Mother Nature can’t phase AOP’s superheroes

By Vinde Wells Editor Mother Nature showed off her Jekyll and Hyde personality traits for Oregon’s Autumn on Parade festival last weekend, but Spiderman and his friends didn’t care.

The mercury hovered below the 50-degree mark on Saturday with a raw wind and intermittent rain until late afternoon when the sun finally broke through.

But that brisk taste of winter-to-come didn’t phase Spiderman, Captain America, or Wonder Woman— strolling entertainers who matched this year’s theme “Autumn of Superheroes”.

Spiderman playfully teased kids with silly string while jumping on and off barricades as he worked the crowd around the courthouse square.

Zakari and Michael Owens, ages 4 and 7, Leaf River, had a friendly sword battle with the super figure as their grandmother Maggi McCallum, Allenton, Wis., watched while pushing a stroller with a large pumpkin in it.

“We are having a blast and we found the best pumpkin here and bought it,” she said.

Spiderman then bounced away and jumped on a barricade as Wonder Woman sang and played the guitar to the delight of smaller children.

“We’re a buzz, buzz, buzz bumble bee,” she sang as Charlie Collins, Mt. Morris, and Benjamin Ferris, age 3, Roanoke, ran around her in a circle.

Johnna and Windy DeClue, Ottawa, and didn’t mind the light rain as they walked by the festival’s court with their

dog, Teddy Bear, wrapped inside Windy’s coat.

“We’ve been coming here for the last 5-6 years,” Johnna said. “We camp at Lowden State Park. We just love everything. The food is great and everyone is so nice.”

Sunday brought clear skies and warmer temperatures into the upper 50s.

“Saturday was a little cold and rainy, but Sunday made up for it,” said festival president Marseyne Snow.

“I think it went very well overall. People had a good time.”

Bundled in sweatshirts and jackets, the crowd filled the sidewalks all along the Harvest Time Parade route on Sunday afternoon.

Shanda Henry, Oregon, was there with her pet iguana Rex relaxing on her shoulder.

“I try to take him out to let people pet him,” she said.

“He is a conversation piece.

If I would let him down he would go. I hold on to him and have a leash.”

The crowd cheered when parade veteran Max Armstrong, a renowned agricultural broadcaster, came driving through on his Farmall M tractor.

Armstrong said he enjoys the people he has met over the years at AOP, as well as around the country.

“I have been so privileged to meet so many people over the year,” he said. “I have been on their farms, and I feel like a part of their families.”

Snow said the parade with its bands, colorful floats, the South Shore Drill Team and the Jesse White Tumblers was, as always, one of the festivals highlights.

“Our 5K went especially well, too,” Snow said. “We had more than 400 runners. It was a slightly new course and they seemed to enjoy it.”

The Olde English Faire at Stronghold Castle two miles north of Oregon also drew a crowd Sunday.

Marie Vitek, Scotland S.D., was shopping at a booth offering hairpieces with a Medieval flavor.

She said she was in Oregon visiting her brother, George Bouska, and decided to come to the festival.

“This is part of our itinerary,” she said with a smile. “This is fun.”

Back in town, Barbara Josetti, Byron, who attends AOP every year, was shopping her friend Cindy Turn to A3

A Rochelle man has been appointed the coordinator of the Ogle County Emergency Management Agency (OCEMA).

Ogle County Board Chairman Kim Gouker announced last week in a press release that he appointed Thomas E. Richter, 58, to the post on Oct. 1.

Richter will be paid an annual salary of $51,000, more than half of which is reimbursed by the state.

Richter replaces Candace Humphrey, who stepped down on Aug. 15.

Gouker had appointed Richter as interim coordinator on Aug. 29.

Richter is a long time resident of Ogle County, and has 26 years of emergency incident related experience throughout the country, and served as part of the incident management team during the 2008 floods in Quincy.

