With an 11-4-1 season mark heading into this past weekend of games, the co-op of Stockton and Warren continue to maintain control in the race for the rights to claim the title of the best from the NUIC-West.

Within the conference the Warhawks are 6-1. West Carroll finds itself tied in conference losses for the season. Based on the information available however, Stockton and Warren’s athletes have had more chances to take the field. The Thunder carried a 4-1 West mark through Easter.

Eastland is one win behind Stockton and Warren, but they have one loss more as well. They are 5-2 in the NUIC-West. Pearl City is a distant fourth at this time. They are 3-4 in the West. It is paired with an 0-4 non-conference mark. As the season rolls along, things are expected to get a lot tighter in the NUIC. In non-conference play on Friday, April 14, the Warhawks split a double-header with Carlinville. They won the opener 6-2, but fell in the night cap 7-6. In the loss Stockton/ Warren pushed Carlinville into extra innings, before eventually succumbing.

The Warhawks opened game two with a quick strike. They got on the board after finding an open path through the infield. The 1-0 lead worked into the bottom of the first.

Carlinville responded with two runs of its own.

Warren/Stockton and their hosts were scoreless in the second and then

began exchanging inning-wins.

As the top of the third played through, the Warhawks added two runs to the total and collected the 3-2 lead. The Cavaliers would not score in the bottom of the third but found their swing in the bottom of the fourth.

Carlinville scored two runs in the fourth inning and regained the onerun edge, 4-3, with three innings to play.

In the top of the fifth it was Stockton/Warren’s turn to strike again.

They punished pitching and split defenders. Their efforts produced a three run inning and a two-run lead heading into the home half. The Warhawks were in front 6-4. Carlinville was shut out in the frame. Both teams were shutout in the sixth inning.

As the top of the seventh arrived, the Warhawks still held a two-run advantage, 6-4. They would not add to the lead and moved to the bottom of the seventh, hoping to hold and go home.

It wouldn’t happen. The Cavaliers offense jumped out of the box. The two runs scored by the time the third out was recorded forced the match into extra innings.

The Cavaliers closer was better in the eighth. The co-op of Stockton and Warren did not score. The game remained tied heading to the bottom of the eighth.

Fortune found Carlinville in the bottom of the inning. They manufactured the run they needed and forced the split with Stockton/Warren as they held on for the 7-6 win.

Village of Stockton

Youth soccer is underway in Stockton as nearly 50 youngsters turned out Saturday for the first real competitive action of the season.

Eagle Nature Foundation to sponsor Big Bird Day On May 13, the Eagle Nature Foundation, ENF, will be sponsoring a Spring Big Bird Day at Apple Creek, 8384 North Broadway, Apple River, IL. On that day Master Birder, Terrence Ingram, will be documenting as many bird species as possible, that are living on, or in some way using, or flying over Apple Creek. This annual event was originally started to try to document the loss of birds due to agricultural spraying in the area.

One year these sprays in late July killed all of the birds in the area and not one single bird was seen in the area for two weeks.

To help the Eagle Nature Foundation in their efforts to preserve the bald eagle, Mr. Ingram is using this event as a way to raise money for the Foundation. He is asking people to pledge dollars for every species of

bird that he sees on that day or just send in a donation. Last year he saw only 56 species.

Weather permitting, at some time during the day, he will be walking into the Apple Creek Prairie and Apple Creek Woods to see what birds he will be able to find in those habitats. But much of the time he will be sitting on the deck of his house, or walking through the 120 species of trees in Apple Creek Arboretum, to discover what birds he can see and hear.

If any person would like to learn how to identify birds, or to just join him for part of the day you are welcome. If you are interested in spending some time with him, please make reservations in advance, so that he will not be out on a walk when you would arrive. He will try to schedule

“We try to pack one meal, such as spaghetti or tuna casserole. Also, soups, peanut butter, jelly, granola bars, fruit snacks, and maybe some chips or a treat of some sort. They are kids after all,” said Servant Leadership co-mentor Laurie Gothard-Zueger. “These are easy meals and snacks that the kids can prepare themselves. Please feel free to drop off food items or pick up items from a grocery list the Scouts will be handing out that day.”

“The Stockton community has been strong supporters of this food drive,” said Cub Pack 31 Cubmaster Gayle Arnold.

“We have been holding the food drive at Sullivan’s Foods now for about 3 years and we always have tremendous results with the support of our local community.”

So, of course, Earth Day is very important to the agriculture community. Farmers, simply put, make their living off the land. The land is our most precious resource and we take care of it.

