Carrying a concealed handgunQuinn takes amendatory veto action

PRINCETON – Earlier this week, Gov. Pat Quinn took amendatory veto action on legislation that will allow and regu-late the carrying of concealed handguns in public places.

PRINCETON — Whether or not everyone agrees with the American Medical Asso-ciation’s recent recognition of obesity as not just a prob-lem but rather as an actual disease, there is no doubt obesity can cause a lot of problems, according to local health leaders.

On Tuesday, Bureau/Put-nam County Health Depart-ment Administrator Diana Rawlings and health educa-tor Joy Jaraczewski talked about obesity in Bureau and Putnam counties.

Disease is a strong term for obesity, but obesity is a strong malady, Rawlings said. Whether obesity is defined as a disease or not, the fact remains there are some serious concerns which go with being overweight or obese, she said.

For instance, weight issues may lead to heart disease, diabetes, breathing problems, and strains on the entire body, as well as overall well-being and men-tal health issues, Rawlings said. With children, being overweight or obese may have long-term effects on their lifestyle habits, she added.

PRINCETON – City Hall upgrade projects, a spe-cial planning session and a new planning director were announced at Mon-day’s meeting of the Princ-eton City Council.

At this week’s meet-ing, Princeton City Man-ager Jeff Clawson gave an update on upgrade work to be accomplished at City Hall, dealing primarily with accessibility issues with the building. More specific information on the upgrade project will be brought to a future coun-cil meeting, Clawson said.

In addition to the acces-sibility need, the City Hall project also includes a few exterior repairs and possi-bly a small amount of tuck-pointing. Inside the build-ing, there will be a few minor projects to accom-modate staffing changes.

BCR photo/Goldie CurrieA dilapidated home in DePue is demolished early Friday morning. The village had taken control over the property and hopes someone will buy the lot and improve the property.

Demolished!DePue gets

rid of a problematic

homeBy Goldie Currie

[email protected]

DEPUE – After a long wait, the village of DePue finally got rid of an eyesore in the com-munity on Friday morn-ing.

The old, dilapidated house located at 117 Lake St. was torn down in less than an hour by Starline Construction of Ladd.

The structure had been caving in over a period of time due to a large nearby tree that had fallen onto its roof.

The village spent more than a year trying

to gain ownership of the property, so the home could be demolished and the property sold.

Mayor Eric Bryant said the home had been an issue for the neigh-borhood for a long time. He said the structure was dangerous to chil-dren who trespassed onto the property and home to unwanted ani-mals.

“It created a habi-tat for things we didn’t want in town,” he said.

The property had gone into foreclosure, and in order for the village to gain the title of it, it had to pay back taxes. Bry-ant said he hopes when it’s sold, the village will gain some of the money back.

“It’s a good thing, and hopefully, we will have someone interested in the property,” he said.

Bryant said this isn’t the first time the vil-lage has taken hold of a property to clean it up. Before he was mayor, an old theater building located on East Street was purchased by the village and torn down.

“It was an eyesore and a danger with the bricks falling off of it,” he said.

The demolition was a cost for the village, but the work was something that had to be done, said Bryant.

Bryant said there are still several homes throughout the commu-nity which the village is working on — trying to get homeowners to either clean them up or tear them down to make the community more presentable and a safer place to live.

From one weather extreme to another

From drought to anything but dry

By donna Barker [email protected]

PRINCETON — Following the 2012 drought season, the 2013 year looks to be anything but dry.

According to Illinois State Clima-tologist James Angel, the statewide average precipitation for 2012 was 30.37 inches, which was 9.83 inches below normal and the 10th driest year on record in Illinois. So far this year, all but March have expe-rienced above average precipitation numbers for the first six months of 2013, Angel said.

In fact, April was recorded as the fourth wettest April on record, and May was recorded as the 12th wet-test May, Angel said. Though this past June was not record-breaking, the month did receive rainfall which was above the state average.

Reviewing statewide statistics, Angel said the average precipita-tion statewide for June 2013 was 5.2 inches, which is nearly one inch above the 1981, 2010 average. It’s interesting to note that June’s aver-age precipitation was more than double the June 2012 total of 1.8 inches, which was a drought season, Angel said.

