate like fall or harvest parties. Either way, Terri Simon there will be plenty of fun, games and treats, and I’m sure Bureau County children are excited as they anticipate the day.

Next Saturday, most municipalities in the county will host their annual trick-or-treat events; some villages/towns even hold parties for the youngsters. As adults, please remember excited children might not always remember to use their best safety practices.

Also, please remember Halloween day (Saturday) is probably not a good time to burn leaves. A smoldering pile of leaves after the sun goes down might not be seen by some excited trick-or-treaters.

If you have children/grandchildren who are going door-to-door, it’s always a good idea to make sure your little ghosts and goblins are wearing reflective clothing and only stop at homes where you know the people who will be delivering candy to your children.

Please remember to sort through the candy before you allow them to eat any, just as a safety precaution.

Also, please know the BCR Editorial Department always serves as a candy depository for any and all leftover Halloween treats!

Have a fun night. Be safe. Make some memories.

And if you attend an event orchestrated by your town or another group from your municipality, please make sure you thank those folks for their efforts.

••• Football in Bureau County is still alive and well ... and we couldn’t be prouder of our hometown athletes, as well as the coaches, school staff and parents/ guardians who are also integral to their success. The Princeton Tigers and Hall Red Devils are still in the game, headed to the playoffs this weekend. On behalf of the Bureau County Republican, let me be the first to say congratulations, and we wish you all the best.

And for those teams who have closed their seasons for the year, we are equally proud of your efforts, as we are with all athletes from the area.

And that’s not to take anything away from those who excel academically in the classroom. We at this newspaper are also proud of all your accomplishments. Please send in your press releases to news@ bcrnews.com, so we can let readers know what great students reside in Bureau County.

••• Customer Service Kudos: Do you know an individual or business that delivers great customer service?

If so, send me an email at tsimon@bcrnews.com, so I can let other readers know where they can find great customer service. Following are a couple of kudos I recently received: Sue said, “I want to give a public kudos to The Closet customer (resale shop run by CWU) on Wed, Oct. 14. As she paid for her $14 purchase, she wrote a check for much higher than that and asked me (the cashier) to bless those checking out after her until it was gone. It was such a blessing to watch the customers’ faces as they realized an anonymous angel had gifted them.”

Geena said, “My kudos go to the ladies at Four Seasons. They seem to have a sixth sense about when I need their help and when I just want to shop quietly.”

••• Have a great week. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

Television — then and now I love television. I grew up watching television. I did not realize what was happening when my parents purchased our first TV. It was a wonder, a miracle, and the best thing I had ever seen all rolled up in a little square box with a screen smaller than my current computer screen and more the shape of an egg than a square or rectangle. I was amazed, in awe. I was 4.

During the daytime, with my sisters gone to school, I played by myself mostly. With the advent of television in the house, my playing during the winter, was done in front of that new box. I built with red bricks, played with paper dolls, and colored with crayons all in front of the “set.”

I wasn’t too choosy about what I watched. That’s a good thing because the choices were certainly not anywhere close to what they are today.

I did watch “Romper Room” most days. If you don’t remember “Romper Room,” it was sort of the precursor to “Sesame Street,” in a more simple way. The highlight of each show for me was when the host would look in the “Magic Mirror” and “see” some children for that day. She would call out names of kids, and I just knew that someday she would say my first name. Unfortunately, that never happened. As an adult, I now realize that my name wasn’t one that she would come up with to say; it wasn’t the most common of names and didn’t get mentioned. I know, I know, sad but true.

Anyway, as I said I watched a great deal of TV. In the evening my dad would come in to the living room

and he made some choice for our viewing. We watched “Wagon Train,” “Rawhide”and “The Rifleman.” Obviously, he liked Westerns, but there were other choices that we watched too. We watched variety shows such as “Dinah Shore,” “Perry Como” and “The Loretta Young Hour.” I loved them all. There was Saturday night boxing and wrestling, neither one my favorites, but my dad liked them. Remember there weren’t a lot of choices in those days. And, at midnight, the national anthem was played, and programming stopped until the next morning. I know that really seems strange now.

Yes, television has certainly changed from those days of my childhood. That fact was recently really apparent when watching the 2015 Emmy Awards. These are the awards given for excellence in television programming. I have always enjoyed the Emmys. I am usually familiar with most of the shows and the actors being honored, and that makes it interesting.

This year the Emmys were definitely an awakening for me. The winners were almost totally on shows that I, personally, had never seen. Some I had never even heard of. I know, I’m old and clearly out of touch, but gone were the winners from what I call “regular” network programming. I watched the entire presentation of the awards, just waiting for those actors and shows that I was familiar with to be on stage.