Most recently, he served as the deputy branch director for National Incident Management System (NIMS), training and exercises at MABAS-Illinois (Mutual Turn to A3

Stinging criticism aimed at beekeeeper

By Vinde Wells Editor Two Polo residents had stinging comments about one of their neighbors at Monday night’s city council meeting.

Connie Simonnet, 111 N. Barber Ave., and Laurie Church, 107 N. Barber Ave., complained that Mike Scholl, who owes a lot with only a garage between their houses, is keeping honey bees in violation of city ordinances.

They said they have both called the police several times when they saw bees on Scholl’s property.

Police Chief Dennis Christen said Tuesday that when he has responded to the calls about the bees, he has not found Scholl to be violating the ordinances about beekeeping.

Simonnet said Scholl has what he calls a wax melter on a lot he owns between her house and Church’s. She said she believes it’s really a beehive.

“I don’t care what he calls it, there’s bees in it,” she said.

The neighborhood had no Turn to A3

Vendors report brisk sales despite weather From A1 Baker, Winnebago, at the Farmers Market and Craft Show on the courthouse square.

Baker was there for the first time.

“It’s cool,” she said. “I’m really enjoying it.”

“I’m taking her to the Food Court next,” Josetti promised.

Even with temperatures in the 40s Saturday, vendors

reported brisk sales.

Charlie Clothier, who was manning the Polo Knights of Columbus booth said the organization started the festival with 400 of their popular coffee cakes and sold nearly 300 on Saturday.

By noon on Sunday they were down to 25.

“We’re about out,” Clothier said with a grin.

Lynnette Hough, Mt. Morris, also reported good sales Sunday at her family’s maple syrup booth.

“Saturday was good, too, except for the morning,” she said.

Linda Borneman, Leaf River, agreed. “Today is so much better,” she said Sunday.

“Yesterday was slow. It got much better when the sun came

out.”

Snow said Tuesday that the community’s involvement in the festival is the key to its success.

“We certainly couldn’t do it without sponsors and all of the people who volunteer for the weekend,” she said.

Chris Johnson and Earleen Hinton contributed to this story.

Neighbors complain about honey bees From A1 problem with bees, she said, until a few years ago when Scholl bought the lot, which is at 109 N. Barber Ave. He lives across the street at 110 N. Barber Ave. Although city ordinances prohibit beekeeping within the city limits, the council gave Scholl permission last year to have small hives, called nucs, on the property from Sept. 15 through March 15 on a trial basis. Two

aldermen, Louise Hall and Cheryl Galor, voted no.

Scholl asked for the nucs to raise queens for the larger hives he keeps at various locations outside of the city.

He said the queens are fragile when they are hatching and require frequent tending.

In March of this year, Scholl asked the council to extend the time he could have the nucs to year-round, but that request was rejected.

Scholl did not attend

Monday night’s meeting but did submit a letter to the city council.

The letter said that at this time of year he is finishing the honey extraction process and preparing the empty frames from his hives for winter.

“After the extraction process, there is still a small amount of honey in the frames. Bees can smell honey for miles around and are attracted to anything sweet,” the letter read. “This time of

year the bees are scavenging skills Sunday at Stronghold Castle’s Olde English Faire. every bit of honey and plant Photo by Vinde Wells pollen (flowers, vegetables, shrubs and herbs) they can find before winter.”

He said the county and its various emergency services agencies are very well prepared for disasters and emergencies, natural or manmade.

“I’m a believer in the three Cs of communication, coordination, and cooperation,” he said.

He said the police and fire departments in the county are very cooperative and have good assets to

respond to emergencies.

Richter said he hopes to develop programs and information to assist residents and businesses in case of a crisis.

Gouker said Richter’s experience will be an asset.

“It is a real pleasure to have the services of a longtime professional like Tom Richter, to be able to serve the citizens of Ogle County, and to work to ensure their

safety and develop the necessary preparedness for any disaster or incident that may occur in our county,” he said. “We are fortunate to have Tom here, and I look forward to working with him on that mission.”

