Announcing the Women of Distinction Illinois State Sen. Sue Rezin is the keynote speaker for 2016 event After much deliberation by the judges ... and many miles traveled to notify the winners, Illinois Valley Living magazine and the Bureau County Republican, Putnam County Record and Tonica News are proud to announce the 2016 Women of Distinction. Receiving the honors this year are six ladies from the Illinois Valley. They include: • Sheryl Churney of LaSalle.

• Nancy Heiden of Princeton. • Joy Kauffman of Tiskilwa. • Monico Huber Nunez of Princeton. • Barbara White of Cherry. • Deb Wood of rural Princeton. As in the previous three years of this award, the winners were selected by former Women of Distinction award winners. As typical in the past years since the award’s inception in 2013, Illinois Valley Living magazine received numer-

ous nominations this year. The judges clearly had their work cut out for them, as they read and reread each nomination received for deserving women throughout the Illinois Valley. The judges made their selections using a number system. The numbers were then tallied, and the aforementioned women collectively received the highest totals from the judges. “This was quite a task,” said one of the judges, a former Women of Distinction

winner. “All of the ladies who were nominated were so deserving of this award. It was difficult to select my winners, but after I was finished, it became clear all the ladies who were nominated were winners. Every lady nominated was a winner in her own right. The Illinois Valley is lucky to have so many women who make a difference in the lives of other people.”

RUTLAND — Kirk Kimble hosted more than 50 people during the Kimble Field Day Farm Demonstration on Sept. 1. Highlighting new methods being promoted by the Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy (INLRS), area farmers and Vol. 149 No. 3 One Section - 16 Pages

FFA students had several opportunities to become more familiar with the new management practices. Farmers and students broke into several groups and moved between different stations on the farm. Each highlighted both the need for, the effects of, and the benefits of implementing these new techniques.

Conservation Districts of Champaign and Vermilion counties, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Soil Health Partnership and others. Jonathon Manuel with the Champaign and Vermilion counties SWCD, brought a rainfall simulator.

GRANVILLE — Creating a new marijuana ordinance and costs and concerns about the second phase of McCoy Street repairs were among the topics at the Granville Village Board meeting Tuesday, Sept. 6. Now that state laws makes possession of less than 10 grams of marijuana a misdemeanor, the village could create its own ordinance, village attorney Brad Popurella said. Doing so “would allow the village to keep all the funds generated by these fines rather than only getting a small amount if they’re paid through the court system,” Popurella said. “Princeton, Spring Valley, LaSalle already have something similar in place.” The fines could be paid at City Hall.

Welcome Illinois State Sen. Sue Rezin By Terri Simon

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

Illinois State Sen. Sue Rezin has served in her state office seat since 2010. She represents all or parts of Bureau, Grundy, LaSalle, Kendall, Livingston, Putnam and Will counties. Illinois Valley Living Magazine, the Bureau County Republican, the Putnam County Record and the Tonica News is happy to announce Rezin has confirmed she will be the keynote speaker at the annual Women of Distinction awards luncheon on Tuesday, Oct. 25. Rezin is a 2015 Women of Distinction award winner. Rezin’s hometown is Geneseo, however, she now resides in Morris with her husband, Keith, four children and three dogs — all labs, one brown, one black and one yellow. Rezin attended Augustana College and graduated with a degree in international business and political science with a minor in Hispanic studies. As an Illinois Senator, Rezin said one of her most important

responsibilities is to represent her constituents and their values. “This means fighting for them and what they deem importState Sen. Sue ant in Springfield, while also helping Rezin them with state-related problems,” Rezin said, adding other responsibilities include being a public voice for her constituents in Springfield; communicating regularly with constituents, educational leaders and local, state and federal leaders about issues; meeting with everyday families/workers; and visiting business/job creators. “I love this job because not only do I get to meet so many wonderful people and travel throughout our great district, but I get to represent them,” she said. Rezin said one of the opportunities associated with her position is to help ideas become a reality for the district and the state, whether it’s local economic issues, the state’s educational system, roads, making government more effi-

cient, and more. “Being able to help people is something I care deeply about. It’s a privilege my role allows me to do that on a daily basis,” Rezin said. Besides her work as a state senator, Rezin said she enjoys spending time with her family and making memorable experiences with family and friends. She also enjoys riding her bike long distances and is a runner as well. Her advice to others — specifically women in the workplace — is simple: Work harder than anyone else. “Having a bad experience should not be looked at as a burden or a stumbling block,” Rezin said. “Look at it as a learning experience and take that experience to grow from it. Look at challenges as a positive, not as a road block. Don’t be limited by your surroundings.” Rezin will address the crowd at this year’s Women of Distinction awards luncheon. See the accompanying story for details on tickets and activities during this special event to honor area women.

