SAVANNA

City hears bridge construction update Company requests to use portions of city property and Marquette Park in order to facilitate smooth operations

By MICHAEL MILLER For Prairie Advocate

FHN FESTIVAL OF TREES

SAVANNA — The Savanna City Council heard a lengthy presentation from Paul Kraemer of Kraemer North America, the contractor responsible for the construction of the new Savanna-Sabula Bridge, who presented an overview of the project, as well as a request to use portions of city property and Marquette Park in order to facilitate the smooth operations of the project.

Kraemer proposed to use this property for a lay-down yard and also for barge access.

It would allow the company to construct a 20 to 40 foot wide temporary aggregate haul road to construct and access Pier

Celebrat! th! Season We hope you will join us at one or all of FHN’s Festival of Trees events – there’s something for everyone!

11; their plans are to install a dock wall in the area in early 2016 and this would remain in place until May of 2018, with their field office and parking to be located on the north half of the Park District property. The company would need city permission to construct and access Pier 11 along the bank of river owned by the city.

The impact of this project on citizens’ access to the park would mean no through traffic in the northern section of the park for this period. Kraemer assured the council that all areas would be put back the way they found it once the project was complete. He assured everyone that there would be no complete closures of traffic during the period,

only daily lane closures.

Savanna Superintendent of Public Works John Lindeman advised the council to Tony McCombie wait for the park Savanna district’s response mayor to the request before proceeding, and Mayor Tony McCombie asked about some type of compensation to the city for loss of the use of the park. Kraemer said the company is a “good neighbor, wherever we go. We want to make sure it’s right before we leave.”

McCombie noted that the project would generate money for hotels, MFT funds and more.

“It’s a huge economic project for the city,” she said.

According to the rep, the project is slated to begin early 2016 with building access and tree clearing, followed by the construction of a retaining wall to be completed in Novem-

Stock the Pantry Shelves a success

Christmas singers bring hope for a broken world

By TOM KOCAL Prairie Advocate

TKocal@prairieadvocate.com

LANARK — If you love to sing, but are only interested in dedicating a little bit of your time and talent, then the Northern Illinois Christmas Singers may be just what you are looking for.

The Northern Illinois Christmas Singers will be performing their Christmas Cantata entitled “Hope for a Broken World” at 7 p.m.

Saturday, Dec. 5 and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6. Both performances will be at Lanark Church of the Brethren on the corner of Pearl and High Streets in Lanark.

The holiday choir is comprised of nearly 30 talented people of all ages from the northern Illinois area. Its director is Stacy Kalina of Lanark, and they only perform once a year for the Christmas holidays.

Kalina said she has always loved music, being involved in music throughout her formative years at church and school functions. She was an All-State singer in high school, majored in music at Northern Illinois University, and has directed choirs at the Rockford United Methodist Church, Trinity Lutheran Church in Genoa, and the Pearl City Lutheran Church.

“Wherever I lived, I directed a church choir! I love it,” Kalina said.

Kalina said the group started several years ago as the Carroll County Singers,

with members from Mount Carroll, Chadwick, Lanark, and Shannon. She directed a community choir in Mount Carroll, but they wanted to do more performances than just at Thanksgiving.

So they added a Christmas Cantata. Its membership eventually expanded to Carroll County, and now, northern Illinois.

“This year, we have new members from the area, and we’re growing,” said Kalina. “That’s how we’ve grown. People come to a concert, and want to become a part of it.”

Kalina said the group offers the perfect opportunity for someone who has the talent, but not the time, to sing with a formal group.

“We always start pracafter Labor Day, and continue for the next 12 weeks up to the performance. If you are interested in just a little bit of music, feel free to join us next year. Or come to the concert and see for yourself if it’s something you are interested in,” said Kalina.

The unique duet of Mount Carroll’s Dana Tautz on dulcimer and Selena Markley of Lanark on harp will also perform.

