The attack of the Japanese beetle

By Donna Barker [email protected]

PRINCETON — Japanese beetles haven’t been this bad in this area for a long time, according to Master Gardener Marshann Ent-whistle of rural Princeton.

If Bureau County resi-dents look in their yards and see a plant leaf that looks lacy and all that is left of the leaf is the seams, then Japanese beetles have paid a visit, Entwhistle said.

Japanese beetles feed on the foliage and fruits of several hundred species of fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs, vines, and field and veg-etable crops, but some of the hardest hit are roses and linden, birch, maple and apple trees, Entwhistle said. On roses, the beetle eats not only the flower but also destroy the buds, she said.

Japanese beetles will attack plants ferocious-ly, and people need to be aggressive and attack back as soon as they see the beetle. Physically removing beetles from plants can be an effective control mea-sure in small areas. For those who choose, people can pick the beetle from the plants and place the beetle in soapy water to kill them, Entwhistle said.

People can also use a chemical Sevin spray on the Japanese beetle, but it is highly toxic and needs to be sprayed at night, so children and pets are not around the spray. The important thing is to follow instructions very carefully and to not use more than recommended.

Some places sell bags which can be used to catch Japanese beetles, but Ent-whistle said she does not recommend them because they draw beetles to the plants.

Of course another answer is to hire a professional lawn service to take care of the problem, Entwhistle said.

Are minority drivers in Bureau County more at risk of being pulled over and ticketed by law enforcement officials than their Caucasian counterparts?

Nine years ago, Illinois launched an effort to identify racial bias in police traffic stops. Under the act, police officers were required to record specific data about each and every stop, including total stops for Caucasian and minority drivers, rea-son for the stop, and the outcome.

The key number in the study is the ratio number, obtained by dividing the esti-mated minority driving population by the percentage of minority drivers stopped.

The Illinois Traffic Stops Statistics Study for 2012, otherwise known as Illi-nois’ racial profiling study, was released July 1. The report showed minorities driv-ing in Illinois have a 19 percent greater chance of being pulled over by local law enforcement agencies than do their white-skinned counterparts.

That statistic comes from the ratio num-ber, which rose from 1.16 in 2011 to 1.19

for 2012. A ratio of 1 would indicate that the percentage of minority drivers stopped by police is equal to the estimated minor-ity driving population, while a ratio of 2 indicates that a minority driver is twice as likely to be stopped. In 2012, 70 percent of the state’s law enforcement agencies had ratios below 1.25, while 13 percent had ratios of 2 or greater.

Data supplied by Bureau County law enforcement agencies show local ratio numbers vary widely.

SPRING VALLEY — Construction on the new addition to John F. Kennedy School in Spring Valley is progressing at the scheduled pace.

“There’s been a considerable amount of work taking place,” architect Bill VanDu-sen of Allied Design Consultants told the board at Wednesday’s meeting.

Stored materials have been brought to the site, and several trades from electri-cians to heating and cooling have been working simultaneously to keep the pace. The goal is to have the buildings enclosed by the time colder weather arrives.

The underground storm sewer has been dug and is about 90 percent complete; the main sanitary sewer is nearly 90 percent complete, according to VanDusen. The geo-thermal well field is nearly finished, and the piping that connects the wells will be next on the list.

There have been some issues with poor soil conditions leading to some areas needing to be excavated deeper than anticipated. So far, this has been only a few spots, but they are keeping an eye on it. Midwest Testing Service has been diligently testing the soil.

The soil required an entire wall of the gym to be dug deeper.

“They had to excavate down,” VanDusen said.

VanDusen and Superintendent Jim Hermes recently visited the plant where the pre-cast walls for the building were being made in Iowa. Hermes showed the board a slide show depicting the process for the walls and hopes to have the walls delivered in the first week of August.

There were three change orders needed for the project. They are eliminating the cable television installation at a savings of $3,900; expanding power to an area where an out-building may be built in the future; and the geothermal field needed to be shifted 40 feet due to issues with a drainage ditch.

The dog days of summer: Everyone screams for ice creamIzzie, an 8-year-old yellow Lab, beats the summer heat on Wednesday afternoon with an ice cream treat from the Princeton Dairy Queen. Izzie’s owner, Lynette Hanna, says Izzie would probably like to be a daily ice cream customer if she could but is usually allowed only a weekly treat. Though temperatures are expected to cool off a bit this weekend and through next week, into the mid-to-upper 80s, Izzie is pretty sure that’s still hot enough to merit another stop for ice cream.

Unfortunately, the sea-son for Japanese beetles is far from finished and people will need to watch for them through July and August and into mid-September, Entwhistle said. Japanese beetles live only about a month, but during that time they lay eggs in the ground which will become grubs

next summer, she said.Though the onset of

Japanese beetles appears to be heavy in the Bureau County area, not all parts of the state are experi-encing the same level of activity, according to the July 2013 University of Illinois newsletter.

As reported in the newsletter, adult Japa-nese beetles continue to be spotty throughout the state with many areas

having low numbers and correspondingly minor feeding damage on trees and shrubs. However, there have been high numbers and damage in northwestern Illi-nois from New Bedford, Macomb and Wyoming, as well as reports of high numbers in north-cen-tral Illinois in the Rock-ford area.

