Stockton event receives Governor’s Hometown recognition

By Tony Carton EDITOR

Fall into Stockton 2018 was bigger and better than ever and the event has now been recognized with a Governor’s Hometown Award.

“Fall into Stockton is a Chamber of Commerce sponsored event promoting the businesses of Stockton and its surrounding area,” said Stockton Chamber President Marcy Schubert. “Our festival is just about bringing the family downtown for a weekend of fun.”

The Governor’s Hometown Award​ s program gives formal recognition to organizations contributing to projects that improve their community’s quality of life. These projects are sponsored by local units of government t​​hat had strong volunteer support, met a need, and made a definitive impact, thereby generating a positive outcome in the community and by extension, the state.

The Stockton Chamber of Commerce annually sponsors its “fun for the whole family” event featuring bouncy houses, live entertainment, a petting zoo, food vendors, a beer and wine tent, and dozens of vendor booths offering goods and services presented

by Stockton area merchants.

“The Stockton Chamber is building its reputation and working to re-ener-

gize the whole Stockton community to really get involved, spruce up the town and get things going,” said Schubert.

“We’re trying to shake things up, and we are beginning to see results.”

She said Fall into Stockton traditionally kicks off the Autumn season and opens the gates for bigger and better Stockton activities including the Boy Scouts Annual Camporee, football season and the annual Christmas Walk and tree lighting.

Schubert said Fall into Stockton is a strong and positive event for village.

“We are really working to promote more community involvement and volunteer-ism,” she said. “We’re trying to get folks up and out and into the community. We’ve got a lot of projects and we need to put a new face on our village.”

You can be a part of the Stockton solution. Get involved. Contact the Stockton Chamber of Commerce by email at info@stocktonil.com or visit them online at stocktonil.com or on Facebook by searching Stockton Chamber of Commerce.

The Governor’s Hometown Award​s program is administered by the Serve Illinois Commission, the Governor’s Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service.

Stockton volleyball 2018 season grinds to a halt

By Chris Johnson The success of this season will be remembered for a long time for Stockton faithful. A group of talented seniors received as much support from their underclassmen teammates as they could get, and it led to some great things this year. A run through the Alden-Hebron Class 1A Regional, which ended with the first-place plaque and a golden ticket to search for Sectional hardware in Polo is just one of them.

Battling with State-tested and truly-talented programs such as Durand, Galena, Lena-Winslow and Eastland and collecting 25 season wins supported their seventh-place NUIC finish this season. 20 teams call the Northwest Illinois region home and play together in the NUIC. Stockton finished in front of River Ridge and Orangeville. The Lady Blackhawks had ten wins more than perennial 20-game winner Freeport Aquin and they soared past Pecatonica and Scales Mound this year.

Durand won the NUIC this season.

Its 13-0 mark matched co-champ Galena. Lena-Winslow was 12-1 in conference matches this year and fourthplace finisher Forreston picked up almost 30 wins during the fall of 2018. The Lady Cardinals were 11-2

in head-to-head games. They ended one game ahead of both 10-win Dakota and Eastland. Stockton and its seventh-place finish trailed six teams that had 69 NUIC victories. It was an impressive season.

Post-season play proceeded for

Stockton with an expected win over whichever team survived opening night play in the land of the Lady Giants. The two-seed Lady Blackhawks were favored to reach the title

Salvation Army Christmas letter Can you believe it is almost Christmas already? Where did the year go? 2018 has been a year of great blessings and great challenges. We have served over 2,000 people in some capacity and have started some innovative programming aimed at giving a hand-up to those on the edge in our community. The need here is great.

As we begin our Christmas preparation and get out the familiar red kettles and repair our bells we covet your help! Perhaps one of the opportunities below will peak your interest and allow us to stretch our limited budget.

* Opportunity #1: Sign up to ring! Can you host a day at a kettle or offer a few hours? We have multiple locations in Freeport, Lena, and Stockton. Every volunteer hour is equated to putting 15+ in the kettle as we don’t have to pay to earn that money! Spots are available Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. We are looking to have fun while collecting the much needed funds to serve our community.

Come join us as we bring hope to our community! * Opportunity #2: Drop your change (or $100 bills) in a Counter Kettle. Those pennies and dollars

BARBARA JOAN MILLERSCHONE Barbara Joan Millerschone, age 87, of Elizabeth, Illinois passed away on Thursday, Oct. 25, 2018.

Graveside services were held Oct. 28 at the Elizabeth Cemetery.

Friends and family are invited to share in Barbara’s life at www. lawjonesfuneralhome.com.

