Don’t rely on funding, schools told Putnam County School Board OKs tentative budget By Dave Cook
news@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE — The tentative budget for the 2016/2017 fiscal year was the main focus of the Putnam County School Board
meeting on Monday, Aug. 15. As during last year, state funding, or the lack of it, continues to remain a question mark for the district. “While funding was provided by the stopgap budget, we were told at the new superintendents’ conference in Springfield to not rely on that funding after the elections. So funding will continue to be an issue this year for the district, and we’ll have to continue to try and be more conservative,” Superintendent Carl
Carlson said. Carlson presented, and the board approved, the tentative budget. He said the budget is a flexible review document that’s a work in progress, and he’s still waiting for some final figures. The budget will be available and on display in the district office for 30 days and is set to be finalized at the next school board meeting on Sept. 19. The FY16/17 budget hearing will be at 6 p.m., before the regular
board meeting at 6:30 p.m., on the same day. The state still owes the district $228,331.96. The largest amounts owed are for the special education and transportation funds. The district’s Corporate Personal Property Replacement Tax (CPPRT) allocation for this budget cycle is $2.3 million, which is down from last year’s $2.8 million. Funding from Lostant tuition and the General State Aid (GSA) are

also lower than last year. The tax extension, Title 1 and Title 2 funding and estimated earnings from investments are higher than the amounts in last year’s budget. In other news, the board approved the hiring of Michelle Edens as the district’s Pre-K services coordinator and family educator. The board also approved the non-renewal of maintenance supervisor Chris Uzella’s 2016-2017 contract.

the planned improvements. Shafer also said the seal-coating would be completed soon and that the streets were marked off. At the end of his presentation, he announced his partial retirement. Shafer, village engineer for 38 years and an engineer for 47 years, said he was still going to be working part-time and looked forward to continuing his work with the village.
PRINCETON — With school starting back up across the Illinois Valley, local and state law enforcement officers will be vigilant in their dedication to student safety around commuters, as the children enter and exit the school property. Illinois State Police District 17 Commander Lt. Victor Markowski said the start of the school year means an increase in pedestrian and vehicular traffic around schools. Motorists need to be watchful for children walking and riding their bikes to school and children darting out from between parked cars, and they also need to be on the lookout for slowing and stopped school buses. According to an ISP new release, Markowski said, “As parents drop off their children before school and pick them up after school, there will be an increase in vehicle traffic during the morning and evening commute. Extra travel time should be planned to allow for the increase in traffic.” Spring Valley Police Chief Kevin Sangston said everyone needs to heighten their awareness around school zones, especially during this time of year. Taking heed of the reduced speed zones, watching the school bus stop arms and just being extra patient will help scholars and staff members get in and out of school in an orderly fashion. Markowski said the speed limit in school zones is 20 miles per hour — in effect from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. when children are present. Motorists should refrain from talking on cellphones in a school zone, and remember it is illegal to text while driving.

This bright purple, 1954 Chevrolet COE truck was one of the more unusual vehicles at the show and it had a steady flow of people approaching for a closer look.
More art than science
Market Street drainage improvements approved in Hennepin By Dave Cook

HENNEPIN — At the Hennepin Village Board meeting Wednesday, Aug. 17, village engineer Bill Shafer discussed needed improvements to the drainage system near 11th and Market streets. Shafer proposed possible improvements to the drainage tiles and work on a leach bed and dry well in the area. “This is more art than science because Vol. 148 No. 52 One Section - 16 Pages

This is a situation that won’t get any worse, but it should be fixed,” Shafer said. Shafer said the work was a good off-season project and that the village could reduce the estimated $8,000 to $10,000 cost by using village employees when available. The board approved to proceed with

GRANVILLE — At its meeting Tuesday, Aug. 16, the Granville Village Board announced where residents could buy tickets to the
upcoming performances of the Kelly Miller Circus. The village is sponsoring two performances, which will be held at Putnam County High School at 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30. Tickets are available online at www.kellymillercircus.com and at the following locations: Spring Valley Supermarket, Hy-Vee, PC Foods, Hennepin Food Mart, Granville National Bank and the village hall.
Mike Richetta of Chamlin and Associates discussed ongoing work and maintenance at the water works facility. He also discussed the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application for the work on the brine tanks, which is estimated to cost approximately $485,000. The maximum amount for the grant is $450,000. Prior to the regular board meeting at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 6, there will be a special hearing on this project at 6
p.m. After the hearing, the application will be submitted. The board discussed having the trees in front of the village hall removed before winter and considered replacing the trees with planters. Board members are still researching Americans with Disabilities Act compliance before proceeding with improvements to the girls’ dugout. The roofs on the boys’ dugout will be re-shingled.
Carus has team of emergency medical responders PERU/LASALLE — The Illinois Valley has a new team of licensed Emergency Medical Responders. Carus Corporation’s First Responder Team is now officially licensed as Emergency Medical Responders in the state of Illinois. After 60 hours of training, 23 Carus employees have been accepted into the Illinois Department of Public Health’s Emergency Medical Responder system. The Carus team is now recognized as one of eight non-transport emergency response departments in the Illinois Valley, according to Nicholas Fish, EMS and disaster coordinator for Illinois Valley Community Hospital. “Carus is unique, in that they’ve made the commitment to ensure they have a team onsite to start an emergency medical response before an ambulance arrives,” said Fish. “This type of registration is usually used for fire departments in small or remote areas. The only other two local, non-traditional entities with this registration are Illinois Valley Community College and Flint Hills.” “At this moment, we have 53 people onsite, and 12 of them are trained, registered first responders, able to begin an emergency medical response if needbe,” said Carus’ Environ-

