Warehousing at former Walmart?

Plan commission OKs use of part of building; City Council may have final say Monday

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton Plan Commission approved a special use permit Thursday, Nov. 3, to allow warehousing in a portion of the old Walmart building at 2106 N. Main St. The commission’s 4-1 recommendation came with the stipulation that a 14-foot minimum privacy fence be erected

around the west and south sides of the surrounding lot to act as a noise barrier. The Princeton City Council is expected to act on this recommendation at its meeting this Monday night, Nov. 7.

Voting in favor of the recommendation to approve the special use permit were commission members Ian Cardosi, Bill Cass, Michael Wendt and Rodney Lange. Tom Hall cast the lone no vote.

Brian Gift, director of planning for the city of Princeton, said Breck Loos of Sterling wants to buy the building and use some of it for retail space and another portion for warehousing and distribution to other stores he owns in this area of Illinois.

City officials wouldn’t divulge the name of Loos’ business, per his request, Gift said.

PRINCETON — Bailey Subdivision residents voiced their objections to noise from trucks, litter and other factors to a proposed use of the old Walmart building at the Princeton Plan Commission meeting Thursday, Nov. 3.

Bob Rupcich of Bailey Court had compiled a 19-page report citing alleged violations of the city of Princeton Land Development Code with Breck Loos of Sterling wanting to use a portion of the building for warehousing and distribution plus retail usage for another

rid themselves of that late fee. All one has to do is bring in a canned or boxed non-perishable food donation to the library. Each donated food item pays $1 in library overdue fines.

PRINCETON — Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) has released the 2016 Illinois Report Card, which provides a snapshot of public education across the state.

The comprehensive report reveals data for each public school in the state.

School districts, parents and stakeholders can visit www.illinoisreportcard. com, type in the school of their choice and review a wide range of statistics on the school — from student attendance, high school dropout rate, percentage of students meeting or exceeding PARCC proficiency exams, to graduation rates, average teacher salaries and much more.

The Bureau County Republican will share statistics for Bureau County schools in an ongoing series.

School districts are able to use the report card information and compare their own performance from year-to-year. They can also use the information to identify collaboration opportunities with other school districts, and the information can spark ideas and conversations on how to improve public education for the benefit of students.

Your turn at the board Gaming group at Festival 56 shows future may not be so digital

By Dave Cook dcook@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Board games, as with many things these days, could justifiably be thought of as relics of the past, forgotten on a closet shelf while fiddling with a downloaded game on a phone. A group of local gamers has another idea though; they’ve started a popular board game group that’s highlighting the latest in game designs.

Meeting in the lobby of the Festival 56 building from 7 to 9:30 p.m. every Friday during which no theater performances are scheduled, the Princeton, Illinois Board Game Group has been attracting new players to their tables. The events are free and open to the public, and each of the 10 prior meetings has seen an average of about 15 people.

The three tables set up in the lobby each host a different game, although sometimes the groups are joined for one larger game. To begin the evening, an intro game is played to familiarize players with rules and game mechanics.

Co-founder Ron McCutchan said, “The strange thing is we’ve had different first-time players at each event. If we could get everyone to come on the same night, we’d have a very large group.”

Throughout the summer, McCutchan and fellow co-founders Jim Gassen and Brandon and Emily Stover had all been independently talking about starting a game group. McCutchan, head of Youth Services at the Princeton Public Library, had started one there as a way to help draw junior high students to the book club, but it was the board game events generating the most interest.

“We realized we were all interested in doing the same thing; so once we got the venue, we worked

What goes on at Festival 56 on Fridays when there are no theater performances? The Princeton Illinois Board Game Group has the floor, or rather the tables – three of them, to be exact. About 15 people have shown up for each of the first 10 events. “The strange thing is we’ve had different first-time players at each event. If we could get everyone to come on the same night, we’d have a very large group,” said co-founder Ron McCutchan. together to make it happen. We’ve had players from eighth-grade up to 80 years old,” Brandon said.

While there’s been talk of doing a retro-night with more classic board games, the group has been focused on introducing players to the new Euro-style or designer games which have become increasingly popular worldwide. Surprisingly, it’s been millennials, the most plugged in generation, who have been driving the success of this new style of game play.

“It’s been fun introducing people to games they’ve never experienced before. People hear ‘board games’ and think Monopoly or Parcheesi. It’s also been a great way to get more people to see the inside of the theater,” Gassen said.

While American-style games typically involve a lot of luck and conflict, Euro-games downplay luck and encourage more strategic play and are more likely to have economic themes. They’re also designed to keep all players in the game, as losing players are contrary to the social nature of game play.

Designed for international audiences, these games aren’t word based and usually don’t contain much text, other than the rules which strive to be simple and to help keep game play short. Symbols are often used, reducing the amount of translation needed between different editions. Play tends to minimize or even eliminate verbal communication as a game element.

As long as players know the rules, they can play

together, even if they don’t speak a common language.

The Internet hasn’t replaced board games; instead, it’s exposed players to new games and helped them connect with other local players.

It’s also helped designers, whose names are often featured on the cover of the box, to help raise funds to develop their newest ideas.

Players are welcome to bring their own games and a nice selection of other board games are also on hand at each event. Families are welcome; snacks are provided; and the lobby bar is open for cash. For more information visit the group’s Facebook page.

The Festival 56 Theater is located at 316 S. Main St. in Princeton.

Objections From Page 1 part of the vacant area of the store.

A petition signed by 22 residents objected to the special use permit to warehousing in a district right next to a residential area.

“While we do support new retail operations in the now vacant real estate, we believe that the proposed warehousing operation and their associated disruptions would be detrimental to the R1A residential abutting area,” the petition said.

Rupcich cited the neighbors’ major concerns as declining property values, alteration of the essential character of the neighborhood, adverse noise from running diesel trucks during unloading/loading process, vehicle vibration from trucks being felt at nearby homes, fork lift noise due to OSHA mandated backup alarms, unknown operating hours, inadequate screening (sixfoot fence required), intrusive lighting from security lights on the back of the building, intrusive security surveillance possibly intruding on residents’

Warehousing From Page 1 However, an employee of the Sterling store confirmed Friday that Loos does own a NAPA store in Sterling and other towns in the area. Mayor Joel Quiram said Thursday night that Loos owns seven to eight stores.

Many Bailey Subdivision residents, who live directly west of the property, voiced their objection to the city allowing warehousing out of this building due to noise from trucks, declining property values, intrusive lighting from the building onto their property, and other factors.