BCR photo/Donna BarkerLeaf damage caused by the Japanese beetle is seen in trees near the Bureau County Republican newspaper, located in the Princeton Technology Park. The work of the Japanese beetle can be detected by the lace-appearance skeleton of the damaged leaf.

The Japanese beetle was first discov-ered in the United States in the early 1900s. Less than 60 years later, it had spread to 22 states and today is even more widespread across the country.

DiscoveryScientifically known as Popillia japon-

ica Newman, Japanese beetles were first discovered in the United States in 1916, in a nursery in southern New Jersey. It is thought the larvae arrived in the soil surrounding the roots of plants that had been imported from Japan several years earlier.

SpreadingOnce in the United States, the

Japanese beetle spread quickly. Infestations in Iowa, Missouri and 22 states east of the Mississippi River

were apparent just 56 years after its original discovery in the United States. The beetle has since spread to even more states in the south and west, but strict regulation has kept it from becoming well established in these states. While the Japanese beetle migrates on its own, it is also attracted to jet fuel and has thus been spread by aircraft.

SignificanceJapanese beetles in the United States

are considered a pest as they destroy plants and do not have many natural enemies in the area to control popula-tion increases. They are recognized as a serious threat to agriculture in many states, feeding on approximately 400 different plant species.

Prevention/SolutionJapanese beetles are not much of a

problem in their native Japan where nat-ural enemies keep this insect population under control.

ControlThere are several options for control-

ling a Japanese beetle infestation on your property. These include chemicals, biological control and habitat manipula-tion. The aim should not be to completely rid the property of Japanese beetles, but rather to control the beetle population in a given area.

Did you know ...?

The DePue Police Department had the lowest ratio number with 0.42, followed by Wyanet with 0.62, Ladd with 0.79 and the Bureau County Sheriff’s Depart-ment with 0.88.

While above 1.0, the Princeton Police Depart-ment was still lower than the state average with 1.13.

Exceeding the state average were LaMoille with 1.22, Spring Val-ley with 1.42, Dalzell with 1.75 and Buda with 1.91.

The study also found minorities were more likely to get a ticket than Caucasians. In 2012, 59 percent of minority drivers stopped received a cita-tion, compared to 51 percent for Caucasian drivers.

In Bureau County, agencies that gave a higher percentage of citations to minor-ity drivers than Cau-casian drivers were the Bureau County Sheriff (7.75 percent Cauca-sians ticketed/11.33 percent minorities ticketed), Spring Val-ley (13.37/18,03), Princeton (22.87/55.1), Wyanet (24.19/100) and Ladd (56.25/100.) While Wyanet and Ladd

gave all of their minori-ties a citation, Wyanet stopped only three minority drivers and Ladd stopped two.

Dalzell, DePue and LaMoille ticketed 100 percent of the driv-ers stopped by those departments.

Ticketing a lower percentage of minor-ity drivers was Buda, which ticketed three of the 12 Caucasian driv-ers stopped compared

to neither of the two minority drivers.

In 2012, 923 law enforcement agencies submitted traffic stop data, down from 2011 when 984 agencies sub-mitted data. There were 90 agencies that failed to comply including the Bureau, Cherry, Shef-field, Tiskilwa and Wal-nut police departments in Bureau County.

It won’t be long now ...

100 years of projects and still going strong

New water treatment plant almost finished

By Donna Barker [email protected]

PRINCETON — The light can be seen at the end of the water treat-ment plant tunnel in Princeton.

In his report at Mon-day’s meeting of the Princeton City Council, City Manager Jeff Claw-son said the new water treatment plant is near-ing completion and should be finished by the end of the month. There have been signif-icant gains made in the last couple of months, Clawson said.

The city broke ground on the $22 mil-lion water treatment plant project in early November 2011. The new plant, located on the northwest edge of town in the Princeton Technology Park, fea-tures a two-story build-ing, which houses the processing plant, and a one-story section of building, which houses offices and a garage.

Clawson said some parts of the interi-or aspects of the new plant have already gone online, but the plant won’t go online for con-sumption for a while yet. But the end is defi-nitely in sight, he said.

“It is finally looking like we can see the end of the tunnel and get that (project) finished,” Clawson said.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the new water treatment plant will replace the exist-ing facility at 3 N. Main St., which was built in 1930, with an expansion in 1964 and upgrades in 2000. The existing plant’s current capacity is 1.58 million gallons per day, which is about half of the design size recommended by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. The new plant has a four

million-gallon capacity.At Monday’s meeting,

Clawson also reported on a request from the Illinois Department of Transportation that all signs placed by ser-vice organizations and churches be removed from the right-of-ways along some of the high-ways in town to reduce clutter. IDOT is enforc-ing an existing proto-col, and the request is not involved in the city’s wayfinding direc-tional sign program.

Clawson also remind-ed residents that today, Saturday, is the annual Z Tour bike ride which begins and ends in Princeton. Last year there were 50 pre-registrations with more than 300 bikers showing up for the day. As of Monday, there were 220 pre-registra-tions, and the Z Tour organizers are antici-pating 500 bikers for today’s ride. Residents are encouraged to be aware of the bikers and to make sure everyone is safe.

