BUDA — Not just everyone can tell the difference between a male and female Monarch butterfly, but the third-graders at Bureau Valley South can.

In addition to knowing that the male butterfly has a dark spot on its wings, the third-grade stu-dents of teacher Laurie Bitting can also tell you just how far a Monarch butterfly can fly in one hour and how far the butterfly will travel when migrating from Illinois to Mexico. The students

also know why their teacher brings milkweed into the class-room each day. They know and can explain the life cycle of the Monarch because they have seen it first-hand.

Bitting and her class are in the midst of a multi-week Monarch life cycle project, which she has adapted from the project origi-nally done by now retired Bureau Valley teachers Ann Christiansen and Joan Keener.

On Thursday, Bitting said she loves the Monarch project because it not only teaches sci-ence, but it also incorporates other curriculum into it. Her stu-dents study geography as they learn about Mexico, where it’s located and why it’s a destination for the butterfly. The students learn math as they talk about the speed of the butterfly and

Walnut hears police business

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Senior Center (BCSC) will be tooting its horn all month as September is National Senior Center Month.

This is the time where senior centers all around showcase what they do and just how much they serve and provide for their communities.

“It’s a time to show we’re not just little old ladies and gentlemen sitting around watching the days go by,” BCSC Director Denise Ihrig explained. “We are very active and offer many programs and activities for our senior citizens.”

Being the only senior center in the county, it’s BCSC’s mission to hear and meet the needs of the senior population. The provided services are meant to promote senior involvement and com-munity awareness.

“Our primary objec-tive is to extend inde-pendence and life with dignity and grace. We go above and beyond and do whatever it takes to be the Bureau County Senior Center,” Ihrig said.

She added without her phenomenal and caring staff on hand, the center just wouldn’t be as suc-cessful as it is today.

WALNUT— At its Tuesday meeting, the Walnut Board of Trust-ees heard from Walnut Police Chief Tom Ptasnik the necessary stickers for the slow-moving vehicle ordinance have been ordered.

This ordinance was passed at the Aug. 18 meeting. The stickers for the remainder of 2014

will be blue in color, and a pro-rated fee will be charged for the months left in this year. New stickers will be available for 2015 beginning in January with a new color chosen for each new year. The pro-rated fee will be determined after receipt of the 2014 stickers.

Ptasnik also reported the new decals for the second village police car have been applied to the car. He invited the board members to view the car

as he had it parked at the meeting hall. The light bar for this same car has been received and will be installed as soon as pos-sible. After this installa-tion, the two squad cars will be exactly the same with respect to lights and decals.

The police chief also reported the two taser guns approved by the board and ordered have been received.

Board member Ryan Rosenthal addressed

the board regarding the Chamber of Commerce meeting he attended in August. Rosenthal stated two committees were formed at this meet-ing. One committee was established to continue the work for the estab-lishment of a grocery store in the village. This committee is still in need of a chairperson to spearhead this group. The second committee will be working on the improvement of Main

Street within the village. Rosenthal will be a mem-ber of this second com-mittee. This committee has scheduled its first meeting for Sept. 9.

Several board mem-bers suggested to Rosen-thal this Chamber com-mittee contact the Illi-nois Main Street Program for possible ideas, grant money, etc. that might be available to the village. Rosenthal agreed with this idea and stated he would make the contact

with this program.Acting board President

Dennis Grobe stated he will be contacting the vil-lage attorney regarding further steps available to the village regarding the deteriorating condition of Main Street buildings and the lack of response from the owners of the buildings. Grobe will schedule the attorney to attend a board meeting in the near future.

long it will take the butter-flies to get to Mexico. They put into use their reading skills as they learn words like metamorphosis, molt-ing and migration and as they read the books on butterflies collected in the classroom. They also expe-rience a little social stud-ies as they learn about the democratic system when they vote on a name for each butterfly, Bitting said.

Though it’s a an amaz-ing learning project on many levels, Bitting said it’s just plain fun for the kids as well.

Student Elizabeth Back-er still remembers watch-ing a caterpillar shed its skin for the final time, revealing its chrysalis underneath.

“It’s the coolest thing I have ever seen,” Elizabeth said.

Classmate Kenzi Fisher said she has enjoyed the whole process, from start to finish.

“I liked watching the caterpillars change into butterflies, and I liked releasing the butterflies,” Kenzi said.

Student Brock Shane said there’s something dif-ferent to see most every day.

“Today we got to see a caterpillar wiggle out of its skin and change into a chrysalis,” Brock said. “It was awesome!”

Bitting started prepar-ing for this year’s Mon-arch project about a week before school started by driving around the coun-tryside looking for healthy milkweed plants. Find-

ing healthy milkweed is more difficult nowadays because of pesticides and insecticides and the mow-ing of ditches, Bitting said.

When she finds healthy milkweed, she looks for caterpillars or Monarch butterfly eggs on the plant. She collects the caterpillars and eggs, along with the needed milkweed leaves or stalks, and takes them to her classroom where she places them in an aquari-um. The milkweed has to be replenished every day, so she’s out scouring the countryside for milkweed every day.

The aquarium is ready when the students come to school. It takes a couple weeks for the caterpillar to become fully grown and form a chrysalis. Using a quilter’s pin and the thread formed by the caterpillar, she removes the chrysalis from the aquarium and sticks it to the bulletin board so the kids can watch it. In about 7-12 days, the chrysalis becomes translucent, and the students can see the orange and black of the forming butterfly. One day, her students were able to see three butterflies come, which was awesome for the children, Bitting said.

With 20 butterflies already released by her class, Bitting said this has been an exciting year to do the project. In other years she has only about 10 but-terflies for the entire proj-ect, but this year there are still about 10 more butter-flies to go. It’s been a great year for butterflies, and a great year for her class, the teacher said.