Cardosi suggested requiring the noise barrier fence that would include trees or greenery to the west of the required 6-foot fence because of semis and other trucks coming and going from the property.

Cass said, “We want to ensure Princeton not go

privacy, and west side of building used by trucks getting to loading docks due to the building only being 30 feet from their property lines.

Other factors cited were outside storage, refuse containers and odors, proposed outside compactor, storm water drainage, litter and safety.

Jim Lund, a nearby resident who runs a trucking company, said semis can’t safely back in or pull out of the proposed 12-foot-wide docks.

Resident Charlie Yelm said storm drainage pipe used for the current building has eroded and buckled, and he was concerned with more water problems with the area being paved for use by trucks.

Rupcich said warehousing is an inappropriate use of this area, and the city shouldn’t be held hostage if he said he would leave without the variance being granted.

“We support retail and the city, but this is a wrong operation for this area,” he said.

Resident Greg Malm added, “We wish him well, but somewhere else.”

Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com. stagnant. To grow and thrive, we have to bring in business but respect the neighbors.”

Hall thought the congestion in the area is a big deal along with allowing warehousing in a retail area. He wanted more information about Loos’ plans for the building.

Cass added he was extremely upset that no one was present at the meeting to answer the commission’s questions about Loos’ plans for the building. Cass made an earlier motion to deny the application, and Hall seconded it because Loos or no other representative was present at the meeting to answer their questions.

However, Princeton City Clerk Pete Nelson said approving this motion to deny the special use permit application would send a bad signal to the developer.

That motion was defeated 4-1. Cass, Cardosi, Wendt and Lange voted to defeat this motion, while Hall voted in favor of it.

Christmas comes early at annual Candy Cane event

Report Card From Page 1 New data points in this year’s report card included teacher attendance, and 6- and 7-year graduation cohorts, which represents commitment to graduate students with Individualized Education Programs.

The report card also highlights the Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and duel credit courses schools make available to students, in order to further Illinois’ goal of increasing enrollment and outcomes, especially among currently underrepresented yet high-achieving students.

Illinois State Superintendent Tony Smith said the report card data for the 2015-16 school year mostly held steady.

“A testament to the commitment and resourcefulness of educators and administrators across the state, who deeply felt our state’s education funding challenges,” he said.

Smith said while some students are achieving at remarkable levels, the majority of students are unprepared for the world of work and for meaningful participation in communities.

“If we hope to make Illinois a state where whole, healthy children are nested in whole, healthy systems, and where all citizens are socially and economically secure, we must make major changes to the way we fund our public schools and fundamentally shift our approach to education,” he said.

Smith is pushing for the new education provision Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which allows districts greater flexibility to braid and blend funds to address specific local needs.

The plan to implement ESSA will be submitted to the U.S. Department of Education in March. ESSA is expected to establish new accountability measures and systems of support for struggling districts to better serve students.

Much of the plan is based on stakeholder input.

“As educators, families, community, business leaders and activist, we must seize the opportunities within ESSA. We must engage in dialogue, continue to build trusting relationships with one another, and activate all public, private and philanthropic resources available in order to interrupt those practices that have left far too many of Illinois’ most vulnerable behind,” Smith said.

Fine From Page 1 According to a press release, local libraries participating in the effort include Princeton Public Library, the Richard A. Mautino Memorial Library in Spring Valley and Jacobs Library at Illinois Valley Community College in Oglesby; however, other area libraries may also be joining in the effort. Those outside of Princeton and Spring Valley should call their local library for more details.

“It gives me a great feeling that we are coordinating this project through the local libraries,” Barb White, head librarian in Spring Valley, said. “What a wonderful opportunity for us to give back to other individuals (while) at the same time getting our items back at the library.”

Princeton Public Library Director Julie Wayland said it’s the Princeton library’s pleasure to be a part of the effort.

“The Princeton Public Library is pleased to join other area libraries in what has become an annual event. We realize the need for the Bureau County Food Pantry and other area food banks, and want to do our part to support their efforts,” Wayland said. “The library trustees and staff are appreciative and committed to helping our community, especially over the upcoming holiday season.”

“Jacobs Library has participated in the Food for Fines program for over five years,” said Stephanie King, public services librarian at Jacobs Library at Illinois Valley Community College in Oglesby.

“We’ve increased our promotion this year and hope to collect a greater number of donations for the local food pantries,” she added.

“While the forgiveness is a major incentive, IVCC students and employees without fines are also encouraged to donate.”

King said the event is a way for the IVCC library to not only help patrons, but also the local community, since the collected donations will help provide support for food pantries and individuals in need throughout the upcoming holiday season.

The libraries will take up to 25 non-per-

Bureau County Republican • bcrnews.com ishable food items to erase $25 per overdue library/patron card. Food items must be presented at the circulation desks.

All food donations will then be presented to the area food pantries, which serves people in the local area.

“During the holiday time period, we often see an increase in the need in households, so Food for Fines helps us tremendously, By having the food donations, we get a variety of items we don’t normally get. It gives the clients something different,” said Vanessa Hoffeditz, community service coordinator for Tri-County Opportunities Council and the Bureau County Food Pantry.

Project Success Director Jan Martin, which sponsors the Hall Township Food Pantry, said the Spring Valley facility is appreciative of the Food for Fines program since it clearly fills a gap ... on the food pantry shelves.

“Keeping shelves filled, well, that is difficult. This is where Food for Fines really helps,” Martin said, adding the pantry feeds about 1,000 people every month. “The donations are used to help restock our 37 shelves — and such a blessing, as we are busy collecting food for our distributions, Nov. 16 and Dec. 21. This wide assortment of food items fills in empty spaces. We are most thankful.”

Most food pantries can use prepared foods like canned hams and other canned meats, Spaghetti-Os, canned pasta, canned fruits, soups, cereals and more.

Those wishing to donate a food item to get rid of an overdue fine should remember all food items should be in their original packages; outdated food or glass containers are not accepted.

Donated food items are not accepted for lost or damaged books, replacement of library card or interlibrary loan fees — only for library fines.

No library fines to pay? That’s OK. All the libraries will still be happy to accept your non-perishable food donation.

For questions regarding the Food for Fines amnesty program, contact your local library.

Serving Bureau County Since 1847

30 years ... but who’s counting?

