University of Dubuque for Kids provides opportunities for area students

By Tony Carton EDITOR

Last week at the University of Dubuque, while a focused group of third and fourth graders searched for comfort items relative to fairies, another group created broadsides, or broadsheets, which are stories in text and picture printed on one side of a sheet of paper and generally posted or distributed as advertisements or bulletins.

Across campus, another group learned about the fine art of making cupcakes, and still another explored the physics of flying paper airplanes.

It may be summer, but dozens of area elementary and middle school students are busy attending UD for Kids classes that have unlikely but self-explanatory titles like: Extra, Extra Read All about It, The Cupcake Bake-off, Household Science Experiments, and more.

The classes are a part of the Twen-

ty-Sixth Annual UD for Kids, a summer enrichment program hosted by the University of Dubuque for gifted and talented students from the area that demonstrate advanced abilities in academic, leadership, creative, and/or visual and performing arts.

Nearly a dozen primary and middle school students from Stockton School District 206 received invitations and attended the one-week sessions.

“UD College for Kids is a wonder-

ful opportunity for gifted and talented students to meet one another and learn something new,” said UD for Kids Fairy House in Nature Instructor Cordae Wright. “It is also an opportunity for them to set foot on a college campus and indulge in an area of interest.”

Bobbie Rillie is attending classes at UD. He will be entering the fourth grade this fall in Stockton and. one of the classes he chose to attend is “The Cupcake Bake-off,” a weeklong ses-

sion that allows the students to develop baking skills while having fun with icing and other decorations.

“We made a lot of fun things in the class,” Rillie said. “And, I got first place in the final competition.”

Rillie also successfully created a catapult designed to launch marshmallows in the Household Science Experiments class. He said spending the day attending classes on a real college campus is more fun than going to his regular school in Stockton.

Lillian Sikora is one of the students from Stockton invited to attend UD for Kids. She will enter the fourth grade in the fall, and this is her first year in the program. She chose to attend a class in theatre that offered her the opportunity to perform in, “The Music Man.” “It’s going great,” said Sikora. “I am so glad I have a chance to participate. This is really fun and I’m learning about how to be part of a theatrical production.”

Her mom,. Hannah Sikora said she plans to encourage Lillian to attend UD for Kids every summer for as long as she is eligible.

“Right now, Lilly has the dreams of a little girl and wants to be a cook or a dance instructor,” she said. “She is planning to attend college when she is older and feels UD College for Kids is definitely time well spent. The sessions are only a week long, but it provides her a real opportunity to do something completely different and even more important, something she really enjoys.”

Lillian’s UD instructor Evan Fair says each child is an artist.

“I just want them all to have a positive experience no matter what they do,” Fair said. “I try to show them voice and movement. I show them little tips about interacting with an audience, but it’s really all about feeling good about themselves. They’ve chosen to be here. I just give them a positive experience and let them know that they are artists.”

Madigan and broad coalition threaten to sue if U.S. EPA continues ignoring legal duty Attorney General Lisa Madigan and 14 other attorneys general, the California Air Resources Board, and the City of Chicago alerted the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today that they plan to sue if the agency continues to ignore its legal duty to control emissions of methane – an extremely potent greenhouse gas – from existing oil and gas operations.

In a letter today to EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, the coalition provided the required notice of their intention to sue the agency for failing to fulfill its obligation under the Clean Air Act to control methane emissions from existing oil and natural gas sources and for “unreasonably delaying” the issuance of such controls.

“The U.S. EPA has an obligation to

protect people and the environment from toxic methane pollution, and we will go into court if the agency continues to ignore this vital function,” Madigan said.

Methane is an extremely potent greenhouse gas, warming the climate about 80 times more than carbon dioxide over a 20-year timeframe.

Oil and gas operations – production, processing, transmission, and distribution – are the largest industrial source of methane emissions in the U.S. and the second largest industrial source of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions behind only electric power plants. Based on EPA data, the Environmental Defense Fund estimates that roughly $1.5 billion worth of natural gas – enough to heat over 5 million homes – leaks or is intentionally released from the oil and gas

supply chain each year. The logic of continuing to allow leaks and intentional discharges of methane is especially dubious, as methane itself is a valuable product, being the primary component of natural gas.

In June 2016, EPA finalized standards to control methane emissions from oil and gas operations that were constructed or substantially modified after September 2015. Under the federal Clean Air Act, the regulation of these “new” sources triggered a legal requirement for the EPA also to regulate methane emissions from “existing” sources – emission sources in oil and gas operations in existence before September 2015.

In today’s letter to Pruitt, the coalition argues that EPA’s failure to act since September 2015 to issue controls on methane emissions from

existing sources in the oil and gas industry violates the EPA’s non-discretionary duty under the Clean Air Act and is an unreasonable delay in setting such controls.