It also means that these employees have the skills to help
save the life of a relative, friend or community member. They now qualify to participate in ride-alongs with local agencies and to begin training for higher level certifications, like EMT or paramedic,” said Greer. Two of Carus’ First Responders work at the company’s Peru headquarters. Customer Sup-
port Representative Jose Rios joined Carus’ First Responder Team after working for about a year as a volunteer firefighter in DePue. “Every employee Carus has provided this training for now has the skills to pursue volunteer opportunities in their community,” said Rios. “Someone who
is already a licensed first responder is a great asset to a volunteer fire department because the department doesn’t have to pay for that person’s training. This goes beyond Carus. This is a great thing for the area.” Carus’ First Responders meet every other month to continue developing their skills.

It also considered possible extensions, as well as addressing complaints of slippery areas near the ramp and docks. Plans for the separate Fourth of July and Bicentennial events are still being formulated. Trustees are interviewing different people and groups to gauge their interest and commitment levels before moving on to more definitive planning. “We need to plan this like a wedding and have our

School starting up makes a big difference in the volume of motorists and the corresponding safety concerns, he said. “We always look at safety as our first main concern, for the students and the parents as well,” Root said. “We look at speed factors in school zones, crosswalks and crossing guards, making sure everything is working properly.”
budget set first. We can’t throw a four-day event on a one-day budget,” trustee Lynn Haage said. The next Bicentennial committee meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 31, at Haage’s home. Trustee Quentin Buffington discussed needed electrical improvements to Walter Durley Boyle Park, although he was waiting for the final specifications from the power company. “We were right at the limit on the Fourth, if we’d have plugged one more vendor in, it’d have been too much,” Buffington said. In other news: • Putnam County Sheriff’s Deputy Josh Randall reminded residents the
curfew for minors is 10 p.m. during the week and 11 p.m. on the weekend. Randall said there have been some incidents of “juvenile stuff,” such as knocking on doors late at night, throwing eggs and messing with outdoor furniture. • The board approved a $100 donation to IV PADS. • The board also approved the scholarship committee recommendations for the Hennepin Vocational Grant. First place was awarded to Jordan Hatton, second to Riley Morris and third to Katelyn Leitner. • Buffington said it hasn’t been approved yet, but if Santa is to appear at the Hennepin Pool, it will be on Saturday, Dec. 3.
Kevin Doyle, Putnam County Sheriff, said most parents want to bring their children to school the first few days or weeks, and after a long and relaxing summer break, the attention spans need a little time to find its top gear again. “The kids as well as the drivers can be easily distracted, and over the summer we could have recruited some new drivers who picked up their license during the summer months,” Doyle said. “That first week everybody is getting back into the routine.” Any motorist approaching a stopped school bus with lights activated and sign extended must stop before reaching the bus. Failure to do so can result
in a $150 fine and the suspension of your driver’s license for three months. Another fact to remember is pedestrians have the right-of-way in a crosswalk. “As a parent I know children are our most valuable resource, and we must provide them with a safe learning environment for future success,” Markowski said. “We must do our part to ensure children are safe on the commute to and from their schools.” All officers said there will be heightened patrols around school zones the first month or so, and essentially throughout each school year.