On Friday, Nov. 4, Bureau County Republican Sports Editor Kevin Hieronymus celebrated a milestone. It was 30 years ago on that very date Kevin began his career at the BCR. That’s right ... we celebrated Kevin’s 30-year anniversary yesterday (Friday) at the BCR with a pizza Terri party, a cake and lots Simon of well-deserved pats on the back.

COMMENTARY Kevin, who has more seniority than any of us in the BCR newsroom, has seen a host of changes in his career.

He said the addition of technology and digital photography is probably the biggest innovation in the newsroom during his 30 years. And even though we “old dogs” struggle with “new tricks,” I have to say Kevin has embraced the changes, despite his traditional approach to covering sports in Bureau County.

While Kevin was quick to tell me of the changes in his 30-year journey, he was just as expeditious to speak of the things that have remained constant throughout these three decades— the kids, the coaches, the parents. From Kevin’s perspective — whether on the field, the court, the wrestling mat or the soccer pitch ... and everywhere in between — the people have remained constant and consistent. As he told me, “Kids will be kids; coaches will be coaches; and parents will be parents.”

Many of us in the BCR newsroom have a lot of years under our belts, which means we tend to be a family of sorts. Not only do we care about each other, we’ve come to know each other’s families, their interests, their likes/dislikes and more. We’ve watched staff members get married, have children and even grandkids too.

While we all come to the newspaper table from different walks of life, different histories, different perspectives ... we all band together with the same goal in mind — to produce a great newspaper about local people doing local things. Kevin clearly understands that mission and performs that task with the best interest of his readers, as well as this newspaper.

OK, I may have made it sound like it’s all been rosy throughout the years, but that’s not true. Kevin and I have gone toe-to-toe about a few subjects/issues/concerns ... but those days are long past. In the meantime, I grew up quite a bit. Maybe he did too. Today, we respect each other and find not just a mentor in each other, but also a friend.

I’m not sure if you know what it takes to orchestrate the sports coverage in an entire county ... and even beyond. But Kevin makes it look easy, even though I know it’s not. Other than a few correspondents/stringers who work for him, he is a one-man show when it comes to sports and the BCR. And he does it with a calm, cool and humble attitude from which I continually try to learn. Will he always make everyone happy?

Of course not. None of us in the newsroom do. But will he give it his all? Will he be fair? Will he offer those kids who warm the bench an opportunity to see their photos in the newspaper just like the star athletes do?

Absolutely. I respect him for that more than he’ll ever know.

And so 30 years have passed, and while Kevin will quietly begin his 31st year on Monday with no fanfare, no hullabaloo, no grand expression of fame ... I will secretly glance at him at his sports desk from here on out and applaud his many accomplishments in this business. We are proud of you, Kevin. Congrats from all of us at the BCR. And if you see Kevin out and about, give him a well-deserved pat on the back. You might think it’s an easy job going to all these games and then relaying the information back to you, but I’m here to say it’s a whole lot tougher than it looks. Kevin clearly has my respect. You don’t do this job unless the ink runs through your blood and you care about the people you cover. It’s as simple and as difficult as that.

Gathering and growing A hearty thanks to you, the readers, for your interest and support for the Starved Rock Country Community Foundation (SRCCF). The response has been exciting and encouraging. Far and away, the most inquiries we receive involve how to donate to the foundation in general, and how to open up a personal fund or create a scholarship.

So, how do you donate to the foundation and with what? The answer to that question is simple.

We accept cash, checks and credit cards. We also accept gifts of appreciated stock, life insurance proceeds, gifts from your retirement funds and gifts of grain. Other types of gifts such as cars, real estate and works of art may be considered under certain circumstances in accordance with our Gift Acceptance Policy.

What do we need most right now? Your unrestricted donation to the SRCCF Leadership Fund. Your donation is a gift for now. It enables us to operate, provides funds for grant-making to area agencies and charitable initiatives, and helps us build the core administrative fund.

The Leadership Fund is created with unrestricted gifts, earnings on our investments and administrative fees. For now, this is where we need your donation the most.

In addition to the Leadership Fund, the following funds can also be created through the Starved Rock Country Community Foundation. Grants are made from all of these funds for the purpose intended by the donor(s).

Donor Advised Fund • Most flexible.

• Make grants back to your favorite charities now or later.

• Individual or corporate Designated Fund • Created for the sole benefit of a specific charity, who receives annual distribution unless you instruct otherwise.

• May specify how the charity is to use funds. If so, SRCCF supervises to assure donor intent.

Field of Interest Fund • Established by a group of donors to support a particular area, such as arts, education, health care, etc.

• Anyone can contribute.

• SRCCF uses the fund either to fulfill a non-profit grant request or to address an urgent need.

• Geographic field of interest.

• Interested residents establish a committee to raise and distribute funds for projects and local non-profits.

Scholarships • Either general or to support a

Pamela Beckett COMMENTARY school, field of study or population.

• Decisions are made by SRCCF committee, which may include one donor representative.

Agency Fund • Established by non-profits who want to build a long-term endowment to forever provide an annual income stream.

Funds Created by Giving Circles • A group of like-minded individuals who pool donations to make grants from the pool of funds.

• Greatly amplifies financial impact.

Fiscal Sponsorships • Unique arrangements with community groups requiring the need for partnership with us; generally, while they seek their own 501(c)3 status, or for short-term projects.

Second to inquiries about giving to the foundation is the interest in our board of directors, and our activity this month.

• Our board of directors continues to gather and grow. Thirteen of the 15 board positions have been filled, led by board Chairman Jay McCracken, Hennepin; Vice-Chairman Tom Justice, Seneca; Secretary Pastor Kris Zierke, Seneca; and Treasurer John McCormick, Peru. Board members include Bob Eschbach, Ottawa; Larry Windsor, Ottawa; Keith Cain, Princeton; Inga Carus, Ottawa; Trent Griffith, McNabb; Chuck Beckett, Ottawa; Tara Bedei, Streator; Boyd Palmer, Ottawa; and Tom Heimsoth, Ottawa.

• Twenty-three area youth from LaSalle County are exploring philanthropy by learning about local social service organizations; why they exist, how they are managed, how funding is received, who they serve, and what outcomes are being achieved.

In early spring, Youth Engaged in Philanthropy members will offer a grant opportunity to agencies and make a grant based on community impact. Similar groups are being established in Bureau and Putnam Counties, and all groups are open to young leaders, ages 10 through 12.

• More than 60 women of all ages gathered at Lock 16 in LaSalle for the Power of One dessert reception.

