The Stockton Blackhawks will play host to the Orangeville Broncos, on Friday, Aug. 26, as the 2016 high school football season begins.

Stockton closed the 2015 season, with a loss in the Class 1A Playoffs, exiting with an 8-3 mark.

Stockton is on a five-year roll, however, when the State Playoffs are involved, having been a part, since the 2011 season.

In 2012, the Blackhawks were 9-2.

A year later, in the Class 1A State Championship, Stockton fell. The Blackhawks were 13-1.

A perfect start to the 2013 season saw Stockton race to the post-season with a 9-0 record.

The season ended, however, just three weeks later, in a loss in the Class 1A State Semi-Final.

Stockton was 8-3 in 2013 and 7-3 in 2014, each season, closing the year in the post-season.

The NUIC Upstate Division features teams from Stockton and Orangeville, along with Polo, Warren, Ashton-Franklin Center, Freeport Aquin, Durand and River Ridge, each with their own chance to make the post-season.

The path won’t be easy, as the NUIC is loaded with talent, again this year.

If the Blackhawks survive the 2016 regular season, they will have to beat playoff-tested teams, to do it.

In week two, the Blackhawks bat-

tle River Ridge and in week three, a road game, in Polo, awaits.

If week four the Blackhawks host the Durand Bulldogs.

Stockton plays in Pecatonica in week five.

A short stop home on Friday, Sept.

30, in their week six game, could prove to be pivotal in post-season thinking, as Warren pays a visit.

Milledgeville hosts Stockton in week seven, before the Blackhawks return home, for the last time, during the NUIC season, to face the Aquin Bulldogs.

2016 comes to a close on the road for Stockton, as they face the AFC Raiders.

Warren opens the fall at home, as they host the Aquin Bulldogs.

In week two, Warren travels to Ashton and in week three, Orangeville pays a visit.

This season features a regular schedule of alternating matches, as the Warriors bounce between homeand-away each week, beginning in their week four conference contest, at River Ridge.

On Friday, Sept. 23, the Warriors host Polo, before Stockton returns the favor, in their week six showdown.

Friday, Oct. 7, features the beginning of the final third of the season and Warren will host the Galena Pirates in their week seven meeting.

In week eight, Durand plays host.

The 2016 regular season comes to a close on Friday, Oct.21, as Warren hosts Milledgeville.

Illinois State Police receives Accreditation with Excellence Award from law enforcement commission Earlier this year, a team of assessors from CALEA examined all aspects of the ISP’s policies and procedures, management, operations, and support services to verify that the Agency met the Commission’s stateof-the-art standards.

Additional information about CALEA and the accreditation process can be found on their website: www.calea.org.

This is the ninth consecutive accreditation status awarded to the ISP since the initial award on June 15, 1986.

ISP officers will continue to enforce the law, while being mindful of the penalty changes for smaller amounts of cannabis,” said ISP Director Leo P. Schmitz. “The public is reminded that cannabis possession without a medical marijuana card is still illegal; the penalty and fines have changed. In addition, drivers under the influence of cannabis will still be arrested and prosecuted.”

The new law changes the penalty for the possession of 10 grams or less of cannabis to a civil law violation, carrying a minimum fine of $100, and a maximum fine of $200.

Persons found in possession of not more than 10 grams of cannabis can be issued a citation and be required to appear in court for the violation.

Senate Week in Review August 1-5,

A bipartisan commission created

by Gov. Bruce Rauner to find a comprehensive solution to reform Illinois’ school funding formula met this week for the first time.

Also during the week, a number of new laws are now on the books, after being signed by the Governor late last week.

One new law reduces penalties for individuals caught with 10 grams or less of marijuana; now those violators will be ticketed, as opposed to being arrested.

Rauner also signed a package of new laws aimed at curbing waste, fraud, and abuse in higher education.

Bipartisan committee meets to find solution to reforming school funding formula The Illinois School Funding Reform Commission met for the first time in Chicago Aug. 3.