In Bureau County, the Princeton Water Treatment Plant recorded a total of 2.88 inches of precipitation in June 2013, compared to a total of 1.51 inches in June 2012 and a total of 5.39 inches of precipitation in June 2011.

The two wettest areas in Illinois this past June were in northern Illi-

nois and through a southern area of the state just south of Interstate 70, Angel said. Both regions had rainfall totals in excess of 8 inches and even 10 or more inches in some locations.

“Most of the remainder of the state had close to average precipitation for June with 3 to 6 inches,” Angel said.

Looking at the first six months of 2013, Angel said several sites around the state have actually received more precipitation during the first six months of 2013 than they did in all 12 months of 2012. Among those sites was the Quad Cities area, which received a total of 27.25 inches of precipitation in 2012, compared to 29.29 inches of precipitation in the first six months of 2012, he said.

In an interview with the Bureau County Republican, News Channel 8 meteorologist James Zahara said the Quad Cities area is experiencing very different weather conditions than one year ago.

“What a difference a year makes. Last June (2012), the worst drought in decades was becoming a reality,” Zahara said. “This growing season has been excessive in the form of rain and flooding rains.”

As far as the weather for the next few days, Zahara said the Quad Cities areas will have high tem-peratures around 90 degrees with a chance of thunderstorms Sunday through Thursday.

“Fortunately, the Quad Cities out-look shows that precipitation should remain normal through the August. Let’s keep our fingers crossed,” Zahara said.

My son would have been 23 now and I can only imagine the memories we would have continued to make. The memories I have of the above picture is after doing yard work then enjoying a short nap

before dinner. When he was much smaller he had his own little recliner that sat by mine and we took many naps along side each other. Once he got bigger his chair broke. It did not take him long to find he could sit on the arm rest of my chair. We did this for many years until we broke my chair. We, as parents, have had to endure a lot since we lost him. I kept that broken down recliner and just dealt with it for 20 years. When you lose a child the pain is so deep. As you part with things that remind you of them the pain is like a dagger being twisted in your side. It may not kill you but it will never let you get comfortable with it. One of my most recent and hardest things was parting with that chair. I wanted to just jump on it as they carried it out and say “nope, changed my mind”, but I did not. As always we are very proud when we say we are Blaine’s parents. Take a minute and remember him as you knew him and never forget he was a good friend and a great son.

At Monday’s meeting, Clawson also announced the city has hired Brian Gift of Peru as the city’s new planning director and zon-ing officer, beginning July 22. Gift replaces Pete Nelson who was recently named to the city clerk/human resources position.

Clawson also gave an update on a new “wayfind-ing” signs, or destination directional signs project. The plans for the project are now in the hands of the regional office of the Illinois Department of Transportation for a review of the locations for those new signs. Once IDOT has approved the proj-ect, the city can order the new signs and get them installed, Clawson said.

Clawson said there are 21 wayfinding signs on five routes which point people in the direction of specific sites like Princeton High School, Zearing Park or the Bureau County Fairgrounds. The routes are north to south on Main Street, south to north on Main Street, east to west on Peru Street, west to east on Peru Street and north at the Sixth Street and Peru Street intersection.

Clawson said he will not be sure of the total cost of the signs project until the state completes its final review. IDOT’s review may have an impact on the number of signs the city will need, he said.

The city does have $5,000 in its current budget for the sign project. If the project goes over that amount, the city will complete as many routes as possible this year and finish up next year. He does not anticipate the total signs project to exceed $8,000.

In other business at Monday’s meeting, Clawson announced a planning session has been scheduled for 6:30 p.m. July 29 at City Hall. The same format will be followed as in previous planning sessions, with the council, department heads and himself discussing various projects and issues facing the city. The meeting will be open to the public.

etables or fruits a day.The local health

department’s prima-ry efforts are to edu-cate people about the problems associated with being overweight or obese, Jaraczewski said, adding those pro-grams are focused pri-marily on the schools and educating children about the importance of physical activity and health food choices.

