SPRING VALLEY — Spring Valley will receive $9.5 million from Illinois Jobs Now! to overhaul and repair its wastewater treatment plant.

Gov. Pat Quinn flew into the Illinois Valley Regional Airport in Peru late Wednesday afternoon to make the announcement to area officials. The $9.5 million to Spring Valley is part of more than $200 million in flood recovery assistance awarded so far this year to help communities recover from spring floods. Spring Valley’s wastewater treatment

plant suffered extensive damage during the spring-time flooding, and combined with its advanced age, was in dire need of repair, the governor said.

Spring Valley Mayor Walt Marini called the grant a “godsend” to Spring Valley.

“(Wednesday) was a great day for Spring Valley, and I can’t thank the governor and Reps. Frank Mautino and Sue Rezin enough for helping us to get this award,” he said.

Marini explained since the flooding in April, the city discovered the insurance money, monies from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and funds in the city’s budget wouldn’t be enough

to cover the costs for a new wastewater treatment plant.

“We looked at additional ways of funding and worked with Frank Mautino who has just been great and helped us to get this grant, which will cover the expense for a whole new plant,” he said. “It won’t be just putting good money into an old plant and trying to get by.”

In a press release Thursday, Quinn reviewed some of the damage caused by the April rains and flooding. Specifically in Spring Valley, the Illi-nois River broke one of the wastewater treatment plant’s levees and flooded it, causing extensive structural and grounds damage as well as damage to equipment, including the plant’s generator and electrical systems.

No suspects in Fawcett’s burglary

Princeton Police continue investigation

By Goldie [email protected]

PRINCETON — The investigation continues into the burglary that occurred in the early morning hours on Nov. 8 at Fawcett’s Pharmacy in downtown Princeton.

Princeton Police Chief Tom Root confirmed there have not been any suspects in the case.

The burglary occurred around 5 a.m., and an unspecified amount of hydrocodone (Vicodin) and money were taken from the location.

Root said the burglary seemed to be very similar to one that occurred about a year ago in LaSalle.

County discusses road work, bridges

By donna BaRkeR [email protected]

PRINCETON – The Bureau County Board has approved the 2014 County Highway Main-tenance Program appro-priation of $826,835 from the county’s Motor Fuel Tax allotment.

At Tuesday’s county board meeting, Trans-portation Committee Chairman Steve Sond-geroth presented the Fiscal Year 2014 County Highway Maintenance Program resolution,

which was unanimously approved by the board.

The county board also approved motions from Sondgeroth to go out for preliminary engineering services to replace two county bridges. The first project is to replace the bridge structure carry-ing County Highway 19, also known as 2750 East Street, over a branch of the East Bureau Creek. The preliminary engi-neering services was approved by the board

at a cost not to exceed $$49,410.

The second bridge proj-ect motion was to approve going out for preliminary engineering services to replace a bridge structure carrying Highway 24, also known as 1200 North Ave-

nue, over a branch of Pond Creek. The board approved that motion at a cost not to exceed $53,926.

Sondgeroth also present-ed a motion setting the county highway engineer’s annual salary at $103,500, which is 100 percent of the recommended salary determined each year by the Illinois Department of

Transportation. The cost of the salary is split 50/50 by the county and the state. The board approved that motion as well.

In other business, Build-ings and Grounds Com-mittee Chairman Kristi Warren gave an update on projects at the courthouse and county jail.

Warren said JB Con-

tracting of LaSalle has started the grounding work on the communication tower at the county jail. The work was needed to provide proper grounding work to help prevent light-ning strikes on the jail’s communication system. The tower was struck by lightning four times in the last two years.

While in Princeton, the company has also agreed to repair the courthouse tower as well, at a cost of $2,030, Warren said. The county board agreed to go forward with the court-house tower project.

Concerning the county’s ongoing communications radio upgrade, Warren said the final punch list is almost completed to the $250,000 project, with the excep-tion of a logging recorder which has been ordered and will be installed as soon as it arrives. There are also vehicular anten-nae licenses, which might take another few months to receive. Otherwise the punch list has worked itself down to almost noth-ing, Warren said.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Repub-lican, the county has been working with consultant Jim Eatock on the project which has included all new radios and a new computer system for the correctional officers at the county jail and for the courthouse security officers, as well as a new repeater, anten-nae and other equipment on the metal communica-tion tower at the jail. The upgrade has also included approximately 21 mobile radios for the department’s vehicles, 21 portable radi-os for deputies, plus some spare radios for any need-ed replacements if radios were lost, stolen or needed repaired.

