GMOs: The labeling law New law will help consumers, farmers By Goldie Rapp news@tonicanews.com

PRINCETON — President Barack Obama recently signed into law a bill that will require labeling of genetically-modified (GMO) ingredients. It’s been a long battle fought between both the pro-GMO and anti-GMO positions leading up to the passage of this new

wallets from a jump in prices at the grocery store, this bill will help prevent an expensive patchwork of state-by-state mandatory GMO food labeling laws,” he said. Russ Higgins, an ag educator with the University of Illinois Extension office, also stated he felt it was an advantage the bill supersedes state requirements, especially after states like Vermont had already began passing its own GMO requirements. “Trying to imagine the retailers — if the states all had different rules, what would that entail them to do?” Higgins questioned. “I think it’s important a fed-

law. Now that the ink has dried, many are saying neither sides are 100 percent agreeable to the bill. While some points in the new law are still unclear, the one requirement that’s for sure is food packages will have to include either a QR code, a symbol, 800 number or plain text if the ingredients contain GMOs. Illinois Farm Bureau (IFB) President Richard Guebert Jr. made a statement on behalf of the IFB saying it was pleased with the labeling bill, which would prevent a rise in food prices. “In addition to protecting Americans’

eral law was passed rather than what could have been potentially 50 individuals states addressing this issue.” Higgins pointed out how that could have trickled down and impacted costs for producers, who are already concerned over the low commodity prices. “If you’re out on the countryside, any enthusiasm for this great crop we’re watching is just tempered because of commodity prices. It’s just a little sobering in the farming community right now,” he said.

Salina Breckenridge is pictured with one of her award-winning Call ducks, the first breed of bird she entered in poultry competition. A bantam breed, Call ducks are now generally kept as pets, but their first recorded use was as decoys by hunters in the Netherlands, although it’s believed they originated in the Far East.

OGLESBY — As IVCC celebrates the return of its ag program for students preparing to enter the field, it’s also partnered with the University of Illinois Extension, the Illinois Farm Bureau, the Illinois Council on Best Management Practices (CBMP), the Soil Health Partnership and the Illinois Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) Program to help build the knowledge of current farmers and agronomists. IVCC hosted its first Ag Field Day on Aug. 2, and the topics focused on cover crop management for ag retailers, the importance of nutrient loss reduction strategies and the impact of soil health on the industry. “We’re trying to bring the idea of best management practices to them, but for them to do them for their own economic reasons, for their own profit. These practices are also good for the environment,” Jim Isermann, field manager for the Soil Health Partnership, said. The day’s program was designed for agronomists and CCAs, and there were approximately 25 people in attendance from throughout the local area. “We’ve had a lot of interest and good questions. Some of the farmers here have already been experimenting and are looking to build their knowledge base,” Russ Higgins, commercial agriculture educator for the Extension, said. During his presentation, Isermann explained why the program was valuable to local ag retailers and why thorough knowledge of cover crops is necessary. “They (farmers) want to work with an ag retailer who knows what’s going on and has the same concept of farming as they do, and those farmers are growing,” Isemann said.

OTTAWA — Illinois State Police have released the names of the individuals involved in a six-vehicle accident on Interstate 80 westbound near Mile Marker 93 Monday, Aug. 1. Donald E. Breckenridge, 69, of Lostant began the crash sequence by failing to slow for construction. He struck a vehicle driven by Darrel E. Scott Jr., 26, of Highland, Ind. — with passenger Abigail A. Bohstedt, 25, of Highland, Ind. — into a

third vehicle driven by Augenijus Stankevicius, 55, of Bolingbrook. All the vehicles continued into separate vehicles driven by Octavio Vargas, 34, of Warrenville; Orville D. Akers, 62, of Rifle, Colo.; and Luke A. Kozak, 35, of Streator. Scott Jr., Bohstedt and Vargas all suffered fatal injuries due to the crash. Breckenridge was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid a crash.

press release, the school and the Extension are in the early stages of utilizing approximately 149 acres of farmland to develop a soil research program. The research’s initial focus is to find effective ways of reducing cropland nitrogen loss, an important environmental concern linked to the health of the Illinois and Mississippi River watersheds. “We’re trying to promote practices that help with soil health and with nutrient management. We’re supposed to decrease our nitrate-nitrogen load by 15 percent by 2025,” Higgins said. The day also featured presentations on Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategies by Lauren Lurkins from the Illinois Farm Bureau; Consumer Demands Facing the Agriculture Industry by Monsanto’s Kevin Hoffman; Herbicide Management of Cover Crops by Pete Fondle of the CBMP; and CCA Value and Specialties by Luther Smith a certified association executive (CAR). Higgins said “Our joint goal is to build on resources and collaborate on programming that supports the area’s ag industry, including ag producers and agri-businesses, and serve IV’s new agriculture students.”