During the meeting, the Commission looked at how other states fund education, reviewed Illinois’ current funding formula, and discussed what should be improved.

Chaired by Secretary of Education Beth Purvis, the Commission is composed of 25 members, which includes five designees from the Rauner Administration and five designees from each of the four legislative caucuses. The Senate Republican caucus appointees are Senators Jason Barickman of Bloomington, Dave Luechtefeld of Okawville, Dan McConchie of Lake Zurich, Karen McConnaughay of West Dundee, and Sue Rezin of Peru.

On Aug. 3, the Commission received information about national “best practices” regarding school

funding, discussed the current system in Illinois and stressed defining “adequacy,” “equity” and “wealth” will be a critical as lawmakers seek to increase parity in education funding.

The Commission’s report is to be presented to the Governor and General Assembly by Feb. 1, 2017. Lawmakers say the goal is to have the General Assembly take action on a proposal in 2017.

In June, lawmakers and the Governor approved a full-year budget for K-12 education that fully funds the foundation formula for schools for the first time in seven years. It also includes a “hold-harmless” provision that guarantees no school district will receive less money than it did in the previous year.

New law decriminalizes small amounts of marijuan People caught in possession of 10 grams or less of marijuana will now face a fine of up to $200, as opposed to being arrested and possibly facing jail time, under a new law (Senate Bill 2228) signed by Gov. Rauner July 29. The new law makes Illinois the 17th state in the country to adopt a measure that decriminalizes small amounts of marijuana.

Opponents argue the new law sets a bad example, noting marijuana use and possession is still an offense under federal law. They also expressed concerns with provisions in the law that would automatically expunge citations twice a year. Additionally, critics said they would have liked to see a mechanism included in the law to provide for court supervision, treatment, and intervention, for both adults and minors.

Proponents of the law argue it creates a uniform penalty on cannabis possession throughout the state, and will help reduce Illinois’ overcrowded jails and court systems, which are often inundated with minor drug cases.

Removing these low-level offenders from the system would free up public resources for law enforcement, state’s attorneys’ offices and county jails. In addition, the reduction in penalties and expungement of the civil offense means low-level violators won’t have to live with harsh lifelong consequences, such as lost employment, education, or housing options, due to a small possession arrest.

Though the legislation was worked out with input from prosecutors and law enforcements, a number of law enforcement organizations said they are concerned about the impact of a provision in the law that establishes THC levels, the chemical responsible for marijuana’s psychological effects that are allowable while driving.

Under the new law, only drivers with a THC level of five nanograms or higher in their blood will face DIU charges, as opposed to a zerotolerance DUI law Illinois had on the books regarding marijuana. However, proponents stressed that this provision addressed situations where an individual may have had only a trace amount of marijuana in their system from using it weeks ago, and while they were no longer under the influence of the drug, they would have been charged with a DUI under the state’s former zero-tolerance policy.

Senate Bill 2228 took effect upon being signed into law.

Package of new laws

targets corruption In response to the College of DuPage administrative scandal that resulted in the firing of school President Robert Breuder in 2015, a package of legislation addressing waste, fraud, and abuse in higher education was signed into law July 29 by Gov. Rauner.

Senate Bill 2155 requires that as part of a community college’s recognition process by the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB), a review of compliance with state and federal laws regarding employment contracts and compensation must be conducted.

An advisory committee, formed by the ICCB, will then review the findings and make recommendations for changes or additions to the laws or review procedures.

Senate Bill 2157 requires that all trustees elected or appointed to a community college board must complete training that covers ethics, financial

oversight, audits, contract law, community college law, labor law, open meetings law, and freedom of information law.

Senate Bill 2158 establishes a blackout period where community college districts and boards cannot enter into employment contracts beginning 45 days before local elections and lasting until the first meeting of the new community college board of trustees.