There will be no refunds given. Seats are limited. “As always, this will be a great event,” said Illinois Valley Living Editor Terri Simon. “Like winners from the past, the 2016 Women of Distinction are such great role mod-

els. I’ve enjoyed speaking with each and every one of them. Without exception, all of our Women of Distinction award winners were humbled and quite surprised to learn they had won. I think everybody — women and men alike —

are going to enjoy meeting these fabulous women. “Also, I am excited to have Illinois State Sen. Sue Rezin be our keynote speaker this year,” Simon continued. “Not only is she a great role model for women, she has worked tirelessly for the

benefit of all Illinois citizens. “All in all, it’s going to be a day to remember. I hope you’ll join us in celebrating the women of the Illinois Valley and beyond who have truly made a difference in the lives of others,” Simon said.

near the railroad tracks, I’ve measured the next 1,700 feet, which takes it to the intersection of Hopkins Street. In that distance, there’s approximately 1,400 feet of sidewalk which could be replaced,” Richetta said. Complicating the repairs are the stairs on three of the four corners at the Hopkins/McCoy intersection. In addition to the need to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, there are drainage issues caused by the pitch of the road and

by sinking ground that has caused the stairs to no longer be level. The steps could be cut into and the surface beneath the road raised to assist with drainage, or the pitch of the road could be changed so water flows in the other direction, Richetta said. Installing a ramp midblock to provide wheelchair access would meet ADA requirements. Once the area is surveyed and topographically mapped, they will have a better idea of which

option will be best, he said. The survey would cost about $15,500 and a design plan about $34,000 more, money that could come from the village’s Motor Fuel Tax funds, he said. Also Sept. 6: • Public Works Superintendent Sheli Starkey said water levels at the wastewater plant are returning to normal after the recent rain, and staff is working to lower ammonia levels by slowing the water flow in the lagoon.

“We don’t have any figures yet, but we’re taking steps to address the issue,” Starkey said. • Four aging fire hydrants were replaced at a cost of $10,000, which is coming from the Water Depreciation Fund, and two sinkholes, one near the bridge on McCoy Street and the other near the cemetery on Hennepin Street, need to be repaired, she said • The board also gave Moore the OK to order a new radar speed sign at a cost of $2,830.

Controlling chaos ... Lostant Fire Department hosts blazing nighttime training exercise By Dave Cook

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

LOSTANT — A 600-gallon propane tank with a roaring, 40-foot mass of flames shooting out of it isn’t something anyone should want to be remotely near, let alone mere inches away. However, firefighters face this possibility every day. To prepare for such a volatile situation, the Lostant Fire Department hosted more than 40 firefighters from seven local departments on Sept. 8 to train how to safely bring control to a highly-dangerous type of fire. Members from Lostant, McNabb, Henry, Leonore, Cedar Point, Wenona and Oglesby Fire Departments were briefed prior to the exercise about proper procedures and safety concerns. After the classroom portion, the firefighters put their gear on, split into four groups and practiced what was learned before the fuel was lit. Lostant Training Officer Gabe Shull, a 12-year veteran said, “The nice thing about this exercise is it’s a good mix of firefighting, hazardous materials, teamwork and communications.” Sponsored by the Illinois Fire Service Institute (IFSI), the class was one of approximately six IFSI classes Lostant holds every year, according to Shull. FS Grainco was also on hand, donating their

rig and time to the event. As darkness finally settled on Lostant, a road flare was lit, and the tank valve opened. As a firefighter approached the tank, he turned his face away and held the flare out to the loudly hissing and visible gas spray. With a powerful, deep pop the night was immediately transformed into a thundering glow — the smell and taste of propane heavy in the air. Two teams of firefighters slowly advanced, hoses aimed to keep the tank of liquefied petroleum (LP) from reaching an explosive temperature. Marching one step at a time on command, the teams were only a few feet away when one team was directed to aim their hose toward the base of the flames. With the blaze increasing and changing in color, the flames broadcast the spray of water over a wide area. Continuing to close the distance, they beat back the flames until successfully extinguishing the fire and/or getting close enough to close the valve by hand. McNabb firefighters Lt. Bob Maier and Assistant Chief Roland Naff spoke before the exercise of the danger involved and the need for safety. Naff said, “You can’t over-educate yourself; you not only have to keep yourself safe, but your team as well. Safety for everyone is our No. 1 concern.”

LEFT: Pictured is an open, 600-gallon propane tank at the moment of ignition. Sparked by the road flare in the firefighter’s hand, the teams were able to advance within inches of the flaming tank and shut the valve off.