The health depart-ment has recently received the “We Chose Health” grant which is being used, in part, to develop a work site

wellness initiatives pro-gram.

Starting with the local health depart-ment, the pilot pro-gram includes 10-min-ute walk breaks for the staff and will also look at starting bike rides for the staff. As the program is developed, the health department hopes to reach out to other businesses to implement their own worksite wellness ini-tiatives for their staffs as well.

Developing a healthi-er lifestyle doesn’t have to cost a lot of money, Jaraczewski said. There are many parks in the

area, as well as the walking and bike trails. Residents can also enjoy walking around their communities and neighborhoods and gar-dening, she said.

As far as healthi-er eating, people can take advantage of the local farmers’ mar-kets during the sum-mer months, and there are a plethora of good resources out there on healthy food choices and recipes, she said.

Though some people may feel overwhelmed when it comes to tack-ling a weight issue, that doesn’t have to be the case, Jaraczewski said.

People can start small. They don’t have to join a fitness club or pur-chase workout equip-ment at the beginning unless they are very serious about making the changes, she said.

Rawlings agreed.“Just make it

(healthy lifestyle) a pri-ority, even if you have to start small,” Rawl-ings said. “We can all make small steps, but first you have to want it. If you want it, then there is a better chance of positive changes becoming habit.”

cago that can have a lot of influence on the decisions made for the state. Thompson added the government is look-ing past the citizens who live downstate from Chi-cago.

“I trust the majority of people will follow the law, and if they don’t, it’s my duty to bring them to the court system,” he said.

According to the press release, Quinn’s changes to the concealed carry bill include revisions to establish a law that “bet-ter protects the safety of Illinois citizens.” Below are stated flaws Quinn has pointed out in the current legislation:

• Alcohol: The current legislation allows people to carry guns into estab-lishments serving alco-hol and that the state must keep guns out of any establishment where it is served.

• Home-Rule: the cur-rent legislation would strip the authority of home-rule governments to enact future laws on assault weapons to com-munities.

• Signage: The bill would allow loaded guns in stores, restaurants, churches, children’s entertainment venues, movie theaters and other private properties, unless the owner visibly displays a sign prohibit-ing guns.

• Employer’s rights: The bill infringes on an employer’s abil-ity to enact policies that ensure a safe and secure work environments.

• Number of guns and ammunition: The bill doesn’t provide a cap on the number of guns, or on the size or number of ammunition clips that may be carried.

• Mental health report-ing: While the bill seeks to improve mental health reporting, the measures are limited by the lack of clarity in the notifica-tion process.

• Clarification of “con-cealed:” The definition of “concealed firearm” includes the phrase “mostly concealed,”

which would allow a licensee to walk around in public with a portion of their gun exposed.

• Open meetings act: Under the bill, the meet-ings and records of the Concealed Carry Licens-ing Review Board are exempt from the Open Meetings and Freedom of Information Acts.

• Law enforcement: The bill does not require an individual to immedi-ately disclose to a public safety offer that they are in possession of a con-cealed firearm.

The state has been given a court-ordered deadline of July 9 to legalize carry weapons.

Declare your independence with My Social SecurityBy Mike Weitl,

Social Security Operations Supervisor in Peru

Independence Day is a good time to declare your independence from heavy traffic, long lines and visits to crowded offices by taking important matters into your own hands.

Anytime, anywhere, Social Security’s website is waiting to let you take care of important matters yourself, indepen-dently, without the need to visit or call an office.

All you need to do is visit www.

socialsecurity.gov/myaccount to set up a My Social Security account so you can do business with Social Security the easiest, fastest and most convenient way.

We’re only halfway through 2013, and, already, more than six million people are registered for a My Social Security account. They use it to easily get information and service — without needing to visit an office or make a phone call.

You can use My Social Security to obtain a copy of your Social Security

statement to check your earnings record and see estimates of the retirement, dis-ability and survivor benefits you and your family may be able to receive.