SPRING VALLEY — Past Commander Art Buck of the Spring Valley American Legion has his fingers crossed ... and so do several other members of the Spring Valley VFW and American Legion. In a press release from Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Peru), she acknowledged there is a resolution on the table to name the new Route 89 bridge that connects Bureau and Putnam counties the Illinois Valley Veterans Memorial Bridge. Rezin sponsored the resolution (HJR 142). She said the resolution has already passed the House, and she is hopeful the Senate will pass it when lawmakers return to Springfield in November. “Illinois veterans are very special and deserve recognition, respect and admiration for their dedication to protecting our state, nation and freedom around the world,” Rezin said. “This is a small token of our appreciation as we can never do enough to honor those who fought so bravely for the freedoms we enjoy today. The veterans we honor paid the ultimate price, and it is important that their sacrifices are never forgotten. “All our veterans are true American

heroes, and they embody what our country and state stands for — freedom, democracy, integrity and compassion,” Rezin said. Buck said the combined efforts of the Spring Valley VFW and the Spring Valley American Legion are the ones spearheading the request to name the bridge in honor of Illinois Valley veterans. “(The idea) originated from a couple of guys. We all think we should honor our veterans in town. They deserve it,” Buck said, who is a Vietnam veteran. “It would really be a pat on the back for us. “We are just holding our breath and hoping it does go through,” Buck said of the request to name the bridge for area veterans. “At the meeting last month, they were just ecstatic.” Buck said both the American Legion and VFW are in dire need of more members, as current members are getting up in years. “We need members so bad; it’s pathetic,” he said. Spring Valley Mayor Walt Marini, who is also a veteran, said he thinks naming the bridge for area veterans would be honorable. “I think it would be very nice to honor all the veterans,” Marini said. Construction began this year on replacing the current Route 89 bridge.

From Page 1 “I know farmers who are getting farms because of these cover crops, and we’re actually seeing landlords seek out farmers because they’ve got them.” Isermann said the Soil Health Partnership is looking to build 100 demonstration sites through the Midwest. There are currently 18 sites in Illinois, and the goal is to get 30 sites within five years. He predicted they’d likely meet that goal next year and then continue to grow. The Ag Field Day program is expected to continue to grow as well. “As this continues we want to move into more of the nuts and bolts of cover crop management. That would be the next step, to talk about species, varieties, what they can be integrated with; that was a small part of today. We’re building the interest of why we need to be looking at cover crops and soil health for industry reasons and nutrient loss reduction strategies. We’ll be looking more at in-field demonstrations of cover crop seedings and actually getting more in depth with the management,” Isermann said. According to an IVCC

Winged From Page 1 It was the best of her roughly 75-bird flock though that helped amass the bulk of the impressive ribbon collection. Even more impressive is that it’s only her second year of competing in the poultry building. Breckenridge showed two Call ducks last year, but this year she has also added chickens, turkeys and ducks to her care. While the chicken breeds are kept pure, her ducks are allowed to interbreed, and the results provide one of Breckenridge’s favorite aspects of raising birds. “I like when you get to see what they look like when they hatch and grow up,” she said. During the school year she cares for the flock in the afternoon, and she spoke of all the work involved, especially the effort needed in providing their water and also of having to clean up after them. “They poop a lot,” she laughed. Breckenridge’s mother, Shauna, a 4-H leader, explained how they have an incubator and brooder in their basement. Once the chicks are old enough they are taken to a heated shed and then eventually join the rest of the birds in the coop. They are bred in the spring, but this is the first year they’ve also been allowed to hatch themselves. Eggs are either eaten by the family or sold. In the spring the chicks are sold at the community-wide auction in Flanagan, and all the proceeds go back into caring for the birds. Salina’s favorite type of chicken is a Mille Fleur Bantam and she was surprised to learn there are chickens with feathered feet. Her favorite chicken is Millie, and Salina can quickly spot her among the others in the flock. Her favorite birds, however, are her ducks, and they roam casually, free range,