First group of bison arrives at Nachusa Grasslands

By Jermaine Pigee Sauk Valley Media After an absence of nearly 200 years, bison have returned to the tall grass prairies of Illinois.

About 20 American bison arrived at the old Holland farm site at Nachusa Grasslands in Franklin Grove late Friday evening.

They arrived in livestock trailers from Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota and are currently housed inside a corral.

Specialists say having bison is necessary to restoring the prairie in the grasslands.

“Bison eat grass and that helps native forbs [flowers] thrive,” said Cody Considine, restoration ecologist at the Grasslands. “We expect there will be a better balance, and that will help other species of the prairie.”

The bison will spend several weeks in the corral before being released into larger trap pastures, where they will gradually acclimate to their new 500-acre home.

Eventually, they will have about 1,500 acres of land to roam at Nachusa Grasslands, 8772 S. Lowden Road, Franklin Grove.

It’s a soft release designed to minimize the stress on the animals. In about a month, Considine said about 20 more will come to the grasslands.

He called the bison the keystone species of the prairie.

“With bison grazing and eating the grass, that opens space up for the flowers,” he said. “There is a lot more here than just grass. We have about 800 plants on the preserve.”

At least 30 million bison grazed the North American prairies in the 1500s, allowing plants to grow and attract native animals. But over-hunting killed most of the iconic creatures, crushing the population to fewer than 1,000 by the 1800s, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

With the help of ranchers and conservationists, bison have made a comeback.

To ensure that the animals are having a positive effect on the land, a few of the bison will wear GPS collars that will provide daily data and give scientists information on where the animals graze.

The microchips also will contain data about the animal, including its age, weight, and DNA profile.

Beginning next fall, there will be visiting areas where the public will be able to watch the herd. Programming will be added to help teach visitors about the bison and how they’ll benefit the preserve.

Visitors will be able to

hike the preserve and stop by viewing areas to see the social animals that weigh from 1,100 to 2,000 pounds.

Volunteers will lead tours.

“We will hire a contractor to design the visiting areas, and construction could start by next summer,” Considine said.

Until then, the public will have to wait to see the bison, unless they are able to catch a glimpse of the animals while driving down South Lowden Road.

“This is a working area, and we don’t want anyone up here right now,” Considine said. “It will be hard for the public to see anything at first, because the bison will be in the corral for 2 or 3 more An American bison gets used to his new surroundings Saturday after arriving at the weeks. Plus right now, we Nachusa Grasslands Friday night. For a few weeks the buffalo will stay in the pen have a smaller herd.” before being allowed to roam the prairie. Photo by Alex Paschal

Parade caps off weekend for 44th AOP festival

From A1 Rex relaxing on her shoulder.

“I try to take him out to let people pet him,” she said.

“He is a conversation piece.

If I would let him down he would go. I hold on to him and have a leash.”

The crowd cheered when parade veteran Max Armstrong, a renowned agricultural broadcaster, came driving through on his Farmall M tractor.

Armstrong said he enjoys the people he has met over the years at AOP, as well as

around the country.

“I have been so privileged to meet so many people over the year,” he said. “I have been on their farms, and I feel like a part of their families.”

Snow said the parade with its bands, colorful floats, the South Shore Drill Team and the Jesse White Tumblers was, as always, one of the festivals highlights.

“Our 5K went especially well, too,” Snow said. “We had more than 400 runners.

It was a slightly new course and they seemed to enjoy it.”

The Olde English Faire at Stronghold Castle two miles north of Oregon also drew a crowd Sunday.

Marie Vitek, Scotland S.D., was shopping at a booth offering hairpieces with a Medieval flavor.

She said she was in Oregon visiting her brother, George Bouska, and decided to come to the festival.

“This is part of our itinerary,” she said with a smile. “This is fun.”