In other business at Monday’s meeting, Commissioner Ray Mabry recommended the council take time from future meetings to go as a group to visit sites which have been the subject of coun-cil discussion, such as Darius Miller Park and the city’s recycling center. The on-site visits would give the council more hands-on awareness as a group, he said. Commissioner Joel Quiram seconded Mabry’s motion.

After further discus-sion, Mabry’s motion failed on a 2 to 3 vote, with Mabry and Quiram voting yes and Mayor Keith Cain and Com-missioners Bob Warren and Ray Swanson vot-ing no.


Bureau County 4-H Fair begins

ThursdayBy Donna Barker

[email protected]

PRINCETON — Photog-raphy, foods and crops, child development, inte-rior design, and animal science are just a handful of the hundreds of projects which will be showcased at next week’s annual Bureau County 4-H Fair.

This year’s fair will be held Thursday through Sunday at the Bureau County Fairgrounds in Princeton. The annual fair is part of the 4-H and Youth Development Pro-gram outreach of the Uni-versity of Illinois Exten-sion. Attendance is free to the public.

On Thursday, 4-H and Youth Development Pro-

gram coordinator Jennifer Caldwell said about 300 Bureau County young people participate in the 4-H program through 12 4-H community clubs and two special interest groups. Many of the 4-H club members prepare several projects for next week’s fair.

This year’s theme for the fair is “100 Reasons to Celebrate Extension” in observance of the orga-nization’s 100th anniver-sary. In recognition of the anniversary, anyone attending the fair from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday can contribute to a display on the stage celebrating 4-H where short stories and notes will be collected to tell things people enjoy about 4-H or other Exten-sion programs. The collec-tion will be used during the year after the fair as

part of Extension’s 100-year celebration.

Traditional projects which were popular with the start of the national 4-H program 100 years ago, such as crops, ani-mals, gardening, cook-ing and sewing, are still popular with young peo-ple today, Caldwell said. In recent years, there has been a growing popular-ity and creativity in other areas, such as the visual arts field, she said.

In addition to the hun-dreds of projects accom-plished this year by Bureau County young people, the fair will also feature special events including the Ag Olympics and the Fashion Revue on Thursday, a fair scavenger hunt and com-modity carnival on Friday, the 4-H sale of champions and awards program on Saturday and horse speed/

gaming events on Sunday.The 4-H program is a

great program that teaches young people about a lot of different things while still having fun, Caldwell said. The program opens many opportunities and doors for young people. They not only learn about a wide variety of things through their projects and programs, but they also learn important life skills, like how to make presenta-tions and speak in public, to evaluate and organize. They learn self-esteem and confidence, she said.

“Through 4-H, our kids are learning while having fun,” Caldwell said.

Again, next week’s annual 4-H Fair is open to the general public, not just those involved in the 4-H program, Caldwell said.

What do you buy a guy turning 85?Brothers charged with arson Hall Pantry

benefits from others’

generosity

SPRING VALLEY – The family of Fred Penick, Ladd, planned to cele-brate his upcoming 85th birthday with a surprise party and invited lots of friends and family. Their concern was gifts – what do you buy a guy turn-ing 85? Fred has every-thing he needs, and if he doesn’t, he goes and buys it. His children and wife knew they must make a decision about gifts, for guests were bound to bring a present.

With this is mind, Fred’s wife, Shirley (Hermann), and two children decided to ask all invited to bring a gift of food in honor of Fred ... for the Hall Town-ship Food Pantry. Earlier this month, Fred proudly dropped off 433 pounds of food for his neighbors in need. The load was partic-ularly appreciated as the pantry is currently strug-gling to keep food on the

shelves. This is normal during summer months when numbers increase and donations greatly decrease.

“We are in crisis mode at our pantry,” said Direc-tor Jan Martin. “This happens each summer – for a couple of reasons. First, with students home from school, parents are in greater need of food. Some parents who were able to meet needs dur-ing the school year, now find themselves visiting the pantry. Secondly, our inventory decreases when there isn’t a ‘giving’ holi-

day for food collection. All pantries are facing these same challenges. Happy Birthday, Fred Penick – because of you, we con-tinue to feed the hungry!”

Geri Gillan, also of Ladd, had the same idea. In celebration of her 50th birthday on June 25, Geri planned a birthday bash with friends and family. She, too, didn’t need gifts, so selected a few chari-ties to benefit by asking friends to donate to them. The pantry received 44 pounds of food – plus $170 to purchase more needed food. Martin said

this is particularly benefi-cial, for pantries are able to purchase food from the local food bank at a reduced rate.

“Cash donations are always gleefully accept-ed!” she said.

Age has nothing to do with giving goodness when it comes to gener-osity. Nine-year-old Eliza-beth Wenzel of Ladd invit-ed friends to celebrate her birthday and asked that they bring a gift ... for kids who need food. She deliv-ered nearly 50 pounds of food to the pantry and helped stock the shelves with her donations.

“What a lesson she has learned, proving that it is never too early to teach children the importance of helping others,” Martin said.