Compelling and passionate speakers shared their stories and the Women Inspired Network (WIN) Giving Circle was born to provide a vehicle for women to come together

to grow small, individual contributions into a single large fund, and used to make significant impact throughout the community. Our goal is to bring together at least 150 women throughout Starved Rock Country, willing to make a minimum gift of $200 per year. Founding partners are making an initial gift of $500 or more, and Friends of WIN may make smaller gifts. Our next gathering is being planned now – call us to join this powerful and caring group.

• Our largest scholarship to date, the Carol and Dick Janko Scholarship for Promising Entrepreneurs, has been established with an initial $50,000 gift. An annual scholarship of $5,000 will be available to an individual living in LaSalle, Bureau, Putnam or Livingston counties, who is seeking funding for the education required to create a new community initiative or business venture in Starved Rock Country. This scholarship is not restricted to current year graduating high-school seniors. We are sincerely grateful for the generosity of Dick and Carol Janko, and encourage you to contribute to this wonderful opportunity to significantly impact the life of the recipient and support the entrepreneurial spirit in our community.

• The Oakland Cemetery Preservation Fund has been created to support specific care needs of the Oakland Cemetery in Princeton. If the cemetery has provided for your family, perhaps for generations, please consider donating to this fund. Your contribution is tax-deductible in accordance with IRS regulations. Checks must be made payable to the SRCCF, and will be restricted to the Oakland Cemetery Preservation Fund.

• Flags of Freedom in Princeton has partnered with us for establishing a permanent charitable fund, and to provide donors the opportunity to make a tax-deductible donation. What a wonderful way to show your support for the dedication of the members of the Flags of Freedom organization and to honor our flag and all it stands for!

Checks must be made payable to the SRCCF, and will be restricted to the Flags of Freedom Fund.

Exciting things happen every day at the SRCCF ... we hope you’ll join the excitement!

Pamela Beckett, president of SRCCF, and the board of directors welcome the opportunity to meet with you, your family or your business. To reach Pamela, or a board member, contact can be made at pamela@srccf.org or by calling 815-252-2906.

A joyful noise Years ago at a church retreat, a woman asked me how I knew all of the songs that we were singing, since many of them were so new to her. I remarked, “Oh, many of them are new to me too!” She raised her eyebrows and said, “Well you sing them loud enough!”

Sometimes things just smack you right upside the head. Apparently, my singing voice was not melodious.

It was just LOUD. I’ve never claimed to be able to carry a tune in a bucket.

I love to sing. I just don’t do it well.

I also had someone tell me one time, “You could be a good singer someday if you’d practice.” Thank you ... I think. I practice all of the time. I sing in the kitchen when I drink my morning coffee. The first thing I do is turn on my radio on the way to the bathroom. I dance doing the dishes. I sing in the shower, and watch out if I’m actually in the car alone with the radio! I’m sure the people sitting next to me at the light wonder if I have some sort of nervous disorder that contorts my face in a rhythmic fashion.

Lori Boekeloo COMMENTARY I know my voice does not inspire angels. I’m not sure if I actually lulled my children to sleep when they were babies. I think their slumber came from a desire to escape the reality that they were not mobile and could not get away from me, so sleep was the only other clear option to save themselves.

As I belt out the praise songs in church on Sunday mornings, I do so not with skill, but with joy. I attend a Mennonite Church where the congregation naturally sings four-part harmony, and they generationally have learned to sing as a unified chorus with no discernible practicing or obsessive repetitiveness. I am obviously a Methodist import and fit in the best I can.

When I close my eyes and lift my

hands, it is not because I want to be the next American Idol. I want to worship my Lord with all my might.

I lose myself in the music, and it is one of the best parts of belonging to this congregation.

Over the years, I have thought about seeking the guiding council of a trained musician, so I could make my tone and pitch more acceptable to the human ear (and the canines would probably appreciate it too!), but then I realize that Jesus doesn’t care. All He requires of me is desire. All He wants is all of what I have. He doesn’t ask for me to come to Him in perfection. He only asks that I come.

So- when I dance up to the gates of Heaven, belting out the music that is welling up inside of me, I will bring Him the gift of my love, the gift of my heart, and I might even sneak Him in a set of earplugs.

Princeton Public Library announces fundraiser PRINCETON — The Princeton Public Library is stepping away from its annual International Game Day Trivia Night Fundraiser. Instead they are throwing a New Year’s Eve Non-Event.

A Non-Event imitates the same planning and execution as an event, but supporters stay at home.

The concept is to save the contributors the time, effort and expense of attending yet another fundraiser.

The library is calling its “event” New Year’s Eve Save Your Cash Bash.

Invitations will go out at the beginning of November with a self-addressed RSVP requesting a donation to “buy tickets” for the nonexistent party.

Since these “tickets” are really donations, anyone can give whether they receive an invitation or not.

The library wants to be clear in explaining the premise so as to avoid confusion in the community when they receive an invitation or see it advertised. It is meant as an acknowledgement to our benefactors that we appreciate the fact that not everyone enjoys attending fundraisers, yet they still want to be supportive. This way, they can show their support from the comfort of their homes.

As a New Year’s Eve party, this Non-Event presents no conflict or juggling with other New Year’s Eve plans or puts pressure on anyone to come out if they prefer to stay home and watch the ball drop on TV. Because the event won’t happen, there are no concerns about dressing up, parking, babysitters, crowds, weather conditions, etc.

It is stress free!

Widmark confronts thugs, epidemic in library movie

Photos contributed

PRINCETON – The Princeton Public Library’s series of films starring Princeton’s own Richard Widmark continues Wednesday, Nov. 9, with the theme “Richard to the Rescue.”

The latest Widmark Wednesday movie finds Widmark in the role of a public health doctor who embarks on a desperate struggle to stop a deadly epidemic in its tracks before everyone in a major American city becomes infected.

It doesn’t help matters that the first people infected inhabit the city’s criminal underworld and have no intention of cooperating with authorities.

The film will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Princeton Public Library. Admission is free.

Widmark, an Academy Award nominee who graduated from Princeton High School in 1932, acted in 72 movies from 1947 until 1991. He died in 2008.

The “Richard to the Rescue” series continues on Dec. 14, complete with birthday cake (while it lasts) in honor of Widmark’s 102nd birthday later that month.

In addition, a “Noir November Week” mini-festival of four of Widmark’s film noir movies from the late 1940s and early 1950s will be shown Monday through Thursday, Nov. 14-17, starting at 6:30 p.m. each evening.