PMH offers senior behavioral wellness service
PRINCETON — Perry Memorial Hospital in Princeton is announcing the opening of the Perry Memorial Senior Behavioral Wellness outpatient counseling services. This service will provide emotional support for seniors in the local area. In retirement years, many unexpected events can occur that drastically change lives — death of a loved one, new health conditions, family problems, and financial difficulties to name a few. The result for the person in senior years can include increased worries or fears, overwhelming emotions, and beliefs that he/she is the only one dealing with these feelings. Giving seniors an outlet to discuss life events, lack of control over what happens, and related feelings is the main purpose of PMH’s Senior Behavioral Wellness service. This Medicare covered service includes transportation, therapeutic small group discussions, and the opportunity to eat a meal with others. Individual counseling and family counseling sessions are also available. PMH’s Senior Behavioral Wellness service helps seniors work through the concerns they face in life, and to learn new ways to cope and think about their

Health department releases inspection scores for July
The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department makes routine and unannounced visits each month to various food service establishments in Bureau and Putnam counties to inspect the operations. Health inspectors use an identical scorecard at each facility, where they check for health code compliance in 45 areas. Each area carries a rating from one to five, with five being the most critical. Inspectors check the entire operations of the facility in 14 different categories, such as food protection, personnel, and garbage and refuse disposal. Beginning with a score of 100 points, the health inspector deducts one to five points for every violation. The final total is the facility’s inspection report score. A passing food inspection score is 65 or above. At 65, the Bureau/Putnam County ordinance allows the health department to close an establishment, but a score doesn’t have to be that low for the department to close it. It depends on the number of critical and non-critical violations and the type of violations. Certain combi-
nations can create a domino effect for food borne outbreaks. All inspection reports are a matter of public record and can be seen at the Bureau County Health Department in Princeton.

Groups organize wetland construction in Bureau County Four-day event is open to the public PRINCETON —A four-day public expo in Bureau County showcasing the construction of a farm-based wetland designed for nutrient removal will be held on Aug.29 through Sept. 1, at Bonucci Farms outside of Princeton. The event is organized by the Wetlands Initiative (TWI), the Illinois Land Improvement Contractors Association (ILICA), and other partners. The free public event will feature installation of a small constructed wetland designed to capture nutrient runoff from tile drainage; on Aug. 30 only, there will be talks on a variety of other on-farm practices related to nutrient loss reduction and pollinators. The event will also be a demonstration and exhibition of land improvement equipment. There is no admission charge, and everyone is welcome to attend, including landowners, farmers, agribusinesses, conservationists, planners and the general public. Continuing education credits will be available for
Certified Crop Advisers. “This is the second constructed wetland that has been built for tile treatment in Bureau County,” said Dr. Jill Kostel, TWI’s senior environmental engineer. She is providing technical assistance to farmers on the practice, working with the Illinois Corn Growers Association on outreach, and collaborating with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) on the wetland design. “People are encouraged to come watch the construction and ask questions at any time over the four days,” Kostel added. The expo will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Tuesday, Aug. 30, will be a special Conservation Day with activities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. including the following: • Speakers on topics that will include constructed wetlands, cover crops (Illinois Council on Best Management Practices), pollinator habitat (Jannifer Powelson, Stark County Soil and Water Conservation District), and USDA programs (Erika Turner, NRCS). • Food available for purchase.
• A Rainfall Simulator Unit arranged by the Bureau County Soil and Water Conservation District to provide a visual demonstration of a storm event and how water moves over and into the soil. • Landowners can bring water samples from tile drainage, runoff or streams for testing on Tuesday, if desired, by the Illinois Council on Best Management Practices (for instructions see www.illinoiscbmp.org/ Water-Testing/). On Tuesday Julie Armstrong, executive director of the Illinois Nutrient Research and Education Council, will give the lunchtime talk on current research on fertilizer use and nutrient loss reduction practices that optimize efficiency, ensure soil fertility, and address environmental concerns. During the four-day expo, ILICA contractors will build a CP39 constructed wetland, which is designed to naturally capture and remove excess nutrients from tile drainage leaving farm fields. This wetland practice is available for reimbursement under the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) or the Environ-
mental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) of the Farm Bill. Constructed wetlands are one of the practices recommended under the Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy to help reach its reduction goals. “Constructed wetlands are key players in nutrient loss reduction and additionally provide great wildlife habitat value on-farm. With the support of our associates, ILICA is excited to partner with TWI to facilitate the installation of this end-of-pipe practice, demonstrating its applicability as a best management practice (BMP) in Illinois,” said Ryan Arch, ILICA’s executive director. “It’s great to see producers like Bonucci Farms taking steps to address Illinois’ nutrient loss reduction goals, and ILICA is pleased to be able to help contribute to their efforts.” The expo will highlight how constructed wetlands can get results while taking up little land. “These wetlands are small and placed alongside or within drainage ways, in areas of less-productive farmland,” said Kostel. “The wetland they’ll be building at the expo is 4.8 acres in size
Illinois Corn Checkoff donates to Ag in the Classroom BLOOMINGTON — The Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom (IAITC) program will continue providing free education resources to teachers, thanks in part to a $90,000 donation from the Illinois Corn Checkoff, administered by the Illinois Corn Marketing Board (ICMB). With its recent contribution, the ICMB helps IAITC fund its upcoming program year and continues its long-standing position as the top commodity contributor to the ag literacy program. “The Illinois Corn Market-
ing Board is proud to continue our support of agricultural education efforts by investing checkoff dollars with the IAA Foundation and IAITC,” said Tom Mueller, chairman, ICMB. “As there are fewer and fewer of us actively engaged in farming, it becomes even more important to provide quality, science-based education resources to youth, so that they might grow up with a more robust understanding of how their food gets to their table. And maybe they’ll share what they learn with their parents, too.” The donation directly
helps 70 Illinois county ag literacy coalitions engage local educators and students with accurate education about agriculture through lessons and materials based in math, language arts, science and social studies. Last year, IAITC reached more than 550,000 students and more than 37,000 teachers. During the last several years, support from the Illinois Corn Checkoff has helped make free resources available to classrooms, including Ag Mags on diverse topics from water and soil, to livestock care
and corn. This year, efforts will continue to focus on farmers’ role as stewards of the land, incorporating practices from the Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy. “The IAITC program will utilize the new Soil and Water Ag Mags to showcase lessons related to watersheds, cover crops and bioreactors,” said Kevin Daugherty, education director, IAITC.”Often, our teachers and general public hear terms and are confused, and the IAITC program has worked to make the terms and strategies easier to understand.”
including the surrounding pollinator habitat buffer. This practice has been shown to be highly effective at removing nutrients, putting your marginal land to work for you for many years with very little maintenance.” Cooperators on the conservation expo include Bonucci Farms, Illinois Land Improvement Contractors Association, the Wetlands Initiative, Bureau County Soil and Water Conservation District, Champaign County Soil and Water Conservation District, Illinois Corn Growers Association, Illinois Council on Best Management Practices, Illinois Nutrient Research and Education Council, Stark County Soil and Water Conservation District, USDA-Farm Service Agency, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, and Zea Mays Foundation. Registration is not required. To reach the event, take County Road 1500N east from Route 26 just south of Princeton. Signs will direct you to the parking area.

