“
We’re hoping to have as many as 8 or 10 vendors for our summer schedule..” — Laura Kuzniar
Laura Kuzniar, has taken on the responsibility of making things work and run smoothly at the Hanover Farmers Market. Kuzniar who is a producer herself said, “We’re hoping to have as many as 8 or 10 vendors for our summer schedule this year. With the unseasonably warm weather we’re having this year some crops may be harvested earlier than usual. That’s not necessarily a bad thing for growers. Buyers, however, should check markets frequently for the availability of specific kinds of produce. “Our summer schedule begins in May when we’ll be open every Saturday. During the 2019 season we hope that a good many people take advantage of coming to our farmers market and staying in town for other events. Mallardfest will be the third Saturday of September. Folks can come to the market before the Fest activities begin. “Hanover Days will be over the July Fourth weekend. We’re tying our market into Story Time at the Hanover Library. The Wapello Land and Water Reserve is just minutes south of us on Route 84. “Cats Closet, an outreach for teens in need of clothing and personal care items who attend River Ridge High School will be open. It will be open for any of those teens who need a little bit of help and it’s open in the event that anyone passing through Hanover might want to stop by and drop off some gently used clothing, personal care supplies or make a cash donation.” For information about the Hanover Farmers Market, or learning how to become a vendor, Laura Kuzniar can be reached at Hanover Farmers Market on Facebook.

River Ridge/Scales Mound girls pull off comeback By Trent Scheidegger REPORTER
The River Ridge Scales Mound Lady Wildcats hosted Galena last Friday for an inner conference matchup. The Wildcats found themselves in trouble early on as they surrendered 17 first quarter points, and scored only six of their own. All six first quarter points came from the hands of Captain Tabria Thomas. Things weren’t looking good for the Wildcats early in the second when their deficit grew to 17 as they
were down 24-7. Reese Miller eventually provided a boost as she scored five points in the quarter bringing the Wildcats within 10, down 27-17 at the half. Whatever changes Coach Wiegel and the team made during the break proved to work as the Wildcats seemed to come out a new team in the second half. Tabria Thomas totaled eight third quarter points, while Maddi Frey had five, and Reese Miller and Morgan Shetler each had four. The collective offensive performance led to
a 23 point third quarter and gave the Wildcats their first lead of the night, as they went into the fourth up 4037. The Wildcats wouldn’t take their foot off the pedal in the fourth as Thomas had her best quarter of the night scoring 10, while the rest of the offense combined for 11 points. Outscoring Galena 21-14 in the fourth, the Wildcats worked their way towards a 61-51 victory over Galena. The victory pushed the Wildcats overall record to 15-6, while they sit at 5-2 in conference play.

There are several Farm Markets in Northwest Illinois. Many of them shut down for the duration of winter, but the Hanover market operates year-round, open for business the first Saturday of each month, from 9 until 11 a.m. until the summer schedule becomes effective in May. The winter market sets up in the Hanover Park District cafeteria. Four to six vendors offer a wide range of locally grown and produced items. John and Sara Sullivan Farms is a regular. Sara Sullivan said, “The weather has been strange this season but never the less, producers are here every week with plenty of stock. “We offer our farm raised pork, beef and lamb. In addition to different kinds seasonal vegetables we sell a wide variety of herbs. I grow sage, bay leaf, different kinds of mint, thyme and oregano to name a few. I’m hoping to have chickens after February for fresh eggs.” The odd, wet weather this winter has presented problems for producers small and large. While thick heavy mud makes planting and harvesting difficult, raising livestock during a year of heavy rains presents some serious problems as well. Sullivan said, “Because of the wet soil I’m raising quite a few herbs in pots inside the house just now. Fortunately, I have a very large window allowing for a lot of sunlight. “Our sheep can be fed hay from bales that we place on concrete alongside, or in buildings. To get food to the cattle and hogs all that can be done is slog through the muddy fields to get the feed to them.” Two well known regulars from local markets who are vendors at Hanover are Terry and Lucy Auen and Sister Julia. Auen provides fresh baked breads and rolls. Sister Julia, Spiritual Director at Christ in the Wilderness Retreat produces a variety of jams and jellies and other home-made goods.