“It’s just beautiful, and it’s a sound that you won’t hear anywhere else,” said Kalina.

“We hope you will join us for an uplifting concert, sure to put you in the Christmas spirit,” said Kalina.

A free will offering is appreciated. For more information, contact Director Stacy Kalina at 815-2914689.

“Competition Stock the Pantry Shelves” was a big success in Morrison. Over 1,200 items were donated to the Morrison Food Pantry on Nov. 11 during friendly competition between Resthave Home, Windsor Manor, Pleasant View and Morrison Community Hospital. MCH won the competition with 396 items donated.

BOB WHITTEN Guest Contributor

Hello, from beautiful, sunny Thomson, Illinois! As I write this column, I am distracted by one of the items on The Heirloom Café’s menu this month - tater tot casserole.

Of all the amazing meals Grandma Linda serves up, this one brings back many memories more than ever, and like Pavlov’s dogs, I begin to salivate as soon as I think about Linda’s delicious tater tot casserole.

Growing up in a large family, many casseroles were served up at dinnertime. The older kids always went for the crunchy top of the dish first, so I usually ended up with a plateful of mush. But, as I got older, I got more and more of the top crust, with golden brown whole tater tots and cheese, and soon this dish was at the top of my list. As I went out on my own, this casserole was one of the first dinners I learned to make, and I was very good at it. My neighbors always seemed to stop by for a visit on tater tot casserole day.

Now days, when I make tater tot casserole, even the older kids find their way to the house, some of them driving quite a ways just to belly up to the table in time for dinner.

They know Thursday night is tater tot night, and they rarely miss.

Grandma Linda’s version of tater tot casserole is almost the same as mine, but she has a few years of experience on me, and it shows. I don’t know if you have been to the Heirloom Café lately, but the food is amazing and the menu changes with the seasons, filled with a combination of

tried and true recipes that are a tradition in farm homes everywhere, and new heart healthy, cutting edge recipes that you only find in the big cities. My favorites are goulash, spaghetti, sloppy Joes, and chicken alfredo, all with home baked toast on the side. My wife goes for meals like white veggie lasagna, Greek chicken salad wraps, and Grandma Linda’s taco casserole. Whether you love home cooked farm meals or bistro style recipes, it’s all here at the Heirloom Café!

The Heirloom Market has new hours this winter, open until 6pm, with free coffee and cider from 4-6 pm, just in time for all you holiday shoppers. Heirloom Market manager Jackie is certainly in the holiday spirit, giving everyone a chance to sample the treats on sale with her “Tasty Tuesdays” events, from 11 am - 1 pm. Look for her “video specials” this year through the holidays on the Heirloom Market & Café’s Facebook page.

Get away from the crowds this holiday season. Stop in the Heirloom Market & Café, browse through the store looking for Jackie’s Christmas specials, then sit down for a great homecooked meal and a glass of delicious Brush Creek wine or a tasty craft beer.

Remember, The Heirloom Café is a great place to hold private holiday parties for family or work. The Heirloom Market & Café will be closed Thanksgiving day, but will be open Black Friday, ready for you to stop in, get away from the crowds, and make some wonderful holiday memories with family and friends. Tell them Bob sent you, and get a dollar off your meal!

Eastland earns third state title Cougars capture championship in final match for seven seniors, veteran coach

By TY REYNOLDS Sauk Valley Media treynolds@saukvalley.com

NORMAL – Coming into Saturday’s Class 1A state championship volleyball match, the Eastland Cougars hadn’t lost a set in the entire postseason, and had only lost one set to a 1A school all season long.

They still haven’t.

In the dominant fashion that the Cougars made look commonplace, they dispatched Cissna Park 25-16, 25-16 at Redbird Arena for the program’s third state champititles in 2008 and 2009.

“You always hear about dreams coming true,” said senior hitter Cassidy Logemann, breaking into tears of joy at the postgame press conference, “but this dream actually did come true.”