Her free-range flock continues to grow as does her knowledge of care and breeding. through the yard — something the family credits for helping with their bird’s appearance. “The judge said he could tell that I take very good care of them,” Salina said. “We don’t leave them in cages either, that helps keep them very clean,” Shauna added. A roaming group of chickens provides another benefit as well. “They do a good job of eating insects too, I’ve noticed a huge decrease in the Japanese beetles in our yard,” said Shauna. Salina wants to add to her knowledge of birds in the future and hopes to begin raising additional breeds of birds, especially some of the exotic pheasant breeds. Shauna spoke of what increases anyway,” he said. “But also said they found no scientific suggestion or data that said GMOs are dangerous.” Higgins pointed out GMOs have been around since 1996. He explained how widespread they are at the grocery store. “When you look at the byproducts like corn and soybeans, they suggested the average grocery store had anywhere from 60 to 65 percent of the materials you buy could have GMO products,” he said.

with Tender-1716 and the 1931 Pumper, which was the first TVFD motorized fire truck. Plans are progressing for the pancake and sausage breakfast and memorial service scheduled for Sept. 11. The tornado siren was activated during one of the recent severe storms. A rotational cloud was sighted west of Tonica. The storm siren will be activated when a warning has been issued by the National Weather Bureau, the Emergency Services Disaster Agency (ESDA) or a confirmed sighting of a potentially dangerous weather condition by trained storm watchers. Citizens should seek shelter in a safe place due to the threat to life and property. Unlike the fire siren, the storm siren is sounded continuously for more than two minutes. There is no all-clear signal. When the siren sounds, duck and cover in a safe place. Mechanical maintenance and repairs were made to Ambulance 1-M-24, Tender-1716, Rescue-1715 and Pumper-1712. TVFD is considering the possible purchase of a second thermal imaging camera (TIC). This camera allows firefighters to detect heat sources in zero visibility situations and can help save lives and property. The department received one donation of more than $100.

UIS professor to relocate endangered birds to Illinois SPRINGFIELD – Tih-Fen Ting, associate professor of environmental studies at the University of Illinois Springfield, will translocate 10, 6-week-old ospreys, an endangered fish eating bird of prey, from Virginia to Illinois thanks to the help of the Illinois Audubon Society. The society is contributing $3,000 to transport the birds by plane in collaboration with the aviation program at Southern Illinois University. The birds were flown into the Decatur Airport on July 6, and were processed and tagged the following day at the Illinois Raptor Center,

“They’re adding the shooting sports. Salina did archery this year, and they also do air rifles and shotguns. Also this year we’re going to be offering a hunting and outdoor skills class which will be teaching the ethics of hunting. It’s a SPIN (Special Interest) Club, a spinoff of 4-H, which is also what the robotics group is, and you don’t have to be a member of 4-H to join the Spin Clubs. There’s also one for sewing, horses and several other things,” Shauna said. As Salina explores her many interests through 4-H, her favorite part of it will likely continue to be feathered, and it won’t be surprising to anyone if her blue ribbon collection grows along with her flock.

The following information was reported at the Tonica Volunteer Fire Department’s August meeting. There were 17 emergency calls during July, with year-to-date calls of 106. The Tonica Volunteer Fire Department (TVFD) responded to three accident calls, seven ambulance requests, one structure fire, one grass fire, one mutual aid to Oglesby to establish a Life Flight landing zone, one change of quarters to Oglesby, two storm watcher activations and one false alarm. Fire training included hands-on use of stabilizing equipment, hydraulic spreaders, and cutting equipment used for vehicle extrication. The vehicles were donated by Ace Auto Salvage. There was also training reviewing the station, trucks and equipment. EMS training covered legal issues and also the use of epinephrine for medical emergencies. The department also participated in mutual aid training with Oglesby; training covered fire streams, nozzles and hose advancement. A draft of a pending standard operating guideline for helicopter operations was presented to membership for review. A special training session will be held in Tonica with the Life Flight helicopter. The TVFD participated in the Oglesby Days parade

Illinois is one of the goals of a multiyear U.S. Fish and Wildlife grant awarded to Ting through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). The objective is to re-establish ospreys in Illinois where they are listed as endangered. “We’re happy to help with this important project. This gift, I believe, will make our members proud, plus have potential to educate many more people regarding our effort to bring back this tremendous bird of prey,” said Tom Clay, executive director of Illinois Audubon Society.

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 Terri so persistent in our world that many Simon people have acceptCOMMENTARY ed it as a standard 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. Tonica News Editor Terri Simon can be reached at tsimon@tonicanews.com.

