Main St., Suite A, Lena, IL 815-369-422561048 Trenten Scheidegger CORRESPONDENT The Stockton Blackhawks’ football team and their head coach Matt Leitzen are hop ing to bounce back from a 3-6 2021 season. Roster turnover is a major part of all high school football teams’ obsta cles as holes are filled at the beginning of each season. The 2022 Blackhawks have some extremely big shoes to fill after graduating some of their main focal points on of fense. Leitzen, in his eighth year of coaching and third as Stockton’s head coach, under stands that better than anyone. In the final two games of the 2021 season Ian Broshous, former Stockton running back, touched the ball 36 times. That was by far the biggest workload for any Blackhawk specialist. Their next biggest ball handler was quarterback Caleb Mammoser. In Mam moser’s final two games as a Blackhawk, he rushed the ball 14 times and slung 38 passes as the Blackhawks attempted to keep up with the high scor ing offenses of Lena-Winslow andWDurand-Pecatonica.ithbothMammoser and Ian Broshous moving on to the college level, the Black hawks and Leitzen will look for some new guys to step up in the backfield. Perhaps the most experienced ball carrier to return for 2022 is senior running back Jace Phil lips. At 5’10”, 190 pounds, Phillips packs a punch in the Blackhawk backfield. Phil lips rushed the ball 86 times for 374 yards in 2021 and will surely look to build off that in 2022.Returning alongside Phil SONYA wILLIAmSON PHOTO Rock Valley Publishing How sweet it is The Stockton FFA students had a bumper crop of sweet corn this year. Pictured left to right are FFA members Kyle Haas, Javier Montalvo, Ava Hess, David Lancaster and Hannah Brudi.
lips is another experienced senior Dustin Oppold. With 73 carries for 318 yards in 2021, Oppold got his fair share of work as a junior be hind Broshous. In their senior campaigns, both Oppold and Phillips will look to step into that number one role. Perhaps the most likely op tion for Leitzen is to run the backfield by committee. With a pair of experienced ball han dlers returning and newcomer junior running back Tanner Gile, Leitzen will have his op tions in 2022. The good news for anyone stepping up as a ball carrier is that they will do so with a solid offensive line in front of them. The Blackhawks return Michael Haas, a junior offensive and defensive line man who earned NUIC Hon orable Mentions on both sides of the ball in 2021. At 5’11”, 230 pounds, Haas will look to lead the way up front for the Blackhawks. Also returning up front is Dawson Broshous, a 5’7, 195-pound senior. Newcomer Wesley Logemann looks to provide some size on the line, standing 5’11 and weighing 230 pounds. With Logemann also being a junior, the Blackhawks have a pair of sizeable linemen to lead the way up front for the next two years.With a long season ahead, Leitzen is focused on the ba sics. The 2022 Blackhawks will have to control what they can control if they want to be successful. Leitzen says for the team to do that, they need to “play fundamentally sound on both sides of the ball and win the turnover margin each week.” Turnovers were a problem for the Blackhawks in 2021 as three fumbles cost the team in the final regu lar season game against LeWin, and an interception in the postseason put a damper on any momentum they had built.With a physical front, an experienced defense, and a lot of holes to fill, Leitzen is hoping to be competitive this season. “We expect to com pete each week and ultimately be playing our best football by the end of the season.”
The 2022 Blackhawks will open up their season with an away matchup against East land-Pearl City on Friday, Sept. 2. Their first home matchup comes seven days later when they play host to the Dakota Indians on Friday, Sept. 9. The Blackhawks have a tough ending to the 2022 season with back-to-back meetings with Lena-Winslow and Du-Pec, the same two teams they lost to at the end of the 2021 Leitzencampaign.andthe Black hawks have a long way to go, but they will have plenty of time find their identity and work out the kinks before their biggest games of the year.