Senate Bill 2159 requires contracts with community colleges and universities to be agreed to in open meetings.

In 2015, an investigation found former President Breuder spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayer and donor dollars on lavish perks, participated in prohibited political activity, mismanaged college and foundation funds, and noncompetitive contracts were handed out based on clout, among other abuses.

These new laws will take effect January 1.

Water Usage Stamps are now required in Illinois Non-motorized watercraft, canoe, kayak, paddle boat, or sail board, in Illinois are no longer required to be titled/registered in Illinois, unless the vessels have a motor or sail. You are now required to purchase a ‘Water Usage Stamp’ for $6 per calendar year for each of the first three vessels, and $3 each for any additional vessels. Please note: an agent fee of $.50 will be charged per vessel. The stamps are good for one year. They

expire on Dec 31 each year. Your Stamp can be adhered anywhere on the interior or exterior of the vessel as long as it is visible.

Also, life jackets are now required for all non-powered watercraft, including inner tubes. Operators of tubes can be arrested for OWI. Water Use Stickers can be purchased at any DNR point-of-sale vendor. They are valid from Jan. 1-Dec. 31.

development and education program for underserved girls. GSNI has been awarded over $160,000 – by accepting the grant, GSNI has committed to providing a substantial program match with private and in-kind funds.

This outreach program will engage girls, at 37 sites across seven northern Illinois counties including, Boone, DeKalb, Kane, McHenry, Stephenson, Whiteside, and Winnebago, who are not currently served by outreach programs funded by existing generous donors. Project Opportunity provides the Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE) to girls affected by poverty and other at-risk factors. These girls face barriers to participating in positive youth development programs.

The AmeriCorps grant funding will provide the resources and AmeriCorps Members necessary to sponsor the participation of an additional 800 girls in the Girl Scout program.

Through their participation, these 800 girls will derive the full program benefits of being a Girl Scout.

GSNI is excited to be undertaking its first year of this new AmeriCorps program. 19 AmeriCorps members will serve in communities across northern Illinois, including five fulltime members and 14 part-time

members. AmeriCorps members will provide GSLE programming through Project Opportunity. Members will work with existing GSNI partners, including schools and community centers, as well as identify new partners and sites where GSNI can reach girls who might not otherwise have the opportunity to become Girl Scouts.

AmeriCorps members will also recruit new volunteers from local communities to help with Project Opportunity programming. AmeriCorps members will not only provide critical leadership and developmental programming to girls, but also help strengthen communities by engaging with local partners and volunteers.

GSNI has a long history in providing outreach programming in Rockford and Elgin. For over a decade, hundreds of girls have been able to participate in the GSLE. Girls who participate in the outreach program show strong outcomes towards achievement, such as developing a strong sense of self, thorough understanding of financial literacy, and demonstrating effective problem solving skills. When asked about their participation in Girl Scouts, girls report being excited about making new friends, having the opportunity

to learn new things, having fun, and feeling secure in a girl group. One Girl Scout said, “In Girl Scouts, I feel like I can be myself!” GSNI is enthusiastic to expand outreach through Project Opportunity.

Across Illinois, AmeriCorps programs, which are administered by the Serve Illinois Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service, provide support to thousands of Illinoisans in need, including 425,000 disadvantaged youth. AmeriCorps members dedicate a year to helping communities meet their unmet economic, education, health, public safety, and environmental needs, while developing their own skills and passions. Members who successfully complete their service receive an educational award of up to $5,775 to help pay for college, graduate school, vocational training, or to pay off student loans.

GSNI is currently seeking dedicated individuals who are interested in serving their community as AmeriCorps members. Full and part-time members are needed. All members will receive a modest living allowance and ongoing training and development opportunities. To get involved, email AmeriCorps@girlscoutsni.org.

Eagle Nature Foundation to host its annual fall Big Bird Day On Sept. 3, the Eagle Nature Foundation, ENF, will be sponsoring a Fall 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. Last year he saw only 36 species, and if the spraying continues this year he may be very lucky to even see that many.