In the scope of things ... Stress. On any given day, you’re likely to hear the word come from most everyone’s mouth, or at the least, you’re likely to see stress and its results coming from just as many individuals. In fact, I think stress has become so persistent in our Terri world that many Simon people have accepted it as a standard COMMENTARY part of life. That’s sad, for I don’t think life is supposed to be so filled with pressure or tension that it affects so many aspects of our existence. Right now, you’re probably saying, “Duh, Terri. You aren’t telling me anything I don’t already know.” And you’re right. There’s probably not one of us who isn’t stressed out about at least something every day ... most likely, there are several things that cause our stress meters to fluctuate, oftentimes creating a host of other stress-related problems that cause us even more stress. It’s a circle that has no ending. When I really attempt to examine the concept of stress, I find it can be very addicting, and worrying about those things that cause me stress is my way to gain control over something in which many times, I have no control. Realistically, if you asked me to name you 10 things right now which I’m stressed out about, I wouldn’t have any trouble rattling off that list. In fact, I could probably give you 20 or 25 items without even pausing to think. You? If we were to examine all the things that cause us stress on a daily basis, I don’t think our lists would be too different. I read somewhere the Top 5 items that cause people stress are money, our jobs, health, relationships and family. The article said most people’s issues with stress fit somewhere into those five categories. I would love to spend the rest of this column offering some sage advice about reducing stress in your lives. We all know the detrimental effects stress has on our bodies and minds, and even without a medical degree, it’s easy to see the results of a stress-filled world. Probably the most important element of living a long life is to avoid stress and worry. Ha ... easier said than done, isn’t it, my friends? The truth of the matter is: We are all fighting our own battles — some which are obvious, and some which are not — but nevertheless, they are battles that cause stress, anxiety and more. The result? We are often left exhausted by the time the day is done, for stress has a way of depleting us in so many ways — physically, emotionally, mentally, psychologically and more. Stress plagues our very existence. It is relentless, and sometimes I get stressed out because I am so stressed out. So what do we do? How can we kick stress to the curb ... and if not delete it, then at the very least, diminish it? It’s difficult, I know. But I think we owe it to ourselves and our families and friends and co-workers to keep stress somewhat under control, since it does affect our ability to function. For what it’s worth ... I developed something that helps me. When something is causing me a great amount of stress, I ask myself the following question: “In the scope of things ... does this really matter?” What that simple little question does is help me put the situation into perspective. In other words, is this stress-causing situation so dire that I need to devote an enormous amount of energy to it? Occasionally the answer is yes, but usually (and thankfully) the answer is no. So then I move on ... Try it. It might help. I guess my point to this column is that we each need to find a way to minimize stress in our lives. It’s unhealthy, and it hurts us. Life is too short to be so stressed out every day. If nothing else, please be kind to one another, including yourself. For in the scope of things ... we have to acknowledge everyone’s battles, and put our own stress into perspective.