Douglas Society of Freeport annual event Dr. Sabryna Cornish will be the guest speaker at this year’s annual ceremony commemorating the anniversary of the Freeport Lincoln-Douglas Debate. On Thursday, Aug. 25 at 6 p.m. in the large meeting room of Freeport Public Library, Dr. Cornish’s topic will be “Ethics in Social Media.” The event is open to the public free of charge. Currently Dr. Cornish is a Communications Specialist with ReaderLink, LLC, and prior to that she was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication and Media Studies at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois. She holds a Ph.D. in Communications Research from the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign.OnAug.27, 1858, Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas met in Freeport for the second of their seven debates in their race for a United States Senate seat from Illinois. Douglas was the incumbent Senator, while Lincoln was trying to unseat him. The primary issue of what became known in history as the Lincoln-Douglas Debates, was the issue of the spread of slavery to new territories verses the issue of power of the Federal government to control that spread. The Lincoln-Douglas Society of Freeport, founded in 1929, has long sought to preserve the memory of the Freeport Debate, as well as foster the ideals of free speech and public discourse in a democracy.

Stop the world, I want to get off to that, we lived our lives largely confined, somewhat comfortably, to our own communities. By printed, rather impersonal newspapers we heard about earth-shaking events such as Krakatoa (1883) and recurrent wars in Europe.Today, thousands of satellites beam happenings worldwide to our pockets and wrists almost simultaneously, overloading our brains with mayhem and scary possibilities. Unsettling. Second, the rate of change in society has been accelerating lickety-split (a technical term). For most of human history, nothing, or very little, changed in the life span of most humans. Then, with the Renaissance in the 14-15th centuries, the Enlightenment, Industrial Revolution, flight, and radio-TV, change took off. Personal computers are only a few decades old (remember the Apple computer of the 1980s?), and Facebook has been with us less than 20 years.Third, the nano-world of science is incomprehensible to me, and thus unsettling. One thousand cells can sit side by side on a gossamer hair on the back of your hand, and within each cell is six miles of spooled DNA! And scientists can now, with some precision, snip into that coil of DNA, take out and replace defective genes. Magic.Fourth, information sells. After all, social media and advertisers are in the eyeball business. So, the social media platforms suck us into scrolling through our devices even more of the time. And when it comes to information, fear trumps nice every time. Again, a survival thing. For social media, this means, for reassurance, that on social media we tend to retreat into echo chambers of like-minded people. And we come to fear and loathe those who don’t agree with us. We call it Stoppolarization.theworld,I want to get off. But we can’t. So, what to do? What might calm the waters (and relieve my jitters)?Many of us retreat to Florida, and try to forget about all this. We love our grandchildren, we declare, yet leave what we have wrought for them to wrestle with.We could use, and might follow, a charismatic leader who would take us out of this scary morass. Yet, such captivating leaders can be either good or evil, as we have seen through history. Or, we could use a secular Great Awakening, such as the two, broad, religious revivals of spirit in early American history.Until recent years, I had hoped that Colin Powell might be that leader who would awaken the better angels of our nature. But it wasn’t to be, and I can’t think of anyone else of that reassuring, dignified and calmSo,stature.theopposite of giving up is “pitching in” to address our problems. We could start a new political party, which would be radical in the sense that its mantra would be, simply, “settle down, we can handle this, together.”
Life is hard. There are losses and endings of many kinds: Losses we are born with. Losses we learn to live with. Losses we hide. Losses that scar us. Losses we die with. There is loss of love. Loss of health. Loss of lifestyle. Loss of life. The end of a career. The end of a marriage. The end of a friendship. We all (ALL!) go through hard times. We all experience hard things during our journey on this earth. Death, taxes and hard times. We all have at least three things in common. I’ve asked myself the obvious question over and over: Why does it have to be this way, loss being so intertwined with life? I don’t like the answer, but I can only come up with one: It’s how it is supposed to be. Still, it most often sucks. We may feel alone in our own difficulties, but I promise you, everyone you meet is going through, has gone through or is about to go through a hard time. A test in life.Itdoesn’t seem right, from many perspectives, but maybe the hard times are opportunities. Maybe they are times we become capable of great growth and intense clarity.Maybe we didn’t have a choice in the loss of our current situation, but maybe we have a choice and a voice in its ultimate outcome. Maybe we are more in charge than we could possibly imagine.Embrace the maybe. Cling to the maybe. Make your maybe your possibility and then your reality It’s all about perspective. I’ve said this before: each of us gets to choose ours. It comes down to a few questions:WillIdwell on our one goodbye, or on our many hellos?DoI live in memory of my pain or the joy we built together?AmIunlucky because you left this earth, or was I lucky because we got to be here together?AmIa victim or survivor? Do I let the fire consume me, or do I rise from the ashes?Ican’t control my past, but who will control my future? When you are living it out in real time, these questions are not only real; they are overwhelming and true. They can be life-defining. No matter the tragedy, wrong or burden we carry, we have a choice of where, how By PertlerJill Columnist life