“It’s just crazy,” added an equally speechless Sydney Guentner, another senior. “Just crazy.”

When this group of seniors wrote down their plans to win a state championship way back in seventh grade, there’s no way they could have known it would be in such dominating fashion.

Eastland lost one set all season to a fellow 1A school.

They lost just once all year, to 3A sets; it was one of only six threeset matches the Cougars played.

They also tied 3A Kaneland at their own tournament to end the season, and beat three 3A schools and a 2A team to boot.

The 40-1-1 record goes down as the best in program history, top-

the better they play.

“It seems like they have an extra gear when the match is close – they have a lot of gears, actually – and can go on long runs when they need them late in sets or matches.”

Players wanted to finish quick, get hands on trophy TITLE

CONTINUED FROM A14

This time, the run came with Game 1 tied 14-14.

A Guentner kill and an ace

by Bubby Doubler made it 16-14, then after a hitting error, Makenzie Fink slammed back-to-back kills for an 18-15 lead. At 18-16, Fink had another kill for a sideout, then senior Bailey DeMichele stepped to the service line.

Like in Friday’s semiproceeded to anchor the setending 7-0 spurt, with an ace mixed in with two kills

by Logemann and a block from junior setter Ashley Beyers.

The Cougars carried that momentum over into Game 2, as kills by Logemann and Fink and a Cissna Park hitting error gave Eastland a quick 3-0 lead. But 12-9 was as close as the Timberwolves (33-61) would get the rest of the way, and kills by Logemann and Fink and a block

by Guentner quickly turned that three-point lead into a six-point edge.

“They have a lot of weapons, and we knew that coming in – but I really thought we could match up with them,” Cissna Park coach Josh Landon said. “We talked about it being a boxing match; they’re going to get their swings in, and we’re going to get ours.

I thought, ‘Oh here it is, 14-14, we’re going to hang right with them and this is the way it’s supposed to be.’

“And then they were able to crack off six or seven points and take that controlled the tempo of the match from there. Any time that you’re back on your heels a little bit and have a lot of out-of-system balls, you’re going to be at a disadvantage – and Eastland took every bit of advantage of that.”

And when a block by Karalicia Kennedy, an ace

by Kennedy, and another kill by Logemann made it 24-16, Eastland could taste the title. One final hitting error by Cissna Park set off a celebration with tears of joy and players jumping into each other’s arms.

“At Point 24, I think could really do this,” said Doubler, who led the backrow defense with 13 digs.

“We knew that it was ours, and we couldn’t wait to scream and celebrate.”

“I looked at Bubby and thought, ‘We can really do this,’ and I could tell she was thinking the same

Beyers dished 22 kills to go with her nine digs, three kills and two blocks, and senior Samantha Johnson had 10 digs and two blocks.

“We always say that you don’t win championships, you earn them – and this team earned it little by little until it all added up,” Pierce said. “These girls have been a source of strength and courage and motivation for me, and this is so special for them.”

She spent a few extra seconds with each of the seven going-away present for both coach and 12th graders.

But in true teammate fashion, it was a pair of juniors who felt the achievement was even more special since they got to share it with the older girls.

“This is just unreal,” Beyers said, “and I can’t put into words what it means to execute our plans and

motivation keynote speech from Rick Rigsby. His speech motivated us to make the most of every day and every moment we had,” said Murphy.

Students were also able to tour some local Kentucky places, like the Undulata Saddlebred Horse Farm and Mulberry Orchard, which grew peaches, apples, and tobacco.

“As FFA members in Illinois

we learned about some different agriculture practices which served as a great learning experience,” said Feltmeyer.

The convention experience ended with a keynote address from Amberley Snyder, a barrel racer and roper that was paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident.

“Her speech motivated us to never to give up and to always accomplish what we set our minds to. It was neat to see such a strong woman accomplish so much even after experiencing an accident as bad as hers,” said Feltmeyer. “All of the members had a fantastic time and learned a lot about leadership and accomplishing goals.”