Except for one, it didn’t happen.

The winner of the best comedy series was something called “Veep.”

This show appears on HBO, and

Nita Wyatt COMMENTARY one of the stars of that show is Anna Chlumsky. I did know who she was or at least I had seen her as a little girl — she was in a favorite movie of my daughter‘s, “My Girl.” Well, Anna, too, is all grown up and is very successful in this HBO series. I do have HBO available on my TV, but I thought HBO was movies and special events, not a weekly comedy show.

Who knew? Then, I find out that the winner of the outstanding drama is also an HBO series. The outstanding actor in a drama was from a series on AMC. I thought AMC was a channel that showed classic movies. Obviously, I was out of the loop again.

Finally, I was rewarded with the outstanding actress in a drama series being from a show on “regular” TV and on a show that I actually watch! I was excited!

Obviously, television has changed a great deal since that little oval box I watched as a child. I am writing this as I sit in front of my 48” flat screen, “smart” TV with more channel selections than I can even begin to remember. I have figured out how to record on my DVR and find it pretty cool that I can watch those recordings on any TV in my house, but there are still many mysteries of current TV viewing out there. Hulu, Roku, live streaming, Netflix, On Demand, etc., etc. I think I need to hurry to catch up.

Homecoming activities — Hall High School celebrated homecoming the week of Oct. 12.

See Page 8.

‘War of the Worlds’ at Festival 56 PRINCETON — Festival 56 will present “War of the Worlds” at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31, at the Grace Performing Arts Center. The gala evening includes a costume contest, raffle, Halloween candy and a party atmosphere. Audience members who arrive in costume will receive a free drink coupon.

Orson Welles’ “War of the Worlds” was originally broadcast in 1938, and on Oct. 31, Festival 56 audience members will feel as if they’ve traveled back in time ...

The radio show begins with popular music. Suddenly, the voice of a newscaster interrupts. An observatory has reported a series of unusual explosions on Mars. The music continues. But once more, an announcement begins, “Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt ...”

Soon newscasters report the landing of the first cylinder that turns out to contain tentacled Martians who launch “heat ray” attacks.

Background sound effects (created onstage by a live Foley artist) reveal growing danger. We hear artillery, screams, shouts and the sounds of the Martian machines.

Bombers fail to halt the Martians and crash, melted by the enemy’s heat waves. Now a new threat appears: a black fog. The invaders head for New York, whose population flees into the countryside. On the roof of a tall building, a newscaster tells listeners “this may be the last broadcast ... we’ll stay here till the end” as the machines and black fog advance. Finally there is a crash and silence. A desolate survivor imagines himself the “last man

on earth.”

The original broadcast was so realistic that listeners who tuned in late thought that the events were actually happening. The resulting panic clogged public transportation and flooded switchboards, although to a lesser degree than the news media at first believed.

Tickets for “War of the Worlds” are $18 in advance and $20 at the door; student admission is $10. Advance tickets may be purchased by leaving a message at 815-879-5656, online at www.festival56.com, or via email at boxoffice@festival56.com. The theatre seats approximately 150 people and is fully accessible with ample parking. Beer, wine and soft drinks will be available for sale at the lobby bar. For further information, call the box office at 815-879-5656.

“We’re just going to prepare like any other week,” PHS senior captain Jett Wedekind said. “It’s a huge boost to play at home and get our students there and get all of our home fans. Been 12 or 13 years since we’ve been there. A long time.

Great for the community and

program.”

Fourth-year PHS head coach Jesse Snyder, who has taken the Tigers from the depths of back-to-back 0-9 seasons to a 9-0 run, was ready to go to work preparing once he exchanged game film with Mid-County coach Gary Denhart.

“They ran well. We have our work cut out for us next Saturday (at the Oregon Sectional) where they’ll need to pick it up.

We’ve been running well all year so hopefully they’ll be ready to go next week and they’ll bring their A game so we can go on to state,” Amboy coach Bob Halberg said.

SENECA — The Princeton girls team and Hall girls and boys teams all advanced from the Seneca 1A Cross Country Regional on Saturday, Oct. 24.

They will be joined by Princeton’s Cody Workman and St. Bede’s Annie Needs, Thea Mauck and Carter Funfsin go to this weekend’s Oregon Sectional.

The Hall girls finished sixth with 157, one place and point ahead of Princeton, which gained the final qualifying berth.

Hall coach Tom Keegan said things panned out the way he thought they would.

“I knew our girls would slip a little in the team standings with Matti’s (Heiden) injury, but to the other girls’ credit they competed extremely hard and got themselves one more meet,” he said.

