LeWin football dominates 1A Quarterfinals REPORTER

The LeWin football team traveled to Aurora last Saturday to face off with the 9 seed in Aurora Christian.

After trading punts to start the game, Parker Magee was able to force an Aurora turnover when he punched the ball out with 7:37 left in the first quarter giving the Panthers great field position.

Isaiah Bruce was able to take advantage of the turnover with a 14yard touchdown. Cade Benson was able to find Parker Magee for the two-point conversion giving LeWin an eight-point lead with 5:16 left in the first.

Aurora Christian would take the following kickoff back for a touchdown, going 79 yards to bring the game within one with a score of 8-7.

The Panthers were quick to answer, however. Sean Ormiston found the end zone for the first time Saturday with a 17-yard run of his own, giving the Panthers a 15-7 lead late in the first quarter.

Early in the second quarter Isaiah Bruce was able to set himself up for another score. Following a 20 yard run which put the Panthers in the red zone, Bruce capitalized with a threeyard plunge into the end zone, putting LeWin up 22-7 with 8:28 left in the second quarter.

Aurora quickly responded with a touchdown of their own, this time with a 17-yard touchdown pass to bring the game within eight with 6:52 left in the second.

A 26-yard run from Keegan Gyland setup Ormiston for his second score of the day. This time going 44 yards for the score, giving LeWin a 29-14 lead. The Panther defense was able to force their second turnover of the day when Hudson Humphrey intercepted a pass giving LeWin great field position once again.

The Panthers were unable to take advantage, however, as the Aurora defense managed to keep them out of the end zone. Aurora would miss

a field goal near the end of the first half and LeWin would kneel the ball to head to halftime up by 15. Sean Ormiston finished the first half with 124 yards and two scores on the ground while Bruce totaled 85 yards and two scores of his own.

The Panthers would start the second half with the ball looking to expand their lead, and they would do just that. After a 29-yard Ormiston run QB Cade Benson was able to sneak it in from the one yard line to put the Panthers up 36-14 early in the third. Hudson Humphrey would snag his second interception of the day on Aurora’s following drive.

Keegan Gyland would bust the game wide open late in the third with a 1 yard touchdown run. A missed extra point would leave the Panthers with a 42-14 lead as they looked to seal the deal on their victory.

Gyland wasn’t finished yet, however. On the next LeWin drive the senior was able to turn on the jets for a 35-yard touchdown run. The twopoint conversion from Isaiah Bruce put the Panthers up 50-14. The 35yard scamper put LeWin over 400 total rushing yards for the day.

Ronnell Valentine was able to force the fourth Aurora turnover on the day with an interception of his own in the fourth quarter. Following the interception Keegan Gyland burst through the line for a 28-yard run which put him over the century mark last Saturday. Valentine was able to capitalize off his INT with a 7-yard touchdown run putting the score to 57-14 LeWin. The Score would also enable the running clock for the remainder of the fourth quarter.

A goal line stop from the Panther defense would finish off the second half shutout as LeWin put up 28 unanswered points and ran the clock out on their quarterfinals victory.

The Panthers will host the sixseed Forreston for their opportunity to head to the 1A State Championships.

Eastland-Pearl City Rolls through quarter finals

By Trent Scheidegger REPORTER

The EPC football team traveled to Orion to face off in the 2A Quarter Finals Last Tuesday. It was the battles of the undefeated, as each team came in holding a zero in the loss column.

Jayden Kempel got the Wildcats off to a quick start once again, when he took the second play from scrimmage for a 36-yard run to put EPC in the red-zone almost immediately.

Quarterback Braden Smargiassi was able to finish off their first drive with

a 1-yard touchdown run, giving the Wildcats a 7-0 lead with 8:46 left in the first quarter.

Senior Travis Spong snagged an interception to put Orion’s first drive to a halt. Just when it seemed the Wildcats would expand their lead, a holding call erased a Jared Kempel run, and eventually led to an EPC punt.

It was then that each team’s defense took over, as the teams would trade back to back punts on consecutive drives. Jayden Kempel wouldn’t be denied his production, however,

as he found himself eclipsing the century mark in rushing yards early in the first half.

After Jayden found the end zone for the second time on Saturday, this time with a nine-yard scamper, the Wildcats would miss their extra point. EPC held a 13-0 lead with 2:47 left in the first half.