COA honors Youth Service Bureau

Don Wenzel and his produce are a regular at the Spring Valley Farmers’ Market. His farm will be featured on the next Farm Crawl, set for Monday, Sept. 19.

The Youth Service Bureau of Illinois Valley (YSBIV) just recently completed its re-accreditation by the national accrediting entity, the Council On Accreditation (COA), which accredits social service agencies all over the world. The Youth Service Bureau gave a “Gold Medal” performance during its review by the COA. The Youth Service Bureau has previously been accredited by the COA since 1999. This year, YSBIV accepted the challenge of becoming re-accredited, and began the process of applying to COA in July of 2015. The Youth Service Bureau, led by Frank Vonch, its executive director, earned high praise from the team of “reviewers” that were sent by COA. They had extremely high praise for the staff, the supervisors, the administrative team and the board of directors of the agency. The COA reviewers began their review pro-

cess of the review on Aug. 21, with a “sampling” of files from all of the Youth Service Bureau’s 14 programs. From there the reviewers had free access to speak to agency staff, clients and supervisors. At the conclusion of the review on Aug. 24, the COA reviewers had high praise for the YSB and its programs. The COA reviewers praised the agency for its well run and managed programs; the commitment of its board of directors; the high degree of cooperation of its staff; the transparency of its operations; the clarity of its direction; the agency’s “can do” attitude; and for the structure, layout and thoroughness of the agency’s “Self Study.” Vonch said, “It was rewarding to receive such high praise for the staff, the programs and the agency. We have a wonderful story here at YSB, and this validates the hard work that everyone here as a team works to achieve.”

Nominations open for inaugural Illinois Job Honor Awards Honor Awards. Previous honorees have overcome physical and mental disabilities, criminal convictions, limited English proficiency and long-term unemployment in their struggle for employment. “Our society celebrates lottery winners, movie stars and professional athletes,” notes founder Kyle Horn. “We rarely hear inspiring stories of individuals whose lives are transformed through the

hard work and perseverance that leads to meaningful employment. It’s time for a new kind of hero.” The first-ever Illinois Job Honor Awards will be presented in partnership with the Illinois Chamber of Commerce and Illinois State Council for the Society for Human Resource Management (ILSHRM) at their annual New Laws Forum at the Hilton Lisle/Naperville hotel in Lisle.

“Illinois employers are always looking for the next great hire,” said Todd Maisch, president and CEO, Illinois Chamber of Commerce. “It’s no secret that Illinois has a great workforce as one of its greatest assets. But it’s also no secret that many employers have trouble finding qualified employees. These awards will help demonstrate success and show Illinoisans the potential for those who have barri-

ers to employment.” Top employee honorees will bring home $500 each, and winners in both the employee and employer categories will receive engraved crystal awards. Biographical videos will be presented for all honorees. Nominations are invited through the organization’s website, www.JobHonor.org, before the Sept. 16 deadline.

Root From Page 1 Providing a visual demonstration of rainfall on different surfaces, it included a hard urban run-off surface, a grassy filter strip, soil with a 100 percent residue cover, soil with a 30 percent residue cover and soil with no residue. “Farmers have been mostly asking about tillage residue. They’ve been receptive to the cover crop/no-till practices and the cost-share programs to help implement them have been successful. Five years ago, I only had 500 acres of cover crops in Champaign County if I counted wheat. Today, I could easily go over 5,000 acres without counting wheat as a cover crop, so it’s really grown,” Manuel said. The rainfall simulator also illustrated the benefit of field strips when water samples from the simulation were taken for testing. Caroline Wade of the ICGA said, “Our testing showed the bare soil strip had 23 ppm of nitrates. More than 10 ppm is considered a health hazard in drinking water. The nitrate level in the field strip sample only contained 2.4 ppm. That’s a dramat-

No tillage is the first big step towards improving earthworms. If there’s no residue on top of the soil surface, they have nothing to

eat, and they’ll die,” Isermann said. Isermann said the farmer’s biggest concern was getting cover crops established, followed closely by how to control over-wintering cover crops in the spring without negatively effecting the cash crop. “Our goal is to manage in a way that also benefits the cash crop,” Isermann said.

ment company, said, “We’ve gotten a lot of questions about products preserving nitrogen in the field, whether they’re nitrification inhibitors or urease inhibitors. I’ve also been talking about soybeans and how cover crops improve yields. Every farmer has his own system and is hesitant to change, but events like this show how these new practices benefit productivity as well as the environment.”