Barbara was born on Aug. 15, 1931 at her family home in Elizabeth to William “Bill” and Helen (Dittmar) Cording. She was the third youngest of four girls.

She graduated Elizabeth High School in 1949; “a 49er”. She went to work for Jack Schwirtz Chevrolet Oldsmobile as a bookkeeper; not using a computer but skilled at using an adding machine, pen and paper. In 1951, she was in a car accident that changed her life forever. Despite her prognosis, her determination got her through. On May 18, 1956, Barbara married John Millerschone at Christ Lutheran Church in Stockton. Years later, untimely as it was because of a job change, recovery from major surgery, and caring for/losing her mother, Barbara and John were blessed with a daughter. Barbara

* Opportunity #4: Shop for a Toy Barrel or an Angel Tree. We know that a toy will never pay a bill or fill a stomach, but childhood is so fleeting. Last year alone over 300 children were blessed. The happiness and joy that we saw during our “Angel Walk” to “shop” for toys was heartwarming. There are various locations in the community as well as our office where you can pick up tags with gift suggestions as a starting off point. We serve children from birth to age 12. Or maybe you want to be an Angel Walker at our toy shop – call Captain Lee at 815 235 7639.

* Opportunity #5: If you are unable to participate could you pass the word? There are also numerous opportunities for volunteering during this season and beyond as we operate year round.

For more information or to volunteer please contact our Christmas Coordinator Sunshine Mergen at: 815-235-7639 or sunshine_mergen@usc.salvationarmy.org We want to keep her busy!

Thank you so much for taking the time to consider these requests.

We pray that you have a most blessed holiday season and that our new year is even better than the past!

never returned to full time work, rather worked part time from home and babysat many children. Well into retirement, her last babysitting was with her granddaughter to whom she taught the simple and quiet pleasures of life.

A lifelong resident of Elizabeth, Barbara knew so much town history and loved reminiscing about it. She was involved in the local American Legion Auxiliary and Girl Scouts. She had a love of music; listening to it, playing some on the piano and singing; once singing with the County Choir at Soldiers Field. She traveled quite a bit and took note of every new and different thing she saw.

She enjoyed reading the paper, doing puzzles, watching birds at her feeders and the flowers and vegetables in her garden grow. She enjoyed cooking and in her later years finding recipes for others to cook. Barbara was masterful with thread and needles. She could sew, darn, tat, and embroider but she excelled at knitting and crocheting. She was proud of the ribbons her meticulous work won at fairs and the compliments she received from others. Never a sports enthusiast, Barbara enjoyed following her granddaughter’s teams, but she was more proud of her granddaughter as a motivated student and pianist.

Barbara will be missed by her daughter Crystal Millerschone and her husband Jeff “Stumpy” Williams of Elizabeth, her granddaughter Louisa Williams, of Tucson, AZ and younger sister Charliss (William) Chesney of Freeport. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents and 2 older sisters, Ruth Stanley and Bernadine Sprague Gregg.

A special thanks to those who touched Barbara’s life in a positive way. No matter how big or small the act, your kindness was always appreciated by her and her family.

Charles H. “Red” and Doris M. (Stiefel) Rowe.

Glenn married Carol Bannister Butler on Dec. 16, 1988 in Stockton.

He was a 1963 graduate of Stockton High School. Early in his life he worked on farms, did roofing in Louisiana, and later did factory work in NW IL. He last worked for Stockton Township, Dura Automotive (Atwoods/Excel), the Warren Cheese Plant, Primera Foods, and Kolb Lena Cheese.

He loved to hunt and fish, and enjoyed the outdoors. He loved to glean asparagus and watercress to share with others. He also enjoyed bringing home bushels of orchard fresh apples from Richland Center in WI to distribute. He was a member of Calvary United Methodist Church in Stockton and a 30+ year member of a local 12step program.

Glenn is survived by his wife, Carol of Stockton; his step children, Trevor (Alicia) Butler of Aurora, IL, and Jodie (Eric) Seibert of Kasbeer, IL; and his grandchildren, Jenna and Clare Seibert. Other survivors include a brother, Ronald Rowe of Stockton; his sisters, Darlene Shumaker of Hanover, Carol Strohecker of Pearl City, and Diane (Daniel) Kunz of Stockton; and his sister-in-law, Lynn Rowe of Stockton.

Church news Area families make global impact through Operation Christmas Child

Christ Lutheran Church in Stockton will be among 5,000 U.S. drop-off locations collecting shoebox gifts for children overseas during Operation Christmas Child’s National Collection Week, Nov. 12-19.

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization headed by Franklin Graham. The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world and, together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 157 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 160 countries and territories.