Back in town, Barbara Josetti, Byron, who attends

AOP every year, was shopping her friend Cindy Baker, Winnebago, at the Farmers Market and Craft Show on the courthouse square.

Baker was there for the first time.

“It’s cool,” she said. “I’m really enjoying it.”

“I’m taking her to the Food Court next,” Josetti promised.

Even with temperatures in the 40s Saturday, vendors reported brisk sales.

Charlie Clothier, who was

manning the Polo Knights of Columbus booth said the organization started the festival with 400 of their popular coffee cakes and sold nearly 300 on Saturday.

By noon on Sunday they were down to 25.

“We’re about out,” Clothier said with a grin.

Lynnette Hough, Mt. Morris, also reported good sales Sunday at her family’s maple syrup booth.

“Saturday was good, too, except for the morning,” she said.

Linda Borneman, Leaf River, agreed. “Today is so much better,” she said Sunday. “Yesterday was slow. It got much better when the sun came out.”

Snow said Tuesday that the community’s involvement in the festival is the key to its success.

“We certainly couldn’t do it without sponsors and all of the people who volunteer for the weekend,” she said.

Chris Johnson and Earleen Hinton contributed to this story.

New bicycle racks installed in five areas in downtown Oregon Bicycle enthusiasts now have additional parking available in downtown Oregon.

The Oregon Park District and City of Oregon were recipients of a grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

“New bike racks in the downtown area will provide safe and secure access for cyclists, helping promote tourism and support to the many small businesses that

exist within the community,” said a news release from the park district.

Bicycle racks have or will be placed at the Nash Recreation Center, City Hall, the Third Street parking lot, Ogle County Courthouse along Washington Street, and the Oregon Coliseum.

These locations are within the Illinois Lincoln Highway Corridor.

The bike rack design features the Illinois Byway

logos and QR codes, allowing visitors to obtain information about the byway. Each code will provide information about local community attractions, dining, lodging, and in some cases other bike paths and trail systems.

In 2012, the Oregon Park District and City or Oregon combined efforts to designate a community bike trail along city streets and park district trails.

Three Oregon golfers advance to Oct. 13 sectional

By Andy Colbert Reporter In a normal year, Oregon’s score of 341 would be enough to advance out of a 1A golf regional. The Byron 1A regional was not normal on Tuesday, and Oregon failed to advance as a team to the sectional.

“This is a tough regional,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. “Whoever gets out has a good chance of getting out

of the sectional. I wouldn’t be surprised if all three teams make it.”

Besides perennial power Byron, the IHSA assigned defending state runner-up North Shore Country Day, and a strong Westminster Christian team.

Add Rockford Christian to the mix, and Oregon coach Jim Spratt knew his team would need to be in the same form it was when it won two major tournaments earlier in the

Hawks can’t catch Tigers, fall 23-13 Oregon’s chances for advancement into the IHSA playoffs were dealt a severe blow with a 23-13 loss to Byron at Landers-Loomis Field on Oct. 3.

The Hawks dropped to 2-4 overall and 1-3 in conference.

After starting the year with two losses in their first three games, Byron moved to 4-2 and 3-1.

In one of the better rivalries in northern Illinois high school football, the two teams are now tied at 22-22 in the overall series, dating back to the first year of the Mid Northern conference in 1972.

From the outset, the Tigers took control of the game and Oregon was forced to play catch up. Compared to its previous five games that saw a barrage of passing, the Hawks saw a mirror image of itself in the running game of Byron.

Ethan Spickler, one of three Byron backs with over 50 yards rushing, scored on a 4-yard touchdown with 7 minutes left in the second quarter. Quarterback Payton Janssen added a 14-yard run for a 12-0 lead with two minutes left before halftime.

Skylar Short gave the Hawks a spark with a 24-yard touchdown run with only 21 seconds left to cut the margin to 12-7.