If you are already receiving benefits, you can join the parade. We recently expanded My Social Security for those receiving benefits; now you can use your account to view, save and print a benefit verification letter, check your benefit payment information and even change your address and your phone number in our records. You also can start or change your direct deposit information.

You can do this all from the comfort of your home.

Whether you are currently getting Social Security benefits, or you are planning for that day in the future when you do, you can easily access all your important Social Security informa-tion by creating a My Social Security account. Just visit www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount.

Declare your independence from traf-fic and lines by saving a trip to the office and going online to www.socialsecurity.gov.

Danny’s story — A young father’s journey fighting cancer

By Jeanie GelsominoSpecial to the BCR

Editor’s Note: Danny Gelsomino is the recipi-ent of the Jay Braida Memorial Golf Open to be held on July 13)

“I will tell you when you are dying.” — Dr. L. Horvath, oncologist

Christmas 2011“Danny, you really

need to get that cough checked out.”

“I will, Mom, after I get back from New York.”

February 2012“Something’s going on,

Mom, because my left eye is blurry, and I can’t use my right hand. I also have pain in my right leg.”

“Danny, call your doc-tor right away.”

“My doctor wants me to have a brain MRI and CT scan.”

“Vince, I think our son had a stroke.”

“Mom and Dad, you have to come as soon as you can. I have to go to the hospital … There’s something seriously wrong.”

On Feb. 6, Danny Gelsomino, a Princeton native, began a very unexpected and devastat-ing journey.

“Danny, you have incurable Stage 4 Adeno-carcinoma (lung can-cer), and the cancer has spread to your spine and your brain,” Dr. Hor-vath said as she calmly explained what her words meant.

Danny’s primary phy-sician also confirmed the diagnosis and said Danny’s cancer was “all over,” and only God knew how long he would live.

No parent should ever have to hear the words that their child has incur-able cancer.

Our lives would be for-ever changed.

Danny’ sister, Amy, a long-time nurse, knew the seriousness of Danny’s cancer. Phone calls had to be made to family and friends. There was total disbelief.

Danny never ques-tioned God’s plan for him but was determined to do everything possible to live and fight his horrific disease because of his children, Kasey, 13, and Nathan, 10.

The days in the hos-pital and the days that followed were filled with constant fear, countless tears, heart wrenching realities and so many unanswered questions.

How could this happen to Danny … so young and so good?

How could this hap-pen to such a great father whose life revolved around his kids?

How could this happen to a man who worked so hard to provide for

his family in a career he loved?

How could this happen to a loving and devoted son and brother?

How could his family and friends face a life without Danny being a part of it?

How could he have lung cancer? Danny never smoked.

Radon, which is a can-cer causing radioactive gas, was considered a possible cause because the home he lived in for 11 years had twice the amount of radon when it was tested.

The Surgeon General has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. Only smoking causes more lung cancer deaths.

Radon is colorless and odorless. It forms natu-rally from the decay of radioactive elements, such as uranium, which are found at different lev-els of soil and rock.

However, the cause of his cancer will probably never be determined for sure.

Danny’s oncologist had to take a medical leave of absence, so he was assigned to another oncologist, Dr. Linda Fer-ris.

After extensive testing at Central Dupage Hos-pital in Winfield, Danny began an aggressive treat-ment plan.

He had 10 radiation treatments for the tumors in his brain. Hair loss and fatigue were side effects from those treatments.

Following radiation, Danny had two targeted infused chemotherapy treatments.

The treatments caused constant nausea, fatigue, emergency trips to the hospital because of dehy-dration and a five-day critical hospital stay. At this point in time he weighed 123 pounds and was very weak.

His immune system was constantly compro-mised, and his white

blood cells and red blood cells were consistently below normal. He was always prone to infection.

He had a tooth abscess and had to have a root canal. Due to the fact that his horrific pain was in his head, he had to have another brain MRI before a root canal could be per-formed. It took five days before the tooth could be treated.

His oncologist deter-mined he could no longer have infused chemothera-py because of the serious negative effects.

Danny continued to worry about his health but was more concerned about what his cancer was doing to his children.