COMMENTARY I’m turning into my father. I’m fairly certain that from the years spanning approximately 1971-1982, my dad spent a good chunk of his time turning off light switches that I was too lazy to turn off. Ironically, I now roughly estimate that 79.286 percent of my waking hours are spent turning off lights that other members of my family have left on. What comes around, goes around. Just like that little spinning wheel on the electric meter. It is almost like I have found my new mission in life. My wife wanders through our house flipping on light switches that I didn’t even know existed and I, like a pith-helmeted jungle explorer, track her well-lit path, flipping them down again. By the time I have caught up to her, she has usually back-tracked and turned some of the original lights back on. Futility doesn’t hide in the dark. Being the smart guy I am, I usually like to eloquently point out that, “They’re called ‘on/off’ switches, not just ‘on’ switches.” She usually doesn’t take my good-natured, well-meaning advice very well. If she only she could flip a switch off as easily as she can flip a bird. “I like light,” she always tells me. Well I like light too. I just don’t necessarily like it in rooms that I am not attending at the present moment. It’s not like I’m Tolkein’s Gollum in “The Hobbit” skulking around underground, living in the inky blackness, searching for my precious. I am usually fine with the ambient light coming in the house through these awesome things we have called windows. I guess I just don’t have the same affection for light that she apparently has. She likes light of all kinds: Candlelight, flashlights, desk lamps, kitchen lights, bedroom lights, bathroom lights, living room lights, aquarium lights, fluorescent light,
incandescent light, street lights, runway lights, lighthouses, solar flares, bat signals ... All of which, I believe she would have installed in our house if she was humanly able. At this time, I feel the need to point out that my wife has a 10-year-old partner in her luminescent hooliganism. Like mother, like daughter. It’s weird how kids inherit different things from their parents. Take my daughter for instance. From me, she inherited my thick, full-bodied, lustrous head of hair, while she got her affinity for light from her mother. They gang up on me on this whole fiasco. I hear them giggling at me as I go from floor to floor, room to room, muttering to myself as I shut everything off. Fortunately, I have used my superior intellect, and I have come up with a plan to convince this evil duo to stop their over-illuminating ways. I am enlisting the help of one of my former sworn enemies. Actually, I’m enlisting the help of several million of them. That’s right, I’m obviously talking about the nefarious ladybug. I have written columns railing against the proliferation of these creatures for some time now. I live in an old farmhouse that has all sorts of cracks and crevices where these tiny beasts can hide. They come out
at certain times of the year and can make life a pure hell for me and my allergies. At the very least, pure heck. Would-be entomologists will come to the bug’s defense and say that they’re not pests, and the insects I have the problem with aren’t even actual ladybugs. I don’t care. They make my eyes itch and stuff drip out of my nose. These allergic reactions are possibly even affecting my thick, full-bodied, lustrous head of hair. But now for some good news. My wife is allergic to them too. And I read somewhere that the little orange and black-dappled devils are attracted to light. Hence, less light means less bugs which means less empty Visine bottles and mucousfilled tissues laying around the house. I realize that it’s an unhealthy alliance I’ve made with devious critters, but if I can get a light turned off every now and then, I’ll take it. This is a complex world filled with light-turner-oners versus light shutter-offers. Who knows who is really right when it comes to this subject? Hopefully, President Trump will be able to figure this one out. You can contact Wallace at gregwallaceink7@gmail.com. You can follow him on his blog at http:// gregwallaceink.blogspot.com.
Perfecting the performance ... My children grew up thinking my mother was a cyborg. She is that grandparent who always had a camera or video camera covering half of her face, giving the illusion that she was not fully human. From the delivery room to modern day, she has documented every facet of my children’s lives (and also the generation before them!). We are all very annoyed at the inconvenience of “standing still” and “acting natural” and “get closer” and listening to her exasperated cries of “did it flash?”and “This is a MOVIE, so MOVE!” But on cold, snowy days, armed with hot cocoa, marshmallows and a big blanket, we all appreciate her efforts as we sit and reminisce, laugh, cry and remember. Recently she had an afternoon with my daughter, who is now 21, and shared a video from when she was 2 or 3. In it, Lily sang a few cute little songs, while she twirled her hair and acted shy and interjected a few “Lily-isms” that make us laugh. She was young, innocent, silly and
Lori Boekeloo COMMENTARY naive. If she did those things now in front of the camera, it might not be as cute. We might not laugh as hard (although, knowing my family, it would be fodder for a lifetime of teasing, to see a grown woman singing Barney tunes while giggling and covering her face). I thought about my life as a Christian. When I was new to my faith, I did things and said things that were silly and naive, and I’m sure God laughed heartily at my antics. He allowed me my misguided efforts to get it right. My jumbled words were met with grace, and I was encouraged to practice and learn and grow. When I didn’t quite get the tune, He’d smile and lead me to someone who could teach me to sing it stronger and with more con-
fidence. When I look back and see how far I’ve come, I am reminded that every person who has entered my life was put there for a purpose. They may have been musical and helped me sing more beautifully. The may have had experience with stage presence and taught me to be more confident in my performance. They may have been awful at singing and showed me all of the things I didn’t want to display on camera. I still am no Celine Dion, and probably will never be. I am a work in progress and will continue to try to be the best that I can be and will try to recognize and appreciate the people that God has seen fit to introduce to my life with that goal in mind. Until then, ‘’I love you. You love me. We’re a happy family ...” You know how it ends! Lori Boekeloo of Hennepin is a mother of three.