Even though we are overall much better off than our grandparents in wealth, health and lifespan, many of us are unsettled, deeply concerned, even jittery about how the movie of life is playing out. Stop the world, I say, I want to get off. First, some context. From reptiles to humans, we animals are continually scanning the horizon for threats and opportunities. We absolutely crave information. That is why, according to research firm Statista, Americans on average spend four or more hours a day on our smartphones. Underneath, it’s a survival thing.When television came into our homes post-World War II, the world shrank. Prior

Lady Blackhawks look to compete atop the NUIC By Trenten Scheidegger CorreSpondent The Stockton Blackhawks’ volleyball squad is returning off a solid 20-13 season, in which they finished 8-4 in NUIC play. Despite having such an impressive conference record, loads of talent in the NUIC left the Blackhawks out of the top half of the NUIC standings. Allie McCallips, Stockton’s Head Coach, expects the same level of competition in 2022. “All eyes are on Galena, they are a machine”, McCallips said adding, “Aquin is super strong this year too, so I anticipate those two teams to be at the top of the NUIC again, this season.” Both Galena and Aquin finished a perfect 12-0 in conference play and picked up over 30 victories in 2021.”

dation. After 1,000 caps are entered, Prairie Farms Dairy will send a check to support our Foundation.
Despite the tough level of competition around them, McCallips and the Blackhawks have plenty of reason to be optimistic. The loss of Brynn and Kenze Haas certainly leaves some big shoes to be filled, but the Blackhawks should have one of the more experienced rosters around.Whittney Sullivan looks to lead the way in her senior campaign as she returns off an impressive junior season in which she earned an NUIC Honorable Mention. Sullivan was one of the Blackhawks’ top defenders last year as she finished with 205 digs, which was the most for any underclassmen.Alsoreturning are five other seniors in Lauren Kehl, Abby Wilkinson, Morgan Blair, Olivia Keefer, and Kyleigh Reusch. With six seniors on the roster, McCallips should have plenty of veteran presence on the court. McCallips also expects a good amount of younger talent to mix in with a trio of juniors in Eve Moore, Addison Ersnt, and Gabbi VenHuizen. The Blackhawks could also have some sophomores on the floor for Varsity in Katelyn Winters, Madie Mammoser, Kacy Wright, and Emily Broshous. With such strong numbers, McCallips hopes to be able to use that to their advantage. The ability to change lineups and mix and match certain matchups will allow McCallips to attack their opponents’ weaknesses, while taking advantage of their own strengths. “I have a lot of versatile players so I’m looking to make strong and creative lineups to win some games, all while the girls are enjoying their time”, McCallips said. McCallips also hopes the Blackhawks can improve from within. A competitive group should lead to some intense practices. McCallips noted that, “They are so eager to win. There is a lot of motivation to play hard every game and come together, truly, as a team.” The Blackhawks look to put their talent on display when they travel to Orangeville on Monday, Aug. 22. They will follow that up with another away match as they travel to face off with the Pearl City Wolves on Thursday, Aug. 25.
Contributed commentary I’m sharing a contribut ed commentary from Joanie Stiers who shares these pieces with Illinois Farm Bureau. I felt that this had a great mes sage since our rural commu nities have such a commit ment to volunteerism.
Agriculture cultivates better communities Joanie StierS “My life is one big vol unteer commitment. LOL.” That’s an accurate assess ment. I inquired about a project of our FFA Alumni organization, and my aunt was fresh off two community events for separate volunteer groups that weekend. Mind you, this is after a week of watching grandkids, prepar ing meals for the farm crew, and caring for aging parents. It seems appropriate to insert a cross-eyed, slightly stressed emoji face to our message exchange. Her bank account didn’t reflect it, but she im pacted many lives for the better and profited in satisfac tion.My aunt’s level of com mitment to giving and vol unteerism places her in an elite category of service and selflessness. But generally speaking, farmers and other agriculture professionals are among the most giving peo ple I know, and their explana tion for this servant attitude is about as simple as the desire to farm: It’s in their blood, and it’s the right thing to do. Previous generations taught us to volunteer out of duty and necessity. In small towns like ours, volunteers even handle firefighting and first-response medical care. Thanks to volunteers, our communities are safe, Lena, IL HAPPEN! your The Highland Community College Agriculture depart ment has a couple of events happening in the next month that you may be interested in.