In the meantime, the library has a collection of more than 50 Widmark movies on DVD that patrons can check out and view at home.

Parkinson’s support group to meet

Annual toy drive held in Princeton PRINCETON — The Princeton Lions Club held its annual toy drive on Oct. 9 at Soldiers and Sailors Park in Princeton. More than 120 cars cruised into downtown Princeton

bringing toys and smiles. Assisting for the event were Kim Frey of the Princeton Chamber of Commerce, who designed the posters; Princeton Police Department Explorers and

Malden Lions Club handled traffic; and Bureau County Sheriff’s deputies helped with coffee and hot chocolate. Princeton Lion Scott Bickett is the toy drive chairperson.

SPRING VALLEY — St. Margaret’s support group for persons affected by Parkinson’s disease will meet at 1:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 7, in the hospital’s First Floor Presentation Room. This month’s presenter, Scot Kelly, will give a demonstration on drumming. Research has shown that drumming can give Parkinson’s patients better control over their movements and help their gait in stressful situations. Attendees will be able to participate in this activity. For more information, call 815434-7114.

More than 795,000 strokes occur each year. (2016, CDC) The use of non-invasive ultrasound vascular screenings and proper physician follow-up help to prevent the occurence of strokes.

Lions meet their match

Lady Devils bring back regional lineup intact

Sweet 16 icing on the Lady Lions’ cake

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

FLANAGAN — All good things must come to an end and it was all good for the LaMoille/Ohio volleyball team this season.

The Lady Lions won its first regional championship in the history of the co-op and went all the way to the Sweet 16. There, the Lady Lions met its match falling to Kewanee Wethersfield 25-15, 25-10 in the Flanagan 1A Sectional championship match.

Lady Lions magical season ends with a 24-13 record, making it the deepest postseason run for Ohio in 23 years and 39 years for LaMoille.

“Our goal was regional, and then the fact we won the next game was great to get to the Sweet 16. It was just a really awesome moment for our team,” senior Riley Johnson said.

“It’s an awesome thing to say we were the team to do it. We were the team to get to the Sweet 16 and win regional. It’s just a great thing.”

Ohio junior Lexi Loftus said the Lady Lions’ season was something you dream about.

“Our goal was to win regional. We wanted to be first team to do it. To get into Sweet 16, that was just a bonus. That was just amazing,” she said. “To say we made Sweet 16, that’s huge for LaMoille girls and Ohio girls together. I couldn’t be more proud honestly.”

“It has been amazing,” said L/O coach Hallie (May) Monroe, a 2009 LHS graduate, her voice breaking with emotion. “I don’t

SPRING VALLEY — The Hall Lady Red Devils didn’t have to do much reloading in the off season after claiming the 2016 Class 2A regional title.

Hall becomes that much more devilish of a team this season as they bring back a plethora of quality talent from a year ago, including reigning BCR Player of the Year Hunter Galassi and all five starters from that championship team.

“Our focus right now is to get better,” coach Brian Holman said. “If we’re two weeks into the season and we haven’t improved, we’ll be on the same level as everyone else. We have to get better. We won a regional title last year and that’s nice, but we want to be a team that improves from year to year.”

Holman enters his third season coaching Hall and with each passing season brings more promise to the program.

Your 2016 Chicago Cubs: a team of destiny If there is one word that best describes the 2016 Chicago Cubs, it would be destiny.

It was certainly their time as we know it’s been a long time coming.

Things started to click when the Cubs’ biggest rival, the Cardinals, were kept out of the playoffs for the first time in five years by one game on the season’s final day. Cubs fans have to admit having the Cardinals, a team with a long history of postseason magic, out of the mix had to make you feel a little better.

I remember drifting off to sleep with the Cubbies trailing

Kevin Hieronymus HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS

5-2 to the Giants in Game 4 of the NLDS only to awake in time to watch them tie the game and go ahead to win it and clinch the series. I said that night it was destiny.

Then they fell behind 2 games to 1 to the Dodgers in the NLCS and I have to say how surprised

I was to see some posts from Cubs fans saying it was over. I had to talk one Cubs friend off the ledge and say, “How can you give up on the Cubs now?” They won 103 games for a reason.

They are good.

I was blessed with the opportunity to be able to cover the first two World Series games in Chicago. I have enjoyed attending World Series games in St. Louis over the years (1982, 1985, 1987, 2004, 2006, 2011, 2013) as well as in 2009 in Philadelphia.

It was certainly history in the making with the Fall Classic coming to the North Side for the first time in 71 years.

I had fun with my many Cubs friends at home begging me not to return for Game 5 Sunday night, with the Cubbies on the brink of elimination. They didn’t want me to go to Cleveland either. I was referred to by some as Kevin the Goat.

To see the Cubbies come back to win was not surprising: It was destiny.

Now I will say, when Rajai Davis, yes, Rajai Davis, roped his game-tying homer over the left field fence in the ninth inning Wednesday night to tie Game 7 up, I thought maybe the Cubs were cursed. Maybe they would never win.

I could hear Cubs fans everywhere saying, at least the longtime sufferers, “Oh no, here we go again.” I know my Cubs fan wife got quiet.

This time, they didn’t lose.

They were no longer cursed. The Cubs were certainly blessed by the rain delay that gave them time to recover from the shock of the ninth-inning events and regroup for a team huddle that saved the day.

Some say it was the tears of all the deceased Cubs fans from heaven to share the moment with their loved ones below. It

Hey Cubs fans, what do you say?

Your Cubbies just won the World Series. Can you believe it? Did you ever think it would happen?

Deb Brokaw, 41, Cherry: Wanted this so bad for my die-hard 86-yearold dad! He has been waiting a long time for this.”

Curtis Odell, 38, Princeton: Even now, reading about, watching, listening, and talking about it seems inconceivable. I am so thankful!

Patti Blumhorst, 53, Mendota: Like Brian said this morning when he woke up — “This really wasn’t a dream — it really happened.” I would have given anything to have my Dad sitting next to me for this.

Jeanie Gelsomino, 73, Princeton: This was an amazing win for our Cubbies. And we know Danny is smiling big time in heaven with all of our family members who were big time Cub fans ... thanking God this morning for this surreal experience. Vince was also so very happy he saw a championship in his lifetime. Emotional night for him as he recalled so many Cub memories shared with Danny from the time he was a little boy.

Michael May, 48, Princeton: Been waiting for them to put it all together. It’s like the horse trying to get that dangling carrot in front of his nose. He finally reaches it and finds out it’s chocolate! It’s so much sweeter than he expected!