Community Marshall-Putnam 4-H Show update laneous and livestock. In addition to a blue, red or white ribbon, the judges also select trophy winners, state fair winners and state fair alternates. On Wednesday, the American Red Cross held a blood drive. Thanks to the many donors of the community who help in this worthy cause, they were able to meet the collection goal. Wednesday night was the sale of champions and pie/plant auction. The auction was sponsored by the Marshall-Putnam-Stark Beef Improvement Association. It is a great honor for a 4-H’er to win the right to sell his/her animal at the sale of champions. The winner of the grand champion steer provides watermelon for all to enjoy. The federation members sign up to make pies to be auc-
tioned off during the sale of champions. The pies are put into a collectable ceramic pie plate. There are only 13 ceramic pie plates made each year just for the Marshall-Putnam 4-H Show. Marshall-Putnam 4-H Foundation made a quilt that was auctioned off. The proceeds went to the foundation to help support Marshall-Putnam 4-H. The Marshall-Putnam 4-H sewing club also made a quilt that was auctioned off with the proceeds going to the M-P 4-H Foundation. The show does not go on without the help of many volunteers. The volunteers work many positions such as judges, assistant judges, superintendents, junior superintendents, set up and take down, cleaning crew, building supervisors, food stand, blood drive helpers and pie makers.

Bureau County Fair
Fair dates — The 161st Bureau County Fair will run Aug. 24-28 at the Bureau County Fairgrounds in Princeton.
Horsing around at the Bureau County Fair PRINCETON — If you love horses the Bureau County Fair is the place to be on Saturday, Aug. 27, and Sunday, Aug. 28. On Saturday, come out to the McCutchan Arena and watch the speed and action of the barrel racers. The horses and riders zip around the three barrels in the arena in a cloverleaf pattern in a timed event. There are riders of all ages – from children just starting out to experienced barrel racers. Then watch the flag race where riders have to grab a flag and gallop to the other end of the arena and try to stick the flag into a bucket as they run by. It’s a challenge. The other class is called poles or pole bending. The horse and rider weave in and out of several poles set up in a line down the center of the arena. Their goal is to go fast and not knock the poles over as they twist and turn past them and then run back to the finish line. This event begins at 9 a.m. At 9 a.m. Sunday, the open horse show begins with their halter classes and continues after lunch with performance classes. If you want to see some beautiful quarter horses and ponies, this is the show to go to. Along with their confirmation classes, they will be competing in English and Western riding classes throughout the day. You can even see youth and adults compete in showmanship classes where the exhibitor is judged, rather than the horse. Walk by the trailers in the parking area for a
close up view of the wellgroomed horses. Sunday morning at 10 a.m., the halter classes begin for the draft horse show in the McCutchan Arena. Always a crowd favorite, the six-horse hitch will begin at about 1 p.m. in the arena. Following that class will be other team hitches and cart
classes. There will also be a draft riding class where the exhibitor can choose to ride in English or Western tack. Three breeds of draft horses are expected to attend – Clydesdales, Belgians and Percherons. Check out their dinner plate-sized hooves as they trot around the arena. Visit the barn after the show
and see how big these gentle giants are up close. Admission for these shows is included in your daily admission fee. Bring a lawn chair and sit by the show ring or find a spot on the bleachers. You will be amazed how the ground rumbles and the harness jingles as the huge teams trot by you.
HAVE FUN AT THE BUREAU COUNTY FAIR
Horsepower will be on display Wednesday PRINCETON — A traditional event that you may have seen 100 years ago or more at the Bureau County Fair kicks of the Bureau County Fair grandstand entertainment on Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. The heavy horse pull returns then, and you won’t want to miss it. It is sanctioned by the Wisconsin Horse Puller’s Association. Tickets are $5 for adults, children 12 and under are free. There will be two classes of draft horses (3,300 pounds and heavyweights), pulling on a Dynamometer (the apparatus that was made to measure horsepower). These gentle giants pull as a team, and the team pulling the biggest load the full length is declared the winner. Unlike a tractor pull where the load gets heavier as they pull, the dynamometer stays at a preset weight for a distance of 27 feet and 6 inches. That is a qualified load to go onto a bigger load. The dynamometer machine is built from a 1952 Flat-head Ford and is used just for the sport of horsepulling. It is similar to the sled used by the tractor pullers, with the weight increasing as the stronger teams compete. As the teams come to the dynamometer, you will see the driver hop up onto the seat while the “hookers” drop the hook at the back of the teams harness
into a slot. The action begins immediately when the huge horses’ hooves dig into the dirt and throw their weight into the harness. You will see why these are called heavy horses, as their muscles ripple as they strain to pull the sled. If the hooker misses the hook, the driver has to jump off the seat and control his team as they come around for another shot at it. If he isn’t quick enough, he could do a face plant in the dirt as the teams go into action. Although we never know how many teams will be pulling, we hope to have a good selection of teams entered. The draft horses are primarily of the Belgian draft horse breed because of their muscular structure. They are kept in shape like any other athlete would do for their given sport. You’ll literally be seeing actual horsepower. See Horsepullers. com for more details. If you enjoy seeing draft horses at the fair, come back on Sunday for the draft horse show. Halter classes begin at 10 a.m., and the six-horse hitch class will begin after the lunch break. Breeds expected are Clydesdales, Belgians and Percherons. For complete ticket information for this year’s fair, see the fair’s website at www.Bureaucountyfair.com. The 161st Bureau County Fair runs Aug. 24-28 in Princeton.