Prized Crundwell horse has to be euthanized

Lottery winner’s rep bought horse

at auctionBy Matt Mencarini

Shaw Media Service

DIXON – Good I Will Be, one of the prize horses sold last year in the federal auction of former Comptroller Rita Crundwell’s assets, had to be euthanized by its new owner Sunday.

The bay stallion suc-cessfully underwent sur-gery for kidney stones Nov. 9 but never fully woke up from the anes-thesia, said manager Ste-phen Stephens of Dry River Ranch in Weath-erford, Texas. The horse started to show signs of discomfort about a week earlier and was taken to the Texas A&M Univer-sity Veterinary Hospital for treatment, Stephens said.

Kidney stones are rare for horses because of their regulated diet, Stephens said. Good I Will Be was “100 percent” healthy, he said, when purchased by Stephens for Sandra Morgan of Vancouver, British Columbia, who

won $35 million in the Canadian lottery in 2011.

The horse, which was purchased for $775,000 plus an additional 10 per-cent buyer’s premium, had already started to perform as a sire for its owners, bringing in at least $100,000 in its first year, Stephens said.

“He was probably the up and coming sire of the industry,” he said. “He was the head honcho.”

The horse’s offspring had been “dominating” competitions for show-horses, Stephens said.

Good I Will Be was one of more than 400 horses seized from Crundwell’s estate and sold by the U.S. Marshals Service, said Jason Wojdylo, chief inspector of the Marshals Asset Forfeiture Division.

If the horse had died before the auction in 2012, like eight of the horses did, the city wouldn’t have the more than $800,000 from its sale, Wojdylo said, includ-ed in the now nearly $9.2 million “restoration.” The horse’s death won’t affect the money the city expects to receive, he added.

“It will in no way impact that,” Wojdylo said. “With the sale of

this particular horse, the funds were transferred to the marshals already. The money is in the bank.”

Wojdylo expects the estimated $9.2 million to be transferred from the U.S. Marshals to the clerk of the U.S. District Court’s Northern District of Illinois within 30 days. The clerk’s office will then transfer the money to the city.

The U.S. Marshals made selling the horses, located on 22 farms in 13 states, a priority because as live animals they were a “high risk asset,” Wojdylo said, adding the marshals had never had to sell so many animals.

“It was unprecedent-ed,” he said. “It had never occurred in the U.S. Mar-shals’ history.”

The majority of the horses were sold in an online auction, in order to reduce the cost and risk of transferring them to Dixon for the live auc-tion, Wojdylo said.

Crundwell is serving a sentence of 19 years, 7 months in a federal pris-on in Waseca, Minn., after pleading guilty to stealing nearly $54 million in city funds over two decades.

SV looks at access road issueBy Goldie currie

[email protected]

SPRING VALLEY — Although it’s been months since Spring Valley voted in a new mayor, small speed bumps within the transition sometimes still appear.

At Tuesday’s council meeting, Scott Shearer of Shearer Tree Service gave a brief explanation to the council that he was not backing out of the tree clearing project for the construction of an access road near the city’s west sewer intercep-tor.

Shearer explained he had bid on the project under previous Mayor Cliff Banks. The project bid was $19,000 for the clearing of a road, he said.

The issue is,the road project he bid on and the project that is in the current planning stages are two different scopes of work.

“I would like to do the $19,000 job that I bid on if I could be allowed to,” he said. “But at this point according to (City Engineer) Larry Good, he doesn’t want the road where it was going to be.”

Shearer went on to say he would still be interested in bidding on the current plans of the project.

“I actually would love to do the job,” he said. “But what I bid on and what (Good) wants are two different scopes of

work. I just wanted you to hear it from me. That’s where we stand and where we are at.”

Alderman Dan McFadden said he had talked with Shearer about the project between the time of the original bid to now and discovered that Shearer’s tree clearing plans didn’t match what the current council had been discussing.

Good said he was not aware of the plans under the previous mayor, and only knew of the bid price Shearer had quoted.

The council all agreed it was not Shearer’s fault the terms of the work were misunderstood. They later agreed to have Good advertise new bids for the tree clearing portion of the access road project.

In October, the city agreed to purchase an easement agreement from Hawkeye Land Co. at the cost of $50,000 to gain rights to the land near the west sewer interceptor to build an access road.