my kids have a 4-H fair and youth in our small town have soccer and summer baseball programs. Volunteers pro vide amenities in our parks and coordinate the town’s largest events. They share hours of their time, skills, and resources to improve schools, churches, hospitals, and non-profit groups for the betterment of our community. Rural areas lack paid staff to handle such life-impacting essentials.Across Illinois, Farm Bu reau families make impacts when they sponsor youth safety programs from bikes to farm equipment. Volun teers coordinate blood drives and health screenings at their county Farm Bureau build ings. The same families give their time in the church kitch en for a community dinner. They organize the school car nival, decorate for the annual FFA banquet, and understand the commitment of running a quality food stand as a fund raiser.Just before COVID, our community won the Gover nor’s Cup for exemplary vol unteerism to build our small town’s playground. In a tre mendous effort, volunteers raised $150,000 in funds and physically built that two-sto ry, barn-shaped playground using their farm-based skills and donated use of resources, from power tools to tractors. At that same park, more than 100 local FFA and 4-H volunteers will gather this month to transform that space into an agritourism attraction with free admission for more than 20 activities – a bale climb, farm chore course, high-tech sprayer simula tor, and farm animals among them. Local youth eagerly help organize and operate this annual agriculture festival, and seasoned volunteers find satisfaction knowing they have instilled an ethic of ser vice in the next generation.