Lisa Lally, 41, Wyanet: Just happy that my husband and children and I got to witness something so surreal in our lifetime. We bleed blue Cubbie proud. ... I held on to these words from a FB friend, “We’re about to witness the biggest come back of all time.” (That) was said on Game 4. I held on to those words.

Courtney Driscoll, 35, Princeton: The fact that Game 7 was and is arguably the biggest game in Chicago Sports History, seeing a W in extra innings, and a rain delay ... holy cow, that’s some great baseball.

As a lifetime Cubs fan, it was a privilege to witness such a monumental moment in time.

CJ Michael, 38, Princeton: I believe this about sums up my 38 years of being a Cubs fan ... Rizzo: “I’m an emotional wreck.” Ross: “Well, it’s only going to get worse.

Just continue to breathe. That’s all you can do, buddy. It’s only gonna get worse.” Rizzo: “I’m in a glass case of emotion right now.” Ross: “Wait until the 9th with this threerun lead.”

Kevin Geldean, 45, Princeton: Die-hard Cardinals fan with so many awesome playoff memories with my daughter. I’m so happy all you Cubs fan can share those same memories now. Take it easy on us the next few years!

Scott Schennum, 47, Princeton:

Hieronymus From Page 11 was definitely destiny.

An eerie, apocalyptic tweet from 2014 appeared forecasting the Cubs and the Indians would be tied in extra innings in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series and the world would end.

Well, we’re still here and the Cubbies are World Series champions.

The stories you hear of Cubs fans celebrating the World Series championship are heart-warming.

Like the 68-year-old Cubs fan from North Carolina who drove 600 miles to the Indianapolis area to listen to Game 7 with his father’s grave. They made a promise in 1980 they

I’m speechless. ... That’s rare. Some kid sitting next to me said, ‘Why so nervous?’ ... Me: “Um, ‘84 and ‘03.’ Very similar to Game 6 of 2003 Cubs/Marlins NLCS. Nell Nyman, 88, Princeton: Through her granddaughter, Nell said she didn’t think she would ever see it happen, but she’s glad she did. She said she couldnt go to sleep not knowing if the won or not.

Mick Peterson, Pontiac (Walnut): A moment in history in which people will always remember where they were when it happened. And then remembering all those before us we would have loved to share it with.

Randy Allen, 46, Princeton: I’ve been waiting my whole life for this.

I’ve taken a fair share of ribbings from my Cardinal friends for years.

To see how the Cubs organization systematically assembled this team is amazing. It just brings my faith to believe that the NL Central is the best division in baseball. I can’t wait for next season already!

David Camp, Princeton: It was amazing to see and hear all the Cubs fans here in Orlando, Fla. To see how Cubs followers are everywhere and in such large groups. It was truly a historical and amazing night!

Tim Cowser, 37, Tiskilwa: (Kris)

would listen to the game together when the Cubs made the World Series and he wasn’t going to let his dad down.

Like my neighbor, Linda Bacon of Princeton, who proudly flew the Cubs flag her father raised in 2003 during the Cubs infamous run in the NLCS. Bill Nelson Sr., 95, of Princeton, gathering with a large group of family and friends to watch the games.

The many, many fans who have left newspaper headlines and Cubs memorabilia on loved ones’ graves across the country to share the good news.

There are countless and never-ending similar stories like that everywhere.

I’m writing this piece Friday morning from

Bryant’s smile as he scoops up that slow roller and makes the throw to first to end the game sums it all up.

Tim Schlund, 39, Streator (Princeton): November 2, 2016 ... a day that I will remember as long as I live.

I have waited my entire life for this to happen. But as happy as I am for my own sake, I think I’m even happier for all of those people who have lived much longer lives than me who have endured this title drought.

I think about my grandma, Martha Schlund, who will be 95 years old Nov. 21. She has cheered for the Cubs her entire life, and she finally got the opportunity to celebrate a World Series championship. Thank you, Chicago Cubs!

Dick Volker, 81, Princeton: I have enjoyed being a huge Cubs fan through thick and thin. Calls from family and friends were coming in late last night after the championship and again this morning congratulating me. I have witnessed the championship and now will be at peace with death.

Laurie Polte, 55, Spring Valley: I have waited all my life for this.

Wishing I could celebrate with my parents and Papa, but I know they’re celebrating all together with so many other fans who didn’t live long enough to see this day. Only

Bureau County while watching the Cubs victory parade in the midst of masses in Chicago. You no longer have to wait til next year anymore, as next year has arrived. Who knows, maybe next year will be just as memorable.

As a Cardinals fan, I didn’t know how’d I ever react if the Cubbies won the World Series. Well, the sun did rise the next day and it’s going to be OK. I can live with it.

For now, Cubbies fans, enjoy the moment. Your team is no longer the lovable losers. I salute you.

Kevin Hieronymus is the BCR Sports Editor and Cards fan now borrowing the phrase wait til next year. Contact him at khieronymus@bcrnews.com.

other true Cubs fans will ever understand. Today, I cry, smile and feel so lucky. I’m planning on going to the parade and to Barrington, where my parents’ cemetery is, to leave a momento and share some stories.

Go Cubs Go! Carolyn Diller, 82, Princeton: Always been a Cub fan and married a Cub fan. Bill died five years ago.

Always said he wouldn’t live long enough to see them win it, so I watched every play for him.”

Chris Eggers, 36, Princeton: Like so many Cubs fans, I have been waiting my whole life. I have a lot of friends that are Cardinals fans and White Sox fans that have given me my share of hard times. Telling me they have at least seen a championship in their lifetime and I never would. So I have to say it feels amazing to now say I have too!

Terry Dumyahn, 52, Princeton: I was raised near Comiskey Park so I’ve never really displayed my liking for the Cubs. Been a lifelong fan, and I’m still in awe that I could say I saw them win a World Series. I never really imagined seeing them win it, not that I could not believe they would. I just never thought I would be lucky enough to watch history unfold before my eyes.”

Roger Lowe, 62, Princeton: 108

stitches on a baseball, 108 years since a title. Coincidence? I think not.

Shawn Doubet, 50, Peoria (Princeton): For me, it is still a bit surreal.

I am so happy that they won it. This Cubs team won 114 games, and embraced the targets that were on its back all year long: the target of expectations, the target of the 108year drought, the target of being the best team in baseball over 162 games. I am especially happy for my lifelong Cubs fan daughter who only had to wait 26 years for her beloved Cubs to win it all!