Martin said people don’t need a party to collect food.

“Next time you have reason to gather, think of your neighbors in need and put out a food collec-tion box,” she said. “Each donation, no matter the size, is greatly appreci-ated.”

STERLING – The two boys shuffled into the courtroom in shackles, one after the other.

The smaller of the two walked in first, looking so much like the taller boy behind him. Both had short-cropped hair, the younger’s blond, the older’s brown. Both wore rectangular glasses: The first’s frames were dark, the second’s wire-rimmed.

The 12 year old was swimming in an oversized green sweatshirt and jean shorts; his 16-year-old half brother wore a blue T-shirt and denim cutoffs.

Each is charged as a juvenile with residential arson, arson and crimi-nal damage to property exceeding $100,000, all felonies. If convicted, they could be held in a juvenile facility until they turn 21.

Investigators say the pair, who are staying with their dad and stepmoth-er for the summer, set a fire in a plastic recy-cling bin full of paper and cardboard behind Cindy Jean’s Restaurant in the historic downtown in Prophetstown around 2:30 a.m. Monday.

The ensuing blaze destroyed eight buildings, damaged two others, and left more than a half-doz-en people homeless.

Their grandfather, father and stepmoth-er, and the mother and grandmother of the older boy, who live in Wiscon-sin, lined one of the rows behind the young defen-dants, who appeared in Whiteside County Court’s eastern branch in Ster-ling, where juvenile hear-ings are held.

Their father, head back, eyes closed during the minutes of their arrival, now looked on intently. Tears from the older boy’s mother were momentari-ly stifled.

Seated on separate sides of the court, the two boys sat quietly as Associ-ate Judge Michael Albert began the detention hear-ing, first addressing the 12

year old, who lives with his mother in Wisconsin.

He will be kept on deten-tion, under 24-hour sur-veillance, at his father’s house, the judge said.

The boy raised his handcuffed hands to push his glasses up his nose.

“Yes, your honor,” he said, nodding strongly.

The 16 year old looked on, tears beginning to stream down his left cheek.

As the judge turned to address him, the teen’s face turned red, the tears falling a little faster. A bailiff handed him a box of tissues.

He will remain in cus-tody, the judge said, at the Mary Davis Home in Galesburg, the juvenile lockup where both boys spent Tuesday night.

The hearing was brief.“We love you!” their

family called, erupting in tears as they were escort-ed from the room.

Whiteside County Assistant State’s Attor-ney Carol Linkowski, and attorney Mark Holldorf of Sterling, who represents the 16 year old, declined to comment after the hearing.

It was the family who alerted authorities to the boys’ involvement in the fire, Prophetstown Police Chief Mike Fisk said.

In town for the summer, the two had been knock-ing on doors and ringing doorbells earlier in the evening; they sneaked out of their dad’s house later, Fisk said.

Flames engulfed the 150-year-old buildings about 2:30 a.m. Mon-day, but by that evening, a meeting already was underway in Prophet-stown to discuss plans to rebuild the historic struc-tures, the hulks of which were demolished Mon-day afternoon for safety’s sake.

The older boy’s next hearing is set for Tuesday at 10 a.m.; the younger’s for July 30 at 11 a.m.

Because the boys are charged as juveniles, Shaw Media Service is not reporting their identities.

30 hoursEvery once in awhile, Chicago

smells funny.I doubt if that tagline will be

used for any future marketing bro-chures, but it’s true. You can just be walking down the street, having a perfectly pleasant day, when all of a sudden, your nostrils catch a whiff of something unexplainable. It’s almost like the sewer system belched. This is just one of many things my finely-tuned senses picked-up on during a brief stay in the City of Big Shoulders.

My family and I recently took a mini-vacation to the city. I’ve always thought that Chicago is a nice place to visit, but please shoot me now if I ever have to live there. You see, I’m not exactly what you would call a “city per-son.” I grew up on a farm and any situation consisting of more than 15 people tends to put me a little on edge. So basically the whole time I was in Chicago, I was coming up with reasons why I wouldn’t want to live there.

My brain and I experience “information-overload” whenever we attend large cities together. You can imagine our anxiety when we stepped off the train at Union Station that Tuesday morning to begin the 30-hour whirlwind visit. It would be better if my brain and I took separate vacations.

There had to be easily 2 to 3 billion people inside that train station that day. That’s the head-count my brain and I came up with. I immediately grabbed my daughter’s hand fearing she might get caught up in the overcrowded frenzy and carried away by the throng of people. I might possibly have called out to the other family members to stick together because I figured our chances of survival

were better as a group than indi-vidually. I’m not sure, I might have been hyperventilating.

As we emerged from the bowels of the train station to the bright daylight of Adams Street, I heard the siren of an emergency vehicle. Those sirens went on constantly for the next 30 hours. I told my family that they were all respond-ing to robberies and murders. The city never shuts up. Ever.

And then there are the people. They are everywhere. They’re walking, standing, sitting, driving cars, riding buses, taking taxis, reading newspapers, listening to music, talking on cell phones ... I personally counted over 10 billion sweaty bodies as we ambled up Michigan Avenue. These people came in all shapes, sizes, colors, languages, odors, etc. And they all seemed to be in a hurry. To where, I haven’t a clue. The only thing my brain and I were sure of was that they were all up to no good. I held my daughter’s hand a little tighter.