“The biggest question I had was where were the boys going to finish because we had ourselves pegged around seventh or eighth. They ran well and the split between our No. 1 and 5 man was one of the smallest it’s been.”

The girls

Senior Brianna Legner (11th, 22:29) and freshman Lauren McMillan (13th, 22:38) headed up the PHS pack. Coach Pat Hodge said freshman Rebekah Workman (23:50) probably had the Tigresses’ best race of the day, because he had her targeted for 39th place and she came in 32nd. Other contributors for PHS were 54th Casey

Freshman Jenna Parente led the Hall contingent with a 10th-place time of 22:22.

Also for Hall, junior Amelia Moreno was 27th (23:39), freshmen Lainey Robbins was 32nd (23:54), junior Kaylee Olivares was 34th (24:01), senior Lindsey Conrad was 54th (25:50), sophomore Liz Aldana was 60th (26:42) and senior Tanja Acamovic was 67th (28:35).

St. Bede’s Needs placed 14th (22:41) in the girls race and her junior classmate, Mauck, placed 20th (23:13), securing the final qualifying spot.

Eva Bruno of Seneca was the race winner with a time of 19:48. Seneca beat out Ottawa Marquette 45-91 for the team title.

Princeton senior Cody Workman will be making his fourth trip to sectional, the past three years as an individual. He placed 15th with a time of 18:32, continuing to make a nice progression in his four years at PHS, Hodge said.

“We had some congestion issues in the middle of the season that slowed him down some, but he’s bounced back pretty well in the last couple of weeks,” Hodge said.

“Our regional was a little tougher this year, but he ran one of his best races to qualify again. He’s been very consistent when healthy, so that’s always a plus.

St. Bede’s Funfsinn finished 20th (18:55), claiming the fourth of five qualifying berths.

Sophomore Westley Schmidt led Hall through the chutes with a 17th-place effort of 18:33. Other running Red Devils were junior Gage Ripka (20th, 18:59), freshman Ethan Cattani (23rd, 19:05), junior Christopher Enriquez (43rd, 20:39), Zeben Parochetti (46th, 20:44) and Lorenzo Olivares (53rd, 21:26) and senior James Russell (61st, 22:27).

Putnam County advanced with a fifth-place team finish. Junior Noe Flores was fifth overall in 17:33, followed by junior Jon Sabotta (18:59) and senior Denver Wyatt (19:00), who placed 21st and 22nd.

Princeton finished ninth as a team, but Hodge said most ran higher than anticipated which is a nice step in rebuilding the team.

IVC topped Fieldcrest 64-83 for the team title. Seneca freshman Christopher Collet (17:06) was the race winner.

BV From Page 9 achieve that. We have earned the right to advance onto sectionals and run with the best runners in northern Illinois. Hopefully we can get another great race out of our kids next Saturday.”

Two Lady Clippers placed in the top five with junior Megan Grady clocking a thirdplace time of 20:27 and junior Erin Hosto placing fifth (21:00). Also contributing to the Lady Clippers’ success were Jennifer Popovich (15th, 22:04), Kelynn Boyle (28th, 22:57), Maddie Foster (34th, 23:38), Kaitlin Boers (46th, 24:30) and Kaitlyn Ortgiesen (53rd, 24:53).

“I’m happy with going to sectionals but not happy with my placing. Last year I fell down towards the end and got fourth then as well, so I wanted to place higher this year. I lost the group ahead of me so I was running by myself a lot, and I knew I couldn’t let the group behind me catch me because they’d swallow me up so I had to keep pushing,” Grady said.

Grady, who according to her coach was running ill Saturday, aims to bounce back next week on a course that is hilly but doesn’t have the numerous turns and twists as the Walnut course.

“I’m pretty pumped. We need to do this for the seniors. I told the team, ‘If we don’t do it for ourselves, we need to do it for the seniors.’ We’ve all been friends my whole career, and I’m pumped to be able to go to sectionals with this team and hopefully move onto state,” Grady said.

Blackburn, who placed fifth (16:55), also wasn’t running at full speed.

“I wasn’t feeling that great today. I’m a little tight and a little sore so I didn’t finish where I should have today. I’m glad I made it though and I kind of know where I’m going to be for next week,” he said.

The hilly and winding course posed a difficult challenge for area runners but the Storm were able to scrape together enough low times to advance to sectionals. The BV girls claimed fourth place and the boys grabbed fifth.

Ohio’s Schulte finished 17th (18:01), the third of five individual qualifers.

Erin Hosto of Amboy/LaMoille comes in with a fifth-place finish in Saturday’s Bureau Valley Regional.