Orion was poised to retaliate as they drove down the field in the final two minutes of the first half until once again, the EPC defense came

Veteran homelessness declines in Illinois by seven percent Veteran homelessness in the U.S. continues to decline according to a new national estimate announced today by U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson. HUD’s Annual Homeless Assessment Report finds the total number of reported veterans experiencing homelessness in 2018 decreased 5.4 percent since last year, falling to nearly half of the number of homeless veterans reported in 2010.

In announcing the latest annual estimate, HUD Secretary Ben Carson and U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) Secretary Robert Wilkie noted that local communities are reporting reductions in the number of veterans in their shelter systems and on their streets.

“We owe it to our veterans to make certain they have a place to call home,” said HUD Secretary Carson. “We’ve made great strides in our efforts to end veteran home-

lessness, but we still have a lot of work to do to ensure those who wore our nation’s uniform have access to stable housing.”

“The reduction in homelessness among veterans announced today shows that the strategies we are using to help the most vulnerable veterans become stably housed are working,” said VA Secretary Robert Wilkie. “This is good news for all Veterans.”

“In Home, Together, the new federal strategic plan to prevent and end homelessness, we redouble our commitment to ending homelessness among Veterans and among all Americans,” said Matthew Doherty, executive director of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness. “Working together at the federal, state and local level, we can and will continue to make progress until all Americans have a stable home from which they can pursue opportunity.”

Rural residents grapple with shifting long-term care system

By Cody Smith POLICY WRITING ASSISTANT, CENTER FOR RURAL AFFAIRS

Across the nation, Americans are making tough decisions about longterm health care for themselves and their loved ones. Access to a level of care that meets their unique needs can determine if families remain together, or if their loved ones will have to move miles away.

Long-term care facilities, commonly referred to as nursing homes, are crucial to providing a level of care that many families cannot offer to their loved ones. In rural areas of our country, accessing long-term care is becoming increasingly challenging.

Rural residents are aging at a faster rate than their urban counterparts and, unfortunately, a shifting longterm care system may leave them behind. Take Nebraska for example.

Over the last decade, 23 long-term care facilities have closed across rural areas of the state. At the same time, a net total of 753 beds were lost – indicating a troubling shift.

There is a growing disparity between the urban and rural areas of the Midwest state in regard to the number of facilities and licensed beds. While beds and facilities in rural counties shrank significantly, the opposite occurred in metropolitan counties. During the same period, 16 new long-term care facilities opened, netting an increase of 540 new licensed beds in urban areas.

Nebraska is not alone. Many rural states are grappling with the reality of losing their rural facilities.

The problem isn’t going away as the number of elderly Americans is expected to double by 2060.

Americans deserve access to longterm care, no matter where they live.

T he Shopper’S Guide “Committed to the communities we serve” EDITOR: Tony Carton Advertising Sales:

Each year, thousands of local communities around the country conduct one-night ‘Point-in-Time’ estimates of the number of persons experiencing homelessness—in emergency shelters, transitional housing programs and in unsheltered locations. This year’s estimate finds 37,878 veterans experienced homelessness in January 2018, compared to 40,020 reported in January 2017. HUD estimates among the total number of reported veterans experiencing homelessness in 2018, 23,312 veterans were found in sheltered settings while volunteers counted 14,566 veterans living in places not meant for human habitation.

HUD also reports a nearly 10 percent decline among female veterans experiencing homelessness.

In January 2018, local communities reported 3,219 homeless female veterans compared to 3,571 one

year earlier.

The decrease in veteran homelessness can largely be attributed to the effectiveness of the HUDVA Supportive Housing (HUDVASH) Program, which combines permanent HUD rental assistance with case management and clinical services provided by the VA. HUD-VASH is complemented by a continuum of VA programs that use modern tools and technology to identify the most vulnerable Veterans and rapidly connect them to the appropriate interventions to become and remain stably housed.

Last year alone, more than 4,000 veterans, many experiencing chronic forms of homelessness, found permanent housing and critically needed support services through the HUD-VASH program. An additional 50,000 veterans found permanent housing and supportive services through VA’s continuum of

Health care coverage for half million to be decided this November

By Jordan Rasmussen

CENTER FOR RURAL AFFAIRS

This November, voters in Idaho, Nebraska, Montana, and Utah will decide whether to extend health insurance coverage to a combined half million hardworking, low-income Americans. These people fall into the coverage gap – meaning they earn too little to qualify for subsidies to purchase coverage from the insurance marketplace and too much to be eligible for Medicaid.