Today’s forward-thinking farmers adopt modern technology in order to produce more with less. All in an effort to take care of the dirt that takes care of them. Happy Earth Day. Don’t forget that the Jo Daviess County Farm Bureau Foundation is part of the Prairie Farms Our Caps, Your Cause program and is looking for your support.

Bustos statement on President Trump signing measure to undermine internet privacy Congresswoman Cheri Bustos denounced President Trump’s late night decision to sign into law S.J. Res. 34, a Republican led measure that allows Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to sell the internet search history and online activity of their customers to the highest bidder.

“We are more than 70 days into the Trump administration and the only thing they can point to as an accomplishment is changing the rules to let internet providers sell your personal online activity to the highest bidder without your knowledge or consent,” said Congresswoman Cheri Bustos. “President Trump campaigned on a promise of creating jobs, not undermining the privacy of hardworking families. So I have one very simple question for President Trump: Since you have so much time to golf, tweet and sign away the privacy of virtually all Americans, why don’t you have a jobs plan?”

Ag Fun Fact: April is National Gardening Month.

With high school seniors making decisions about their educational futures, U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (DIL) is enlisting the help of Illinois high school principals, counselors, and teachers to warn college-bound students and their families about the risks of enrolling in a for-profit college. In a letter, Durbin calls on educators to give students “honest and accurate information” to counter the barrage of flashy, often deceptive marketing from for-profits.

“Students who attend for-profit schools are all too often left with a degree or certificate that employers do not recognize, credits that do not transfer to other institutions, and al-

most twice the amount of average debt of their fellow students who attended public institutions like community colleges,” Senator Durbin wrote. “For an Illinois student, getting the right information from the right person can mean the difference between a successful future and a lifetime of debt.”

This is the fourth consecutive year that Durbin writes to Illinois educators and school leaders regarding the threat of predatory for-profits. Organizations helping to distribute today’s letter include the Illinois Principals Association, the Illinois Education Association, the Illinois Federation of Teachers, the Illinois

Community College Trustees Association, the National Association of College Admissions Counseling, the National Education Association, and the American Federation of Teachers.

“We appreciate Senator Durbin’s efforts to educate Illinois students about their college options,” said Jason Leahy, Executive Director of the Illinois Principals Association.

“It is important that students and families understand the risks associated with for-profit colleges and consider more affordable alternatives among our accredited Illinois community colleges and not-forprofit institutions.”

Sponsors of a proposal to regulate and tax marijuana for adult use in Illinois joined local and national marijuana policy reform advocates for a news conference on Wednesday to announce the next step for the legislation and launch a coalition that will support it.

Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Heather Steans (D-Chicago) and Rep. Kelly Cassidy (D-Chicago) will discuss the details of the General Assembly’s first hearing on SB 316 and HB 2353. Rev. Alexander Sharp, Chicago-based executive director of Clergy for a New Drug Policy (CNDP), and Chris Lindsey of the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), the nation’s largest marijuana policy organization, will discuss the newly formed Coalition for a Safer Illinois.

The Coalition for a Safer Illinois is made up of citizens, community leaders, and local and national organizations, including CNDP, MPP, the ACLU of Illinois, Doctors for Can-

nabis Regulation, Law Enforcement Action Partnership, and the Illinois chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML). It will work to build support for ending marijuana prohibition in Illinois.

SB 316 and HB 2353 would make it legal for adults 21 and older to

possess, grow, and purchase limited amounts of marijuana. The state would license and regulate businesses to cultivate, process, test, and sell marijuana to adults, and it would create and enforce strict health and safety regulations, such as testing and labeling requirements and restrictions on marketing.

Madigan responds to Education Secretary’s revocation of student loan borrower protections

Attorney General Lisa Madigan today issued a statement in response to an announcement by U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos to revoke guidance that would reform the student loan servicing industry to better protect and assist millions of student loan borrowers across the country.

“The Department of Education has decided it does not need to protect

student loan borrowers trying to repay their loans,” Madigan said. “Revoking these critical reforms sends a message to student loan servicers that poor practices are rewarded over the borrower’s best interest.”

Madigan previously supported the guidance issued last year by the Department of Education that would have required student loan servicers to reform poor practices that led to many students struggling to repay their loans or entering into default, despite the availability of many affordable income-based repayment plans.