A rainfall simulator recreated the impact of rain upon different surfaces. After the demonstration, water samples were taken for testing and showed the soil strip with no crop residue had drastically higher levels of nutrient loss. Another benefit of cover crops that was frequently discussed was weed suppression. “We’ve had some excellent questions. It’s encouraging to see because higher level questions means the message is getting through. They’re thinking seriously about implementing these practices to not only improve soil and water quality, but to also improve productivity,” Wade said. Kimble said of being a member of the Soil Health Partnership program, “It’s working out really well. The main reason I joined

was to be able to tell the landlords how we’re improving soil and water quality by using cover crops. I’ve been doing cover crops on some of my farms for six years, and I really like the health benefits. It’s helped with weed control and also with nematode control with the soybeans. I’ve been very pleased with all of it. We’re only in the second year of the soil study, but we’re hoping to document soil health improvement over 10 years. We’ve gotten a lot of data which proves we’re being good stewards.”

The art of bill paying There are a lot of things in this world I love to do. Likewise, there are just as many things in my life that don’t thrill me all that much. And then there are the things I detest — tasks I must do that shatter my last nerve. Fortunately those detested Terri items aren’t many in number, but Simon when it comes time COMMENTARY to tackle each one, I would rather lie down in traffic than perform any of these dreaded duties. What could possibly be so bad? What obligations could be so detrimental to my increasingly fragile psyche that I’m almost to the point of hiring someone to perform these duties for me? You’re going to think I’ve lost all sense of reality when I tell you what one of my worst tasks is — the one that causes me to pop open a bottle of Chardonnay before I even attempt to begin; the one that gives me a headache hours before I know I have to perform this obligatory and monthly duty; the one that makes me think of lying down in traffic rather than having to do this one more time. Are you ready? I absolutely hate to pay bills. Right now, I know you are saying, “Suck it up, Ter. You’re an adult, and that’s what adults do.” I know that. I know there are adult things none of us like to attend to, but for some reason, bill-paying day is one of my absolutely horrendous obligations that causes me all kinds of grief. Don’t even send me emails about automatic withdrawals and bill paying online, since I don’t trust either option. I’m so old fashioned when it comes to sending my money to those I owe that I put myself through all kinds of chaos to keep from the technological endeavor of having it done with a click of a mouse. A typical bill-paying day starts crossing my mind the minute my feet hit the floor in the morning. Rather than start early with a hot cup of coffee to boost my energy level, I put it off all day long as the ugly task keeps eating at me throughout the day. By the time I sit down at my kitchen island, I’m so angry at what lies before me — a stack of bills I owe (OK, there’s probably about eight); a stack of bills I’m helping my mom pay (probably the same amount); a huge stack of what I deem to be junk mail, which still requires me to open each envelope and then tear our names into oblivion for fear of identity theft; and the always huge pile of magazines, catalogs and other (sorry) crap. In the throes of this horrible mess, I also have a calculator, stamps, a pen I like, return address labels, tape (I’ll explain that one in a minute), two checkbooks and a garbage bag. My huge kitchen island is filled and overflowing, ... just like my head. OK, the art of writing out checks isn’t that big of a deal. We’ve all done it for years, but as those years have crept up on me, the job is far less simple than it used to be. Here are just a sampling of my issues: • I write out the bill; make a note on the other part of the bill that includes the amount I wrote the check for, the check number and the date and enclose it in the envelope. Wait a minute ... did I sign the check? Tear open the envelope (thus the need for the tape), and yes or no ... the check was or wasn’t signed. • Do the aforementioned things to get the check ready, lick the envelope ... and then realize I forgot to put the check in that envelope. Ditto on the need for tape. • Why is the Mediacom check still on the counter, when the envelope is sealed, but the cell phone check is missing? Of course the cell phone check is in the Mediacom envelope. Tape to the rescue. While some of you might think the Chardonnay has something to do with this fiasco, let me assure you I’ve tried it without the cork, and the mess is equally ugly ... if not uglier. Quite frankly, I finish this seemingly endless task in such a bad mood that I’m tempted to uncork another — and I’m not in the bad mood for having to spend the money (that’s another column), rather the entire dog and pony show I have to go through to accomplish it all. I tell people all the time ... I’m pretty good with words, not so good with numbers. I rest my case. PCR Editor Teri Simon can be reached at tsimon@ putnamcountyrecord.com.