Oregon was also helped by stopping the Tigers inside the 10-yard line to prevent a third

touchdown in the first half.

Hoping to take the lead after half, Oregon had trouble getting the offense going and Byron added another score for a 20-7 lead midway through the third quarter on a 2-yard touchdown run by Avery Carlson.

Garrett Rude, who led Oregon with 61 yards rushing on 12 carries, pulled the Hawks within 20-23 on a 10yard touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter.

Danny Falconer finally put the game out of reach with a 21-yard field goal with only two minutes left in the game for the final margin of victory.

Byron dominated the statistical categories also, doubling up on rushing over Oregon, 303 yards to 153.

They also had 19 first downs to 10 for Oregon. Time of possession was also in Byron’s favor, 31 minutes to 17 for Oregon.

Byron only attempted three passes, compared to 10 put up by Jerrick Orsted.

Maverik Good caught two passes for 17 yards and John Ghibellini the other one for 12 yards. Ghibellini was the second leading rusher for the Hawks with 37 yards on seven carries.

Oregon ends a 3-game homestand with Senior Night against Winnebago. The Hawks finish the season with trips to Mendota and Stillman Valley.

year.

Oregon finished fourth with a 341. North Shore Country Day, who had 4 scores between 74 and 80, took first with 309.

Byron was second with 321, and Rockford Christian had a 335 to claim the final team spot.

The best individual score mustered by Oregon was an 84 by Carson Buck. Matt Myers was close behind with an 85, followed by Taylor Brubaker and Mitchell Nehrkorn with 86s.

Buck, Myers and Brubaker qualified for the sectional.

“It was a tale of two halves for them,” Spratt said.

For example, Nehrkorn went 47-39 after a quad bogey in No. 6.

“I really played bad on the front. I’m surprised I did so much better on the back,” Nehrkorn said.

Buck was at 40-45 and Myers 40-45. Senior Taylor

Brubaker did have a 43-43 but needed pars on the final three holes to salvage the round.

“I couldn’t find the fairways,” Brubaker said. “I missed a lot of 10-15 [foot] putts I normally make here.

But, there is a big difference between an 86 and 89 and making those pars helped.”

In a three-man playoff for the 10th and final qualifying spot, Brubaker had a par to edge out Nehrkorn and Ricky Martinez of Westminster Christian.

On the playoff hole, Brubaker hit his drive wide right, and Nehrkorn went left. Martinez hit two out of bounds ending his chances.

Brubaker found the green and two-putted for his fourth consecutive par.

Nehrkorn needed a chip-in, but did not come close.

“It’s a strange anomaly to have almost four qualifiers and to have two of them in a

playoff against each other,” Spratt said.

Drew Miles of North Shore was a medalist with a 74.

Tyler Black, had a 91 and Dominic Marchetti

had a 98, as the other two Oregon golfers.

The three Oregon golfers will travel to Seneca on Monday to compete in the sectional.

Sports Column Forreston deserves the No. 1 ranking

By Andy Colbert Reporter After seeing Forreston’s football team Friday, I saw concrete evidence of why they are ranked No. 1 in Class 1A. That evidence came in the form of a brand of physicality not often seen in 1A. Not only do the Cardinals have a slew of several players that are good-sized and fast, but also they are hitters. LenaWinslow is about as good as they come in 1A and it was obvious Forreston was the more athletic of the two teams.

Throw in Robert DeVries directing the offense and the Cardinals definitely look like the frontrunners for a state

title. In comparing DeVries with Aiden Chang of Freeport Aquin, the nod goes to DeVries as the top player in the league.

Another strength of Forreston is a multifaceted offense. They can run and pass with equal effectiveness.

Their skill set on offense is what stands out, with a wide range of guys capable of playing roles, somewhat similar to how Stillman Valley normally functions on offense.

Hopefully, the leg injury that lineman Aidan Carr suffered against Le-Win sustained is not too serious.