This vote comes following months of signature collection and advocacy. Utah and Idaho gathered 147,000 and 60,000 signatures, respectively, to place the issue on their ballots. Montana voters will decide whether to permanently expand Medicaid for nearly a 10th of the state’s population, after expansion was piloted by the state legislature in 2015.

Initiative 427, as it will appear on the ballot in Nebraska, would extend Medicaid coverage to nearly 90,000, who earn less than $17,000 annually.

In Nebraska’s rural counties, an average 11.76 percent of employed residents are uninsured. This picture duplicates across America.

Expansion of Medicaid to the rural population could have an impact on keeping rural hospitals and clinics open across the country, offsetting the costs of uncompensated care.

If these states pass their respective ballot measures, they would join 33 other states that have done so already. As voters head to the polls this November, their choices will have a profound impact for those who are working on farms, in rural nursing homes, or in local cafés, who still cannot access insurance coverage. Much weighs on this vote for residents, hospitals, communities, and these four states. #vote

homeless programs.

To date, 64 local communities and three states have declared an effective end to veteran homelessness, creating systems to ensure that a veteran’s homelessness is rare, brief, and one-time. Rockford, Illinois was the first community in the nation to effectively end veteran homelessness, they also attained a functional zero designation last year ending chronic homelessness.

Will County also effectively ended veteran homelessness.

HUD and VA have a wide range of programs that prevent and end homelessness among veterans, including health care, housing solutions, job training and education. More information about VA’s homeless programs is available at VA.gov/homeless. More information about HUD’s program is available here. Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless should contact their local VA Medical Center and ask to speak to a homeless coordinator or call the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at 1-877-4AIDVET.

Cattlemen find that the high energy of Mix 30 keeps cows in optimum condition and increases calf weight gain, especially as forage quality decreases. Mix 30 is low in starch and sugar making, so it is an excellent addition to any forage-based diet. Unlike other liquid feeds that contain high levels of urea, Mix 30 is safe to feed in open top tubs or tanks without fear of digestive issues. In addition, the fat in Mix 30 provides a concentrated source of linoleic fatty acid, an important nutrient in beef cow nutrition. Producers feeding Mix 30 can expect intakes of 1 to 4 pounds/head/day depending on body condition and forage conditions.

FROM LENA’S KITCHEN The not so skinny cook

Stir in cranberries, grapes and cinnamon stick; return to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer sauce until it thickens, crushing fruit with a potato masher as cranberries begin to burst, about 25 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick. Off the heat stir in rosemary and season with salt.

Cranberries and maple seem to be my theme this week. This easy green bean side is an alternative to the green bean casserole that is a traditional Thanksgiving vegetable. If you would rather go the fresh route, this recipe is a tasty one. Adding cranberries and bacon really moves the green beans up a notch in flavor.

Since I write this column ahead of time, I am hoping there will be a nice display of fireworks on Sunday. We salute the veterans in our community for their service. Since both of my parents were charter members of the American Legion and Auxiliary in Pearl City, Veteran’s Day was always special at our home. We would go to the Legion Hall for a dinner and boy could those auxiliary members cook good things.

There would be a short program, and my brother and I always knew what Veteran’s Day was all about. I am happy that so many schools have programs now so our children know what this special day is all about. It is hard to believe that we are just racing to Thanksgiving. We continue to look for some apple, squash, and pork recipes.

It is also time to start thinking about Christmas recipes—cookies, main dishes, and appetizers. If you would like to share, please send them in.

Movies at Mame’s ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND Michel Gondry, 2004 A story of heartbreak, reconciliation, and hope, Eternal Sunshine… opens with Joel Barish (Jim Carrey) waking up confused on a bleak, wintry Valentine’s Day morning. He calls off work and wanders, seemingly aimlessly, to a frigid beach in Montauk. He is melancholy and muddled, catching the eye of the only other person on the beach, an

almost offensively brightly clad woman, Clementine (Kate Winslet).

They finally introduce themselves to one another on the train back into the city, after having run into each other throughout the morning. They spend the day together, having drinks, chastely spending the night together. It is hardly the meet-cute of a typical romantic comedy, at times sweet, other times awkward.

sobbing, tear-stained face. What has happened between that first meeting between Clementine & Joel and the present to lead to this emotional breakdown? What we can’t know, not until nearly the end of the movie, is that this is Clementine’s & Joel’s second first meeting.