BV sophomore Haley Weidner paced the Storm squad with a time of 21:5, good enough for 14th place. She was followed

by Nataleigh Nugent (27th, 22:35), Hannah Williams (29th, 23:13), Heather Williams (33rd, 23:35), Marissa Mungia (44th, 24:20), Savanah Wall (60th, 25:43), and Sydney Sweenie (68th, 27:46).

The BV boys had two runners in the top 15 with sophomore Morgan Strader (17:54) and senior Yulian Osorio (18:00), running 14th and 15th to lead the Storm into the sectionals. Behind them came Kurt Bitting (29th), Austin Catton (33), Robert Aukes (45), Trevor Griffin (47) and Brad Sirens (57).

Annawan/Wethersfield grabbed the girls championship, defeating A/L 282-85 as seniors Olivia Draminski (19:29) and Joycelyn VanAntwerp (19:48) finished first and second.

Sterling Newman was tops on the boys side, defeating Rock Falls 46-83. Junior Brayden Hamblen of Rock Falls was crowned individual champion with a time of 15:48.

Advancing runners will take the drive north to the Oregon Sectional meet on Halloween Saturday, Oct. 31.

NOTHING BEATS AN ALTIMA.

The Hall football team gathered at the Ladd Moose to watch their playoff pairing come in Saturday. They will be at home at 1 p.m. Saturday vs. Monmouth United.

EXCEPT ANOTHER ALTIMA.

With zero-gravity seats* and up to 270 horsepower, it’s the most exciting ride out there.

Packed with style, innovation and performance, the 2014 Altima can’t be beat.

Football From Page 9 “We’re just excited about getting in. I know the Lincoln Trail is a tough conference, so we’ll just prepare like we have all season long,” he said.

Hall senior captain Jake Merkel said he had not heard of United previously, but has learned they are a physical team from what he’s seen on film.

“It’s a big game for us to get a home game,” he said.

“It’s something we talked about all year and we’re looking forward to Saturday at home.”

The PHS players enjoyed rallying together for the playoff pairings party and hope to have more similar outings over the next five weeks.

“Most of us are already close knit with each other.

This brings all the others in with us,” Wedekind said.

“Oh, it’s great just to be with all the guys, watch this together, have pizza together and hang out.

Keep building up the team. We’re all really close already. It’s just nice to be with them,” Reinhardt said.

The same feelings were shared at the Hall gathering at the Moose Lodge in Ladd.

“It’s always a lot of fun.

We’ve had it there the past two years and it’s really a good time getting all the guys together to see who we’re going have in the

Scouting the enemy Mid-County (5-4): The Cougars are a co-op between Lincoln Trail Conference members Oneida ROWVA, Galva and Williamsfield, which formed in 2010. The schools have a combined enrollment of 478, falling in the middle of the 3A range. Most of their opponents in the LTC are more in the 1-2A range (109-411).

Mid-County makes its first playoff appearance since its inaugural season when it lost its first-round contest in 2010. Its 5-4 campaign marks its first winning season in six years. Two of its five wins this year came over winless River Valley and Biggsville West Central.

They’ve also defeated Sciota West Prairie (2-7) and Ridgewood (2-7) with Princeville (5-4) their lone win over a team with a winning record. All four of the Cougars’ losses have come to playoff teams — Stark County (9-0), Mercer County (5-4), Monmouth United (6-3) and Annawan/Wethersfield (8-1).

Monmouth United (6-3): United is the union of the Monmouth Warren and Alexis school districts in 200405. It annexed the former Monmouth Yorkwood school district in 2007. While they have an all-time high enrollment of 331, school officials anticipate numbers dropping back to the 275 range in three years and remaining there.

The Red Storm finished third in the Lincoln Trail behind Stark County and Annawan/Wethersfield. They dropped their final two games of the season to Stark County and Mercer County after a 6-1 start. United has an enrollment of 331.

The Red Storm is making its 10th playoff appearance, all in 1A, since the formation of United in 2004.

Union celebrated its inaugural season by winning the 1A state championship. Since then, they have only made it out of the first round one other time (1A quarterfinals in 2009).

— Kevin Hieronymus playoffs,” Merkel said.

Snyder brought in Kirk Stevens, a team captain and defensive leader from the PHS 1989 State Runner-up, the team all others at PHS has looked up to over the years, to speak to the team prior to learning of their playoff pairing. He had all

of this year’s team riveted by every word he said.

Four Three Rivers teams made the playoffs, including Orion (1A) and Newman (3A). Bureau Valley (5-4) fell short on playoff points at 31, needing 35.