Don’t get me wrong. Chicago’s not all bad. Along with the stuff that gets me jittery, we also went to the beautiful Lincoln Park Zoo, took a boat ride on the Chicago River, road the Ferris wheel at Navy Pier, and we saw the big silver bean at Millennium Park. My daughter got to go to her own personal version of heaven, The American Girl Doll Store. I even got to go to one of my favorite places at the corner of Clark and Addison, also known as Wrigley Field, the home of the Chicago

Cubs. They took on (and beat) the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim that particular evening. Looking back, all in all, it was a pretty good trip.

As we were taking a city bus back to our hotel after the game, my nerves were finally starting to settle down, and I was actu-ally beginning to enjoy myself. That was when I furtively asked my son, “How many people on this bus do you think have killed a guy?” To which he replied, “Wow. You aren’t going to believe this, but I was just thinking the exact same thing. How many do you think?” I told him more than six but probably less than 11. He thought my estimate was on the conservative side. He’s always been such a worrier.

The next day, even though we had a fun time, I couldn’t wait to get back on that train for the return trip home. I started feel-ing a little less stressed when I looked out and saw cornfields on both sides of the train car. As I sat there listening to the clickety-clack of the rails underneath us, I smiled as I realized that my family had survived another trip to the city.

I felt even better as the train pulled into the station and I could see our car in the parking lot wait-ing for us. As I lifted a couple of bags of American Girl parapher-nalia off of the overhead luggage compartment, my nose caught a whiff of my armpits. This was fol-lowing a hot, humid afternoon of walking around the city, it’s lake-front and Navy Pier.

Maybe Chicago doesn’t smell so bad after all.

It’s been ages since I read “The World According to Garp.”

I don’t remember much about the book except for a story one of the characters told about going to the ocean when he was a little boy.

His mother always warned him to watch out for the undertow, but he didn’t quite understand what she meant.

So he kept a watch out for the Undertoad. He had a clear image of a giant frog lurking below the sur-face of the water, ready to snatch over-inquisitive little boys who might stray too far from the shore.

Like I said, I don’t remember much about the book, but that image has stuck with me ever since.

I told my husband about it, and throughout the years, whenever something bad unexpectedly hap-pened, I’d blame it on the Undertoad.

Maybe I liked the image so much because it fit my understanding of life. Whenever I worried about confessing some childish escapade to my mother, it would always be all right. She would understand; I would be forgiven, and life would go on.

But, you see, it was the things I didn’t worry about that would get me into trouble. Still is, to be honest. Things I think are just fine often turn around to bite me when I least expect it.

Now I know it’s the Undertoad that got me.It’s been almost 12 years that I’ve been writing

for the BCR. I remember when word of the job first came up. I said to my husband, “I can’t imag-ine anything more wonderful than writing for the newspaper!”

Well, I got the job, and while it hasn’t been all wonderful, it’s been an amazing experience.

I like to think I’ve made a couple of politicians squirm over a carefully-phrased question. I hope my presence – and that of all of us local govern-mental beat reporters – has helped keep proceed-ings up front and honest.

But the real wonder of this job has been all of the people I’ve met.

I’ve gotten to meet the famous and the infamous, the powerful, and those who have no voice.

I’ve met people who try their best to avoid talk-ing to me, but I’ve met so many more who are happy to share their time and thoughts and energy with me.

I’ve had the honor of both laughing and crying with many of you.

But this is my last column, and this part of my life came to an end on Friday.

I ran into the Undertoad last year, and he tried his best to knock my feet out from under me. But with the help of family and friends, I’ve come up out of the water. The sand is once again firm, and the view up yonder is looking mighty pretty ... but I discovered my path along the shore has changed.

I’m moving ahead, and that means saying good-bye.

I will miss you and the challenges of telling your stories, but you’ll be coming with me in my heart. And I look forward to all the opportunities and new horizons that lie ahead of me.

It’s been an amusing game for many years to imagine – in five words or less – what you would like to have written on your tombstone someday. I’ve liked reading some of the other answers, but I could never come up with anything for myself.

But now I’ve figured it out.I’d like my tombstone to read “The Undertoad

never got her.”Thanks for everything ... and good-bye.BCR Staff Writer Barb Kromphardt can be

Nothing strikes as much fear in the heart of a cow calf operator as a phone call in the sum-mer. It usually comes an hour or so before dark. The message is short and makes your stomach do flip-flops: Your cows are out!

So far this year it has happened only once, but it came as I getting out of the shower, getting ready to go to the band concert in Princeton. Luckily, the neighbor who called helped me get them in and helped in fixing the fence. By 8:30 that night, we were finally able to go home and hit the showers, again. Electric fencing is quick and inexpensive to put up, but deer, weeds, mul-tiflora rose and falling branches tend to render it useless. Once cows get out they seem to think it is their right to get in the neighbors’ fields, so for the last two weeks, a lot of time has been spent walking fences and keep-ing them clear of debris and in working order.