COMMENTARY It’s funny how the brain works, or doesn’t work in some cases. It’s weird how it seems to pick and choose, willy-nilly, what to remember and what to throw to the curb. For me, I can never remember whether or not a straight beats a three-of-a-kind, and if you ask at the poker table, in the middle of a hand, your buddies will end up with all your money. I can’t remember something as simple as that, but I know that Alan Hale Jr. portrayed the part of Jonas Grumby, the Skipper of the ill-fated SS Minnow on Gilligan’s Island. (Gilligan’s first name was reported to be Willy, but was never used on the show.) Yeah, that’s the kind of stuff that I remember. Here’s another example of what I’m talking about. Just the other day, I needed to supply my Social Security number on a form. I’ve only written that number down thousands of times in my life, but for some strange reason, it just didn’t look right on that particular day. I wrote it down, stared at it, and debated on whether or not I had numbers in the right order. I thought I was losing my mind. It ended up that I was right, but it was kind of freaky. And then, later that same day, I just happened to look down and see the high school football sports preview section from the newspaper laying on the table. I breezed through it, read some things here and there, but mostly looked at the pictures. Some things never change. I started reminiscing about my old high school football days. For some strange reason, I thought about one particular moment from a practice my sophomore year. This would have been from September or October of 1981, but I could picture it like it was yesterday. Unfortunately, I have convinced myself that I remember quite a bit of stuff that never happened, but I’m pretty sure on this one. Before I tell you this tale, I feel the need to inform you that our football team used a rubber ball instead of leather when we were on offense. The reason being that in wet weather, the rubber ball would not change in weight where the leather ball that everyone else used would get heavier. It made things

more consistent and easier for the quarterback. Quarterbacks are such wussies. I was a wide receiver, and I didn’t mind the rubber ball, but I just remember how hard the point of the ball was when you caught it against your body or it hit your fingers just right. (I guess wide receivers can be wussies too.) Now I can get on with the story. It was a Thursday afternoon, the last practice before a Friday night game. We went without football pads on those days, and usually just went over the scouting report and ran through some basic plays just to get everyone on the same page without getting anyone hurt. The last thing we did was practice kicking field goals and extra points. On this particular day, another guy and I were picked to chase down the kicks as the varsity kicking team went through the motions. Basically, the center, the holder and the kicker were the only ones who did anything. The rest of the linemen would simulate a block and relax while the kicker kicked. Pretty basic, boring, non-funny stuff. My buddy and I were standing in position to get the football after it was kicked. From our point of view, we could see all of the linemen, the top of the holder’s head and the kicker. We could see the holder flex his hands which was the signal for the center to hike the ball. We could see the holder catch the ball and set it down. We could see the kicker begin his motion. We could hear the rubber football being kicked. We saw the kicker’s leg follow through. We saw the linemen simulate their blocks. We saw it all. Except for one

thing. The ball. It was nowhere to be seen. As most of the linemen stood up from their three-point stances, we noticed that one did not. The offensive guard on the left side didn’t stand up. In fact, his hands went immediately to grip his butt. Making strange noises, he then fell forward onto the top of his helmet. And there it was, that hard-pointed, brown, whitestriped rubber football manufactured by the Mikasa corporation, was lodged squarely and firmly between the backside of the lineman’s upper thighs. He looked like an upside-down chicken in the middle of childbirth. Speaking of the kicker, by now he was rolling on the ground laughing, along with the holder, the coaching staff, the rest of the team and anyone else who witnessed the scene. The only guy not giggling uncontrollably was the poor guy who “caught” the ball. He was just laying on the ground making high-pitched whimpering noises that could only be heard by dogs. So I hope all you youngsters out there have learned something from this tale. Thirty-five years from now, when you’re struggling, trying to remember your Social Security number, it’s not as bad as getting kicked square in the ... well, you know. The one thing that I learned from this whole situation — always go for two. You can contact Wallace at gregwallaceink7@gmail.com.

Considerations by Nedda Some young mothers were talking about their favorite fall colors, and one who had five children replied, “The yellow school bus.” It is school time, and we have to watch the zones and kids running around. Those little tykes with those huge backpacks amaze me. In a one-room school house, if we all carried that many books, we would have cleared out the library (or what we called the library). Some of us can remember the long ago schools, and they seem so isolated and disconnected from the world now. I really don’t think the “good old days” were that great. I like the present. I see the wonderful things that children can learn from the world now. Of course, our job, as the elder crowd, is to help them learn basic good values, and that winning is not always the point. The Olympics are so much fun to watch, and I am yelling at the TV to urge the athletes on.

Nedda Simon COMMENTARY

Sportsmanship and the beauty of Brazil can be both be enjoyed because of the benefits of technology and all the efforts of thousands of athletes, families and coaches. August might be the time to pause and reflect on the months ahead. They will be full of schedules, appointments and obligations. There will be frenzied and planned chaos. Can we plan better and make life more pleasant for ourselves and others? It also wouldn’t hurt to do a quick inventory. You know, just a look at the habits we have developed over time that might not be so good for us. An attitude that could

be adjusted, and if the pace is too fast, slow down and notice the very, very, small things. My grandmother believed you need to learn something new every day, and that is not a bad idea. Reading is a great pleasure, and it can soothe the soul and teach at the same time. Of course, PBS stations are fine for learning and pleasure. Television is great, but I caution all of us to not let the comments change our core values. Everybody has an opinion on the channels, and frankly they can be inaccurate and misleading. We need less conflict, and opinions can really stir things up! Think of the most positive; live the most positive; believe the most positive. And of course, if we all do that, we will remember to be kind. It will come naturally. Nedda Simon of rural Princeton can be reached at neddasimon@ ymail.com.