Coloring outside the lines ... My name is Simeon Bystry, and I am planning to write columns for the newspaper. I am 12 years old and going into seventh grade in the fall. I am home-schooled. You might know my sister, Amelia, because she has been writing columns for the newspaper for several years. She is going away to college in the fall, and I am snatching her job. I really want her room as well, but my mom says “No!” Our family has many pets, but one of them is my very own. I have a lizard; her name is Scout. She is a Bearded Dragon, and she’s 2 feet long but still growing. She likes the color pink, and I know that because whenever she sees something pink, she will try to move toward it. She’s very easy to take care of except for feeding her. It isn’t that feeding her is hard, but she loves crickets. I can’t feed her crickets from the wild because they could hurt her, so I have to go to Tanks about twice a month and buy 200 of them. I keep them in a container in my room, but sometimes they jump out of the box when I am getting some out to feed Scout, and they disappear. For some unknown reason, my sisters are usually the ones to find them, and I know that one has been found by the scream. Also, I share a room with two of my brothers, and they don’t like the cricket chirping they hear all night. I try to put a shirt over the container to muffle the noise. We are raising Dubia roaches in our basement to try and eliminate the need to buy $15 worth of crickets every other week. They are quiet and cleaner

Simeon Bystry COMMENTARY bugs. Whenever I want to make my sisters mad or get back at them for being mean, I just go down and get a roach. They don’t move fast or fly, but they sure are big and ugly. I am a fanatic about Legos. I have Legos in my room and the playroom. My mom always badgers me to pick them up, but I never do, and my brothers get mad at me when they step on them and will often kick them out of the way. Those little buggers are very easy to lose and very hard to find. The other day I was looking through a bucket full of them, and I counted 2,235 pieces. This is just one bucket, and I have four buckets full. Sometimes I make vehicles for Scout to ride in. She prefers convertibles. In addition to the buckets of Legos, I have 19 sets. I collect any kind of sets, and for Christmas, this awesome family gave us a ton. I play with them just about every single day. Some are city, some superheroes, some police and some of them are fire trucks. I love playing with them with my brothers and sisters. I really like playing the piano, and I love to sing. Right now I’m working on “Fur Elise” by Beethoven. I’ve been taking piano lessons for six years from Jeannie Brown. She is so nice, and I love talking to her about all the wildlife around her house. I love

listening to the radio and my favorite artists are Imagine Dragons, Macklemore, Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift One final interesting thing about me is my love for facts. My mom says I’m an expert in non-fiction. I’m not really, but I carry around in my head a lot of useless facts about World War II, weather, reptiles and other animals. Like did you know, the proper way to extract venom from a snake would be to get a small bottle, put a balloon on tight over the top. Find a poisonous snake and squeeze his neck just so, to make him open his mouth and poke the fang through the balloon. The venom will drip out. I have never tried this, but I’ve seen it done on shows. Or the other day when we were having the storms I saw a super cell; these are clouds that have the ability to produce bigger and more powerful tornadoes. I know so many facts about various things that sometimes people think I am lying. The other day my mom asked what the temperature of the roach habitat should be, and I told her the exact temperature, and she didn’t believe me. She looked it up and found out I was right. I am so happy to have this job of writing columns. I can’t wait to tell you all about my family and my interests. I know you have heard about my family from my sister Amelia’s columns, but there are two sides to every story. Simeon Bystry is a 12-year-old, home-schooled student from rural Princeton.

I am the one who prays constantly for my children because I know I can’t do this alone. I am THAT mom. I am the one who cries in the shower because sometimes, life is just too hard. I am THAT mom. I am the one who has tried desperately to show my children proper priorities, work ethic, morals, reliability, commitment and character. I am THAT mom. I am the one who is determined to set a good example with my actions and attitudes, and not only my words, but fails miserably at times. I am THAT mom. I am the one who, at the end of the day, sleeps peacefully in my hand-me-down bed because I am confident that God and I have done a good job, laid a firm foundation and given my children the best I can with what I had, and that no matter how far they wander, they are never lost. I am THAT mom. I am the one who knows that God loves them more than I do, and I repeat that phrase 1,000 times when I start to worry, knowing He will take care of them. I am THAT mom.

Concerned volunteers have come together to support countywide programming through fundraisers including a mail campaign, raffle and fall event in October. Gail Hayward-Kapp is the chair of the group. Members include Terri Sancken, Gus Rinker, John Thomas, Chris Utegg, Chad Wilson, Kate McLachlan, Janele Lukach and Peggy Enquist, with help from many others. The LaSalle County Home and Community Education Association is working closely with the group to sponsor events.