Josh Simpkins. 41, Ogden, UT (Van Orin): It was the best baseball game I’ve ever watched. Most exciting ... most historic ... most emotional ... and brought back so many memories of watching the Cubs with my dad and grandma. I just imagine how happy they would be right now!

Kevin Alt, 33, Princeton: I still haven’t processed all the emotions.

Every time I hear on TV or on the radio, “The 2016 World Series Champions,” I don’t know if I should smile or scream, but I find myself just getting teary eyed. Watching the Cubs my whole life, wanting this, waiting for this. The day Theo was hired I knew things were different, from top to bottom was different.

Everything I ever knew or thought about the Cubs was different. And last night when Bryant threw the ball to Rizzo. It was a giant exhale ... things are different. The Cubs are World Series Champions.

Steve Nelson, 47, Princeton: After riding the emotional roller coaster of the Cubs’ past failures as well as this year’s playoffs and World Series, I really had no emotion last night except relief. It has taken a full day to process the true feeling of joy and excitement. The story lines are just amazing and I’m proud to be a lifelong Cubs fan.

Chris Waca, 43, Plano (Princeton): I don’t know if I can say I ever thought it would it happen other than continue to believe. I have always hoped for the Cubs to be World Champions. I remember the agony of ‘84, ‘89, ‘98, ‘03, ‘07, ‘08, ‘15, and of course, ‘05. I just wish it would have happened when my grandpas were still alive and many other Cubs fans who have passed since their last title. It was long overdue. I hope that Cub fans never have to wait that long again.

Brian Chasteen, 41, LaMoille: Down 3-1 in the series, but I never stopped believing in them. I was sick to my stomach from two hours

“I hope we can say we lost to the state champions. That’s a heckuva team. That No. 5 (Brittney Litton) is incredible. When you play like that you hope to contain them, you’re definitely not going to stop them. We didn’t do enough a good enough job to contain her tonight.” • Coach Hallie Monroe

Lady Lions From Page 11 have words. Just awesome girls, awesome communities. I’m blessed to have been a part of these 14 girls’ experience. I’m an equal to them and I’m so blessed.”

LaMoille/Ohio (24-13) dug in for battle early, tying the first set at 4 on an Alana Cherry ace a sideout kill by Lexi Loftus.

Then it got away from them in a hurry.

The Geese regained control with leads of 9-5, 12-6 and 14-7 before lefty striker Paige Conner hit off a block for a L/O sideout.

Maddi Deery hit for another L/O sideout at 17-10, and two hitting errors by the Geese brought the Lady Lions within 17-12.

That was close as they’d get the rest of the first set.

“They came out fired up. They have a lot of experience in situations like this having gone to state last year,” Monroe said. “I don’t question whether our girls were ready mentally or not. We were ready to go. But, yeah, when they swing off points like that in row, three points feel like 30.”

Johnson said Wethersfield’s record and reputation may have got the best of them.

“I think we could have played with a little more confidence. I feel like we were a little nervous when we came out, because we knew their record was good. They only one

lost game. But we gave it our best shot,” Johnson said.

The Flying Geese lived up to their nickname, taking off in the second set. They put two streaks of seven points to take leads of 9-1 and 16-2. Loftus hit for a kill after a sideout to make it 21-7. Conner hit for another sideout, and L/O added a point off its service to make it 22-9, but had too much of a deficit to overcome, falling 25-10.

“I hope we can say we lost to the state champions. That’s a heckuva team.” Monroe said. “That No. 5 (Brittney Litton) is incredible. When you play like that you hope to contain them, you’re definitely not going to stop them. We didn’t do enough a good enough job to contain her tonight.”

“They are good. We respect them, they are a good team. Can’t take that away from them,” Loftus said. “I’m glad we lost to somebody who was third in the state. To play somebody (like that), that was amazing. It’s only going to make us better. Next year’s going to be an excellent season.”

Monroe said it’s a little early to talk about next year, but added, “That’s Lexi.”

Loftus (8) and Conner (7) combined for 15 kills to lead L/O at the net. Maddi Deery (9 assists) and Conner (8) split the setting duties with Johnson coming up with 11 digs and Cherry with seven.

before the first pitch of Game 7 until the final out of the game.

It was such a crazy game, I may have yelled, swore and threw a few things during the game, but in the end I had tears of joy. It is unbelievable to think how many people have waited for this moment over the last 108 years and I was lucky enough to see it. A night I will never forget!

Amy Stevens 44, Champaign (Princeton): It was the best, most intense, hugely dramatic, and absolutely riveting game to watch. I loved that they had the microphones on Ross and Rizzo. What a touching moment. It was truly magical and awesome to experience and witness!

Dave McFadden, 69 (Walnut): My dad introduced me to the Cubs at an early age.

My life was always involved in sports and one constant was being true to the Cubs, win or lose. This year was a joy to watch the way they carried themselves and how the young players developed with great guidance by the veterans. Bright days lie ahead.

Jody Bates, 51, Princeton: I watched baseball with my dad while growing up. I remember it being a huge “perk” to be able to stay up late during the week to watch the World Series. My dad was a huge Cubs fan and he would just shake his head when they would lose. Dad passed away the beginning of August and he would have loved this World Series.

Bureau Valley High School students and staff turned out in force Thursday, wearing their Chicago Cubs’ gear to celebrate the World Series champion Chicago Cubs.

Bloomington: I grew up in Walnut and I think I spent every summer day at the ball field. I remember sitting on our front porch on Rodney Avenue listening to Cubs baseball on the radio and keeping the box scores on paper. Mom always had the Cubs on if she could be home and her love continued with calls to her sister, Aunt Dorothy Philbrook, after she and Dad moved to Alaska.

All I know is her love of the Cubs and my love of baseball always kept us connected.

Thanks Mom for getting me through all these years as a never failing Cubs fan.

Mike Vaughn, 65, Princeton: The front page photo on today’s Chicago Tribune pretty much sums it up for me ...108 years of frustration turned to instant mass euphoria as Rizzo squeezed the ball for that final out. Also the look on Kris Bryant’s face as he fielded the ball and threw

to first for the final out was priceless. The last three innings were gut wrenching, physically exhausting and frustrating. And when you add in the story lines for both teams, the rain delay, the lead changes and uncertainty until the final out was made ... one of the best World Series games ever played!