Dustin Lynch will perform on Thursday Tractors and trucks will crank it up at fair PRINCETON — The truck and tractor pulls have long been a part of the Bureau County Fair in Princeton. This year’s pulls will be held on a new night, Friday, Aug. 26. The pull begins at 5:30 p.m. with the Farm Stock tractor classes. The “big boys” come out to play at 6 p.m. with the modified and pro farm tractors and the 4x4 and custom pickup trucks. Local participants are encouraged to compete at the pull. Complete rules are available at www.illinistatepullers.com. General admission is $10 for adults in the grandstands or $20 for a pit pass. Kids age 7 to 12 are
$5 for grandstand seating and 6 and under are free. Pit passes are $20 for all kids. Tickets purchased in advance save the $5 fair admission charge. Tickets
are on sale at the fair secretary’s office. For complete information on this year’s fair see www.bureaucountyfair.com. The event is sponsored
by Crop Production Services, Michlig Grain, Consolidated Grain, First Farm Credit, Northern Partners, Holland and Sons, and Vern’s Farm Supply.
PRINCETON — Dustin Lynch will perform at 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 25, in the grandstand at the 2016 Bureau County Fair in Princeton. Since releasing his platinum debut single, “Cowboys And Angels,” Lynch has catapulted onto the country music scene. Racking up more than 45.9 million views on YouTube/ VEVO, notching 91.5 million plus streams on Spotify, soaring to No. 1 on the MTV Music Meter and selling 2.9 million digital singles, he brings a fresh combination of traditional influences and edgy intensity to the genre. Producers Mickey Jack Cones, Brett Beavers and Luke Wooten showcase his progressive sound throughout his sophomore album, “Where It’s At” (Broken Bow Records), which delivered consecutive No. 1 smashes — “Hell Of A Night” and
platinum-certified, multiweek chart-topper “Where It’s At” — and his latest Top 25-and-climbing single, “Mind Reader.” Debuting at No. 1 on the iTunes Country Albums Chart upon release, the album has tallied more than 1 million tracks sold to date. Lynch recently launched his first headlining Hell of a Night Tour, which already claims advance sellouts in Chicago, Anaheim, San Diego and Denver. He has joined Luke Bryan’s Kill The Lights Tour, marking his second nationwide run with the superstar, and has previously opened for Keith Urban. Rave reviews continue to stack up for the high-energy performer with Rolling Stone coining Lynch as Luke Bryan’s “possible heir apparent” and Billboard naming him one of the “Young Guns” leading country music’s changing of the guard.