FFA excels at Trap Shooting COLONA — The Eastland FFA Trap Shoot team aimed high, taking 1st place honors at the Fall Geneseo Trap Shooting Invitational on Saturday, Oct. 24, at the Bi-State Sportsman’s Club in Colona.

Cindy Feltmeyer, Eastland agriculture instructor and FFA advisor, said Jake Cline placed 2nd, and Austin Poffenberger took 3rd place.

Teammates included Emily Denekas, Austin Miller and Connor Erbsen. Andrew Stengel and Collin Ruthe also competed as individuals.

“Each squad had to shoot two rounds of 25 clay tions,” Feltmeyer said. “And

the team as they placed 2nd at the Section 1 trap shooting contests earlier this fall in Coleta.”

Along with the trap team competing in Colona, Feltmeyer said the archery team also competed. The archery team consists of Karalicia Kennedy, Connor Erbsen and Austin Poffenberger. They shot 10, 3-D targets and four Olympic style targets from differing distances.

“The Eastland FFA would like to thank the Coleta Sportsman’s Club, Clark Vanbuskirk, Smokin’ Gun Worx and the NRA for their support of the trap shooting and archery programs,” said Feltmeyer.

“Everyone has been very positive about the site. It is only as successful as the frequency that it is used, and nearly every day someone posts something on it. I love that people have embraced it so much and made it their own! It is not ‘my’ page — it belongs to all of us who love Hanover.

In fact, I even asked Terry to be co-administrator of the page with me, in case anything would happen to me, I wanted someone else to be able to keep the site up and running,” said Miller.

“Communication is the chief purpose of the site,” Kilpatrick Ruebner

said, “but the site is so much more than that! We cheer each other on, when someone has achieved a great success. We grieve with each other and reach out with comfort, when someone has a death in the family or is ill. We relive old memories and ‘trip down Memory Lane,’ when members post photos of our high school days, sporting events, musicals, choirs, yearbook pages, class photos, etc. We share stories and experiences that involve others on the site.

“The site has created a family feeling. I know I feel much closer to many of the

members — some of whom were in classes before mine and I didn’t know them when I was an elementary student at Hanover. It’s like we’re all living in the same neighborhood, when in fact, many of us are spread out around the country and the world!”

The Hanover School District consolidated with the Elizabeth schools in 1986 to form the River Ridge District. Whatever the future holds for Hanover and its residents, it seems that the legacy of their high school days is safe and will be lovingly preserved on Facebook for years to come.

“We had the most amazing night with the Scouts. In one hour we teamed up and did a divide and conquer, and the drive was a huge success!” said Katie Reifsteck, Girl Scout leader.

“Thank you all to our community that made this so special for our Scouts. I loved hearing from the new little ones how cool it was they got one can or even a sack full. These kids enjoyed every bit of tonight.

“Not only did our communities donate enough

Brown also challenged the FFA members in attendance to make “Better be the Best.”

COME AND SEE WHY WE ARE #1 IN USED CARS! 3RD CAR, FAV PLACE TO SHOP

BY WILL STUDER FROM STERLING, IL | OCTOBER 29, 2015

Everybody hates car shopping, and I am not any different. I just bought my 3rd card from them and I love it. They sell quality used vehicles at a low price, but more importantly they are no pressure sales, and will find you exactly what you want. They go more than the extra mile to win your business. If they don’t have what you want, they will find it. We have bought from Dan Vereide all three times, and he’s the kind of guy you would sit and have morning coffee with. He’s just a regular guy, who loves to find deals for folks.

We have bought three Fords from him and none have had any problems. However, you can ask anyone, if you do have any issue they will make it right. They have one of the best reputations in Northern, IL. If you are in the Sterling area, look at the license plate frames on the cars on the road, you will see Majeski all over.