Their lives had changed drastically, too.

Danny was too ill ini-tially to do the things he so enjoyed doing with them like taking long bike rides, playing cards and board games, shooting hoops in the driveway, attending Kasey’s Irish dance competitions, attending Nathan’s games, going to movies as a fam-ily and attending school activities.

The laughter in the Gelsomino household was almost non-existent.

During the summer of 2012, Dr. Ferris rec-ommended Danny take experimental chemo pills which were approved in the winter of 2011.

He began taking two chemo pills a day, and his oncologist finally found an anti-nausea pill to con-trol his constant nausea.

Weekly blood tests, frequent brain MRIs, CT scans and routine doctor appointments became Danny’s way of life.

And — day by day, week by week, month by month — Danny’s health improved.

According to Dr. Ferris, most of the patients who took the same experi-mental chemo pills didn’t have positive results.

Although Danny’s results have been good, he knows the pills can

lose their effectiveness at any time, based on cur-rent statistics.

Danny firmly believes the power of prayer has also been vital in contain-ing his cancer because so many people have offered prayers on his behalf.

He always has been and continues to be a source of strength for his entire family and friends.

During a routine brain MRI on May 6, another brain tumor was detected.

Danny simply said, “It is what it is.”

A team consisting of his oncologist, radiologist and a neurosurgeon deter-mined the tumor needed to be addressed quickly.

Danny had a Stereotac-tic radiosurgery proce-dure done on May 14.

Stereotactic radiosur-gery is a highly precise form of radiation therapy that focuses high pow-ered X-rays on a small area of the body.

Some types require a frame attached to the scalp. The frame is anchored with pins that go through the surface of the skull.

Following the proce-dure, Danny said it was the most “overwhelm-ingly intense” thing he ever experienced.

Danny had a follow-up brain MRI on June 25, and the procedure was successful. The tumor is still there, but it’s contained. He will have another MRI in three months.

Danny continues to take one day at a time and is focusing on creat-ing lifetime memories for Kasey and Nathan.

During art class, Nathan had to draw a self portrait. His T-shirt had the words — I Believe.

Nathan believes his dad will win his battle with cancer. His drawing was framed and hangs on a kitchen wall to remind all of us to continue to believe.

Needless to say, how-ever, Danny’s journey is ongoing.

I like antique shops. I spent a good share of my recent vacation in out-of-state antique stores — quaint, out-of-the-way places in the South that held a myriad of memories from an area I truly love. (Don’t ask me how I was able to fit four, oak dining room chairs in my vehicle on the way home ... not to mention the ones we had to FedEx!)

But I don’t have to go all the way to Nashville, Tenn., to get excited about antiques. While I would hardly consider myself a connoisseur of outdated relics, I enjoy strolling through the aisles and booths in and around Bureau County’s antique shops and taking step after step back in time. It’s fun, and on top of that, it tends to soothe my soul a bit. After all, there’s just something about being sur-rounded by the past that makes my heart smile.

My home is not filled with a ton of antique furni-ture, rather an eclectic mix of comfortable pieces that mixes today with yesterday. While the old items that live where I do mix well with newer pieces I own, I don’t mind telling you I often wonder who owned those old antique shop treasures before me. Would they ever have imagined someone would treasure something they regarded as an everyday item? I don’t know.

If you’ve strolled the aisles and booths of estab-lishments that specialize in yesterday’s treasures, no doubt you’ve also heard yourself utter things like ...

• “Oh, I remember this.”• “My grandma had one just like this.”• “Gosh, I sold this at a garage sale a few years ago

for a dollar.”• “Wow! I had one just like this when I was a kid.

I wonder whatever happened to it.”While there are always tons of items I like at

antique shops, you won’t ever see me on an episode of “Hoarders.” Instead, I tend to be very choosy, opting for only select items that really fit into what I already collect. While I have a great passion for old dishes, they have to be really something special — not necessarily expensive, but something I really like. And they have to be useable. I don’t like to buy dishes that only live in my buffet. I want to use them, enjoy them. For instance, I started a collec-tion of egg plates many years ago, and consequently, a family dinner doesn’t go by without me pulling one of my many old egg plates out and filling them with deviled eggs. Quite frankly, I’m really not a deviled egg enthusiast, but I just like the plates. Duh!