Madigan and the coalition of attorneys general have taken several other steps to force the federal government to control methane pollution from the oil and gas industry. Last week, a coalition of 14 states filed a motion to intervene in a lawsuit against EPA’s actions halting regulation of methane emissions from new sources in the oil and gas industry. In February, a coalition of seven attorneys general and two environmental agencies urged U.S. Senate leadership to oppose a Congressional Review Act resolution to repeal a rule regulating methane emissions from oil and gas operations on public lands.

Madigan also has condemned federal executive action to attempt to eliminate the Clean Power Plan and opposed the drastic budget cuts proposed for the EPA. Madigan has long supported the Clean Power Plan and the legal actions that led to it. The Attorney General also recently joined a broad coalition of states and localities in support of the Paris climate change agreement called the “We are Still In” coalition.

Joining Madigan in issuing today’s letter are attorneys general from: California, Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and the District of Columbia, as well as the California Air Resources Board and the City of Chicago.

School Management Alliance applauds vote to keep schools open After 732 days without a state budget, the Illinois House of Representatives took a significant step toward ending the longest impasse of any state in the country by approving a revenue bill Sunday. Amendment 3 to Senate Bill 9, which includes a state income tax hike, passed by a 72-45 vote that included 15 Republican votes. The vote total was one more than the super-majority necessary.

The House then immediately moved to Senate Bill 6, a balanced budget bill, which passed by an 8134 vote. That bill included $350 million additional education funding for the evidence-based school funding model as well as increased funding for regular transportation for schools.

“It is very difficult for anyone of either party to vote for a tax increase, but it had become clear that the state did not have enough revenue to even cover the schools budget it passed last year, let alone higher education, social services and the many other state services that people all over the state depend on. We want to thank What is it called when the Presi- those legislators that took this tough dent of Russia trips and falls onto a vote,” said Roger Eddy, executive director of the Illinois Association of plate of crackers?

St. John’s Lena schedules Vacation Bible School “A Mighty Fortress—In Jesus, the Victory is Won!” is the theme for the 2017 Vacation Bible School (VBS) at St. John’s Lutheran Church, Lena.

VBS will begin on Monday, July 24, through Friday, July 28, from 2:30 to 5 p.m. All children beginning at age three (potty trained) are invited and encouraged to attend. Children going into 6th grade and older, plus adults will serve as helpers. You can register NOW by calling (815)3694035 or online at www.stjohnslena. org. Bring a friend, neighbor, cousin and join us for a week of fun, music, and Bible stories. Free bus service is available in Lena.

The theme reminds us of the 500th anniversary celebration of the Christian Reformation that began when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany in 1517. Of the

36 hymns Luther wrote, “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” is the most well –known. The words are based on Psalm 46 and celebrate the power of God over everything both physical and spiritual. He is our refuge in time of trouble and our assurance of eternal life through our Savior, Jesus.

At Mighty Fortress, kids learn that God is their refuge and strength.

Friends may fail them. They may not ace their test or make the team, but God promises to be their rock and their salvation—their fortress and sure defense. So raise your banner In Jesus, the victory is won!

Jo Daviess County Sheriff reports rollover with injuries

On June 17, at approximately 12:30 a.m. Jo Daviess County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to Stagecoach Trail at North County Divide Road for a single vehicle rollover crash with injuries. Upon arrival it was discovered that Mitchell J. Ganzer was operating a motor vehicle eastbound on Stagecoach Trail and lost control o f the vehicle on the curve. Ganzer drove off the paved roadway to the right and into the ditch. Ganzer’s truck struck an embankment at North County Divide Road, went airborne and struck a road sign. The vehicle struck an embankment just east of County Divide Road, overturned in the ditch and came to rest in the roadway. Ganzer was transported to Monroe Hospital

by Warren EMS to receive treatment for his injuries and released. Ganzer is charged with DUI and Too Fast for Conditions. This accident remains under investigation. The Sheriff would like to remind the public all persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

KID’S CORNER Apps for experiences in global 12 • Wednesday, July 5, 2017 - The Scoop Today/Shopper’s Guide Today

cultural awareness and sensitivity America’s “melting pot” status is one that most citizens are proud to claim. The fact that people here often refer to themselves as one ethnicity or another, and rarely as just an American, is proof that being from somewhere else – however far removed – is a source of familial pride.

Thanks to the edtech explosion of the last two decades, there are several apps that teach students cultural awareness and sensitivity. Here are a few: Flat Stanley Based on the Flat Stanly game, students travel to various parts of the world as a paper figure. This app introduces students to cultures that are vastly different than their own.