Attorney General Madigan led an investigation and filed suit earlier this year against one of the country’s largest student loan servicers, Navient, and its predecessor Sallie Mae for the companies’ mistreatment of student loan borrowers from start to finish – from originating student loans to servicing those loans and collecting on defaulted student loans.

Musser Jr. of Lena, IL, Shelly Bunting (Gregg) of Phoenix, AZ, Ashley Hernandez (Leo) of Chandler, AZ , Mike Oppold (Sylvia) of Pearl City, IL, Cory Oppold (Chalice) of Scottsdale, AZ, Mike Leopold (Stacy) of Stockton, IL, Duane Leopold (Diane) of Freeport, IL, grandchildren; Payton, Georgia, Jasmine, Zack, Nikolas, Priscilla, Stella, Haley, Austin, Cassandra, Brittany, mother; Ellinoir Musser, sisters; Karen (Richard) Schaible of Freeport, IL, Kathy Musser of Savanna, IL, Joan (Bobby) McKinstrey of Nora, IL, Brenda (Tim) Dayton of Stockton, IL, brothers; Brad (Kim) Musser, Bruce (Molly) Musser, Brent Musser, and Karl (Amy) Musser, all of Stockton, IL. He was preceded in death by his father and sister.

A visitation was held on Friday April 7, at the Offenheiser-Schwarz Funeral Home, 220 N. Main St, Pearl City, IL. A memorial has been established in his name. Online condolences and memories can be shared with the family at www.schwarzfh. com CAPTAIN ROSCOE A. “IKE” HASTINGS Captain Roscoe A. “Ike” Hastings, 92, passed away peacefully with family at 5:43 p.m. on April 14, 2017. He was born in the upstairs living area of his father’s general store in Martintown, WI, on Sept. 6, 1924, delivered by his grandmother Lena Hastings. His parents were Hulda and Happy (Leland) Hastings.

Ike graduated from Winslow High School in 1942 and enlisted with his brother Gerald Hastings in the army, with the 132nd combat engineers.

With much convincing and against regulations the brothers stayed together the entire time until the end of their military service on Dec. 31, 1945. The brothers saw extensive acting doing field communications and demolition in Manus, Lyte, IE Shima, the Philippines, and eventually they were the 4 1st troops on the

The Scoop Today/Shopper’s Guide - Wednesday, April 19, 2017 • 5

mainland of Japan after their surrender.

After WWII, Ike attended University of Wisconsin where he majored in Art Education. He began his 30 year teaching career in the Le-Win district by driving to numerous one room country schools as well as the town schools in Eleroy, Lena, McConnell, Waddams, and Winslow to teach all levels of art.

Ike was probably best known for his infatuation with the Mississippi River and boats. He spent his summers and free time commercial fishing and building boats. Besides the 47 differing boats he built he also built an amphibious biplane and obtained an aeronautical pilots license along with his Riverboat pilot’s license.

His two most well-known boats were the sternwheeler Lilly Belle, a 60 foot boat started in 1958 and an all-aluminum hull 100 ft boat started in 2003 called the Pickett Hastings.

The Lilly Belle was used for both personal family vacations and chartered excursions. It also hosted the National Audubon educational trips up and down the river for several years.

The Pickett Hastings was much faster and larger and like its predecessor made many trips up and down both the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. Ike was especially fond of the River Regatta’s, River Festivals, and stern wheel races, which he often won. It was estimated that he logged over 80,000 miles on the Mississippi and Ohio River. The Pickett Hastings entertained a filming crew from the History channel in 2014 and Ike was excited to see his excursions documented in the episodes of “Mississippi Men,” which aired in early 2015. He always said that his greatest accomplishment was his “boys”, Jim and Jeff.

Ike and his brother, Jerry, were so unbelievably humbled to take an “Honor Flight” six years ago to Washington , DC to tour the World War 2 memorial, and other memorials. They were “treated like kings” was the thought for the day.

Ike was well known to be very ad-

venturous and confident and could be counted on to fix just about anything. He enjoyed dancing, skiing, duck hunting, drinking, poker, and his dogs, his parrot Harry, and most of all, people. He also loved making gifts for his family including various wood carvings, paintings, and other unique pieces of art.

He was a charter member of the American Sternwheeler Association, Winslow Legion, and on the Board of Directors of National Rivers Hall of Fame at the National River Museum in Dubuque, IA, and a Mason.

His parents, and an infant daughter, Barbara Ann preceded him in death.