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

LORAN FEST 2016

time he will be sitting on the deck of his house, or walking through the 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 his walks, so people can join him, if he knows when they are coming.

Please call (815) 594-2306 to let him know when you would be joining him.

Girl Scout alumna and former Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois board member Cathy Veal, along with her husband Bill, have made a generous $10,000 donation to establish a travel scholarship endowment for Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois (GSNI).

The Veals have pledged an additional $10,000 once GSNI successfully raises $10,000 towards the fund this calendar year. The travel scholarship fund principle will remain intact at $30,000. The interest earned will be available for distribution in 2017. The fund is designed to ease financial barriers that may stand in the way of girls experiencing domestic and global travel. “The Veals have made a valuable investment in many girls’ futures,” says GSNI Fund Development Director Lynn Momberger. “This endowment has the potential to provide an amazing opportunity to so many girls who might otherwise never have dreamed they could travel to faraway places!”

Cathy’s travel experiences as a young adult broadened her world view, “Travel outside of your own little world helps you understand yourself better. Once you go to other parts of the United States or the world and meet people from other places, it gives you greater perspective about people from different places. The travel ex-

perience tests your beliefs and what you think about other cultures.” She wants girls in need to have access to domestic and global travel and enjoy the horizon-expanding experience that accompanies traveling to a new place.

GSNI offers a variety of travel options including local, national, and even international experiences for troops or individual girls. The organization offers a fun and safe experience so girls can develop their full potential. For information on travel opportunities offered through GSNI, visit www.girlscoutsni.org. To contribute to the GSNI travel scholarship endowment, donate online atwww. girlscoutsni.org/travelendowment Travel & Global Community is a key focus area for GSNI. Girl Scouts love to travel and explore the world–from field trips as Brownies to globe-trotting adventures as teens. If your girl loves exploring different places and cultures, either up close or from afar, then Girl Scouts is the place for her.

She can experience all our country has to offer, whether she’s “blasting off” at Space Camp in Alabama, taking in a Broadway show in New York City, or visiting the birthplace of Girl Scouts’ founder, Juliette Gordon Low, in Savannah, Georgia. She can plan even bigger adventures around the world, training with other Girl Scouts who share her love of adventure.

We’re Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois We believe every girl can change the world. With us, Girl Scouts develop the independence and confidence to guide their own lives and make the world a better place. We put girls in the driver’s seat and encourage them to customize their own experience.

And with programs focused on the outdoors, career and interest exploration, travel and the global community, and practical life skills, in addition to community service projects, every girl has the opportunity to unlock her full potential and be amazing! We serve 16 counties including parts or all of Boone, Carroll, Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Jo Daviess, Kane, Kendall, Lake, LaSalle, Lee, McHenry, Ogle, Stephenson, Whiteside, and Winnebago.

We’re Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois.

the ground thawed in the spring, Dietz said. The men found evidence of parties near the crypt and think bon fires helped weaken the structure.

Neither Dietz nor Bohnsack is certain about the name or site of a church which was probably associated with the cemetery. J. George Schudt, a resident of Waddams Grove in the 1800s, platted the village lots and established the cemetery on the hillside north of the village. He also created the small park in Waddams Grove, still a part of the Lena Community Park District. A frame Methodist Church was built in Waddams Grove sometime after 1835. It was razed about 1930.

The cemetery project has caught the eye of others interested in local history. Rod Dietz has donated bricks for the project, and Bohnsack is hopeful West Point Township, which oversees the cemetery, will also help.

When the cemetery crypt project is finished, another awaits. A very large slab of limestone inscribed with the cemetery’s name sits at the entrance, ready to be put into place.

Stephenson County 4-H and Stephenson County Farm Bureau were excited to host the first Master Showmanship Contest that was held during the Stephenson County Fair on Saturday, July 9.