Kids Planet Discovery Students learn more about the world around them. They learn about various cultures, music, foods, etc., all while

having fun.

One Globe Kids Features “a day in my life” stories recorded by students from around the world. Also, they can learn about the cultures, geography, and history of each county via the app.

Games for Change This app was created to aims to bring awareness and change via games. Many of its games have a fee attached, but there are several free games, such as 3rd World Farmer. The game explores issues like war, hunger, poverty, education, etc. An additional free game is Ayiti: The Cost of Life, which requires students to assist a family in Haiti in fighting through a series of trial and tribulations over four years.

Remember to have your parents approve an app before you download it. Be safe online.

Fun cat facts for pet pals of all ages

Use your Crayons or paints and see if you can make this perfect little flower beautiful.

Check out these fun cat facts for kids. Learn about cats as pets, their unique behavior, how long they sleep and much more.

Read on and enjoy the wide range of interesting facts about cats and kittens.

Cats are one of, if not the most, popular pet in the world.

There are over 500 million domestic cats in the world.

Cats and humans have been associated for nearly 10000 year Cats conserve energy by sleeping

Stockton Athletic Boosters

Host the 30th Annual

“BLACKHAWK OPEN”

Cats have powerful night vision, allowing them to see at light levels six times lower than what a human needs in order to see.

Cats also have excellent hearing and a powerful sense of smell.

Older cats can at times act aggressively towards kittens.

Domestic cats love to play, this is especially true with kittens who love to chase toys and play fight. Play fighting among kittens may be a way for them to practice and learn skills for hunting and fighting.

On average cats live for around 12 to 15 years.

Cats spend a large amount of time licking their coats to keep them clean.

Feral cats are often seen as pests and threats to native animals.

Once school is out, you’ll probably hear your kids utter these words: “I’m bored.” Rather than let them turn on the TV or play video games, try any of these free or cheap ways to entertain them.

Have a scavenger hunt. Hide items in your house or yard, then give the kids a list of the items and see who can find them the fastest.

Visit the fire station. My kids loved visiting the fire station, where fire fighters would let them sit in

their big fire engines and load them up with stickers, coloring books and more.

Play in rain. The kids will love the chance to do something that’s taboo.

Create obstacle course in the backyard and let the kids race.

Look at the stars. You can download an app that helps you identify constellations -- or check out a book from the library. If there’s an observatory or planetarium in your town, see if it offers free shows.

Cats have flexible bodies and teeth adapted for hunting small animals such as mice and rats.

A group of cats is called a clowder, a male cat is called a tom, a female cat is called a molly or queen while young cats are called kittens.

Domestic cats usually weigh around 4 kilograms (8 lb 13 oz) to 5 kilograms (11 lb 0 oz).

The heaviest domestic cat on record is 21.297 kilograms (46 lb 15.2 oz).

Cats can be lethal hunters and very sneaky, when they walk their back paws step almost exactly in the same place as the front paws did beforehand, this keeps noise to a minimum and limits visible tracks.

Add the beans and poatoes, the juice of ½ lemon, ½ cup chopped basil, ¼ cup toasted pine nute, and then toss.

Top with shaved parmesan.

Do you want a fast and easy summer sandwich substitution for a hot summer day. These roll ups are easy to make and tasty. The tangy horseradish sauce gives flavor to otherwise rather bland wraps.

The not so skinny cook June is over, and it went out with a very generous rain. I don’t think those people who had hail or flash flooding were happy. Hopefully none of you sustained any damage. I am always grateful to hear the sump pump running. As one of my teaching colleagues used to say—“That sump pump is music to my ears.” Thank goodness we didn’t lose electricity for any length of time. Hopefully the summer storm season is over, and the rain we get will be a gentle one.

By the time this paper comes out you will be ready to celebrate the Fourth of July or have celebrated. We have several picnic friendly recipes in the column this week.

The first recipe is for a refreshing fruit salad. There are several fruits in this recipe. You can also use fresh pineapple, oranges, and blackberries in substitution. It is a great and cool salad for a hot summer day.

Just a reminder that there will be no Wednesday Gathering on July 5th, but Barb Wire contacted me that there will be a Farmer’s Market that week.

It should be a good one because more vegetables are beginning to mature.

The Wednesday Gathering will continue on July 12 with Rafters selling their great sandwiches, Benchwarmers Cheese Curds, Café 217 drinks and ice cream, the Farmer’s Market, the bread truck, and several other unique vendors. We continue to look for summer recipes that feature rhubarb, strawberries, radishes, onions, and asparagus.

One way we can help each other get through these challenging times is to keep our dollars local.

Here are three good reasons.

Reason #1: Shopping locally saves you gas and wear and tear on your vehicle.