There’s other stuff I like — sugar and creamers, Wallace Nutting prints, old tablecloths, leaded glass, old books ...

But there’s one particular item I have never bought, yet I find them fascinating. Old postcards. I could probably sit for hours and sort through the boxes of postcards most antique shops sell. While I could care less about the picture on the front or the stamp on the back, what attracts me to them are the messages — usually written in a beautiful, long-hand script, by strangers I’ll never know to strangers who have long passed out of this world.

I read those words — many of them heartfelt sen-timents, and I have to wonder why a family member didn’t keep that postcard as a memory. How did it end up in an antique store? It’s the same thing with old photographs of families, babies — staring stoi-cally at a camera. Shouldn’t someone have wanted to hang on to those?

I guess my point to this rambling is that it’s fun to take a step or two back in time now and then. It reminds us of how life used to be — easier, simpler, yet also without what we refer to today as modern conveniences.

But just remember ... someday what we have now will also line the shelves of those antique shops ... and people will browse the aisles and booths and dream about a day long ago, when life was easier, simpler ... aaahhh, the age of antiquity.

2012-13 BCR Female Athlete of the Year

Tough love

By Kevin [email protected]

Lydia Stariha was the youngest of three girls growing up in the busy Stariha household. They would often play 2-on-2 games of basketball on the driveway at home with little Lydia teaming up with her father, Mike, playing against her older sisters, Sarah and Jil-lian. Their mother, Resa, attempted to officiate.

When Lydia was much younger, they gave her an advantage where she had three seconds to dribble, pass or shoot. Then she was fair game.

Calling it a friendly family game might be a stretch.

“Once the three sec-onds were up, Jillian and I showed no mercy,” says Sarah, now 23. “We hap-pily stole the ball from her or blocked her shoot. Jillian and I enjoyed beat-ing Lydia up. The games never ended in a victory for either team, instead they usually ended with tears and blood. Lydia

learned very quickly how to fight back against her two older, bigger sisters.”

As the girls got older, and Sarah starting play-ing in college and Jillian (now 21) got into rugby, the family games became a lot more physical. In good Stariha fashion the emphasis was always on defense, so the harder you played, the better the game was.

In the long run, those family games of hard knocks helped to mold and shape the young-est Stariha sibling into the athlete she is today. She carried on the fam-ily tradition in fine form, earning a rare hat trick for First Team All-BCR Honors in volleyball, bas-ketball and softball.

With that, she is now the 2012-13 BCR Female Athlete of the Year. She is the first Academy girl to earn that honor since Katie Zemann shared it in 2000.

One who has greatly appreciated and admired Lydia Stariha’s talents and desire for the game

is Lady Bruins basketball coach Tom McGunnigal. He knows she had big shoes to fill, and did it well, leaving her mark at the Academy in her own way.

“It had to be tough on Lydia coming in to St. Bede after two older sis-ters going through and setting such a high stan-dard athletically and academically. But all to Lydia’s credit she made her own trail and set her own standards and never once allowed for compar-isons,” he said.

“She is a strong leader and a feisty competitor and really made a name for herself and did not allow any shadows of her sisters to get in her way. Give a ton of credit to her

BCR photo/Kevin HieronymusLydia Stariha was a fountain of strength for the Lady Bruins’ volleyball, basket-ball and softball teams at the Academy. As the youngest of three sisters to play for the Academy, she came by her toughness naturally. See Stariha Page 12

parents for raising her that way. Each of the girls in their own way were different but yet very similar in that they each had different strengths and weaknesses, better at one aspect of a sport than the other, but their smarts, instinct, and drive were unmatched in each of the classes that they were a part of. Lydia took on all chal-lenges and personally turned those into quests for herself that fueled her to be success-ful.

“Lydia had some pretty high benchmarks to hit so she did very well and left a tremen-dous mark, athletically and academically, and most impor-tant to me – personally! She is a great kid.”