PEORIA — On Fri-day, the “Pinta” and the “Nina,” replicas of Colum-bus’ ships, will open in Peoria. The ships will be docked at The Land-ing, next to the Spirit of Peoria, 2-14 Main Street until their departure early Monday morning Sept. 22.

The Nina was built completely by hand and without the use of power

tools. Archaeology maga-zine called the ship “the most historically cor-rect Columbus replica ever built.” The Pinta was recently built in Brazil to accompany the Nina on all of her travels. She is a larger version of the archetypal caravel. Histo-rians consider the caravel the Space Shuttle of the 15th Century.

Both ships tour together as a new and enhanced “sailing museum” for the purpose of educating the public and school chil-dren on the “caravel,” a Portuguese ship used by Columbus and many early explorers to discover the world.

While in port, the gen-eral public is invited to visit the ships for a walk-

aboard, self-guided tour. Admission charges are $8 for adults, $ 7 for seniors, and $6 for students 5-16. Children 4 and under are free. The ships are open every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. No reservations are necessary.

Teachers or organiza-tions wishing to sched-ule a 30-minute guided tour with a crew member

should 787-672-2152 or email [email protected]. There should be a minimum of 15 for a group. The fee is $5 per person. There is no Maxi-mum. Visit the website at www.thenina.com.

The ships arrive on Thursday, and there will be a private viewing of the ships for the media after docking.

Benefit will help family of 4-month-old

Cohen Desiderio

By Donna [email protected]

PRINCETON — The Bureau County commu-nity has the opportunity to help with the finan-cial medical needs for the 4-month-old baby of former Princeton resident Abby Taylor.

The daughter of local residents Bret and Penny Taylor and Ginger and Kurt Freeberg, Taylor and Matthew Desiderio of Chicago became parents of a son, Cohen Desid-erio, on June 2. Cohen was born with congenital hydrocephalus (CSF), a life-long condition which has already required two surgeries. In two weeks, Cohen will be taken to Duke University Hospital in Durham, N.C. where he is scheduled to receive a cord blood infusion.

A “Tip-A-Star for Cohen’s Journey” benefit is planned for Monday, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., at Alexander Park Tav-ern, 815 Park Avenue West in Princeton. The benefit will include tip-board raffles of cash, Park Tavern apparel and auto-graphed items by pro-fessional athletes Bobby Hull and Gale Sayers.

Also, celebrity actor Scott Schwartz and celebrity athletes Milt Pappas and Juan Hernandez will be in attendance to autograph whatever anyone might want signed. Hernandez and Pappas are personal friends with the Desiderio family and volunteered to attend Monday’s benefit.

On Tuesday, Ginger Freeberg talked about her grandson Cohen’s jour-ney and what lies ahead for him.

Explaining his condi-tion, Freeberg said CSF is an incurable condi-tion in which there is an accumulation of cerebral spinal fluid in the brain’s ventricles, causing them to enlarge and put severe pressure on the brain. In Cohen’s case, he suffers

from aqueduct stenosis, a narrowing of the aque-duct of Sylvius, which blocks the flow of CSF in the ventricular sys-tem. The condition was diagnosed at her daugh-ter’s 24-week ultrasound, at which time she was referred to a high-risk obstetrician and neuro-surgeon at University of Chicago Hospitals, Free-berg said.

Her grandson’s first surgery was an Endoscop-ic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV), which in simple terms is when the doc-tor uses a small camera (endoscope) and makes a bypass in the third ven-tricle, allowing the fluid to pass, Freeberg said. The doctor also placed a small catheter in her

grandson’s ventricle in order to make it easier to withdrawal fluid for tests or if the ETV failed. The second surgery was to correct a complication from the first.

Looking ahead to the upcoming cord blood infusion, Freeberg said there are millions of stem cells in the cord blood that are thought to help restore dam-aged brain cells caused by the pressure of excess CSF. Depending on the amount of cord blood that was saved at birth, doctors can do two-to-three infusions. Usually children will go for a sec-ond infusion after a year, depending on their devel-opment, she said.

As far other surgeries for Cohen in the future, Free-berg said that’s complete-ly unpredictable. Howev-er, the shunt he current has is only temporary and is usually removed after a few months. So there will definitely be at least one more surgery, which will hopefully be his last, she said.

The funds raised from Monday’s benefit at the Alexander Park Tavern will help Cohen’s parents with the cost of the cord blood infusion, a medical helmet, therapy and other ongoing medical expens-es. The community’s sup-port is very much appre-ciated, Freeberg said.

Richard was also a 1932 Princeton Grad.

This is the 27th year for the Great Medallion Hunt. As in the past, the lucky individual(s) find-ing Heartland Bank’s Great Medallion will win $1,000 in Princeton Chamber gift certificates. In addition to the medal-lion, several other sur-prises have been hidden throughout the city to reward hunters for their efforts.

Hunters will need to decipher the clues to find the hidden Medal-lion. The Medallion is approximately 3 1/2 inches in diameter, 1/8-inch thick and has the

Heartland Bank logo on it. It will be hidden on public property within the city limit of Princeton and in a location that will not pose any danger to searchers. Nothing needs to be broken into, dug up or torn apart to find it. The Medallion is not hidden at City-County Park, the Bureau County Fairgrounds or at any of the local cemeteries. If you find the Medallion, call the phone number that will be attached to it. When the Medallion is found, announcements will be made on WZOE and posted to the web-site at www.wzoe.com as well as the Bureau Coun-ty Republican’s website, www.bcrnews.com, as soon as its discovery has been confirmed.