After a wet and late start, the crops are final-

ly looking good. Corn is tasseling, and the beans are growing. We also just finished our second cut-ting of hay and are in good shape with about 169 bales of winter feed. Mowing of waterways and roadsides along with cleaning out corn bins takes up a lot of our summer also.

The cows and calves are doing great and are in very good condition. The wet cool spring pro-moted good grass growth in the pastures. In late June, I started mowing parts of the pasture to keep the grass from get-ting too tall. Cows won’t eat taller older grass, and if it gets too tall, it may scratch their eyes as they get their heads down to the more ten-der grass underneath. Scratched eyes may lead to “pink eye,” which left untreated may lead to blindness. Mowing keeps

the grass fresher, reduces the chance of pink eye and helps to control weed populations.

One big problem facing cattlemen in the sum-mer is fly populations. Flies can cause stress in the cattle, which reduces weight gain and milk production. There are two main fly species that the Midwest cattlemen need to worry about — the horn fly and the face fly.

The horn fly is a small blood-sucking insect that feeds on the backs, sides and shoulders of cattle. Face flies feed on the secretions around the eyes and heads of cattle. In addition to irritating the skin, they can spread pink eye.

To help in controlling these flies, producers can use insecticide rubs, insecticide dust bags, oil rubs and sprays, and we feed Rabon lick tubs. The Rabon goes through the cow’s system and ends up in their feces. Since the feces have the insecticide, and this is where the flies lay their eggs, it controls the

population by killing the eggs. Every 10 days or so the cows come up to the barn for salt, fresh water and the lick tubs. When we see them in the barn, we can check for fly con-trol and if needed, spray them then with extra controls.

We also control flies on the calves by giving them insecticide-treated fly tags. This was done in late May when we also gave them shots for worms, red nose, black leg and back, poured them for lice, and short term fly control.

We also castrate the bull calves at this time. Since I knew I had about at least 20 bull calves, I thought it would be a good idea to save the “Rocky Mountain Oys-ters” to fry up at a later date. The vet saved the “oysters” in a palpa-tion glove (a long sleeve used when pregnancy checking) to keep them clean and in a safe place. When we were all finished for the day, I put the glove in the refrigerator to cool the “oysters” before a final

cleaning, and I headed to the shower. Just as I got out of the shower, I heard my wife screaming “What the @#%* is in my refrigerator?”

I thought she was gone for the afternoon, and I would have things cleaned up before she got home. How wrong I was! A lot of fast talking and promises got me out of trouble, this time, but it will be the last time I keep “oysters!”

On a final note I hope to see everyone this weekend at Beef and Ag Days, Friday night at Soldiers and Sailors Park and Saturday at the fairgrounds. Friday night enjoy the singing and the all-beef hot dogs and rib eye sandwiches. Saturday take in the Jackpot Steer and Heifer show and a full meal of beef, sweet corn and ice cream.

Don’t forget, we do have drive-up service both days if the weather is too hot.

Beef. It’s what’s for dinner.

4-H Fair Ag Olympics to be held

Prime Timer Committee to reorganize

Illinois crop yield surveys to begin late July

Sale of Champions

Agricultural summary for July 15PRINCETON – The

Bureau County Farm Bureau is sponsoring an Ag Olympics to be held during this year’s 4-H Fair. The Ag Olym-pics will begin at 3 p.m.

Thursday. The event is open to all 4-H mem-bers. Participants will play an assortment of fun games involving agri-culture. The games may be messy and wet, so

participants are encour-aged to dress for a mess. There will be team events and prizes. There will be no fee for par-ticipation. Teams will be determined the day of

the event. Participants must be present to play.

For more informa-tion about this event or to register, contact the Bureau County Farm Bureau at 815-875-6468.

PRINCETON — Farm Bureau is currently in the process of reorga-nizing the Prime Timer Committee, specifically targeting members 55

years of age and older. The committee was formed as an opportu-nity to meet regularly to facilitate networks between members with

the same interest. This committee will assem-ble for tours, education-al seminars and social gatherings. Please con-tact the Farm Bureau

office at 815-875-6468 with your information if you would like to be added to the Prime Timer mailing list for future activities.

SPRINGFIELD – Enu-merators representing the Illinois Field Office of USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service will soon begin collecting data that will be used to estimate the corn and soybean yields that Illinois farmers will harvest this year.

The Objective Yield survey consists of 280 sample plots of corn and 230 sample plots of soybeans that are randomly selected from fields across Illi-nois. Each month until

plants reach maturity, enumerators measure and count the number of plants and ears of corn or bean pods in each plot. At maturity, samples of the crop are collected for weighing at the agency labora-tory, which permits a more accurate yield determination to be made.

“Information collect-ed during the Objective Yield survey is used to set monthly yield fore-casts that have a far-ranging effect on agri-

culture and agriculture related industries,” said Mark Schleusen-er, state statistician of the Illinois Field Office. “Farmers, buyers, pro-cessors and grain-han-dling industries rely on unbiased and accurate predictions of supply to make informed deci-sions concerning mar-keting, product access and transportation.”