What is a Master Showmanship Contest? It is a contest where 4-H members exhibit their showmanship skills with a steer or heifer, a market or breeding lamb, and a market hog or breeding gilt. Regardless of the livestock area they normally exhibit in (i.e. poultry, swine, dairy, goats, rabbits, etc.), the 4-H’er must exhibit all three animals for the contest. The only stipulation is that participants must be a current 4-H member enrolled in a 4-H livestock event in Stephenson County and the winner must be willing to represent his/her county at the Illinois State Fair.

We are pleased to announce that Jazmin Wingert of Kent, and a member of the Pearl City Hornets 4-H Club, was our contest winner this year. Gwen Heimerdinger, also of the Pearl City Hornets 4-H Club, was the runner-up. Jazmin will now travel to Springfield to compete in the 2016 Master Showmanship contest at the IL State Fair on Friday, Aug. 12.

“We are proud to have Jazmin representing Stephenson County at the State Fair,” said Lori Tessendorf, 4-H Program Coordinator.

“We had a small group of contestants this year but are confident this year’s contest will spark interest from other 4-H livestock exhibitors to get involved next year. It is a great opportunity for all of them.

I would also like to thank Bruce Johnson from the Farm Bureau for all of his help and for sponsoring the prizes.”

As the Master Showmanship contest winner, Jazmin received $200 and a feed bucket with scoop.

As the runner-up, Gwen received $100 and a feed bucket with scoop.

Other contestants were Zachary Brinkmeier and Drake Musser, both from Pearl City and the Pearl City Hornets 4-H Club. Stephen Haas of Kane County was the officiating judge.

All of these cases are among individuals who acquired Zika virus in their travels to Zika virus-affected areas. IDPH is analyzing the data, to determine what trends, if any, are apparent. At the time of testing, three pregnant women were confirmed to have Zika Virus.

IDHP issued a report saying, “We encourage all travelers to Zikaaffected areas to take precautions against mosquito bites and pregnant women or women who may become pregnant to avoid such travel.”

Currently, the only Zika virus cases in Illinois are travel associated. Transmission can occur sexually or congenitally. Although very unlikely, infected people who come to or return to Illinois from affected areas could infect mosquitoes if they are bitten while the virus is still circulating in their blood (viremic).

However, because the Aedes aegypti mosquito is rarely present in Illinois, it is unlikely that locally sustained

transmission would occur.

Illinois is considered to be at low risk of widespread, year-long transmission of Zika virus. The Aedes aegypti mosquito, which is the primary vector for Zika virus transmission, is rarely found in Illinois. The primary risks to Illinois residents for becoming infected with Zika Virus are (1) from travel to and from areas with active Zika virus transmission or (2) individuals who have unprotected sex with a man who has traveled to an area with active Zika virus transmission and been infected.

The Aedes albopictus mosquito is believed to be a secondary [less efficient] vector of Zika virus. Aedes albopictus has been reported from 37 Illinois counties, mostly in the southern two-thirds of the state.

This is a “container-breeding” mosquito that uses water-filled buckets, old tires, and similar containers for larval production; it does not breed in ditches, marshes, or other water impoundments in the ground. Additional survey work is needed to determine the presence and public health importance of Aedes albopictus in Illinois.

On-the-Road Seminar Motor vehicle regulations for Illinois farmers Trucking regulations got you scratching your head or hearing conflicting explanations?

To sort truth from conjecture and fact from rumor come join us at 10 a.m. on Aug. 25, at the Jo Daviess County Farm Bureau.

Jo Daviess County Farm Bureau is hosting this two-hour seminar that focuses on trucking laws for farmers—both new and well-worn. It’ll take a special look at the latest “Covered Farm Vehicle” exemptions and you’ll have the chance to ask those trucking questions that you can’t seem to find the answers for anywhere else.