Heartland Bank’s Great Medallion Hunt Committee will release clues to the Bureau County Republican and WZOE every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The goal of the Heart-land Bank Great Medal-lion Hunt is to provide everyone the opportu-nity to get caught up in the spirit of the annu-al Homestead Festival and get it off to a great start. Heartland Bank’s Great Medallion Hunt is open to everyone except families associated with Heartland Bank and Trust Co.

Attacker released from jail days before killingMan was charged with punching his

psychiatrist

By Christi WarrenShaw Media Service

DIXON – Just nine days before a 27 year old killed his grandmother and then himself at their rural Dixon home, he was arrested for punching a KSB Hospital psychiatrist in the face, repeatedly, according to court documents.

Theodore “Ted” Howard was charged Aug. 24 with misdemeanor battery and released the next day on a $3,000 bond, paid for by his mother.

Lee County State’s Attor-ney Anna Sacco-Miller wouldn’t disclose what had sparked a June 26 fight that led to the charge, but said Howard “wasn’t happy with something that (the psychiatrist) had told him.”

Howard was living in the home at 1612 Joliet Way with his grandmother, Josephine “Jo” Howard,

and other family members, when she was killed Tues-day.

Wednesday would have been her 72nd birthday.

Her daughter, Shirley Bender, 51, said Wednes-day that her son – who had a history of mental ill-

ness and was on a vari-ety of medications – “just snapped.

“The doctors keep changing his meds,” she said.

Sheriff’s deputies arrived at the home in Woodland Shores about 2:40 p.m.

Tuesday after receiving a 911 call about a man in the front yard holding a knife.

When they arrived, Ted Howard was found cov-ered in blood. Authorities took the knife from him before he was taken to KSB Hospital, where he died of self-inflicted stab wounds.

Deputies found the body of Jo Howard inside the home; she had been stabbed repeatedly.

They were the only two people at home at the time, State’s Attorney Sacco-Miller said.

Bender said her moth-

er had been sitting at the computer when she was attacked, and that there was no sign of a struggle.

Sacco-Miller disagreed. She said investigators think there was a fight because items in the home were broken.

Ted Howard was found guilty in Lee County of pos-session of drug parapher-nalia in 2012 and of theft in 2006. According to his Facebook page, he went to high school in Sacramen-to, Calif., and was a fan of

““The doctors keep changing his meds.”

Debbie Lindberg, activity coordinator, can name a long list of activities she’s worked to provide for the seniors — anything from tai chi exercising to Bible stud-ies to discussion groups, knitting, card playing, bingo and much more help satisfy the wide array of interests.

The seniors also take weekly shopping trips and experience out-of-town adventures, such as seeing a play or going to a ball game.

“Whatever we do, there is always a happy and friendly atmosphere,” Lindberg said. “There’s always a different group at different activities, and you can see they are there for the enjoyment of friendship and com-panionship.”

A popular event BCSC stresses to the commu-nity is it provides a noon lunch Monday through Friday to anyone inter-ested. The center asks that those interested call the day before by 10 a.m. to reserve a spot.

Nancy Carper serves as the outreach and community educator for the senior center. As outreach coordina-tor, she goes into homes and check on the senior citizens, making sure they are OK and don’t need anything. As com-

munity educator, her job is to educate the many seniors in Bureau County as to the servic-es and activities which the senior center has to offer, Carper said. As part of that, she often speak at meetings of area townships, villages and organizations.

“When I see a success story, I feel blessed when they (seniors) say thank-

you and that I have helped them because they didn’t know where to turn,” Carper said. “Comments like that makes it all worthwhile for me. Sometimes they will call me because they have something great to tell, and they don’t have anyone else to tell. I’ve made some new best friends through my job.”

Cindy Varland, head

of transportation, is the woman seniors call to schedule a ride to a needed destination. The center provides trans-portation to pretty much anywhere one needs to get to.

“I’ve had people call for trips to the hairdress-er, to doctor appoint-ments in Peru, to a ride to Midway Airport, shop-ping in Peoria …We go

just about anywhere they want to go,” Varland said.

Karen Huskey, infor-mation and assistant specialist, is the person to see when a senior citi-zen has a question on things like insurance, Medicare, a medical bill, benefit access programs and more.

“Most of it is informa-tion on things people most likely don’t under-stand. They bring it to my office, and we sit down and get it figured out,” Huskey said. “It’s like a great, big puzzle, and I love the challenge.”

The BCSC provides services to anyone age 60 and over or who are disabled. All services are provided by donation only, and no one is ever denied a service because they can’t make a dona-tion, Ihrig said.

About 40 percent of BCSC’s funding is through Area Agencies on Aging, and the rest is by fundraisers and dona-tions. The center is also a Bureau County United Way recipient.

“We appreciate anyone who makes a donation or gives to the BCSC,” Ihrig said. “We’ve been here since 1981 and plan on being here for many more years to come.”

The BCSC is located in the basement of the Clark House at 16 W. Marion St. in Princeton.

metal bands, wrestling and TV shows like “South Park” and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”

His grandmother ran a business called Jo’s Sea Blooms; she made home decor items, such as floral wall decor and sailors valen-tines, out of seashells. The last post to the business’s Facebook page is from June 2013, but just before then, she wrote about her love for the art.

“I grew up on the West Coast (and) spent a lot of time on the beaches of Ore-gon,” she wrote. “Couldn’t get enough sea shells. Spent a lot of time daydreaming of owning those pretty shells I saw in gifts shops. In 1971, I got my chance, my hus-band was sent to Okinawa. With five kids and husband in tow, we spent every spare moment looking for shells. I have a nice collection, and I add to it for my kids. Beside identifying and classifying, I wanted to do more with them.”

That’s when she started using the shells to make flo-ral designs.

