Bureau County farmer Tony Bonucci is likely looking forward to getting out of the office and back into the fields. Area farmers are disappointed in the loss of the Trans Pacific Partnership that would have opened up more markets and increased demand, resulting in higher prices for their grains.

2017 Ag predictions

Farmers from three counties discuss the upcoming growing season

By Dave Cook

news@tonicanews.com

Farmers from Bureau, Putnam and LaSalle counties were asked for their thoughts on the 2017 agricultural season.

1. What do you expect from the 2017 season?

Tony Bonucci of Bureau County: “The TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) getting shoved to the side is definitely not good for agriculture. It’d have been nice to have access to those markets, and free trade is important. We’re coming off of three big years with surplus, so it’s important that our products find their way into the hands of interested buyers. As far as weather predictions — it’s all just superstition.”

Matt Bangert of LaSalle County: “I’m expecting we will have a later spring than the last few. I’m just hoping to have plenty of warm and sunny weather.”

Putnam County’s Kevin Knapp: “We hope for good growing conditions, but until it’s all said and done, we don’t

really know. The TPP is something I feel like a lot of manufacturing companies were against, so Trump just said, ‘We’re out.’ However, that definitely would’ve been something nice for agriculture. We’re the exporting industry in the country, whereas China sends in a lot of manufactured goods; that’s kind of the deal. It would’ve given us avenues for more markets, and if we can market our goods more, they’ll be more in demand, and therefore the prices would reflect that.”

2. Are you making any changes this year to your management plans?

Bonucci: “We constructed our wetland last year, so we’ll start to receive data which will validate what we’re doing or give us signals that we might need to make some changes.

As far as other practices, such as cover crops and no-till practices, we’re interested, but would like to wait for more information.”

Bangert: “Keeping the same low cost practices of strip-till

or no-till in place.”

Knapp: “Not this year, but over the past few years, we’ve implemented some of the new practices, and like most years, we’re always looking for other opportunities to lower our input costs. We’re not going to take a lot of risks with anything that doesn’t have proven results, but we’re still doing everything we can. We have to be careful how we spend.”

3. What do you expect prices to do in 2017?

“What do I want or, what do I expect?,” Bonucci joked.

“With the way the markets have moved for corn and beans recently, I expect a lot of volatility. I think there will be periods where we can do well, but I think the prices will bounce around.”

“With the large crop we produced in 2016 and the carryover, I don’t see much up side in the market,” Bangert said.

“I don’t think prices will change much. If they do go back up, we’ll have more opportunities to look at new things,” Knapp said.

Pride in a job well done PCHS skills program is a success

By Dave Cook

GRANVILLE — While classrooms are incredibly important to education, there’s also great value in practical, hands-on experiences. A relatively new program at Putnam County High School is helping special education students discover new skills and find work they’re not only good at, but also enjoy doing as well.

Working in conjunction with several area businesses including Spring Valley’s Valley Flowers and Gifts, Hennepin Foods, McNabb EMS, McNabb Veterinary and Peru’s Lily Pads, students have had the opportunity to step outside the classroom and gain real-world employment experience in a variety of settings.

The Practical Assessment Exploration System (PAES) and the Independent Transition Program (ITP) were Vol.1 43 No. 14 One Section - 8 Pages

started during the 2015-16 school year. Through PAES, ITP, and the dedicated work of educator Wendy Louis and aide/job coach Missy Carlson, students have been assessed for appropriate transitions, skills, behaviors and interests.

“The students have been able to explore more than 260 different job tasks within the program and have had an opportunity to explore their interests and abilities,” said Louis.

Along with the initial classroom work, the students have also worked within PCHS by helping other teachers, the media center, the office, laundry and cafeteria. After additional work with the job coach, junior and senior students have now had the opportunity to work outside of the school.

“The PAES program has connected with community businesses and places stu-

dents in real life working scenarios. The ultimate goal is to find employment for students to earn income and promote an independent lifestyle as the students get older. It’s been a very productive start so far and we look to hopefully grow it more,” Superintendent Carl Carlson said.

According to Louis, there was some initial resistance from businesses to participate, so a plan was developed to bring students in as a group during field trips.