Lydia says she feels like she was the lucky one growing up as the youngest child.

“Whenever we played together, I got to play against the good players and they had to play against me, but really, it’s awesome. They did so well at St. Bede, I knew I could do well.”

While admitting to a little pressure from the family stan-dards, Lydia called it a driving force, “because you don’t want to be the weak link.”

Of all the sports, basketball is her favorite sport because she said how you play is what you get out of it.

“I like that the harder you play the better you are. You have more control over the game,” said the IBCA Special

Mention All-State point guard. “You always want to go as hard as you can. Our parents always taught us to give 100 percent.”

In volleyball, coach Dawn Williams, who returned to the Academy last season, moved Stariha from libero to outside hitter to better utilize her all-around talents. She responded by scoring 106 points with 28 aces and adding 118 kills and 195 digs.

She capped her career at St. Bede this spring by participat-ing in the Lady Bruins’ softball team’s historic run to the State Tournament, finishing fourth in Class 2A.

“Going to state in softball was awesome. We made histo-ry in our school. It was a great feeling to go that far. That’s a new standard for St. Bede sports,” said the senior catch-er, who batted a team-high .455 with an area-best three triples and 17 stolen bases.

That accomplishment gave Stariha some bragging rights at home, saying of course she’s used that against her sisters.

“During the season, Dad always told me the last two winning captains were Jill and Sarah. I felt, I’ve got to step it up, too,” she said.

This summer, Lydia is already working on her train-ing workouts for Grinnell Col-lege where she will play both basketball and softball. She is excited to play for the Pio-neers, because they have “a great athletic program, but more importantly have really good academics.”

She will major in chemistry with a concentration of envi-ronment science to get into research.

When she comes home and finds her sisters there, the little sister home court advan-tage is long forgotten. Lydia is dishing it out as much as her siblings, in good old Stariha manner.

“When I when I started col-lege Lydia was in eighth grade. We’d play one on one and the game would be a little lop-sided. Today when we play one on one, she usually wins,” Sarah said.

And that’s the way they like it.Comment on this story at

Soil moisture levels remain slightly above normal

CHAMPAIGN – Soil moisture levels remained slightly above normal in the middle of June in Illi-nois, according to Jennie Atkins, Water and Atmo-spheric Resources Moni-toring (WARM) program manager at the Prairie Research Institute, Illi-nois State Water Survey, University of Illinois.

On June 15, soil mois-ture levels at 2 inches averaged 0.29 water frac-tion by volume (wfv) in Illinois, 9 percent above normal for the day and 2 percent less than May 15. This is a marked increase from the values of a year ago when soil moisture averaged 0.17 wfv, only

slightly above the wilt-ing point for most soils monitored.

Moisture levels were highest in southern Illi-nois with an average level of 0.33 wfv or 16 percent above normal.

Similar trends were seen at depths of 20 inch-es where soil moisture averaged 0.40 wfv, 8 per-cent above normal and 3 percent below the May 15 average. Moisture levels were 67 percent above the average from 2012.

Soil temperatures aver-aged 75.4 degrees F at 4 inches under bare soil, 0.2 degrees below nor-mal for the day. Tem-peratures are lower than

those from last year when soil temperatures aver-aged 79.6 degrees F.

The Illinois State Water Survey’s WARM Program collects hourly and daily weather and soil informa-tion at 19 stations across the state. Daily and monthly summaries can be found at the WARM website (http://www.isws.illinois.edu/warm/) and in the Illinois Water and Climate Summary (http://www.isws.illinois.edu/warm/climate.asp).

IDOA to offer recycling program for agrichemical containers

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois farmers soon will have a cheap and convenient opportunity to dispose of their empty agrichemical containers.

The Illinois Department of Agriculture has arranged to offer a free pesticide con-tainer recycling program this summer. Beginning in late July, sites throughout the state will collect the containers and grind them into small plastic chips that will be used to make shipping pallets, fence posts, drainage tubing, plastic lum-ber and other useful products.