Her and her grandson’s deaths are being investigat-ed by the sheriff’s depart-ment and Illinois State Police Crime Scene Inves-tigators.

Woodland Shores is six miles west of Dixon off Rock Island Road.

Joan EckhardtPRINCETON — Joan Eckhardt passed away Thursday

morning, Sept. 4, 2014, at OSF Richard L. Owens Hospice Home in Peoria.

Joan was born June 20, 1925, in Duncan Township, Mercer County, to Hilmer and Geraldine (Shoppa) Swanson. She graduated from New Boston High School in 1943. On May 21, 1943, she married Elmer G. Eckhardt in Edgington. After moving to Princeton, Joan went to work for Hoffman’s Jewelry Store, where she was a sales clerk for 35 years before retiring.

Joan was active in the community her whole life. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church since first coming to Princ-eton. She was also a member of the Eastern Star. Joan was both a Brownie and then Girl Scout leader for some eight-plus years. She always loved her gardening and was an avid reader even after her eyesight diminished.

Joan is survived by her daughters, Yvonne Browning of Princeton and Sherry (Don) Gross of Tucson, Ariz.; two grandsons, Michael (Stacey) McShane of Jackson-ville, Fla., and Kevin McShane of Phoenix, Ariz.; and four great-grandchildren, Thomas McShane, Benjamin McShane, Matthew McShane and Matlyn McShane. Also surviving is her brother, Neil Swanson of Milan, and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her hus-band, Elmer, in 1998.

BBB issues ‘Granny Scam’ advisoryCHICAGO — Many scams and schemes run by con

artists are cyclical in that they come and go. Some-times it’s every few months, or following a natural disaster or at a particular time of the year.

One of those that fall into a cycle is the “Granny Scam,” and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) is advising the public to look for red flags.

With students leaving home and returning to col-lege, the opportunity is ripe for scammers to begin making calls that target grandparents.

“As we know the best defense is a good offense,” said Steve J. Bernas, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illi-nois. “We want to arm grandparents with informa-tion that can help prevent them and their families from falling victim to this scam.”

In this scam, the grandparent receives a distressed phone call from someone who they believe is their grandchild.

For example, the scam caller might say, “It’s me, your favorite grandchild,” to which the grandpar-ent will guess the name of the grandchild the caller sounds the most like, and then the call proceeds from there.

The supposed grandchild typically explains they are traveling and have been arrested or involved in an auto accident.

Sometime they say they’ve been injured and need medical treatment. The grandparent is asked to wire money to post bail or pay for damages or treatment, usually amounting to a few thousand dollars.

While senior citizens are being targeted, law enforcement officials believe the scammers are most likely calling random numbers.

“The key here is that senior citizens are more than likely to be home during the day to take the phone call,” noted Bernas.

What to do if you receive a “Granny Scam” call:• Remain calm: Despite the emergency nature of

the call, try to verify the identity of the caller. Don’t get caught up in the urgency which can lead to mak-ing emotional rather than logical decisions.

• Make direct contact: Confirm the status of the individual by calling them directly or verifying the story with other family members before taking action.

• Wire transfers: Any request to wire money through Western Union or MoneyGram should be seen as a “red flag” and an immediate tip-off that the call may be part of a scam.

• Report the call: If you have been victimized by this type of distressed loved-one call, immediately contact your local police department and the Illinois Attorney General’s office.

TherapeuticMassage

This column is often filled with little snapshots from my past. Growing up on a Bureau County farm with all the trials, tribulations, comforts and opportunities farm life had to offer clearly affected me in many ways. My memory takes me down many dusty, gravel roads, which I share with you — sometimes, it’s more therapy for me than enjoyable reading for you, I’m sure. I try to produce a column every week; for some reason, I kind of feel like I’m letting you down if I don’t.

And so it was Thursday morning when the need to pen this column was upon me. I had been thinking about it since Monday, but nothing was causing the creative juices to really flow. In other words, I didn’t have a clue what I should write about. Believe me, it’s not the first time it’s happened, but quite frankly, I needed to get this column out of the way; I had a host of other obligations that really needed my attention. The minutes ticked by ... still nothing. I was just about ready to kick the column to the curb this week, when my phone rang. I picked it up to hear our front office lady tell me someone was waiting to see to me.

When I went up front, I saw a familiar face. I’ve known the fellow for years, but I never had any lengthy or meaningful conversations with him. Nice guy. That’s all I really knew. His first statement/question to me kind of caught me off guard ...

“Do you know what the yellow ribbon stands for?” he asked.

Right away the song, “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree,” came to mind, and then I muttered something about soldiers coming home and yellow ribbons tied around trees.

“Everybody knows what the pink ribbon stands for, but the yellow ribbon stands for childhood cancer,” he said to me. “And September is Child-hood Cancer Awareness Month.”

Wow! This one took me by surprise! I invited him to sit, and the two of us talked for a bit. His family has a personal experience with a child with leukemia, and of course, most of you know I am a cancer survivor. We talked. We listened. We learned. At one point throughout the conver-sation, we both had tears in our eyes, our chins trembling just a bit and our eyes brimming with those tears you try so hard to not let fall.

Kids with cancer. I know what I went through, and the idea of a child having to undergo any-thing even close to that ... well, it absolutely breaks my heart. I can’t imagine what must go through their youthful minds, especially while their healthy friends live a happy-go-lucky life with no knowledge of words like oncologist, St. Jude’s, morphine, etc.

I guess it’s fairly common to say that when we think about cancer, we think about adults. But the facts about childhood cancer are alarming. According to a bit of research I did after my con-versation, nearly 50 children are diagnosed with cancer every day in the United States, with leu-kemia and brain tumors being the most frequent diagnosis. In children, cancer is the leading cause of death, and in fact, it is responsible for more deaths than all other deaths combined. More than 40,000 children are in cancer treatment every year, and one in eight of those children will not survive. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg ...