At the 1A level, it is a killer to lose a 6-3, 255-pound player who has been on varsity for three years.

Guys like that don’t grow on trees. Well, maybe in the larger suburban schools, but not around these parts.

Something else that stood

out about Forreston was 17 seniors on the roster. That type of experience in not found much anymore, especially in the NUIC. A recent article in the Rockford Register Star spoke to a decline in numbers in that league, specifically mentioning EPC with only 33 kids total in its program.

Forreston almost has that many in its fresh-soph group.

Over the years, Forreston has done an excellent job of getting kids out for football.

They also have a winning record going back to almost two decades.

About the only thing ever holding the Cardinals back from an appearance downstate were some really tough draws in the 1A or 2A playoffs.

With all those seniors and the talent level, 2014 looks like the best opportunity for a long-awaited trip downstate.

We’ll learn more about

Forreston in the last week of the regular season when they travel to EPC for what should be 8-0 versus 8-0. Hard to handicap this one.

It will be back to Oregon this week for me, as the Hawks face a must win against Winnebago. But, this was how the season was going to play out anyway.

Oregon needed to win the close contests to have a shot at the playoffs, like they pulled off last year. The Byron loss really hurt, but falling to North Boone in Week 2 really put the team in precarious straits.

Before 1974 and the start of the playoffs, there wasn’t as much pressure to win games. All a team had to do was go out and try to win a conference title.

With post-season stakes so much higher now, the life of a high school football team has become much more

complicated.

The margin for error is razor thin, especially when your conference schedule is loaded with heavyweights, such as found in the BNC. Basically, Oregon needs to go undefeated against the teams that they have a chance to beat.

I love the playoffs, but often wonder if a monster was created by its inception.

Depending on one’s expectations, they can give us the lowest of lows and the highest of highs.

Say Forreston loses in the semifinals by one point in overtime. At that point, you kind of wish the playoff had never been invented so you wouldn’t have had to experience the agony of defeat.

Ask people in Oregon about the lingering emotional hangover of losing a heartbreaker to Illini West six

Andy Colbert

years ago.

But, if Forreston goes on the a state-title run, it is the highest of highs that never would have been attained by simply beating an undefeated EPC team in the Week 9 for the conference title.

Playoffs of not, high school football has and will continue to be pretty darn enjoyable.

It was just a lot simpler before 1974.

Sunset Golf News Golf course is still in excellent condition

By Bill Coffman So long Summer and hello Autumn. Where did it go?

Sunset is still in excellent shape and we’ve got some playdays still on schedule for October.

September was a great month for golf and golf in October is a blast. Come out for 9 and play 18.

Here’s some news and notes to get you caught up on what you already experienced or may have missed.

Course Improvements– We’ve purchased a new piece of golf course equipment.

Local merchant Mike Burright gave us a great deal on a new mower.

The new mower is being used to mow our around teeboxes and any areas on the fairways not accessible to the fairway mower.

Over the years this mower will save us many man hours of mowing and keep the course looking its usual wonderful self.

Recent Club Happenings Old Home Week was another great success this year.

Congratulations, Sunset committee, and the many volunteers that help make this weekly event a great addition to our overall Mt. Morris 4th of July Celebration.

We added to the week’s activity this year an Old Home Week Senior Playday.

It was very well attended and plans are already in place for next year along with some suggested changes including the use of Senior Tee-boxes for our Senior-Seniors.

Look on the website or Facebook the upcoming 2015 schedule. For anyone planning to make Mt. Morris their destination over the 4th of July next year, come out to the course and visit and play some golf, or sign up to play one of the playdays.

To make suggestions or

comments to make Old Home Week even better drop note in the mail or send an e-mail.

Also this year we asked for Old Home Week Hole Sponsors.

Special thanks to the following companies or organizations.

Your donations helped defray some costs of the tournament and some of the funds went into the Sunset General fund for course and clubhouse improvements.