“The employers talked about the job experience as a whole and what would be expected of them. As they were able to see how capable our students were, doors opened for them.

We’re so thankful for the area businesses for giving them a chance and training them to learn new job skills,” Louis said.

One of the first businesses to partner with the program was Theresa Taliani, owner of Spring Valley’s Valley Flowers and Gifts. Students in the program work at her store once a week.

“The school asked us if we’d be interested, and we were honored. We’ve been doing it for about a month now, and it’s going

fabulously. We taught them how to make funeral pots, do pricing on new inventory, and they also help clean.

The students are very independent, and we don’t even need to tell them what to do now; they just get to work. Out of the first group of five or six students, two were interested in floral work, and they’ve been the ones coming back. I think they really enjoy it, and we enjoy having them. We’re very pleased,” Taliani said.

Student Beth Jackson said, “I love working with the flowers and getting to know people.”

Hennepin Foods has been employing student Jonathin Brandner, and he’s been enjoying his time there.

“Working at the grocery store made me realize my abilities,” Brandner said.

Once businesses realized the goal of the program and how well the students work, things began to move quickly.

“The biggest surprise we’ve had was the speed in which we went from one committed community member to five, once we had our foot in the door.

We’re thankful for the PCHS faculty, staff and administration for supporting and helping us through the process of scheduling work times and transporta-

The students’ work is currently all training and volunteer work, although Louis said she’d love for them to be able to transition into paying positions.

She said the program’s biggest goal is to help special needs students become productive members of society as best they can.

“There are so many opportunities for them if only given a chance to learn and perform. They are such a joy to work with, and they shine when they accomplish something they never thought they could,” Louis said.

She also said the program has shown some of the students with physical

A win for WIN Women Inspired Network holds promising giving circle meeting Recently, August Hill Winery hosted the second meeting of the Women Inspired Network, a network of philanthropic women who focus on the issues, interests and concerns of women throughout Starved Rock Country.

The event brought Kathi Davis, the program director of the Illinois Prairie Community Foundation, located in Bloomington, as the guest speaker. Davis’ experience and involvement with the Women to Women Giving Circle in Bloomington provided insight and knowledge about women’s giving collectives throughout the world.

WIN, as Women Inspired Network is frequently abbreviated, was created by the Starved Rock Country Community Foundation in partnership with OSF Healthcare Foundation, I-80 Region. Giving circles such as Women to Women and the Women Inspired Network are generally created by community foundations to perpetuate and encourage collective community giving and related initiatives. OSF Healthcare has similar women’s organization throughout its communities. Pamela Beckett, president of the SRCCF, and Cherie Reynolds, director of philanthropy for OSF Healthcare Systems, I-80 Region, recognized the similar goals of their respective organizations and a partnership was born. The mission of WIN is to raise substantial dollars through collective giving, and to give back to not-for-profit projects, pro-

grams and/or causes in LaSalle, Bureau and Putnam counties.

Davis shared stories of her own philanthropic endeavors, discussing how the Women to Women Giving Circle came to be and how it has since evolved. What started with 105 founding members has since grown into a large group of empowered and socially active women who issued nearly $42,000 in grants in 2016, and more than $283,000 since its inception in 2011.

Although WIN is new to Starved Rock Country, word is spreading quickly. In less than 90 days, more than 50 women have joined the ranks of membership, with 17 others making general donations as “Friends of WIN.” The first year goal is to secure 150 members, each making an annual donation of $200, to raise more than $30,000 collectively. Nominations for grant recipients are made by members, and grant funds will be distributed at the annual celebration of giving in November.

The next WIN meeting will be held March 26 at August Hill Winery. August Hill Winery held the past event on a day and hour they would usually be closed in a show of support for this program. In addition, August Hill Winery pledged 5 percent of the proceeds resulting from product sales during the event to be donated to WIN.

challenges that jobs can be modified which shows them they can work and feel accomplishment.

“They take pride in what they get to do, and it shows in their confidence and attitudes towards working. They’re excited to do a good job and they are all doing wonderfully,” Louis said.