Families, churches and groups are busy transforming empty shoeboxes into fun gifts filled with toys, school supplies and hygiene items. The Samaritan’s Purse project partners with local churches across the globe to deliver these tangible expressions of God’s love to children affected by war, disease, disaster, poverty and famine.

For many of these children, it will be the first gift they have ever received.

This year, area residents hope to collect more than 15,000 gifts to contribute to the 2018 global goal of reaching 11 million children.

“We are honored to be linking arms with our community to help children around the world experience the true meaning of Christmas,” said Regional Director Gia Garey Moser, “These simple gifts show God’s love to children facing difficult circumstances.”

For more information on how to participate in Operation Christmas Child, call 612-359-7025, or visit samaritanspurse.org/occ. Participants can donate $9 per shoebox gift online through “Follow Your Box” and receive a tracking label to discover its destination. Those who prefer the convenience of online shopping can browse samaritanspurse.org/buildonline to select gifts matched to a child’s specific age and gender, then finish packing the virtual shoebox by adding a photo and personal note of encouragement.

Clearing the air about radon Join University of Illinois Extension Energy and Environmental Stewardship Educator Jay Solomon to learn more about radon. The program is being held on Thursday, Dec. 6 at the Jo Daviess County Extension Office, 204 Vine St. Elizabeth, IL 61028, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. and again from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

Pre-registration is requested by calling the University of Illinois Extension at 815-858-2273 or visiting us online at web.extension.illinois.edu/ jsw. Registration cost is $10 per household. Each household will receive a free radon test kit.

With the cool fall weather upon us our thoughts turn to closing up the house tight for the winter. Most of us do a fall cleaning to collect up the last of that summer pollen and dust, check the batteries in the smoke alarms & carbon monoxide detectors, and make sure windows and doors are sealed tight. With all these tasks complete now we can breathe easy for the winter. Or can

we?

“A deadly gas could be building up in your home: Radon!” according to Jay Solomon, Energy and Environmental Stewardship Educator with University of Illinois Extension. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.

This colorless, odorless gas is found in many homes throughout Illinois.

“The only way to know the radon level in your home is to conduct a test of the home,” Solomon continued.

Program participants will learn what radon is and how it enters a home, the danger radon poses, and how a home can be tested for radon.

Discussion will also include information about reducing the radon levels in a home including contact information for licensed radon professionals in the area that can help homeowners through the process of testing and mitigation.

What foods are in the vegetable group?

Any vegetable or 100% vegetable juice counts as a member of the Vegetable Group. Vegetables may be raw or cooked; fresh, frozen, canned, or dried/dehydrated; and may be whole, cut-up, or mashed.

Based on their nutrient content, vegetables are organized into five subgroups: dark-green vegetables, starchy vegetables, red and orange vegetables, beans and peas, and other vegetables.

At a recent Zeta Upsilon Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi meeting, Comfort Dogs, Butch and Britta, and their handlers presented the program. The Comfort Dogs are a ministry of the Lutheran Church of the Missouri Synod Charities. (LCC) Butch and Britta were trained to be Comfort Dogs for Veterans. The handlers, Keith and Dale are veterans. The dogs live in their homes, and the veterans and their wives present programs to people who are interested in this ministry. The LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry is a ministry by veterans for veterans. They strive to serve our active-duty military, veterans, and their families. The Kare

• Volleyball

9 Military Ministry dogs visit many places, including VFWs, VA that are homebound, Expos, Veteran Clinics, Yellow Ribbon Ceremonies, and various other activities to help spread the mercy and compassion of Christ Jesus. A dog is a friend who brings a calming influence and allows people to open their hearts and receive help for whatever is affecting them. If your organization is a part of a military event, consider inviting the Kare 9 Military dogs.

We are very fortunate to have Butch and Britta living very close to us. They regularly visit the Friendship Center, Nursing Homes, and Immanuel Lutheran Church in Freeport.

They would be more than happy to visit your vets too. Vets have a way of opening up to Comfort Dogs, and they offer so much for those who have served our country who may need them.

The dogs are golden Labrador retrievers and are a brother and sister.

Their handlers presented a unique program on the training, the care, and the responsibility of being a Comfort Dog. The members of Zeta Upsilon got to see how well behaved and obedient they were as well as getting to interact with them. For further information on the Comfort Dog program, contact Fawn Nolan at St. John’s Lutheran church in Lena.

match in the 1A Regional in Hebron, regardless of their opponent.

On Monday, Aquin toppled seven-seed Orangeville in the tournament tip-off in three games, winning the deal-maker in the third 25-11. The six-seed Lady Bulldogs didn’t reach the third game, one night later though.