Oh baby! Coaches take a break from the game By Kevin Hieronymus

said.

Good hands

Shaw Media Service

Volleyball coaches are tuned in to the 12 to 15 girls making up their team each season. For three months of the calendar, from August to October, and even longer when you include the time spent in the offseason over the summer, those girls are their kids. Two area coaches added another member to their teams this summer with the arrival of their first child.

Baby makes 3

First-year Bureau Valley Storm coach Caitlyn (Corwin) DeMay, and her husband, Adam, welcomed a baby girl, Rilynn Marie, into the world Aug. 4 on the eve of the fall season. She was 20.5 inches long and 7 lbs, 15.9 oz. DeMay started the school year on maternity leave at her new job at Bureau Valley South and is due to begin teaching at the end of September after an eightweek absence. She is vastly enjoying her motherhood. “I am eager to get back to the swing of things, but for now I am going to enjoy my last couple weeks with my little one. You only get this time once with your new baby,” DeMay said. Maddux Bell entered the world July 15, 2016, a year that promises to be historic for the Chicago Cubs and their fans. He was born to Putnam County coach Amy Bell and her husband, Jared. With mom and dad both Cubbie fans, the Bells made a pitch for the name Maddux in honor of former Cubs great Greg Maddux. Maddux and Mom have made it to a majority of the PC matches thus far and the coach returned to school and the gym Monday, Sept. 12. While Bell said she does miss her time in the gym with “my girls,” she wouldn’t trade her time with her baby for anything. “Becoming a mom has been wonderful,

There’s lot of strong women that do make the world work with strong families, friends and your support system around you,” she

Both coaches had the fortune of falling back on some familiar and experienced coaches to take over their teams in their absence. DeMay handed the reigns over to Litherland, who coached her at Bureau Valley (Class of 2005). DeMay also is very familiar with her sub at school, which just so happens to be her mother, Pat Corwin, longtime BVS staffer and coach, newly retired. Bell turned to former Hall High School head and assistant coach and IVCC head coach Laurie Polte to run the Panthers during her time off. Polte and Litherland have decades coaching between them, each taking their respective high programs to state. Polte made three straight trips with Hall from 1995-97, the last two as head coach and the first as an assistant, while Litherland guided the Storm to state in 2005. “I couldn’t be any luckier to have a person like Vicki help me out with the team. I know the team is in good hands with her and my assistants,” DeMay said. “I haven’t made any practices, but I have made a few games where I am sitting on the bench but coach L is coaching.” “It has been a pretty smooth process. She calls me and lets me know what is going on, and we talk through things and different options,” DeMay said. It’s been a real smooth transition, Litherland said, helped by the fact that not only Corwin played for Litherland, but Storm assistant Sam (Durham) Taylor, DeMay’s classmate (2005), also did. Dan DeVenney, the other member of the Storm staff, is a fellow BV graduate as well. “All three coaches came through the Bureau Valley program. You can see similarity in styles. We each have our own style, but that sure helps,” Litherland said. “It’s all worked out well. The kids have

been great. When you throw the ball out, it doesn’t matter who tosses it out, coach Puck or coach Litherland; the kids are going to chase it around.” Litherland puts the plan in place for each match. DeMay attends, but does no coaching yet. “We talk after the games and troubleshoot,” Litherland said. The Storm staff utilizes 4-way text messaging, so everyone can communicate together, DeMay said. Bell said Polte has been a Godsend. “I miss being in the gym, but I know my girls have been in great hands with Laurie. They are very lucky,” Bell said. “She gave me the opportunity to spend time with my little man and not worry about what was happening in the gym.” Bell stayed in close contact with Polte, working together to pick the girls who would dress on the varsity and talked about starters, positions, and the defense and offense the team would run, she said. Polte, who got her start coaching under John Garvin with the Tiskilwa Volley Dolls in the early ‘90s before heading to Hall, said she’s had a great time and made sure to maintain status quo until Bell returned to active duty. “The kids have been so good and have accepted me very well. This is her program and team, so I want to make sure we agree on line-ups, rules, etc,” she said. “Hopefully the kids learned something from me. It’s been a privilege to coach them. I thank Amy, the players, the parents and Putnam County High School for the opportunity.” Polte joked that she had to ask her daughter, Erin, the head coach at IVCC, to remind her about some of the drills they ran. But like a new mother with her first baby, veteran coaches like Polte and Litherland have picked things up right away.