The first forecast of corn and soybean pro-duction will be avail-able Aug. 12. Monthly forecasts will then be

updated Sept. 12, Oct. 11 and Nov. 8. After harvest, final produc-tion statistics are pub-lished in mid-January, based on laboratory weights of crop samples and a mail and tele-phone survey of pro-ducers.

The Illinois Field Office is the local administrator of pro-grams for the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service and is a cooperator with the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

PRINCETON — The 4-H Sale of Champions Committee will sponsor the 15th annual Bob Tal-bot Memorial 4-H Sale of Champions at 3 p.m. July 27 at the sale barn during the Bureau County 4-H Fair held at the Bureau County Fairgrounds in Princeton.

The Champion and Reserve Champion of the following market divisions — beef, swine, sheep, goats, waterfowl, rabbits and poul-try — will be offered for sale at the auction. In addition, each 4-H member exhibit-ing a market livestock proj-ect will be eligible to auc-tion an animal in the sale.

Owners of the livestock, 4-H youth, will have the option of auctioning their animals. At the discre-

tion of the youth and the winning bidder, the auc-tioned off animal may then be returned to the youth owner for completion of the show season, returned to the youth, or may be taken possession of immediately after the auction by the highest bidder.

Individuals and business-es are welcome to attend the sale to bid on these livestock champions or they may make contribu-tions to help support this sale. Supporting businesses and individuals will be rec-ognized at the 4-H Sale of Champions.

Questions and inquiries regarding this event may be directed to Sale of Champi-ons Committee Chair Don Monier at 815-379-9347.

Crops were growing at a steady pace last week and were looking good. Howev-er, more rain will be need-ed to continue this pattern in crop development. The weather has been favor-able for weeds and pests, so spraying was in full swing last week. Precipita-tion averaged 0.53 inches throughout the state, 0.27 inches below normal. Tem-peratures across the state averaged 74.9 degrees for the week, 1.5 degrees below normal. There were 5.9 days suitable for field work last week. Topsoil moisture

levels across the state were rated as 16 percent short, 75 percent adequate and 9 percent surplus.

Corn conditions were rated as 1 percent very poor, 5 percent poor, 25 percent fair, 50 percent good and 19 percent excellent. Corn average height reached 63 inches, 15 inches greater than the previous week. Soybeans blooming pro-gressed to 32 percent with soybean conditions rated as 2 percent very poor, 4 percent poor, 21 percent fair, 61 percent good and 12 percent excellent.

Princeton Greater Open is moving on upBy Kevin Hieronymus

[email protected]

The Greater Princeton City Open Golf Tournament will be like the old TV series, the Jef-fersons. It will be moving on up.

This year’s event has been moved up to Aug. 3-4 to attract more golfers, including high school students, who may not play after the start of the

school season. The tournament was held in late September last year, renewed after a 21-year layoff.

The format is the same as last year, including 18 holes at Wyaton Hills on Saturday and 18 holes at Hunter’s Ridge on Sunday. Golfers will be flight-ed according to USGA Handi-cap and/or after the first day’s results.

More flights are being planned for both men’s and women’s divisions, including a new super-senior division. It is open to anyone within the PHS No. 500 District or who is a member of Hunter’s Ridge, Wyaton Hills and Indian Hills golf courses in Tiskilwa.

Lorita Helman of State Farm will sponsor this year’s event.

The fees remain the same at

$55. Registration forms are at all local golf courses.

Defending champions are Danny Nelson and Katie Far-rell, both former BCR Golfers of the year.

Bearing down: Four former Chicago Bears will be attending the ServiceMaster Restoration by DSI Charity Golf Outing for the American Red Cross on Friday at Hunter’s Ridge Golf Course.

The lineup includes for-mer Bears Emery Moorehead, Steve McMichael, Michael Richardson and Dwayne Bates, the athletic director at LaSalle-Peru High School. Registration and lunch starts at 11 a.m. with a shotgun start at 12:30 p.m. Cost is $65 per person. For more information, call 800-954-9444.

Earning his stripesWilcoxen recognized as IHSA Official of the Year

Whalen, Illini Elite win national title

By Kevin [email protected]

Ken Wilcoxen has earned his stripes.

The longtime official from Princ-eton will be honored as the Illinois High School Association’s Official of the Year for boys basketball in Sat-urday’s 14th annual IHSA Officials Conference in Peoria.

The IHSA will recognize an offi-

cial of the year in each of its 19 sports.

“The best thing about this is fol-lowing in my dad’s footsteps and having some great partners to work with made the difference to get that award,” Wilcoxen said. “I’ve had a real good collection of partners over the years.”

Wilcoxen, 54, has officiated IHSA basketball and football for 34 years, including three state finals in girls

basketball, two in boys basketball and four in football. He got his start umpiring summer league ball in his hometown of Walnut at age 16, a position he holds today alongside his son, Kris.

The Officials Conference is expected to draw more than 500 IHSA officials to Peoria, where they will team with other officials to con-tribute in general and sport-specific

By DereK [email protected]

PERU — The Illini Elite region-al volleyball team recently won a national title in Orlando, Fla. One of the team mem-bers was St. Bede junior Samantha Whalen.