“This program is an excellent example of the care Illinois farmers are taking to pro-tect our environment,” Agriculture Director Bob Flider said. “Since its inception, more than two million agrichemical containers destined for landfills have been collected and recycled into useful products.”

Metal and household pesticide con-tainers are not eligible for the recycling program. Collection sites will accept only high-density polyethylene, #2 plas-tic, agrichemical containers that are

clean and dry. Participants are respon-sible for rinsing them and removing all caps, labels, booklets and foil seals.

The program is a cooperative venture between the Illinois Department of Agri-culture, Agriculture Container Recycling Council, Growmark, Inc., Illinois Fertil-izer and Chemical Association, Container Services Network, Illinois Farm Bureau and University of Illinois Extension.

To obtain a free program brochure, call the Illinois Department of Agricul-ture toll free at 800-641-3934.

The single day collection sites and dates for the 2013 Pesticide Container Recycling Program are as follows:

• Henry County, Aug. 6, 9 to 11 a.m. River Valley Coop, Galva, Shane Schmidt, 309-932-2081.

• Whiteside County, Aug. 6, 1 to 3 p.m. Gold Star FS, Lyndon, Jim Ander-son, 815-778-3331.

• LaSalle County, Aug. 9, 9 to 11 a.m. Grainco FS, Lostant, Steve Puetz, 815-368-3215.

U.S. corn acreage up for fifth straight year

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. farmers success-fully overcame a cold and wet early spring this year, planting 97.4 million acres of corn, up slightly from 2012, according to the acreage report released June 28 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). This is the highest acreage planted to corn since 1936 and marks a fifth year in a row of corn acreage increases in the United States.

This growing season did not get off to a good start. Hampered by cold and wet weather in early spring in much of the major corn-producing region, U.S. growers had only 5 percent of the crop planted by April 28, making it the slow-est planting pace since 1984.

In May, however, the weather conditions improved significantly, helping U.S. corn grow-ers to make great strides in planting. The week

of May 19, farmers tied the fastest corn planting pace on record, plant-ing 43 percent of the total crop during that one week. Overall, 63 percent of the corn crop was reported in good or excellent condition as of June 2, compared with 72 percent at the same time last year.

Despite being ham-pered by the same weath-er problems in the early spring, for U.S. soybean growers, 2013 is estimat-ed to be a record-setting year. According to the report, farmers planted a record-high 77.7 mil-lion acres of soybeans this season, up 1 percent from last year. By June 16, soybean emergence remained behind the 5-year average in most of the soybean-growing states.

U.S. farmers also increased all wheat acre-age this year. All wheat planted area for 2013 is estimated at 56.5 mil-lion acres, up 1 per-cent from last year. The wheat acreage increased

in part due to an early row crop harvest, which allowed farmers to seed more acres.

In contrast with the increase in acreage for the first three principal crops, U.S. all cotton planted area is signifi-cantly lower in 2013, compared with last year. All cotton acre-age is estimated at 10.3 million, 17 percent below 2012 acres. As of June 23, an estimated 43 percent of all cot-ton crop was in good or excellent condition, compared with 50 per-cent rated in these two categories at the same time last year.

NASS also released the quarterly Grain Stocks report June 28, showing U.S. corn stocks down 12 percent from June 2012, soybean stocks down 35 percent and all wheat stocks down 3 percent.

Acreage, grain stocks and all other NASS reports are available online at www.nass.usda.gov.

Agricultural summary for July 1Another wet week was

in store for farmers due to excess rainfalls. The humidity increased as a result of temperatures rising. Farmers were unable to continue work-ing in the field due to the rain. Corn and soybean growth, however, has improved and appears to be looking much bet-ter. The big concern this past week was all of the weeds that have rapidly

grown and been spotted in soybean fields.

Precipitation averaged 1.88 inches through-out the state, 0.94 inches above normal. Temperatures across the state averaged 75.6 degrees for the week,

1.3 degree above nor-mal. There were 3.20 days suitable for field work last week. Topsoil moisture levels across the state were rated as 1 percent short, 72 percent adequate and 27 percent surplus.