A lot of laws have changed in the past 18 months! In fact, just in midJuly the Governor signed legislation adding a new exemption from the CDL. Prior to that we’ve seen changes to regulations regarding: the medical card, hours of service limitations, equipment inspection requirements, ATV operation, mobile phone use, out-of-state CDL use, post-trip inspections, and more.

We’ll cover those recent changes and some of the more-established but still misunderstood rules, too,

such as the USDOT Number, UCR registrations, and driver’s license classifications.

Presenting the seminar will be Kevin Rund who has specialized in farm transportation issues for the Illinois Farm Bureau® for more than 30 years. And you’ll receive takehome materials covering these topics.

The seminar is free courtesy of your county and state Farm Bureaus®, but advance registration is requested. Please call (815)8582235 to reserve your place at the Onthe-Road Seminar.

Come join us and get your trucking questions answered.

ferent. If you are looking for a unique way to have coleslaw, this recipe could be up your alley. Any easy way to shred the cabbage is to put it in the food processor; you can also do the carrots in the food processor. The unique thing about the coleslaw is that you microwave it for just a few minutes. Be certain you get rid of the liquid or the slaw will be soupy and not very tasty. The pepper gives it just a little kick. Enjoy this barbecue coleslaw

The not so skinny cook I think we might be catching up on our rain for the summer. We certainly have had some storms and rain the last week. I better not complain because I haven’t had to water my flowers. I just can’t believe that we are in the beginning of August. In a little over a month we will have Labor Day, and fall will begin. The summer is producing some great fresh vegetables and fruits; I picked my first tomato this week. I think the hot weather helped it to ripen.. This week we continue to feature some of the summer’s finest food.

The first recipe is for a great appetizer. Most of the time nachos are made with ground beef; this recipe uses chicken. The rotisserie chicken from the grocery store is a great way to get this appetizer finished quickly.

Your family or guests will love eating it. The jar of Alfredo sauce makes it a breeze. Be sure to seed the tomatoes so you don’t have watery nachos.

Enjoy this easy and fun appetizer any time of the year.

Chicken Alfredo Nachos

1 jar Creamy Alfredo Pasta Sauce 2 C. shredded cooked chicken 7 C. tortilla chips 1½ C. chopped and seeded tomatoes ½ C. shredded Parmesan cheese ¼ C. banana pepper rings ¼ C. thinly sliced fresh basil.

Cook the Alfredo sauce and chicken in a saucepan on medium heat for 5 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Layer half each of the chips, chicken mixture, tomatoes and cheese on a platter; repeat layers and top with any remaining ingredients.

It seems as if everything is barbecued these days. Cabbage is no dif-

Barbecue Coleslaw

1 head (12 cups) shredded cabbage 2 T. sugar Salt and pepper 1 Cup mayonnaise 1/3 C. distilled white vinegar 1 T. prepared horseradish 1 t. Worcestershire sauce 1 garlic clove, minced ½ t. dry mustard ¼ t. cayenne pepper 2 carrots, peeled and shredded Toss cabbage, sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt together in bowl. Microwave, covered, until just beginning to wilt, about 3 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Transfer half of cabbage to center of clean dish towel.

Gather ends of towel to form bundle and twist to squeeze out excess water.

Transfer to a clean bowl and repeat with remaining cabbage.

Whisk mayo, vinegar, horseradish, Worcestershire, garlic, mustard, cayenne, 1¼ teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in cabbage and carrots and refrigerate, covered, until chilled, at least one hour. (Coleslaw can be refrigerated for up to 2 days) Try this new take on bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches with the addition of crab. I use the imitation crab and chop it up pretty finely. I think it is just as tasty and much more economical. The toasting of the Texas toast on one side makes for a firm and crusty bread for your sandwich. See if you like the addition of crab to the standard BLT. The recipe makes only two sandwiches; you need to double it for four sandwiches.

Stuffed Summer Squash

browned and pepper is soft, about 7-8 minutes. Drain off any fat.