PRINCETON — A new event will close out the Bureau County Fair on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 28. Come out to the grandstand at 1 p.m. and watch the Overlanders 4x4 Mud Drags. Mud lovers will enjoy this event as pickups, Jeeps and pro stock vehicles line up side by side in a drag race. But it’s not your typical drag race. This track is going to be muddy! The racers will line up with the traditional drag racing Christmas tree starting lights just waiting for the green light to flash. They will hit the gas, and the mud will fly as they
race toward the finish line. These guys are fast – running 180 feet in 3 seconds. There will be several classes of trucks running from Modifieds down to Bone Stock Trucks — a class for street legal daily driver trucks. The stock classes will drag race side by side, while the more modified units will do timed drags. This event is open to local contestants too. So if you think you have a fast truck you are invited to come out and enter this event. Bring your helmet and come to the back pit gate after 11:30 a.m. to sign in. Admission is $10 for the
mud drags. Just a reminder that the 2016 Bureau County Fair demolition derby will be held on Saturday this year instead of Sunday. There will be two shows. At 11 a.m. Saturday, the $10,000 to win Four Man Team Demo will be held. After it’s over, enjoy the fair for a few hours and come back to the grandstand at 4:30 p.m. for the kids Power Wheels demo. The traditional fair demolition derby begins at 5 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are available now at the fair secretary’s office. Get admission for both demos for $20 or one for $15. Box seats are $5 more.

Wild World of Animals part of free entertainment
Community worship service on Sunday PRINCETON — Fifteen Bureau County congregations are sponsoring this year’s community worship at the 161st annual Bureau County Fair. The service will be at 10 a.m. Sunday, Aug 28, in the grandstand. This is the ninth year for this ecumenical service. The speaker originally was announced as Jo Anne Lyon, who with deep regrets cannot be at the service due to a family medical emergency. Fortunately, another in-high-demand speaker has quickly been found. Jim Dunn, who had only two open weekends for the rest of 2016, has agreed to speak at the service. He is a gifted leader in the area of spiritual formation and currently serves as a coach in the area of church development. He is a published author. Dunn has served as a pastor of a growing congregation for 15 years and was an elected official in the Wesleyan Church for 12 years. He has preached the Gospel in 42 states and on four continents. Admission to the grandstand is free for this service, with shuttle service from the parking area to the grand-
stand. After attending worship, adults may enter the midway through the gate by the grandstand for $3 (regular $5); children age 7 to 12 are $2; and children 6 and under are free. The service is hosted by the First Baptist Church of LaMoille, First Baptist Church of Manlius, First Congregational Church of Bureau, Hollowayville United Church of Christ, Willow Springs Mennonite Church in Tiskilwa, Zion Lutheran Church of Clarion and the following congregations from Princeton: Christ Community Church, Evangelical Covenant Church, First Presbyterian Church, First Lutheran Church, First United Methodist Church, Seventh Day Adventist Church, St. John Lutheran Church, St. Matthews Lutheran Church and Princeton Wesleyan Church. The service will be broadcast live on WZOE. For more information, contact Pastor Derek Boggs, 815-875-2124 or derek@ eccprinceton.org; Pastor Scott Schmidt, 815-879-6491 or pastor.stmatthewsprinceton@gmail.com; or Pastor Doug Kirkpatrick, 815-8794481 or dougkirk71198@ comcast.net.
PRINCETON — Don’t miss the free entertainment daily during the Bureau County Fair. Pick up a schedule when you get to the fairgrounds so you don’t miss this fun and educational show. The Wild World of Animals show is one of the premier grounds act in the entertainment industry. Its unique blend of animal diversity and environmental messages coupled with originally scripted nonstop laughter, especially an opinionated pig, makes for an enjoyable time for the whole family. Have you ever held a 13-foot, 100pound python, stared into the eyes of brutus, or unknowingly worn a safari vest filled with creepy critters? The volunteers that are called onstage get to do that and much more. The Wild World of Animals show is fast-paced and full of energy. The animals in the show range from arthropods, amphibians, reptiles, birds and finally mammals. The audience learns interesting animal facts, laughs at their antics and witnesses their amazing natural abilities. Don’t blink or you may miss an animal running, slithering, jumping or flying across our stage. Some of the animals that may appear in the show are a macaw (parrot), pot-bellied pigs, alligator, snapping turtle, a Burmese python or an African monkey. Other daily free entertainment is the chainsaw artistry of Tim and Karen Barker. Watch the Barkers as they use chainsaws to create unique sculptures out of Catalpa tree logs. From a bare log you will soon see
a whimsical raccoon or bear cub appear. Barkers will be carving daily during the fair. You can own a piece of their artwork for yourself. There will be a chain saw carving auction at 2:30 p.m. Sunday and all of the carvings will be sold at that time. There will
also be a pie auction at the same time. The proceeds from this sale will be donated to the new Bureau County Fair Queen for help with expenses as she represents Bureau County at the Illinois State Fair Queen Pageant in Springfield in January.