The gentleman I spoke with asked if the BCR could do a story about September being Child-hood Cancer Awareness Month, and without hesitation, I said yes. Please watch for that story in an upcoming edition of this newspaper.

More importantly, though, when it’s time to dig down deep and make your donations for the year, I urge you to consider St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital — a phenomenal place that is working tirelessly to eradicate this awful disease from children’s lives.

No child should have to say the word ... cancer.

A change of plansSo ends the 20-year experiment.

By the time that you read this, I will no longer be working for the Bureau County Republican. As they say, all good things must come to an end.

When I was just about to turn 28, I was working in my hometown at a local construction business that builds prefabricated housing. At the time, I was in the part of the plant that cut the pieces used for flooring support. Basically, I was just a help-er guy that spent most of his time doing what real carpenters told me to do and trying not to cut off too many body parts.

Being an art/illustration major in college, this was not part of the plan. According to my college instructors, by that time in my life, I was supposed to be in a big city somewhere painting covers for magazines like Norman Rockwell or drawing comic strips like Charles Schulz. Unfortunately, big cities make me twitchy. Sometimes plans don’t work out.

I spent most of my free time, which usually occurred from 10:30 at night until 2 in the morning, doodling on a drawing board down in the basement. I would work on various art projects that people asked me to do, painted signs and even developed an idea for a comic strip that I would send out to all the newspaper syndicates periodically. I have a collection of the nicest rejection letters you’ve ever seen. I had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that my career was going to involve hammers and nails. This was my new plan.

In January of 1994, I just hap-pened to notice a job opening at the Bureau County Republican in their job printing shop. Knowing next to nothing about the print process, I put in my application. For some strange reason, they hired me. My first day on the job was Feb. 1. I

really thought that they were smart-er than that.

I came up with a new plan. Now that I had my foot in the door at a print publication, I told my wife that if I hung around the edito-rial department long enough, and showed them my delightful little drawings and exposed them to my innate humor and wit, before long, they would have to accept me into their fold, take me as one of their own. After that they would pay me to create artwork and draw my silly little cartoons. Yep, that’s what I told her.

Five and a half years later, I was right.

When I moved from the press room to the editorial department, I had the joy of learning what a computer was. I also got to learn font styles and point sizes and kern-ing and leading. I learned the dif-ference between RGB and CMYK color modes. I got acquainted with Quark, Photoshop and Illustrator. The command Apple “S” became my best friend. I even started writ-ing this silly little column. I suppose that I could tell you that I learned to type the proper way but that would be a lie. After 15 years at a keyboard, I couldn’t tell you what makes up the “home row.” It drives my wife crazy. She teaches key-boarding.

I also learned that it’s hard to be a political cartoonist when you feel totally apathetic toward anything political. To this day, I have no clue if I’m a Democrat or Republican. I cover my bases by just not trusting any of them.

Over the years, I’ve experienced some success and learned some

new things. I’ve won some awards, had my cartoons subpoenaed, had a couple of interviews on a local television station, and that comic strip that I had all but given up on years earlier, won a contest and got me a deal with Universal Press Syndicate. Wow, what do you know, in the end, my plan actually worked out.

On Monday, I’m going into busi-ness with a lifelong friend of mine. He has an established cabinet-mak-ing and woodworking business. I’ve been bugging him for a couple of years about how much fun it would be if we pooled his talent with … well … whatever it is that I have to offer. I guess that he got tired of hearing it because he recently took me up on the whole idea. I really thought he was smarter than that.

When I told my wife of his offer, I fully expected to be shot down before I got it out of my mouth. Instead, she smiled and told me that if I didn’t try this, I’d regret it forever. I really thought that she was smarter than that.

Here’s our detailed business plan. I’m going to help him do stuff and try not to cut off too many body parts. With any luck, hopefully any creativity that I might still possess will surface at some point. We’ll be dabbling in sign work, some air-brushing, even some artsy-fartsy retail items that we’ll be looking to sell. Well, at least that’s the plan anyway. Hopefully that will be a story for another day.

I feel like I should say something smart right now, so here are my parting words of wisdom: You’ll kick yourself the rest of your life for the things you never try. If you screw up, your wife gets to do the kicking.

See you in the funny papers. Maybe.

Widmark fights forest

fires, cowardice

chargePRINCETON – The

next Widmark Wednes-day movie features Princeton’s own Richard Widmark as the leader of smokejumping West-ern firefighters who finds himself battling not only flames but a charge of cowardice.

The film begins at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Princeton Public Library. Admission is free.

In the 1952 adventure drama, Widmark’s char-acter survives a forest fire flareup that kills some of his men. He resumes work, even though other smokejumpers now doubt his leadership. Leave it to Hollywood to settle the issue amid a climactic forest fire, filmed in Technicolor.

Co-starring are Con-stance Smith, Jeffrey Hunter, Richard Boone, and Warren Stevens.

Widmark, a 1932 graduate of Princeton High School, acted in more than 70 movies from 1947 until 1991. He would have turned 100 years old this year.

Widmark T-shirts will be available for sale at the movie.

IVSO concert season begins Sept. 21LASALLE — Under

Volleyball: Erie defeats Princeton 25-16, 25-18

Tigresses make strides vs. ErieBy Kevin Hieronymus

[email protected]

PRINCETON — The longer the match went, the better the Princeton Tigresses looked against visiting Erie in a Three Rivers Conference cross-over match Thursday at Prouty Gym.