Stir together cream cheese and sausage mixture in a bowl. Hollow out a deep well down the center of each squash using a small spoon, leaving a ¼ inch shell all the way around. Take a thin slice off skin side of each half so it will be flat. Put squash in prepared baking sheet, cut sides up, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Divide filling evenly among squash, about ½ cup each, pressing down lightly. Top each with ¾ teaspoon of bread crumbs and ½ teaspoon remaining oil.

Bake until filling is piping hot and squash is tender, about 30 minutes.

Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Serve hot or at room temperature.

(You can sauté the scooped out squash with onion and garlic. Add one half of a tomato and stir fry with some cooked brown rice. Therefore, you use all the squash—this is a great side dish.)

Blackberries are in season now, and this pie is a great way to showcase their great flavor. You can use your own pie crust recipe or use the prepared crusts. A word of advice—use a pie rack or place aluminum foil on a cookie sheet before placing pie in oven. This pie could run over; either of these suggestions will make your life easier. I cover my pie cooking rack with foil, so I don’t even have to scrub that. Serve the pie warm with ice cream, and it is a dessert to die for!

tered 2 cans (6 oz.) crabmeat, drained or 6 oz. imitation crab meat 1/3 C. mayonnaise 1/3 C. diced celery 2 T. minced green onions 1 T. minced celery leaves 1 T. minced lemon zest 2 t. minced fresh tarragon 1 t. Old Bay seasoning Salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce to taste 2 leaves green leaf lettuce 4 thin tomato slices, blotted to soak up moisture ½ avocado, thinly sliced Preheat the broiler to high with rack about 6 inches down.

Combine the crab, mayo, celery, onions, celery leaves, zest, tarragon, and Old Bay. Season with salt, pepper, and Tabasco.

Assemble the sandwiches by layering lettuce on the untoasted sides of two slices of bread, then top each with two slices of tomato, one cup crab salad, half the avocado slices, and two strips of bacon. Top each with another slice of bread, toasted side up. (Makes 2 sandwiches) This recipe for zucchini or yellow summer squash takes a sausage stuffing into the shells of the squash. It is a tasty way to eat squash as a main dish with meat. The great part is that you can make another dish with the squash you hollow out. This is actually a two-for-one cooking recipe.

It has been a nice reprieve the last few days to have cooler weather. I went to music in the park, and then we went to Café 217 Espresso and Bakery Shoppe for ice cream.

Jo Daviess County Farm Bureau offering $250 towards R.O.P.S. purchase

The Jo Daviess County Farm Bureau would like to offer funds to reimburse farmers for purchasing ROPS (Rollover Protective Structures.)

Fifty-five percent of farm tractors in Illinois do not have a cab or ROPS (Rollover Protection Structure.)

Only 1 in 5 victims will survive a tractor rollover accident. The leading cause of farm related deaths in Illinois is tractor rollover accidents.

They account for more than 30% of farm related deaths. ROPS help protect farmers and family members from being crushed in the event of a tractor turnover or rollover. Safety Chairman, Dan Robbe, states that “Safety is a priority of the farm bureau, and we would like to encourage our members to install ROPS on their tractors”.

Jo Daviess County Farm Bureau members who purchase a ROPS between May 1 and Sept. 30 would receive a reimbursement of $250 towards the purchase of a ROPS (Six rebates are available). To receive the $250, members would need to bring in their paid invoice to the Farm Bureau office in Elizabeth. Customers would be responsible for the cost, freight, and installation which are available through the dealer.

If you have been thinking about putting a ROPS on one of your tractors – now is the time! For more information about this program, or to become a member of our organization, contact the Jo Daviess County Farm Bureau office at (815) 8582235 or email jdcfbmgr@blkhawk. net.

University of Dubuque announces Spring 2016 Dean’s List The University of Dubuque congratulates the following students on being appointed to the Spring Semester 2016 Academic Dean’s List.

To be named to the dean’s list, a student must earn a grade point average (GPA) of 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale for that semester.