Sunset and the Annual Old Home Week next won’t be the same next year without one of our favorite people looking over the Pit during the tournaments.

We lost a true gentleman earlier this summer when our own Sam Thomas passed away. We’ll miss Sam’s presence, his willingness to volunteer, generosity and that voice over The Pit to let us know if “You’re Putting!”, “Good Shot!” or on rare occasion, “It’s in the hole!”

May God bless Sam Thomas.

News and Notes: 2014 Junior Golf Lessons.

This year’s lead instructor Salley Wessels commented on the summer session.

“Sunset was great in letting me do what I requested-holding holes one, two, and ten open as we were going to use them, letting us chip to #1 green, having the learning links mowed, etc.

Special thanks to the Greens Keepers for the extra effort they provided in giving us a “classroom” for teaching

the great game of golf,” she said.

A total of 33 signed up for lessons and had three different sessions based on how many years they had taken lessons.

Golfers were moved to appropriate group as the sessions progressed. We started June 4 and concluded with a special scramble fun event combining all groups Monday, July 21.

Etiquette, for the golfer as well as their surroundings, was stressed where applicable at all three levels.

The more experienced group learned about goal setting, expectation level, trouble shots, tweaking their swings, practicing with a purpose, and playing their game.

Students in the middle group practiced working on a better swing, practicing with a purpose, importance of the short game, and improving overall skill.

The youngest group of students learned the basics of the swing, putting, and

having fun at the game of golf, which was emphasized from the very beginning.

Paul Blanco and Sheila Davis were great helpers.

Thank you Salley for running this for us this year.

We hope you’ll be back next year.

Important Dates: Sunday, Oct. 12: Afternoon Golf and Annual Meeting.

Dinner starts at 4:30 p.m. and the meeting starts after dinner in the club house.

Participants may bring a dish to pass. Meat and refreshments will be provided. Officers will be elected that evening.

Anyone who would like to run for a position on the Sunset board can sign up at the clubhouse.

U of I offers online resource for the new farm bill The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) launched a new online resource this week to help farmers across the country make important decisions on new Farm Bill created safety net programs.

The Web tool, located at www.fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc, allows farmers to evaluate the levels of coverage offered by the new Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs.

Using the online resource, producers will be able to use data unique to their specific farming operation along with factors like geographical diversity of crops, soils, weather and climates across the country.

The data will allow them

to test a variety of financial scenarios before officially signing up for the new program options by the winter.

This will help farmers better understand and select the program they need.

“The 2014 Farm Bill offers several new programs and USDA is committed to educating farmers on these options so that producers can plan for the future and protect their business,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

“The new Web tool will help ensure that producers have the information they need to make critical decisions and better determine what participation in either program will mean for their business”.

Landowners and famers also have the option of meeting with dedicated representatives at their local Farm Service Agency office beginning Monday, Sept.

29 when landowners can update yields and reallocate base acres and later this fall, famers can make decisions on safety net options.

The Web tool was developed with a $3 million USDA grant to the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri and the Agricultural and Food Policy Center (AFPC) at Texas A&M (co-leads for the National Association of Agricultural and Food Policy), along with the University of Illinois (lead for the National Coalition for

Producer Education).

“The new resource is a user-friendly option that farmers can access from anywhere, at any time,” said Vilsack.

“They can use their home computer, Smartphone or any other mobile device to explore a variety of coverage options to determine which program is right for them”.

This summer, producers received information regarding their current base acres, yields and planting history, based on USDA records.

Farmers can now use the new Web tool to input their information and analyze their options before electing Agriculture Risk Coverage or Price Loss Coverage.

Universal Telephone Assistance Programs Administered in Illinois by the Universal Telephone Assistance Corporation (UTAC) LifeLine Program Making local phone service affordable Lifeline is a program which provides $9.25 in assistance to help pay monthly charge from local telephone service. This federally funded program is available to qualified low-income consumers. If the qualifying low-income consumer voluntarily elects toll blocking while initiating Lifeline service, a service deposit is not required. If toll blocking is unavailable, the carrier may charge a service deposit. Toll blocking will prevent the connection of outgoing toll calls from a residence.