February breaks record for warm temperatures CHAMPAIGN — All those days with temperatures in the 60s and 70s has paid off: February was the warmest February on record for Illinois, according to State Climatologist Jim Angel at University of Illinois’ Illinois State Water Survey.

The statewide average temperature for February was 40.5 degrees, 9.6 degrees above normal, beating the old record of 40.0 degrees set back in 1998.

February was dry too.

The statewide average precipitation for February was 0.7 inches, 1.36 inches below normal and the ninth driest February on record.

Dr. Brandon Musgrave performing ETD surgery at Illinois Valley Community Hospital.

Dr. Musgrave among first to perform new procedure PERU — Illinois Valley residents who suffer from an ear disorder known as eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) have a new treatment option.

Dr. Brandon Musgrave, an ear, nose and throat specialist at Illinois Valley Community Hospital, recently became one of the first doctors in Illinois to perform a new surgical procedure to treat ETD, an ear condition marked by ear pain, pressure and dulled hearing.

Dr. Musgrave performed the surgery on three ETD patients in mid-November using a new balloon dilation device that had just been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in September.

ETD is a condition that affects approximately 1 percent of adults. Eustachian tubes are typically responsible for equalizing pressure in the middle ear, but patients may feel pain, pressure or a sense of clogging if the tubes are not functioning properly.

The new procedure treats the condition by dilating a dysfunctional eustachian tube through the insertion and inflation of a small balloon. Dilation enlarges the tube and helps it do a better job of equalizing pressure.

Previously, ETD was treated with medications or surgery; however, failure to correct the underlying problem could lead patients to develop chronic symptoms or more serious conditions including infections and other long-term complications.

Dr. Musgrave performed the procedure in the IVCH day surgery unit while the patients were under general anesthesia.

The three ETD patients treated by Dr. Musgrave with the balloon procedure in November had their follow-up visits with the physician in December. He said they all reported improved conditions and no ill effects from their surgeries.

Originally from southern Illinois, Dr. Musgrave is a magna cum laude graduate with a degree in chemistry from the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana.

He graduated in the top one third of his medical school class from the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine.

Dr. Musgrave came to IVCH in 2013 after completing an otolaryngology residency at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.

Besides being a physician, Dr. Musgrave is also a published author. While in medical school, he penned “Hour 30: An Uncensored Memoir of a Doctor-in-Training.”

Appointments with Dr. Musgrave can be made by calling 815-223-4400.

Teaching that ‘old dog’ new tricks Television shows, at least during the daytime, try to help me learn how to do things. You know what I mean — how to organize my closet, how to keep the plastic containers in my kitchen organized, how to keep your laundry area a happy place, how to make your life Nita Wyatt easier, happier, richer. The list goes on COMMENTARY and on.

I, for the most part, don’t pay too much attention to all of this, in my head calling much of it nonsense. My thinking begins with the old adage that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, with myself being the “old dog.”

My closet could use some organizing, but the space is small, and do I really want to try to make it better? I have accepted it the way it is. The years when I was working away from home I could have used an overhaul of my closet, but I was too busy to ever get it done, and now, I have more time on my hands, so I can just deal with it. See, I talked myself right out of that!

I do keep the plastic containers in my kitchen organized — I don’t have very many. That one thing keeps their organization pretty simple. I figured that one out on my own. Quite a few years ago I rid myself and my space of all of the miscellaneous butter dishes, mismatched lids belonging to some long ago Rubbermaid set that the dish matching the lids had been used by my grandsons for catching worms or frogs, and the deli containers with the crack that only leak if you fill them to the top. After cleaning out the clutter, I purchased two small sets of locking plastic containers, and those are what I use. I decided that less is more works for the plastic container situation. If I don’t have a container, I put it in a plastic bag. Simple? Right!

Moving along to my laundry area. Well, there’s little joy in my laundry space. That space is shared by a furnace, a water heater, a refrigerator, a wall cabinet, and the requisite washer and dryer. You are thinking great — must be a large space. Ummmm, not so much. It’s a pretty small space actually. I forgot there is also a step-on, kitchen garbage can in the space.