Reason #2: When you spend your money locally, you support the businesses whose property taxes pay for our municipal services.

Reason #3: Many of our youth programs are supported and sponsored by local businesses and if we don’t support them, they can’t support our kids.

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

A couple of weeks ago we hosted our “adopted legislator” for some farm tours in the County. We have had a relationship with State Representative Carol Sente for several years now. I have to thank several board members for taking the time out of their busy schedules to spend the afternoon with her. Also, thank you to George and Rogene Kepner and Ron and Julie Lawfer for opening up your farms for tours that day.

Jo Daviess Farm Bureau members now can access additional member benefits and discounts when they’re on the go with the new membership benefit web platform and iPhone App. “We’re extremely pleased to offer this new platform for our members, giving them added discounts on hotels, theme parks, restaurants, movies and everything in between,” said Melissa Rhode, Marketing Director, Illinois Farm Bureau. “Best of all, the app shows both local and national discounts, and can even notify members when they’re near a business that offers discounts.”

To access the new web platform at https://ilfb.abenity.com, members must create an account and provide their Illinois Farm Bureau membership ID number. Members can also go to the iPhone App Store, search IL Farm Bureau Membership Benefits and download the app on their iPhone or iPad. Once downloaded, members may customize the app to include frequently used offers; search offers by business name, location and category; and provide instant in-store discounts at nearby restaurants and retailers.

“Our members have nothing to lose and everything to gain with this new platform,” Rhode said. “Members will find more than 302,000

discounts on top of what is already available through their Illinois Farm Bureau membership.”

Members who have questions about the app or additional Illinois Farm Bureau member benefits may contact our office or the Illinois Farm Bureau Membership call center at 309-557-2689.

Personally, I have downloaded the app on my phone and it alerts me when there are discounts in the area that I’m in. It’s super easy.

We have been getting a lot of orders in for peaches. If you haven’t submitted your order yet, there’s still time. Orders are due by Wednesday, August 2, with payment and order form. Checks should be made payable to the Jo Daviess County Farm Bureau. Price is $29/box for members and $34/box for non-farm bureau members. Pick-up will be in the farm bureau basement with an anticipated date of August 16, depending on weather. Peaches MUST be picked up the day of delivery to ensure freshness.

This weekend is Round two of our Farm Fun Days. This one is scheduled for Saturday, July 8, at the Shenandoah Riding Center. The event goes from 10 a.m. to Noon and has a lot of activities for everyone.

Of course, there are plenty of opportunities to interact with the animals.

Start out with taking a walk through our mobile petting zoo and then try your hand at milking a real cow. You can also make ice cream and butter, circle of earth bracelets; make feed sack snack mix and much more.

Ag Fun Fact: July is National Ice Cream Month. Americans are the number one consumers of ice cream, eating 48 pints of ice cream every year.

Please leave fireworks to the professionals

Independence Day and fireworks go hand in hand, but fireworks shouldn’t go in consumers’ hands.

That’s the message the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is reinforcing this Fourth of July. Fireworks annually cause devastating burns, injuries, fires, and even death, making them too dangerous to be used safely by consumers.

“Each year, thousands of people are injured from using consumer fireworks,” said Lorraine Carli, NFPA’s vice president of Outreach and Advocacy. “Even sparklers, which are often thought of as harmless enough for children to hold, burn at 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit and can cause significant injuries.”

NFPA takes aim at consumer fireworks. View the latest public service announcement, featuring Dan Doofus, urging people not to use consumer fireworks because they are too dangerous.

On Independence Day in a typical year, fireworks account for two out of five of all reported U.S. fires, more than any other cause of fire.

On average each year, fireworks start 18,500 fires, including 1,300 structure fires, 300 vehicle fires, and 16,900 outside and other fires. These fires cause an annual average of three deaths, 40 civilian injuries, and $43 million in direct property damage.

However, the vast majority of fireworks injuries occur without a fire starting. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) 2015 Fireworks Annual Report, U.S. hospital emergency rooms treated an estimated 11,900 people for fireworks-related injuries; 51 percent of those injuries were to the extremities and 41 percent were to the head. Two-thirds (65 percent) of the injuries were burns, Children younger than 15 years of age accounted for one-quarter (26 percent) of the estimated injuries. Sparklers were the leading cause of fireworks injuries. More than half of the fireworks injuries incurred by children under five years of age were caused by sparklers.

“Knowing the harm fireworks inflict each year, particularly among young people, we urge everyone to leave fireworks to the professionals who are trained to safely put on spectacular displays. It is by far the safest way to enjoy them,” said Carli.

NFPA offers a wealth of information on fireworks safety, including videos and other resources that visually demonstrate just how dangerous consumer fireworks can be.