Stockton won 25-19, 25-20 and discovered the path to the Regional Final where they faced NUIC-familiar Pearl City. The Lady Wolves upset four-seed host Alden-Hebron in its semi-final appearance to get its shot at Stockton.

The Lady Blackhawks came out on top on Thursday, Oct. 25. A strong team connection led to the 25-21, 25-

20 Alden-Hebron Regional Crown and sent the team east to the 1A Sectional.

The fall focus ended as the twoseed Lady Blackhawks faced down the top-seed in the northern branch of the Class 1A Tournament, in the Polo opener. Stockton pushed the top-seed into extra play in game one, before falling 28-26. Game two mirrored the opening effort.

Leads were developed and shortened, and the game stayed points apart. As time wound down, with the scoreboard registering multiple 20’s, the Sterling Newman Lady Comets shot down Stockton, holding on and

winning by two points, 25-23.

Sterling Newman moved into the Polo Sectional Final and fell to Super-Sectional representative Durand on Thursday night, Nov. 1. Following Super-Sectional play on Friday, Nov. 2, no teams from the NUIC remained in the hunt for the 1A Crown. Durand lost to 1A Semi-Finalist Newark in three games. The Lady Bulldogs lost game one, but captured game two 26-24. The Lady Norsemen collected the game three decision-maker 2520 to move on to Normal-Redbird Arena this weekend in pursuit of the IHSA Class 1A Girls’ State Volleyball Championship.

Halloween is a memory, and we are impatiently waiting the end of the election (I am so tired of ads and calls and how much money is being spent I could scream) and maybe the beginning of the insanity of the end of the year. I love these crisp days, and when the sun shines, it is glorious. This week’s recipes have a little of that and a

little of this—I think there might be a broccoli theme in here somewhere.

The first recipe is for a cabbage salad that has an interesting lime and honey dressing. You can make your own slaw with cabbage and shredded carrots, but the bagged one is so much easier. If you are like me, you don’t have extra cabbage left when you are using the bagged mix. I shred radishes on my small hand shredder, and it works great. Try this interesting cabbage slaw with any pork dish, and it is great.

Cabbage Salad Dressing: ¼ C. fresh lime juice 3 T. olive oil 1 T. honey Salt and pepper to taste 1 bag coleslaw mix (14 oz.)

3 large shredded radishes 1 avocado, dices ¼ C. sliced green onions Whisk together lime juice, oil and honey; season with salt and

pepper. Toss the coleslaw mix, radishes, avocado, green onions with dressing; season with salt and pepper I am into stir fry recipes these days, and the next two use chicken and beef as the main dish ingredient. The second one has a hot pepper in it, and you can drop that if peppers aren’t your favorite. Use some pepper flakes instead if you need a little heat. Enjoy these fast main dishes for a change before we get all wrapped up in turkey and things.

Orange Chicken Stir Fry 5 T. olive oil, divided 1 medium red pepper, seeded and chopped 1 small red onion, chopped 1 C. sliced carrots ½ lb. fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into ½ inch thick strips ¼ C. cornstarch ¼ C. chicken broth ¼ C. orange marmalade

Our Nation To all who have served Or have given their life.

We honor and thank you For your great sacrifice.

1 T. Worcestershire sauce 1 t. ground ginger ¾ t. garlic powder In a large nonstick saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. Add the pepper, onion, and carrot; cook for 5 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium. Add green beans; cover and cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender, about10 minutes. Remove from pan. In a large bowl, toss together the chicken and cornstarch until coated. Increase the heat to high, add remaining 4 tablespoons of oil to the pan. Add chicken and cook until browned and meat thermometer in thickest portion registers 165, about 8 minutes. Return vegetable mixture to pan. Add broth, marmalade, Worcestershire, ginger and garlic; cook until sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Serve over hot cooked rice.

Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes. Using excess parchment as handles, remove from pan before cutting bars. Sprinkle with chopped candy bars.

The trick or treaters were really cute. I didn’t have quite as many as last year, but we still had several hundred of the little ghosts and goblins, princesses, sports figures, action figures, and many more. The most original and cutest was one that was a stick of dynamite. Almost to a fault they were polite and thanked us as they collected their

Meal planning made easy

331444

* Outline meals you plan to eat for the week and use it as a guide. * If you have veggies, dairy, and protein at one meal, include fruit and grains in the next to cover all five food groups. * Choose a variety of protein foods throughout the week. If you have chicken one day, try seafood, beans, lean meat, or eggs other days. * Prepare enough of a dish to eat multiple times during the week. Making leftovers part of your plan can save money and time.