Who is eligible for these programs?

You are eligible if you are a recipient of one of the following programs: Medicaid SNAP (food stamps) Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Federal Public Housing Assistance Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) National School Lunch Free Lunch Program Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) Where can I apply for the LifeLine and/or LinkUp programs?

For additional information or enrollment in these programs, contact the Leaf River Telephone Company. Link-up and Lifeline are federally funded programs. The Illinois Commerce Commission cannot guarantee that all Eligible Telecommunications Carriers will receive funding to support these programs.

Reimbursement for these programs depends on the FCC?s Fund Administrator?s management and distribution of the funds collected through universal service mechanisms.

The Universal Telephone Service Assistance Program (UTSAP) The Universal Telephone Service Assistance Program (UTSAP) is funded by voluntary contributions from Illinois ratepayers.

Consumers wishing to participate in the funding of UTSAP may do so by electing to contribute, on a monthly basis, a fixed amount to be included by the Leaf River Telephone Company on their monthly telephone bill.

Customers may designate an amount to be included each month from these choices Residential customers $ .50 $1.00 $2.00 or $5.00

Business customers $ 1.00 $10.00 or $25.00

Customers may also elect to make a onetime contribution to the UTSAP Administrator. It is the responsibility of the local exchange company to solicit, collect and remit the contributions on behalf of the customers to the UTSAP Administrator. The address of the UTSAP Administrator is: Post Office Box 1176, Springfield, Illinois 62705-1176.

The voluntary contributions assist qualified low-income customers by providing additional assistance to the Universal Telephone Assistance programs. Those who wish to apply for assistance or make a contribution to UTSAP may contact their local telephone company.

Each year the Commission determines the amount of UTSAP assistance, most recently in Docket 07-0399.

Astrograph

Don’t get caught up in trivial disagreements. Your drive to help others will put you in contact with a wide assortment of people this year. Getting along with others will be the determining factor when it comes to reaching your goals. Diplomacy equals success.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Discord and disappointment will lead to minor mishaps.

Face relationship issues that are causing you stress in order to sleep better. If you feel more at peace, you will be less likely to get sick.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Don’t be in such a rush. If your schedule is too full, it’s time to slow things down. Minor accidents are more likely to occur if you are distracted or preoccupied.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Tension and stress can be averted with some form of physical exercise. Sports, a gym membership or less-strenuous pastimes such as yoga will provide an outlet and help you relax.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If someone disagrees

with your opinion, don’t take it personally. Letting your emotions dictate your actions will cost you spiritually, physically and financially if you aren’t careful.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You will receive a tempting offer. Make sure to get all of the requirements and expectations in writing before you make a verbal commitment. Romance is on the rise.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t let others take credit for your work. Make sure that your employer knows what and how much you contribute so that your talents will be recognized and advancement will be yours.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will be bogged down with family duties. Let everyone know that you expect handson support, or you will end up tired and frustrated. It will be necessary to look out for your interests.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Keep a low profile. Dealing with relatives or friends will be troublesome. Find a worthwhile project to work on alone.

Reorganize your closet or clear up some personal papers.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Step up your physical activity.

Games or sports with younger people will be rewarding and fun, and will help to burn off some extra calories. Welcome any challenge that comes your way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t say the first thing that comes to mind. Those around you may be oversensitive, so choose your words carefully in order to avoid an unwanted argument.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Mixing business with pleasure is not a good idea. Revealing too much personal information to colleagues or friends will lead to an embarrassing or uncomfortable situation that will be difficult to reverse.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A joint financial venture will lead to problems. A more effective way to hold on to your money is to keep it in a safe place that pays interest.