So, here’s the thing — what do I do with the space?

Paint it a cheerful color? Well maybe, but it is open to my kitchen, and I like for it to be coordinated so not sure about that one. I keep it tidy, that’s about the limit.

So I have exhausted the big self-improvement topics I listed, but I did happen to catch someone talking about ways to make cleaning easier. This was a topic I could get behind. I like my house to look nice, but cleaning in and of itself isn’t my favorite task. I can easily be distracted from cleaning by just about anything. Anyway, the “expert” was explaining there were ways to make cleaning your house quicker — I’m all about that.

The first few ideas all seemed to involve the use of “microfiber” cloths. These cloths seemed to be good for a variety of purposes. The cynic in me wondered if the expert was being paid by some microfiber company. I did learn during the few minutes I watched that unfortunately, after all of these years, I have been dusting my furniture all wrong. Who knew? If I can’t figure this out, I may have to give up dusting.

Don’t look at the dust if you come to my house. OK? Anyway, after we got through all the microfiber do everything cloths, at the end of the segment, the person had a good idea. Here goes: Do you have cloth lampshades in your home? If you do, you know they can sometimes be difficult to keep free of dust and lint. So, here’s a simple trick to get that dust and lint off. Use a lint roller. You know the kind I mean — the ones with the sticky roll that you use and then pull off a new, fresh, sticky sheet. All of you have probably been doing this for years, but not me. I have been struggling with lampshade dust for 40 years! No more! I turned my TV off; I found my lint roller; and I now have clean, dust free, lampshades. It’s a miracle.

I’m not sure if there is a lesson in all of this, but if there is, that lesson might be that you are never too old to learn something new. At least, I’m not — I just need to find the one great thing out of the sea of other things.

This was no trivial situation Am I smarter than a sixth-grader?

Nope. Negatory. No way. Not even close.

I, along with my much smarter wife, attended our 11-year-old daughter’s scholastic bowl tournament the other day. I realized early on that I’m an idiot. I believe that it was the second question of the day when the moderator asked the students to identify the incomplete verbs in the given sentence. I wanted to stand up and walk out.

My wife and I like to go to trivia night events. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the amateur trivia night circuit, allow me to describe them to you. They are usually held as a fundraiser for a particular organization or cause.

Teams of adults pay a fee to compete against each other to see who can answer the most trivia questions correctly. We’ve gone to quite a few of these events and we seem to be getting more proficient at answering the questions. I thought that this knowledge would translate over to scholastic bowl. Did I mention that I’m an idiot?

Evidently, trivia knowledge and scholastic bowl knowledge come from different hemispheres of the brain. Or, possibly, parts of the body. Scholastic bowl knowledge can help you out later in life and possibly lead to getting into a good college and a high-paying career.

Trivia knowledge might win you a beverage if Jeopardy is on at your local bar.

Let me explain it this way. These junior-high punks knew how to determine the area of an isosceles circle by dividing an equilateral rhombus and eating pie, or some-

Greg Wallace COMMENTARY

thing like that. I know that Jonas Grumby was the Skipper’s real name on Gilligan’s Island. Two different parts of the brain.

I could tell that I was out of my element when the kids had to give detailed answers about the book “Rikki Tikki Tavi” by Rudyard Kipling. I tried to look like I was silently attempting to answer the questions myself but secretly I was thinking that if I ever get another dog, Rudyard would be a nice name. Or maybe Kipling. No … that’s just dumb. Kipling is definitely a cat name.

And it just got worse. These smarty-pants kids were answering all sorts of questions that I couldn’t.

Due to my unfamiliarity with some of the words being bandied about, I believe that some of the math and science questions were asked in foreign languages. Possibly Finnish.

When one of the students asked the moderator to repeat a question, all I heard was Charlie Brown’s teacher saying, “Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah …”

Those little jerks didn’t even realize that they were rubbing my stupidity in my face. They knew about trapezoids. One of them knew how to express 3,605 in Roman numerals. They knew a bunch of stuff about King Arthur. A short little kid with dirty glasses knew how to

restate 185,000 in scientific notation.