Mike Robinson, 31, LaMoille: I grew up watching the Cubs with my grandpa, Harold, and he passed his joy and sorrow of them on to me. I am now passing it on to my boys. When the final out came last night, years of sadness and heartbreak went away. Couldn’t find the words to say so I stood there with my hands on my head.

Grandpa Harold was the first person I thought of. He taught me the love of baseball and he loved the Cubs. He died in ‘96, but I know he was watching with me last night.

Bill Nelson Sr., 96, Princ-

eton: Bill says that baseball, including the Cubs, unifies people that would normally would have no reason to come together. He’s waited a long time for a Cubs winner, so this year is special for him.

He said it took a special manager (Maddon) to pull together the right team this time, and said all the stars aligned this season.

Phyllis Cardenas, 82, Blue Island: I waited 82 years to see the Cubs win the Championship. I sleep like a baby!

Cari Hieronymus, Atlanta, Ill.: I think it is cool. I am happy to see so many friends and family celebrating a grand season. Seeing Chicago decked out and people smiling rather than rioting against each other and the police is great. Being a Cardinal fan I know how it feels. It is so much more fun being a winner. I don’t like that kicked in the gut feeling when you lose a big game.

Lady Devils From Page 11 “We won a regional, but that’s not our ultimate goal. We all have expectations. Everyone has expectations,” Holman said. “Expectations are what they are and we need to realize those goals before we can get ahead of ourselves.”

Expect to see Galassi (First team TRAC All-Conference) to continue to improve as she enters her fourth season at the varsity level for the Lady Devils. Galassi doubled her scoring average from her sophomore to junior campaigns with 16.9 points per game while also leading the Lady Devils in rebounding (8.6) and steals (3.1). She led the Lady Red Devils to their first regional title since the 2011-2012 season.

All five projected starters, Galassi, seniors Jenna Lusietto (6-0/C), Abby Hoscheid (5-9/F) and Rena Barroso (5-2/G) and juniors Madi Soldati (5-4/G, have all seen their fair share of varsity minutes.

“We have a lot of varsity experience, but it’s only an advantage for

the first few weeks of the season,” Holman said. “It’s my job as a coach to push them and make them better.

We’re going through that right now as a team. How can I make them better? What can we do to make each other better? Our goal is to become better basketball players and become a better basketball team.”

Numerous teams will key on Galassi, as she and the Devils offense will face multiple types of defensive looks aimed at stopping the talented guard. That strategy will only go so far as that will leave other avenues for talented Lady Devils, especially Barroso (Second Team TRAC All-Conference), to make their mark in the box score.

Barroso took advantage of the teams that keyed too heavily on her counterpart in Galassi to the tune of 8.6 ppg, 2.1 steals per game and led the Lady Devils with assists (2.7).

Other returning letterwinners are seniors Erin Riordan (5-9/C) and Faith Whightsil (5-5/F). Junior squad members include Aryah Parker (5-8/ F), Olivia Orlandi (5-6/F), Courtney Kobold (5-6/G-F) and Jocelyn Islas-Garcia (5-4/G).

Freshman Hanah Hart (5-8/G-F) is expected to get considerable minutes. Also brought up to the varsity are sophomores Tori Bogatitus (5-4/ G) and Gabby Englehart (5-6/F), who split time on the sophomore squad.

The Lady Devils will play an aggressive, fast-paced style of ball that will be hard to keep pace with as the experience level for Hall will be a decisive factor in many of their contests this season.

“We will be fast this year and I expect players like Jenna Lusietto, Abby Hoscheid, Madi Soldati to really step up and fill their roles. Those three, along with Hunter (Galassi) and Rena (Barroso), mixed with the other girls coming off the bench, we’ll be fine,” Holman said. “I have complete confidence that the girls we have starting and the girls we have coming off the bench will be solid and will be able to do what is asked of them.”

Hall will get its first crack at putting a check mark in the win column on the road Nov. 16 at 5:45 p.m. in Amboy.

November and still no killing frost The 2016 harvest season is nearing its conclusion, aided by a stretch of unseasonably warm days.

It is unusual to complete the first week of November in Northern Illinois and have yet to experience a killing frost. This weather pattern, in addition to preventing most from winterizing their lawn mowers, has resulted in an abundance of harvested fields that now appear green.

Some are the result of interseeded cover crops, but most are volunteer corn or soybean emerging post-harvest. Despite the record yields harvested in 2016, it is obvious some was left in the field. This serves as a reminder and the value in calibrating combines to limit harvest loss. The generally accepted values for estimating field loss is two kernels for corn or four soybean seeds per square foot are equivalent to a bushel per acre.

As the crop was harvested, many farmers with on-farm storage took advantage and filled bins as full as possible. Plenty of grain went into storage with temperatures in the 60s. With grain this warm, moisture migration within the grain mass and spoilage can occur very quickly, even

with fairly dry grain. Grain spoilage is prevented by drying, — 15 percent or below for long-term corn storage, and 13 percent or less for soybean.

Spoilage can also be prevented by lowering the grain mass temperature. When we experience a drop in daily temperatures, stored grain should be cooled. We recommend stored grain to be cooled to 30-40 degrees for winter storage, and the sooner we get grain temperatures down, the better. Fans might need to be run several times to get grain down to wintertime storage temperatures.

The time required to completely cool a bin of grain depends on fan size. It is best to measure the temperature of the air coming out of the grain to see if cooling is complete. It is also much better to error on the side of running the fan too long rather than turning it off too soon.

If grain is dried down to the proper moisture and correctly cooled, it should store very well through the winter. Even so, it is best to check stored grain at least every two weeks during the winter and once a week in warmer weather.

We will be looking forward to

Russ Higgins COMMENTARY sharing 2016 research data generated by the University of Illinois once the results are finalized. The Illinois Variety Testing results for corn and soybean have already been posted. The University of Illinois Variety Testing program is a free resource of yield information for corn, soybean and small grain information. Replicated trials are conducted across the state and the information is downloadable in a PDF or Excel spreadsheet that allows farmers to easily search the data. The online information can be accessed by typing in Illinois variety testing in your search engine or visiting the following URL: http://vt.cropsci. illinois.edu/.

Several upcoming programs that can be added to your calendar include the 2016 Illinois Farm Economics Summit, specifically designed for farm operators, lenders, land owners and other agribusiness professionals.

Locations include:

• Tuesday, Dec. 13,- DeKalb Faranda’s Banquet Center.

• Wednesday, Dec. 14, - Peoria - Par-A-Dice Hotel Casino.