Princeton DAR opens 2016-17 year PRINCETON — The Princeton-Illinois Chapter NSDAR held its opening meeting of the 201617 chapter year on Sept. 3 at the Prouty Building in Princeton. Regent Diana Williamson announced the appointment of Dorothy Ary, rural Tiskilwa, to fill the vacated position of historian. Registrar Eva Blanco announced membership additions: Lura Hamilton, Lynda Bird and two prospective members who are waiting for full approval of

their applications by the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution in Washington, D.C. A report on the June NSDAR Continental Congress, held in Washington, D.C., shared the news of the record achieved by the society and added to the Guinness Book of World Records. More than 100,900 letters to current military service members were collected for mailing within one week. The original goal was to collect 10,000 letters. The accomplishment

was announced on Fox TV News the next day. Chairman Lois Peterson gave a National Park Minute and displayed the new Forever stamp honoring the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service. Members continue to collect Box Tops for Education to be donated to the Tamassee DAR School in Tamassee, S.C. The residential school has served children and families in crisis since 1919. The school plans to purchase a van through the program.

Members with relatives serving during the Vietnam War era will be sharing photos of these military personnel to be placed on the Memorial Wall at the Princeton Walmart store. Both the Princeton-Illinois DAR chapter and Walmart are partners with the Department of Defense in commemorating the Vietnam War and those who served during that era. The chapter will participate in the Homestead Festival parade with a car entry.

Constitution Day, Sept. 17, was announced. On that day members are asked to join other DAR members across the nation by ringing bells at 3:00 CST to commemorate the 229th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution. Constitution Week is celebrated Sept. 17-23. A display at the Princeton Public Library will highlight this important time. The chapter voted to collect food pantry items as its project for the NSDAR Day of Service on Oct. 11, the

126th anniversary of the founding of DAR. Members are asked to bring items to the next meeting on Oct. 7. “What to Do ...?” was the program given by Eva Blanco, covering information on NSDAR and chapter organization and chairmanships. The next meeting will be at 1:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7, at the Prouty Building. The program, “Let’s Get Ready to Vote,” will be presented by Kami Hieronymus, Bureau County Clerk.

Program connects U.S. soybean farmers to breadth of industry ST. LOUIS – The U.S. soybean industry is a multi-faceted, global business, and 10 U.S. soybean farmers just got a closer look at how their soy checkoff works in that marketplace to all U.S. soybean farmers’ benefit. Sponsored by the United Soybean Board’s Audit and Evaluation (A&E) Committee, the See for Yourself program connected these farmers with their checkoff investment, providing transparency into the soy checkoff and allowing farmers to find out more about the many end uses for U.S. soy. “The See for Yourself program was an eye-opening experience,” said Sam Showalter, an Iowa soy-

bean farmer and See for Yourself participant. “To see how the checkoff works around the world and how the world looks up to us for some of our practices was incredible.” The program concluded in August in Costa Rica, a country that imported 100 percent of its soy from the United States in the 2014-15 marketing year, a true checkoff success story. Participants heard from INOLASA, the sole soybean-crushing plant in Central America. The checkoff, through the United States Soybean Export Council (USSEC), partnered with INOLASA to increase U.S. soybean consumption

in Costa Rica, taking it from 33 percent of its imports in 2014 to 100 percent in 2015. While in Costa Rica, the participants also learned about the soy-fed fish industry from Martec Industries, a company dedicated to the production, processing and marketing of seafood, especially red snapper. The checkoff invests in marketing and promotion of soy in fish feed and helped Martec incorporate soybean meal into its rations. The fish are raised in cages in the Pacific Ocean, and their feed includes roughly 18 percent soy, all of which comes from the U.S. The program also made

stops in St. Louis and Panama. In St. Louis at the USB headquarters, participants learned more about the checkoff’s work to maximize farmer profit opportunities through investments in infrastructure research, new industrial uses and high oleic soybeans. The checkoff is focused on key strategies around soybean oil, meal and sustainability – ensuring U.S. soybean farmers remain competitive in the future. Infrastructure discussions continued as the participants went through the newly-expanded Panama Canal. The canal’s recent expansion doubled the waterway’s capacity, helping to ship U.S.

soy to foreign markets faster. Foreign soy buyers often pay as much attention to the timeliness of deliveries as they do the price, so the canal’s expansion increased U.S. soy’s competitiveness on the global scale. “It’s incredible the amount of soybeans that move through the canal and the time saved because of this new expansion,” said Adam Hendricks, Kentucky soybean farmer and See for Yourself participant. “In discussing the Panama Canal, we learned that about 44 percent of our exported soybeans from the U.S. pass through the Panama Canal, so it plays an important role in

meeting global demands.” While they knew little of the checkoff’s role prior to the program, the farmer-participants dove right in to better understand the checkoff and the uses of soybeans around the world. “The farmers on this program really got their eyes opened to what the soy checkoff does for them as a farmer and marketer of soybeans,” said Keith Tapp, Kentucky soybean farmer and A&E Committee chair. “In all of our locations, I think the participants saw a wide range of activities demonstrating how the checkoff works for them and all U.S. soybean farmers.”