Whalen is a libero for the Illini Elite, which is comprised of talented volleyball players from southern and central Illi-nois based out of Bloom-ington. They competed in a national tournament with nearly 125 other club teams winning a national championship in their age division.

“There were 15 classes and our team won our division,” Whalen said.

The team is now nationally ranked which will determine where the

girls will play in next year’s tournament, Whalen added. The Illini are now ranked 57th in the field.

Whalen made the Elite team at tryouts.

“I am so blessed that I got this oppor-tunity. The (other)

girls that I have met I know that we’re going to be friends. We all share the same love of the game. And, we all have a drive for work-ing. There’s no words to describe a win because you are on the court and you are not (thinking) about anything but the game and you see that your team got that 25 points first…you know you did a good job.”

Whalen will return to her role as defensive specialist for the Lady Bruins this fall along-side senior libero Morgan King.

Volleyball is a year-round sport for Whalen as she plays for St. Bede from the mid-summer through the fall and then joins her club for a sea-son that begins in Jan-uary and runs through December. Whalen hopes to one day play volleyball in college.

“Sam is also an honors student at St. Bede. She’s an excellent student/ath-lete and a joyful person-ality with her peers and teachers,” SBA coach Dawn Williams said.

The prep season starts up Aug. 14 for the first day of practice for the Lady Bruins.

Brayton to play for AugustanaROCK ISLAND – Hail-

ee Brayton will continue her education and volley-ball career at Augustana College

The former St. Bede Lady Bruin standout will join Coach Jamie Wal-ters’ Viking pro-gram as a junior this fall after play-ing two seasons at Illinois Valley Community Col-lege.

Brayton, a 5-11 middle hitter, was a two-year

team captain for coach Julie Sherbeyn at IVCC. She helped lead the Eagles to a 22-14 record as a sophomore, earning

All-Arrowhead Con-ference honors and all-tournament recog-nition at the Harper and Kankakee invita-tionals. She finished the 2012 season with 243 kills, 137 digs, 75 block and 64 ser-vice aces. Brayton led

IVCC in kills and blocks as a freshman.

At St. Bede, Brayton

excelled in both volley-ball and basketball. She helped lead Coach Dawn Williams’ Lady Bruin vol-leyball team to a 25-10 record as a senior, earn-ing all-area honorable mention from the Bureau County Republican.

In basketball, Bray-ton was a two-time BCR first team all-area selec-tion and Co-Player of the Year as a senior. She is the daughter of Daryk and Kathy Brayton of LaSalle.

Walnut native Ken Wilcoxen, now of Princeton, has been named as the 2013 IHSA Official of the Year for boys basketball. He is shown here work-ing one of his three state finals for boys basket-ball.

FINAL NOTICE OF DECISION REGARDING PROJECT TO BE LOCATED IN A FLOODPLAIN

Publication Date: July 20, 2013 TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES,

GROUPS, AND PERSONS: As required by Executive Order 11988, this is a notice of findings and public explanation for pro-posed activity in a 100-year floodplain. The Village of LaMoille proposes to use funds allocated through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for disaster recov-ery for the following proposed project: Drainage Improvements. The proposed project would con-struct storm sewers ranging in size from 12-inch to 36-inch throughout the Village of LaMoille and the surrounding area. The storm sewers would discharge to Pike Creek. The Village of LaMoille hereby states that a por-tion of the proposed project would occur within an identified 100-year floodplain. However, the Village of LaMoille has reached a decision that this is the only practicable alternative for this proposed project. This decision is based on an evaluation of the following alternatives: The proposed outfalls and the portions of the proposed storm sewers in the 100-year floodplain are needed to convey storm-water efficiently from the Village of LaMoille to Pike Creek. An alternative would be to improve drainage ditches, including installing drainage tile. A portion of this alternative would also be in the 100-year floodplain and this alternative would be less effective in conveying stormwater and address-ing LaMoille’s flooding issues. This alternative was therefore rejected. In the absence of the proposed project, the Village will remain subject to severe flooding. The Village’s stormwater system is inad-equate to effectively convey stormwater during major storm events. The no action alternative was therefore rejected. The Village of LaMoille would, however, ensure that this proposed project conforms to all state and local floodplain protection standards and would install riprap at the storm sewer outfalls to prevent erosion and sedimentation to Pike Creek. The fol-lowing mitigation measures would also be imple-mented to minimize the potential adverse impacts: implement and maintain the applicable best man-agement practices for erosion and sedimentation control and stormwater management in the Illinois Urban Manual of the Association of Illinois Soil and Water Conservation Districts, available online at http://aiswcd.org/IUM/; ensure no net fill in the 100-year floodplain; revegetate cleared areas as soon as possible; and do not introduce invasive plants to the site. The Village of LaMoille has additional infor-mation on this proposed project, which can be reviewed at the LaMoille Post Office, 98 Franklin Street, LaMoille, IL 61330. Interested persons may also call Steve Stouffer at 815-530-4680. Written comments on this proposed project are invited and must be received by Steve Stouffer at LaMoille Village Hall, 68 N. Main Street, LaMoille, IL 61330 by July 29, 2013. All such comments will be taken into account by the Village of LaMoille prior to its decision on the proposed project.