He is survived by his wife Linda Hastings and step-daughter Jennifer Guinther Cox (Jason) and step grandson Mason Norberg of Belvidere, brother Gerald of Winslow, son Jim (Jan) Hastings of Lena, son Jeff (Moira) Hastings of Westby, and five grandchildren Timothy, Kaitlyn, Hannah, Hacklyn, Myles and two great-grandchildren with one on the way. His niece and nephew, carol and Todd and family, Marvel Cowen; his sister-in-law, Marlene King and family, and his brother-in-law Lanis (Lynn) Lenker and family and other cherished relatives. His labradoodles, Bea and Belle will miss giving him sloppy kisses.

Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 21, at Leamon Funeral Home in Lena, IL. A visitation will be from 3-8 p.m. on Thursday, April 20, at the Leamon Funeral Home in Lena, IL. Pastor Kevin Cernik will perform the services.

Burial will be at Rock Lily Cemetery in Winslow, IL. A memorial has been established in his memory.

Condolences may be sent to the family at www.leamonfh.com.

You can be part of Bluebird season

By Dick Bach

These dedicated Bluebird monitors are the reason for this success, as they check progress on the trails on a regular basis, make repairs to nest boxes and clean out old nests once the babies fledge. Trails are often in locations where the scenery is stunning, and often where other bird species, butterflies, and flowers abound.

Bluebirds are beautiful to watch, and our monitors tell us of the joy they experience when opening a nest box and discovering a new nest, or new bright blue eggs, or new hatchlings, and then the great reward which comes when they open the box and find that the grown nestlings have fledged.

We would like to share these pleasures with interested new monitors.

You do not need any previous experience to participate. We have a number of opportunities for you to help out at one of our top performing trails and learn what leads to success.

BLUEBIRD RECOVERY PROGRAM VOLUNTEER

Bluebirds are returning now, selecting their nest box, and looking forward to raising their families. You may already have seen these gems of blue flying about, or heard their beautiful song.

But did you know that there is a very active group in Jo Daviess County putting up Bluebird Trails and monitoring them on a weekly basis through the nesting season?

In this past 2016 season, these bluebird enthusiasts helped fledge 1,021 new Bluebirds, an 8% increase over the 2015 season. During the eleven years since the Bluebird Recovery Program became a part of the Jo Daviess Conservation Foundation, this group of dedicated volunteers have helped fledge a remarkable total of 13,463 Bluebirds. This is indeed a cause for celebration!

An experienced Bluebirder will accompany you on one of our trails at Lost Mound, Galena Territory, or on a JDCF property. To fully participate you would need an hour or two once a week as often as you are available.

If you are interested in seeing Bluebirds up close and personal, and learning about them, please send your name and contact information to Deb Kelly at JDCF deb@jdcf. org and a Bluebird leader will get in touch with you to set up a date and time to visit a trail. We invite you to join the fun, and look forward to hearing from you.

Spring is here and the growing season is upon us. Many of you may be getting excited, to get out to enjoy your gardens, while others are already watching the asparagus and rhubarb grow. “One of the best things about having a garden is being able to enjoy your garden year round. Although, in this part of the country we are not able to grow traditional gardens year round, we can still enjoy the bounty of our gardens by either freezing, canning or drying” states University of Illinois Extension Educator, Diane Reinhold.

least time-consuming methods of preserving food. Best of all it allows us to keep the natural color; fresh flavor and nutritive qualities of most foods better than other know food preservation methods.

However, like many things in life, to be successful you need to have a good understanding of the processes involved. Understanding the science behind freezing makes a world of difference in whether you have a good or great product.

For example, when freezing rhubarb be conscious of what you will be using it for once it thaws. Rhubarb will lose its shape as it thaws therefore, plan to use frozen rhubarb in recipes that do not require a crunchy texture, such as jams and jellies, chutney, sauces or cobblers.

When it comes to freezing asparagus, blanching properly it is key to giving you the best final product.

This is because freezing slows down the enzyme activity in vegetables; however, it does not inactivate the enzyme activity. If these enzymes are not inactivated, the color and flavor will be affected and may lead to a very disappointing product.

To learn more, join University of Illinois Extension’s Nutrition and Wellness Educator, Diane Reinhold, for a Yes! You Can: Preserve It Safely workshop: Freezing Your Summer Harvest. Freezing Your Summer Harvest will be held on Tuesday, May 30, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Stephenson County Farm Bureau, 210 W Spring Street, Freeport. Pre-registration is required. To register, call the University of Illinois Extension at (815) 235-4125 or visit us online at http://web.extension.illinois.edu/ jsw/ . Registration is $5.