They played the Cardinals, the 2013 co-champions in the former Three Rivers North division, to a 25-16 score in the first set and 25-18 in the second, staying closer in the game longer than they did the first.

It’s a trend coach Andy Puck hopes to continue as the Tigresses (0-3) take their early-season baby steps.

“The more reps we get, the bet-ter we will improve,” he said. “I’m looking forward to Saturday’s tour-nament at Rock Falls to improve on team chemistry.”

While Erie jumped to a 6-0 lead in the second set, the Tigresses fought back. A Madison Menzel kill made it 6-3, a net serve by Erie made it 12-10 and an Anna Murray kill made it 12-11. The Tigresses committed a service error, but scored two straight to tie things up at 13.

Erie ripped off five straight points, including an ace to go up 18-13. A kill shot by Anna Murray stopped the bleeding and Hailey Schultz

snuck another kill just inside the pylon to make it 20-15.

Sierra Storm served up an ace to make it 24-18, but in the end the Tigresses couldn’t overcome two violations on serve receive, falling 25-18.

Freshman Anna Murray led the Tigresses with six kills, Schultz had five kills and senior Abby Jaques added three kills. Sophomore set-ter Sarah Murray had 16 assists and a team-high five points and senior libero Keyenna Altizer had eight digs.

Red Devils stands up EP for win

on the roadBy Cody Cutter

Shaw Media Service

ERIE — Dylan Bin-ion thought for sure he was in.

The Erie-Proph-etstown junior run-ning back had just let loose up the middle for a 60 yard touch-down run to get his team to within one point of the Hall Red Devils’ with 5:32 left in the game.

“There was a cutback, and I just took it,” Binion said.

But when Pan-ther coach Chuck Milem called for the two-point con-version, Binion was more than happy to take on the task.

Receiving the handoff up the middle from quar-terback Phillip Coers, Bin-ion met a host of Red Devil defenders right at the line. After being tackled, Binion through for sure he was across to give his team a one-point lead.

Instead, Hall’s defensive corps stuffed Binion just short of the goal. The stop proved crucial to the Red Devils as they improved to 2-0 on the season with a 21-20 win at Wayne Hein Field in Erie.

“We thought we had it,” Binion said. “I guess not.

There’s nothing we could do about it. I thought I saw myself go over. Maybe it

was the adrenaline going through me.”

The stop was one of many critical ones for the Red Devil defense, one that took advantage of three fumble recov-

eries and net six total turnovers.

“Our defense came up big,” Hall coach Randy Tie-man said. “They made the big stop on the two-point conversion and shut (Binion) down in the first half. He busted on us in the second half. We’re play-

ing a lot of kids both ways out there and our kids get tired. But they’ve been able to hang in there.”

With 2:39 left in the first quarter, and Hall lead-ing 7-6, Chris Ballerini recovered a drop from the Panthers’ Jordan Chan-dler at the Panther 6-yard line. Two plays later, Jake Merkel went for his sec-ond touchdown of the day - adding to the game’s opening score on a 2-yard push-through.

Andrew Kerr added another score for the Red Devils with 9:22 remaining in the second quarter. The

Bruins pass up StormBy dan [email protected]

MANLIUS — A quick 16-0 start for the Bureau Valley Storm wouldn’t be enough to hold on for the vic-tory against their rivals from St. Bede Academy as the Bruins’ offense exploded for 40 second half points enroute to a 56-30 victory Friday in Manlius

The Bruins were led by senior quar-terback Jack Brady, who tossed five touchdown passes on the night and senior back Justin Shaw who added three touch-downs on the ground.

Brady threw for 291 yards on 24-36 passing.

“Jack did a great job, the receivers caught the ball obviously but I think our

offensive line gave him some time and we weren’t doing that early. We weren’t cre-ating any holes. I think we were able to mix it up and get back in it,” St. Bede coach John Bellino said.

BV (0-2) quickly grabbed a 16-0 lead on two touchdown

receptions by senior wide-out Parker Neu-halfen from freshman quarterback Drake Davis, including an 81-yard bomb that Neuhalfen set-tled under and outraced

the defense for the final 35 yards.

The Storm kept the Bru-ins off the board until 1:35 left in the second quarter when senior quarterback Jack Brady connected to senior receiver Sam Halm for a 12-yard touchdown grab.

A huge hit on Neuhal-

fen by SBA senior Justin Shaw with 1:00 to play in the half resulted in a fum-ble recovery by the Bruins that seemed to ignite the entire team, particularly the offense.

“After last week, it was a must win for team morale.

PRINCETON — Sophia Suarez had a round of golf for the record books at Cha-pel Hill Golf Course Wednesday.

The Princeton High School senior broke the school record with an even par 36 to take medalist honors. Audra Reidner chipped in with a 47, Arraia Hicks a 51

and Sarah Crowe a 55 as PHS posted the best score in coach Will Gross’ four-year tenure (189) to easily defeat Rockridge (202) by 13 strokes.

Suarez’s record round included an Eagle 2 on No. 15 and a birdie 3 on No. 18. She also had an eight-foot par putt on No. 14 and a six-foot bogey putt on No. 17 that Gross said allowed Suarez to

avoid any letdowns.“Sophia had a golfer’s dream night,”

Gross said. “She played with so much confidence and determination that it was truly a spectacular sight to see the game played as near perfect as it can be played and the way it should be played. I was overjoyed seeing her continue to carry herself in a manner that I expect from a senior captain.

“As a coach I am tough on the girls in particular to improve their game in cer-tain areas, and it was great to see her hard work, discipline and enthusiasm come together and allow her to shine in the spotlight.”

Also for Princeton, Jaimee Ciesielski had a 60 and Brooke Hieronymus a 63. For DePue, Mercedes Ruiz had a 58 and Dakota Mitchell a 69.