I thought that I had one shining moment when I confidently knew that the answer to one of the fine arts question was the Georgia O’Keefe Art Museum in Phoenix, New Mexico. Unfortunately, I had forgotten that Phoenix had seceded from New Mexico back in the fall of 1972 and had been annexed into Arizona shortly thereafter. Shining moments can be fleeting.

After that, my attention span progressively worsened. I got a chance to look at the ceiling a lot and catch up on picking stuff out of the bottom of my shoe. Those junior Einsteins might have known the atomic number of argon but I’ll bet they had no clue that there were 32 separate fluorescent light fixtures above their heads in that gymnasium. At four light bulbs per fixture, that’s … er .. well, that’s a lot of light bulbs. Have I ever mentioned that the Skipper’s real name was Jonas Grumby?

I sat there on those aluminum bleachers that morning covered in the stench of ignorance. I was kind of jealous that these smart-alecky little whipper-snappers knew all this stuff and somewhere along the line, I had forgotten most of it.

I wonder if they know who Jonas Grumby is?

So if you’re worried about the future of today’s youth, have no fear, there are some really smart kids out there. Too bad they have to be such jerks about it.

Enjoying the abundant life at any age We are all growing older. Thanks a lot, right?

I realize that many will think this is not a very optimistic or positive thought, but it is a reality of life. I could have went all day without hearing that, however as with other topics, this too has a certain amount of accountability attached to it that can make a huge difference between dreading the future and having a healthy and positive attitude.

Recently, I could not help but notice a picture of Stan Lee on the front cover of a magazine and was amazed at how great he looks for 94 years old. He is, no doubt, enjoying the fruits of his labors from creating fictional characters such as The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Thor and Spider Man, just to name a few.

And amazingly, he is still creating new figures and creatures, comic books and of course providing the inspiration for an endless supply of highly-successful super-hero movies. As I continued reading about Mr. Lee, it appears his highly active imagination gives him the energy and excitement that fuels his relentless work ethic. He does not consider the retirement mentality because his imagination provides him with a continual supply of enthusiasm and motivation.

I am in and out of nursing homes every week, and I personally know several men and women in their 90s who will astound you with their outward appearance as well as their very sharp minds. I always ask about their secret to enjoying a long life, and

Billy Holland COMMENTARY

the common reply is that hard work made them tough.

I have also noticed that most of them keep busy and have certain activities they look forward to. As with Stan Lee, we notice that active people, whether physically or mentally, seem to posses a built-in optimistic anticipation that motivates them to keep pushing forward. Older individuals who are still mentally strong, are keenly aware of current and future events. They keep up with what is happening and have their own opinions which is a healthy form of independence and inspiration.

May we keep a tight grip on our faith in God and focus on positive thoughts that can increase our awareness and help keep us young at heart. Frank Lloyd Wright said, “The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes.”

I cannot overemphasize how important it is to retain hope and faith in order to retain a positive attitude for the future. If we lose our expectation that good things are coming just around the next corner, we will have nothing joyful to live for and become vulnerable to falling into a state of negativity and discouragement. I have heard throughout my life that you are as young as you feel,

and I can personally say that some days I still have a pep in my step to which I am grateful. One activity I will pass on to you who are now being given “senior discounts” is the benefits of walking. My wife and I walk around the neighborhood in the evenings, and I am amazed at how good I feel once we get going.

Stretching the legs, relaxing and getting a breath of fresh air can do wonders for the body and mind. Deuteronomy 34:7 reminds us, “Moses was 120 years old when he passed away.

His eyesight was not impaired, and he was still vigorous and robust.”

As we become more mature, another great idea is to stay in contact with family and friends. It’s good to explore new adventures, to write letters, visit acquaintances, attend church and different types of events and make some lasting memories with those we care about. Maintaining a hobby is another excellent idea that can help keep us mentally, physically and spiritually stimulated.

Raising a small flower or vegetable garden is a wonderful activity that not only gives us some physical exercise but watching something grow can invigorate us with expectation and a sense of appreciation from day to day.

I like this quote from Betty Friedan, “Aging is not lost youth, but a new stage of opportunity and strength.”