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Genealogical Society will feature DePue resident Brian Benkse at its next meeting beginning at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 22. The public is invited to hear Benkse speak on the topic of “Tips and Tricks to Finding Your Ancestors in Slovenia and America” at the society library at 629 S. Main St. in Princeton. His Slovenian or Yugoslavian/ Austrian paternal ancestors settled in Seatonville, Coal Hollow, Cherry and Spring Valley, where they worked as coal miners, mine supervisors, stone cutters, fishermen, policemen, businessmen and musicians. Benkse started in 2006 to learn more about his ancestors and their burial places. He worked at BCGS

and other local genealogical and historical societies. His research also took him to Clark County, Wis. Not only did he research his own lines, but also researched the ancestors of his wife, Cheryl. In all, he compiled 10 binders of family information. As typical, he found the information needed from foreign countries to be challenging. He will share the steps needed and his research experiences as well as some of the photos of their trip to Slovenia in 2014. For more information, call BCGS at 815-879-3133 or stop by during regular hours of operation, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. The next opportunity to research on Saturdays will be Oct. 1.

One-man comedy at Festival 56 goes underground with Streisand PRINCETON — True fact: The basement of the barn on Barbra Streisand’s Malibu estate contains a mall of faux shops housing her various collections of dolls, antiques and costumes. Everything else in Jonathan Tolins’ hilarious one-man show, “Buyer & Cellar,” is unbridled imagination. Festival 56 will produce “Buyer & Cellar” in a limited engagement of just two performances, at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16, and 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17. Kody C. Jones, last seen in Festival 56’s “Treasure Island” and “Complete Hollywood (Unabridged),” portrays struggling actor Alex More, as well as other characters including Streisand herself, in an outrageous scenario that muses on fandom, “aspirational living,” and the perfect worlds we attempt to construct around ourselves, whether in our lives, in our homes, or merely in our minds. Alex is offered the oddest of odd jobs and finds himself not only minding the store(s) in the underground mall, but also becoming intimate with a modern legend. Are they employer and employee? Clerk and customer? Best friends forever? As Alex wrestles

Sean Rowe at Princeton Coffeehouse on Sept. 17 PRINCETON — Singer-songwriter Sean Rowe will perform at the Princeton Coffeehouse at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17. The coffeehouse is located at the Open Prairie United Church of Christ, 25 E. Marion St. in Princeton. Doors will open at 7 p.m. Delivering his songs with an almost other worldly baritone voice, Rowe has drawn the attention of national media. National Public Radio’s All Things Considered said of his vocals: “He can just crush granite with that voice. It is so powerful.” The Wall Street Journal compared his singing to “the ecstatic intensity of late-‘60s Van Morrison and stark subtlety of late-era Johnny Cash.” Born and raised in Troy, N.Y., Rowe started playing music as a child. He received a bass guitar from his father on his 12th birthday and later an acoustic guitar from his uncle. Still based in upstate New York, Rowe has developed a national following for his music. He enjoys performing at clubs and other public venues, but also has a special fondness for the intimacy of house concerts.

Sean Rowe will bring his singer-songwriter show to the Princeton Coffeehouse at Open Prairie United Church of Christ at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Doors open at 7. In 2009, Rowe recorded his first album, Magic. It led a reviewer to write: Sean Rowe would captivate listeners no matter what he was singing. His deep, rumbling baritone delivers tales of lives held in suspension, people balanced between night and day, darkness and light, life and death. Which is not to say Rowe’s songs are negative or downhearted. They’re just brief, impressionistic snapshots of this world …” (source: Crawdaddy). In 2012, Rowe recorded a second album, The Salesman and the Shark. Both albums were released under the

Anti-Records label. By then, Rowe had become noticed. He performed his song, “Downwind,” the following year on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. Sponsors of the Sean Rowe show are Tony Morrow and Stephanie VanOrdstrand. Admission is $15 at the door. Fair trade coffee, tea and homemade desserts will be available. The coffeehouse offers traditional and modern folk, blues and bluegrass music, monthly August through May. For more information, visit www. theprincetoncoffeehouse.com or call 815872-6501.