At Morrison: Princeton’s hand of two pairs including 41s by Colby Robbins and Ian Nichols and 42s by Miles Rose and Colin Pierson were just enough for the Tigers (166) Thursday at Morrison, defeating the host Mustangs and Rock-ridge by two strokes. Colton Erven added a 49 and Josh Eggers a 54.

Trevor Bickett (51) and Bryce Nyman (54) were low scorers for the PHS JV (219), which took third.

At Deer Valley: Hall’s Ryan Ott shot a medalist 40 to lead the Red Devils past Prophetstown (193) and Bureau Valley (231). Thursday.

Other Hall scores were Aaron Mitchell 43, Matt Hoscheid 48 and Dominic Mar-enda 50.

Tim Stevens said. “Over-all, it was a good day because all players saw time and we got a better understanding of who we can lean on in the future.”

Alleman 3, Princeton 1: Tiger coach David Gray was ready to walk away from this match the moment it was over in what he viewed a lack-luster effort Thurs-day at Tiskilwa.

“Not much went right,” he said. “We looked flat from the start. Low energy. Showed a little life in the second half, however the overall performance was disappointing. It was a night to forget. We look forward to our next match to put this one behind us.”

Tanner Kuhne had

the lone Tiger goal in the 62nd minute on a penalty kick. Alleman answered at the 76th minute to cap the scor-ing.

PHS outshot their guests 16-12 with keep-

er Isaac Salazar making nine saves on goal.

BCR photo/Dan DwyerSt. Bede’s Justin Shaw puts a hit on Bureau Valley’s Blake Balensiefen.Panthers’ score occurred

on a 54-yard breakaway through the middle with 7:52 left in the first quarter.

The Panthers’ only pass attempt was good for a score, as Coers threw to Binion on the right corner with 9:21 to go in the third to get within a score.

After Binion’s scoring run, the Panther defense forced the Red Devils to punt for the first time in the game. But the ensu-ing drive was stopped on four plays with a stop by Josh Nelson on Chandler on fourth down.

With 35.7 left in the

game, the Panthers (1-1) took to the air, but an interception by Merkel at the Panther 30 sealed the game.

“I was playing the flat and all of a sudden looked over and started going that was as I saw the ball in the air,” Merkel said.

Chris Hammonds led Hall’s rushing corps with 76 yards on 16 carries. Merkel had 14 carries tal-lying 48 yards.

“I think we’re going to be real focused right now and the momentum is going to help us get through the season,” Merkel said. “We’ll be pumped up and ready to go.”

Amboy 21, Sherrard 6

Tigers unable to keep up with JonesBy Brian Weidman

Shaw Media Service

AMBOY – Try as they might, the Sherrard Tigers were unable to keep up with Jones.

Amboy senior running back Chris Jones rushed 31 times for 110 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Clippers to a 21-6 victory on Friday in a Big Rivers crossover game at the Harbor.

Jones’ longest run was just 14 yards, but the 5-foot-7, 170-pound-er bulled or burrowed his way for positive yardage on all but two of his carries. He was quick to credit the offensive line for paving the way.

“Everybody had to work hard to get to where we were tonight,” Jones said. “If my line didn’t block,

I never would have never had the chance to get that many yards.”

Jones was far from a one-man show. Fullback Dallas Apple-man churned out 84 yards on 14 attempts, while quarterback Liam Ohlendorf added 58 yards on nine carries. The Clippers (2-0) finished with 324 yards on 63 carries.

As effective as the Amboy ground game was, its defense was at least, if not more, spectacular

Sherrard (1-1) managed just 124 yards of offense until late in the fourth quarter, when quar-terback Ben Swanson hooked up with wideout Blake Lampo for an 80-yard score against Clipper reserves.

Swanson completed 9 of 26 pass-es for 174 yards, with one TD and one interception. The Tigers ran

for just 30 yards.“We had some receivers open

that were dropping balls,” Sher-rard coach Brian Adams said, “but Amboy played very well defensive-ly. They took it to us in our run game and kind of made us one-dimensional. In most offenses, you can’t rely on one dimension to win games.”

A solid defensive effort, com-bined with the ability to run the ball, had Amboy coach Gary Jones smiling after the game.

“That’s pretty much Amboy football,” Jones said. “We run the ball, run traps, run the option, and throw a couple of passes here or there. If we can run the ball, and play decent defense, we’ll be all right.”

We always go down to the wire with these guys like last year and it was close this year. Justin’s big hit really changed it (the momentum of the game).” Halm said.

With 12.8 to play in the half Brady threw his second touchdown of the evening to soph Braidy Shipp who was streaking through the heart of the BV defense.

Each team traded touchdowns over the third quarter making the score 30-30 on Neuhalfen’s fourth touchdown of the night an 80-yard kickoff return with 5:44 to play in the third.

The Bruins would kick their offense into high gear for the rest of the contest as BV’s secondary started to show signs of fatigue.

“The defense stepped up in the second half and end of the second quarter. Momentum is huge we

were in an away game right now, they had the momentum in the first half until the end.” Brady said.

Shaw had touchdown runs of 1-yard, 1-yard and 15-yards while adding a fourth receiving touch-down on a jump ball in the end zone for 15-yards.

Brady had touchdown tosses of 12, 8, 15, 12 and a 28-yard beauty that he dropped in over the shoul-der of his favorite target Halm.

Halm caught two of Bradys 5-touchdown tosses.

“It was a hard hitting game and attrition is going to take over after a while. They had guys cramp-ing and we were getting tired. I thought the kids played extremely hard again tonight we’re out there busting our but trying to make plays. We’ll come back next week and do our best.” BV coach Spen-cer Davis said.