Students from the River Ridge FFA chapter attend leadership camp River Ridge FFA chapter members, Kara Conklin and Brady Haring attended the annual FFA Leadership Camp at 4-H Memorial Campgrounds in Monticello, IL on July 2226. This camp is an activity of the Illinois Association FFA, and invited were FFA members from across the state for a fun-filled week. Leadership Camp is truly the experience of a lifetime for over 300 FFA members each year, and through camp traditions such as the challenge course and the annual Ag Olympics, campers learned to work as a team.

This year’s camp theme, “Maximize”, truly shined as each and every camper developed their potential as a young leader. Many campers even stepped out of their comfort zones through activities such as the talent show where many members showcased their talents such as singing, stand-up comedy, and even hula hooping. Other camp favorites included a keynote from past Illinois FFA State Presidents, David Mouser and Kade Hill, the red and blue water balloon war, and the red and blue dance. All members would agree it was another memorable week in history at FFA Leadership Camp.

FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.

Pet Talk: pets have a positive impact on kids Many people remember caring for their childhood pet and the joy they felt from developing a relationship with an animal. Although welcoming a pet into your home is a big commitment, children can learn responsibility by learning to care for pets with adult supervision. In addition, childhood pets can also introduce children to friendship and family bonding.

“Children learn about responsible pet ownership by observing their parents,” said Dr. Sara Griffin, lecturer at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.

“As a child gets older, their respon-

sibilities with pet care can increase.

Children who learn to take on responsibilities appropriate for their age will gain self-confidence and grow up to be responsible adults.”

Additionally, family pets can encourage family bonding. Pets need daily exercise, so daily walking with the pet may provide good quality time for the family. Playing or interacting with the pet in the house can take the focus off the TV or computer and also encourage family interactions.

While children are learning to care for their pet, they may also develop a loving relationship with them. This

companionship may provide children comfort and emotional support. “Positive pet interactions with children can help develop non-verbal communication skills, compassion, and empathy in children,” Griffin said. “Pets can provide children with a listening ear and friendship. Studies show that reading aloud to a loyal companion can increase a young reader’s self-confidence and improve reading skills.”

But how can a family know when it is the right time to get a pet? Sometimes this decision can be difficult.

When considering adopting or purchasing a pet, it is important to remem-

ber the pet’s needs, such as food, water, and veterinary care. Adults must also commit to supervising their children caring for the pet’s basic needs.

“Pet ownership is a time, energy, and financial commitment,” Griffin said.

“Parental involvement is necessary for any child learning to care for a pet. A child who learns to care for a pet may learn important lessons, such as how to treat people and animals with kindness, patience, and respect.”

Additionally, the age of the children caring for the pet should also be considered when deciding if it is appropriate to welcome a pet into the home.

“Children as young as two years old can help feed a pet but should never be left alone with a pet because the

child does not fully understand their boundaries,” Griffin said. “Children around the age of 10 should be able to walk, feed, and clean up after a pet, but would still require adult supervision.”

Pets offer children and adults love, loyalty, and affection. Although adopting or purchasing a pet is a big commitment, they can make a positive impact on children by teaching them responsibility, compassion, and patience.

Ole and Lena’s house needed painting, but Ole didn’t know how much paint he needed. Lena said, “Sven has the same house we do and he painted his house last year. Why don’t you ask him how much paint he bought?” Ole says, “Good idea. I’ll ask him.” He goes to Sven’s house and says, “I am painting my house.

We both have the same house and you painted yours last year. Tell me, how much paint did you buy?” Sven says, “I bought fourteen gallons.”

Ole buys fourteen gallons of paint, and when he is finished painting the house, he has eight gallons of paint left over. He goes to see Sven and says, “You told me you bought fourteen gallons of paint to paint your house. I bought fourteen gallons of paint and had eight gallons left over.”

Sven says, “Yah, so did I.”