As the story progresses, we learn that Clementine has undergone a “procedure” to erase Joel from her memories after a 2 year relationship between them has ended. Joel is devastated when he learns this and, in retaliation, undergoes the same procedure to erase Clementine from his own memories. We are seeing the degradation of their relationship in reverse. As Joel’s procedure runs its course overnight, orchestrated by several blundering technicians, he realizes that he does not want to forget Clementine. By living their relationship backwards, he realizes he would rather remem-

A pane of frosted glass to separate one character from another, manipulating dialogue and sound, hidden trap doors, and manipulating set sizes all contribute to putting the viewer inside Joel’s memories. The score is likewise effective, running the range of emotions from wistful with its simple discordances to a tense, almost horror-film style jangle of strings to mount the tension.

By the end of the film, we are desperate for Joel and Clementine to forgive one another, for some sort of resolution to the hurt they’ve inflicted on each other.

with a 13-0 lead.

Jayden got the Wildcats going early once again in the second half.

This time Kempel took a 77-yard screen pass to the house. Yet another missed extra point left EPC with a 19-point lead with nine minutes left in the third quarter.

The Chargers would get themselves on the board midway through the 3rd when they drove down the field and managed to get a field goal, setting the score at 19-3.

Near the end of the third, a 31yard run from Jarod Kempel would set the Wildcats up with great field position to start the fourth quarter deep in Chargers territory. Jayden finished it off to start the fourth quarter with a short touchdown run, putting EPC up 27-3.

Jarod Kempel then forced his second turnover of the day. This time, intercepting an Orion pass giving his Wildcats the ball at the Chargers 30-yard line. Schulenberg, Orion’s QB, had thrown just one interception all season, but the Wildcats had forced number two in just third quarters last Saturday.

Kempels’ INT allowed for the Wildcats to put more points on the board, this time with a field goal of their own giving them a 30-3 lead with 7:50 in the fourth quarter.

The Wildcats would put an end to things late in the fourth when Colin Kuberski snagged EPC’s third interception of the day, allowing them to run the clock out on their 27-point victory and to move onto the State Semifinals.

The Peanuts gang has arrived in Orangeville for their Christmas production of, “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” The show is written by Charles M. Schulz and based on the television special by Bill Melendez and Lee Mendelson. The stage adaptation was done by Eric Schaeffer, with special arrangement with Arthur Whitelaw and Ruby Persson.

Charlie Brown, Sally, Lucy, Linus, Pig Pen, Schroeder, Violet, Frieda, Snoopy, Woodstock, and Patty have come to help us remember what Christmas is all about. Although they all have their ideas about Christmas, the Peanuts gang agrees how commercial it has become. As Charlie Brown searches for the true meaning of the holiday, he stumbles over what it has become; a season full of letters to Santa, decorated trees, carols, and presents.

“A Charlie Brown Christmas” is one of the most beloved TV Christmas shows of all time, and now it has become a wonderful play. Keeping true to the TV show, it brings the Peanuts gang to life on the stage.

“Since the show is based on the television version, it is only a half hour long” says director Kim McIver. “So we decided to add a second half which is the ‘James Street Elementary Christmas Concert.’ James Street Elementary is the school the Peanuts gang attended.”

There will be two dessert theater weekends this year. They will be held on Saturday, Nov. 24 at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 25 at 2:00 p.m., and Friday, Nov. 30 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $20/adults, children 12 and under are $15. Reservations are required.

Since the theater is working to raise money for exterior upkeep costs, it will be presenting a fundraiser dinner show on Saturday, Dec. 1 at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $35/person, which includes the performance and a traditional holiday meal served family style. Reservations are required.

A special Children’s Matinee will be held on Sunday, Dec. 2 at 2 p.m.

The seating will be theater-style, and no dessert will be served. No reservations are required. Tickets are 10/ person, and will include the opportunity to come onstage and take a picture with any of our cast in front of our beautiful Christmas tree.

For all but the Dec. 2, performance our famous apple cider will be served along with coffee.

For information on tickets or the show, please call 815-819-1310. For information on the theater, go to mightyrichlandplayers.org.

The theater is located at 203 West High Street in Orangeville, Illinois.

Doors will open a half hour before the performance.