Let us take the worry out of having
By Jerry Nowicki Capitol News illiNois The Illinois Department of Transportation last week laid out a $34.6 billion six-year spending plan for road, bridge, transit, rail, airport and port up keep.It’s the latest multi-year plan backed by the state’s 2019 Re build Illinois bipartisan infra structure law, which doubled the state’s motor fuel tax from 19 to 38 cents per gallon and sched uled it to grow with the rate of inflation.Thatmeasure also increased driving-related fees, redirected a portion of the state’s sales tax on motor fuel to the road fund and authorized borrowing to pay for construction projects. “A little over three years ago, I signed our historic biparti san infrastructure program into law,” Gov. JB Pritzker said at a news conference at the IDOT building in Springfield. “And since then, Rebuild Illinois has undertaken a massive transfor mation of our state’s transporta tionApproximatelysystems.” $8.6 billion has already been spent in the first three years of the Rebuild Illinois plan on road and bridge projects, including over $6.4 billion on the state transporta tion system and over $2.1 bil lion on local systems. It’s a slower pace than laid out in the six-year $33.2 billion spending plan passed in 2019. But IDOT Secretary Omer Os man said he’s hopeful that the pace picks up as several large projects move beyond the initial engineering phase. IDOT has expanded its engi neering staff and lawmakers ap proved a “design-build” process in Senate Bill 2981 this year to combine the design and con struction in a more efficient bid ding process, which could also hasten things, he said. “We are aggressively, aggres sively pushing all these projects across the entire state,” he said. The highway portion of the multi-year plan—a required filing each year for the state’s transportation agency—ac counts for $24.6 billion of the planned spending. Of that, $13.3 billion, or 54 percent, is federally funded, just over $6 billion is state funding, $4.1 bil lion comes from bond proceeds, and $1.2 billion comes from lo calThereimbursements.currentfiscal year, which began July 1, is scheduled to see $3.7 billion in new construction under the road and bridge plan. Another near-$10 billion in combined state, federal, local and private spending was laid out for transit, marine transpor tation, railways and airports. Of that, 59 percent was state spend ing and 31 percent federal. Projects in that plan range from construction of high-speed rail between St. Louis and Chi cago to airport upgrades to sup port for major port renovations at the confluence of the Missis sippi and Ohio rivers near Cairo in southern Illinois. Road projects are under way in all nine of the state’s IDOT districts, from a $54 million interchange reconstruction, bridge replacement and repair on Interstate 80 in Will County, to $100.3 million for improve ments on Interstate 24 from Metropolis to Interstate 57 in Massac, Johnson and William son“Thecounties.renovation of nearly 4,500 miles of highway and over 400 bridges has already been completed, and virtually every Illinois resident can see and feel the results in real time,” Pritzker said. The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act signed into law by President Joe Biden last year allowed Illinois to ex pand its multi-year plan by $4 billion, Osman said. The fact that Illinois had an infrastructure plan when the fed eral law passed, Pritzker said, made the state better equipped to take advantage of federal match ing funding, which provides for an 80 percent federal match for a state’s investment of 20 percent of certain projects’ costs. “Because we passed rebuild Illinois two-and-a-half years before the (federal law) was passed, we actually are shovel ready, we have the resources available,” Pritzker said. “There

The Rebuild Illinois plan passed with overwhelming bi partisan majorities in Pritzker’s first year as governor, marking the first state capital infrastruc ture plan in nearly a decade. Lawmakers from both parties hailed it as forward-thinking for its automatic motor fuel tax in crease, raised registration rates for electric vehicles, and the au thorization of bonding to pay for construction.Themotor fuel tax and fee increase, contained in Senate Bill 1939 passed 48-9 in the Senate and 83-29 in the House. The spending plan, contained in House Bill 62, passed 95-18 in the House and 53-6 in the Sen ate. The bonding authority mea sure, contained in House Bill 142, passed 94-20 in the House and 53-6 in the Senate. One lawmaker voting against all three portions of the plan was then-Rep. Darren Bailey, the Xenia Republican and current state senator who is challenging Pritzker in the 2022 governor’s race.Bailey has frequently crit icized the motor fuel tax in crease, successfully using it as an avenue of attack against chal lengers in the Republican prima ry. But he hasn’t offered up an infrastructure funding plan of hisAskedown. for comment on the infrastructure plan and potential alternatives, Bailey’s team is sued a statement. “JB Prtizker’s gas tax hike gave Illinois the second-highest gas tax in the country, and some of the highest gas prices. It is simply not affordable,” spokes person Joe DeBose said in a statement. “48 states are able to build their transportation infra structure with lower gas taxes than Illinois. We can do better with zero-based budgeting and reprioritizing spending, but not with J.B. Pritzker in charge.” Osman, who has worked at IDOT for more than 30 years and became its director under Pritzker, said the motor fuel tax increase means infrastructure improvements can continue be yond Rebuild Illinois’ initial sixyear“Welifespan.arenumber three in the nation when it comes to inter state land mileage, and that’s a big statement to make,” he said. “Our system is complex, and we need that sustainable funding as we go down the road beyond the six years, for sure.”

Succotash has a long his tory in America. It was in troduced to the colonists ear ly after they landed by the Native Americans. It has a history of using inexpensive vegetables or end of season vegetables. Succotash was often served during the Great Depression because it was inexpensive and used every thing that was available. It is often made with lima beans, turnips, rutabagas, or pota toes. During the Depression it was made into a pie. This succotash uses green beans, zucchini, and corn as its base. The colorful cherry tomatoes make it an attractive side dish.