• Notes: Josh Sapp threw for two touchdown passes and two con-versions, connecting on the game-winner with 1:10 left to play as St.

Bede rallied to win the sophomore prelim 16-14. Bryan Herr scored both touchdowns for the Storm.

&Fair in the Square

Labels are important – not just for clothing – but also for music, electronic gear and literature. Labels also are import for the food and agriculture industries. Over the past 20 years, con-sumer spending on organic products has grown from $1 billion a year to almost $30 billion. So it is safe to assume the organic label is important to many con-sumers.

The challenge is to define what the organic label actually tells us. For exam-ple with my favorite food, Planter’s Chunky Peanut Butter, I know exactly what I am getting because, in this case, the brand (Plant-er’s Chunky Peanut Butter) is the label.

When I purchase an unbranded product such as carrots or arugula, which claims to be organic, it is not real clear what I am getting. Is it really organic? We may have an idea what is organic, but that idea, to be useful, should be spe-

cific and identical across all products, not just the one I am purchasing. For example, Chinese Organic Wild Caught Salmon has all of the right words, but is it really organic?

In an attempt to bring consistency to the defini-tion of organic, the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture (USDA) stepped up to figure it out. It defines organic as “A labeling term that refers to an agricul-tural product produced in accordance with the Act and the regulations in this part,” and then proceeds to define the production pro-cesses that result in a prod-uct than can be labeled “Certified Organic.”

USDA does not have experts trudging around kale fields in Illinois, or in

China, to monitor the pro-duction process. It sets the rules and then out-sources the monitoring to a third party. If the third party says all of the regulations estab-lished by USDA for organic production have been met by the producer, then the USDA organic label may be used.

Western Illinois Uni-versity’s Allison Farm is certified by USDA as an organic farm that may label its products as “Certi-fied Organic.” The Allison Farm’s organic crops, including blue corn, pop-corn and fava beans, may be sold as organic and form the basis for USDA labels “100% Organic,” “Organic” or “Made with Organic Ingredients.”

In addition to Western’s Allison Farm, there are other food chain partici-pants in Illinois recognized by USDA as “Certified Organic Operations.” Among those participants is a company selling organ-

ic vodka; another company selling organic dog treats. My personal favorite, as a real coffee quaffer, is a company near St. Louis that is selling USDA certi-fied organic coffee. And there also is a Chicago company that is USDA certified organic for its cos-metics.

It seems a little ironic that, in order to label a product as organic, USDA had to write a complex set of rules and regulations farmers and processors must follow. But the rules and regulations are written without inorganic input, so the entire regulatory pro-cess could be viewed, by some, as entirely organic.

Professor William Bailey formerly was the chief econ-omist for the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Food and Nutrition. He also has served as Deputy-Under Secretary of Agriculture. He is now affiliated with the Western Illinois University’s School of Agriculture.

Trust me; it’s organic Working Farm Show is Sept. 12-14

Illinois State Fair 4-H results

GENESEO — With tech-nology propelling all aspects of our lives at breakneck speeds, do you ever long for things to slow down a bit? Well, the Antique Engine and Tractor Association (AETA) has the perfect app for you.

Each year, the associa-tion and its members haul out hundreds of old-time engines and harvesting equipment for its annual three-day Working Farm Show near Geneseo, in Henry County. The 53rd annual show will be held Sept. 12–14 and features lesser-known tractors and implements. The show is growing, and this year will include more than 400 tractors, hundreds of gas engines, several garden trac-tors and other agricultural memorabilia.

The Working Farm Show is different from most other farm shows. Much of the machinery on display is actually put to use plowing fields and harvesting corn and soybeans with mid-19th Century equipment. Mem-bers thresh wheat and oats, run a sawmill, and demon-strate gas engines from the early to mid-1900s.

Kids can play in the giant corn pile, and all ages are invited to the one-and-a-half acre plot to hand-pick Indian corn, popcorn or to dig a potato or two south of the timber frame barn.

The centerpiece of the association’s show grounds is a massive timber frame barn, the product of a 10-day barn-raising effort in 2009. It’s a classic 19th Cen-tury Midwestern barn using post and beam construction techniques developed in Europe thousands of years ago and used in this country through the 1920s. Built with 19,500 board feet of Illinois-harvested white oak, it mea-

sures 48-feet wide by 70-feet long with 16-foot sidewalls.

Visit the blacksmith shop and watch iron work being crafted. Stop at the newly-restored mercantile to view the group’s historical arti-facts. Venture over to the newly-renovated craft barn which showcases and dem-onstrates the art of weaving, quilting and wood turning. A variety of crafts and home-baked goods will be avail-able for purchase. Ques-tions are encouraged by all demonstrators who will gladly share their knowledge with you.

Visit Friday, Sept. 12 to see Max Armstrong, the voice of American agriculture, one of the most widely-recog-nized and highly-regarded agricultural journalists in America, tape his weekly show from the AETA show grounds. Be sure to plan ahead for another special event at the show next year: The Rumely Products Col-lectors National Expo. Enjoy several Rumely tractors and equipment plus a Rumely Oil Pull display at the 2015 AETA show on Sept. 18-20.

AETA promotes the col-lection, restoration, preser-vation and exhibition of gas-oline and oil engines, plus gasoline and steam tractors, power-driven farm machin-ery, and other equipment of historical value. The Work-ing Farm Show is located eight miles north of Geneseo on Route 92, just east of the Rock River.

Single day admission is $5 or a three-day pass is $10. Kids 12 and under are free. New this year will be a free shuttle service every 40 minutes from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. located at 465 Route 6, Geneseo, to the AETA show grounds. For more infor-mation on AETA’s Working Farm Show, visit www.ae-ta.com.