Final Thoughts I was fortunate enough not to have a lot of storm damage. I always have water that comes through the cracks when the ground is saturated. Thank God for sump pumps! One of my teacher friends used to say that his sump pump running was music to his ears. I agree wholeheartedly with that statement. My heart aches for my friends in Lena who had water and sewer problems, and it breaks for my friends in Pearl City. Mother Nature again played a cruel trick on us. Our fields were beautiful and now have standing water. However, there are several things I know about where I live. People help each other. Numerous postings have told how people have come out to help those who needed it. As the Annie song goes, “The sun will come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar,” and we will survive. We are tough people who face challenges together. My hope is that we always live in communities that have this attitude about helping our neighbor. We are lucky that no one was hurt or killed, and we can keep on plugging away. We are soon coming up on Labor Day. If you have any recipes for a last of summer gathering, remember that we continue to seek good farm stand recipes. Remember if you have some good vegeta ble or fruit recipes for the sea son, send them our way. You can contact us in person, by mail at From Lena’s Kitchens, Shopper’s Guide at 240 W. Main St. or email us at shopper@rvpublishing.com.scoop

performing activities of daily living that is too often seen in theInelderly.terms of your oral health, dehydration signals your body to conserve the fluid it has. One of the ways it does this is by reducing the production of saliva. Without saliva to remove food, prevent staining, neutralize acids, remineralize tooth enamel, hydrate your oral tissues and decrease plaque formation, you are at an increased risk for tooth decay, periodontal disease, bad breath, oral infections, and systemic disease. Adequate hydration is critical in all seasons and at all ages in your lifetime. It is easy to become dehydrated in the winter because the air is less moist. The drier the air, the more water you lose as you breathe. When you “see your breath” on a chilly winter morning, that is water leaving your body. When it is cold, people tend to be less thirsty and forget to drink water. The colder it is the more quickly your sweat evaporates, so it’s less obvious that you are losing fluids.Bottom line, if you want to stay healthy, you need to establish daily hydration habits. Since you do not drink when you are sleeping, begin every day by rehydrating with a glass of fluoridated tap water. This will not only flush toxins out of your system, rev up your immune system, kick in your metabolism, and assist your brain to help you feel awake and alert, but it will also support your oral health. Make it easy to stay hydrated throughout the day by keeping a bottle of fluoridated tap water close at hand. Make sure that your diet contains fruits and vegetables with a high-water content (lettuce and spinach for example are almost entirely water). While nothing beats water for routine hydration, choose milk with its electrolytes, calories, fat, and proteins, to rehydrate and prevent muscle soreness after any intense or prolonged physical activity or exercise.
As the summer heat and talk of global warming continue to dominate the evening news, it’s time to take a serious look at the effects of dehydration on both your oral and physical health. Dehydration occurs when you aren’t drinking enough fluids to replace those you have lost. Since your body weight is 60 percent water, water is crucial to all bodily functions. Therefore, even a mild state of dehydration can impact your body’s ability to conduct normal functions. Heat can vary in how it affects the body and there is not just one specific symptom that indicates you are dehydrated. Symptoms depend on a number of factors including age, health, climate, elevation, and level of physical activity. For instance, infants can become dehydrated with even slight fluid loss. Dehydration in infants and toddlers may present as irritability, listlessness, excessive sweating, unusual sleepiness, crying without tears, a diaper that hasn’t been wet for over three hours, dry mouth, and flushed or sunken cheeks. Adults may feel dizzy, weak, confused, nauseated or faint, have excessive thirst, dry eyes or blurred vision, urinate less, and have dark-colored urine.Infants and young children, as well as the elderly and people with chronic health conditions, have more difficulty regulating their body temperature. We all know to take precautions when it is sunny and hot outside, but you should be aware that a hot indoor room without air conditioning or circulating air can be as dangerous, or as fatal, as being in a car on a sweltering day, especially for these more vulnerable groups. They are also at more risk for both heat exhaustion and heatstroke when it is humid, as humidity makes it harder for sweat to evaporate. Sweat is one of the ways your body cools itself. If you have reached the point where you are no