On Tuesday, McFadden asked if the city had the permit to start the project.

City Clerk Becky Hansen confirmed the payment had been sent on Oct. 31, and Good and City Attorney Jim Andre-oni had not yet received the easement agreement documentation.

Marini explained after the flooding, the entire plant sat under water for days.

Originally constructed in 1958, the Spring Val-ley plant has not had a major upgrade since 1985, Quinn said. Even without the impact of flooding, most of the plant has reached the end of its service life and is no longer capable of con-sistently meeting efflu-ent standards for several materials listed in the required National Pollut-ant Discharge Elimina-tion System permit.

Because of this, just days before the flooding, Spring Valley went under a consent order from the attorney general to address their wastewater treatment plant issues and had been working with state officials to move the plant project forward.

The Spring Valley plant currently pumps about 850,000 gallons of water a day and serves about 6,000 people.

The new funding for Spring Valley will be used for a facility renovation, including the repair or replacement beyond its usable life and sludge removal from the aerated lagoon, with the goal of complying with its per-

mits through the Illinois Environmental Protec-tion Agency (IEPA).

Marini said construc-tion most likely won’t get started until early 2015. He explained it will take time to get the designs prepared and the permits to be approved by the IEPA. The press release stated the project should be competed by 2017.

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency Direc-tor Lisa Bonnett com-mented on the Spring Valley project.

“This project under-scores the importance

of having modern water infrastructure not only for public safety, but for the progress of a com-munity,” Bonnett said. “While these floods caused enormous hard-ships, they are an oppor-tunity for communities to look forward and see how state capital funding and Gov. Quinn’s Clean Water Initiative can help them improve their qual-ity of life.”

Marini also pointed out all the new major proj-ects coming to Spring Valley, which include the construction of a new

$32 million high school, a new addition to the John F. Kennedy Elementary School, a new assisted living center at St. Bede Academy, a Sullivan’s Foods grocery store, a new Route 89 bridge over the Illinois River and now the new wastewater treat-ment plant.

“There’s probably close to $100 million that’s going into Spring Val-ley. That means jobs for people not only in Spring Valley but all around the Illinois Valley,” he said.

Madigan warns of temporary license scams

CHICAGO — Attorney General Lisa Madigan advised Illinois residents to be on the lookout for scams related to the rollout of the Temporary Visitor’s Driver’s License (TVDL) program by the Illinois Secretary of State. Non-U.S. citizens who are ineligible to obtain Social Security cards may apply for Illinois driver’s licenses under the new program.

Madigan indicated her office already had received reports of driving schools soliciting more than $1,000 from undocumented immi-grants for so-called “universal licenses” that are supposedly recognized in most states. Madigan’s office also received report of a scam targeting Illi-nois residents for hundreds of dollars supposedly to expedite a TVDL application.

“The only legitimate place you can apply for a temporary driver’s license is with the Secretary of State’s office,” Madigan said. “Other people who claim they can help get you a license or get it faster are only trying to scam you out of your money.”

“My office has spent the last 10 months meeting with immigrant advocacy organizations, legisla-tors and interested citizens throughout the state to raise awareness on the procedures governing the application for and the issuance of TVDLs,” said Secretary of State Jesse White. “A primary component of our presentations has focused on alerting the immigrant community to be on the lookout for scam artists. I applaud Attorney Gen-eral Madigan for joining me in this effort and for her vigilance in this matter.”

The Attorney General said TVDL applications can only be processed at designated Secretary of State facilities after making an appointment with the Secretary of State. During the appoint-

ment, applicants will pay a $30 processing fee, complete a Verification of Residency Form and have to pass a vision, written and road exam.

The Secretary of State then will verify the information provided by the applicant, and if approved, the TVDL is mailed to the appli-cant’s home approximately 15-20 days after the appointment.

To avoid becoming the victim of a scam, Madi-gan offered the following tips to consumers:

• Do not pay companies upfront fees to help you obtain a driver’s license. The Secretary of State’s office is the only designated issuer of TVDLs.

• Do not pay a fee to schedule an appointment with the Secretary of State. A fee is not required to make an appointment. Also, there is no way to expedite the appointment or the application process.

• Avoid offers for a “universal license” that is valid for driving in other states – there is no such thing.

• Beware of anyone promising to “clear your record” and obtain a TVDL for you immediately.

If you have previously had a driver’s license under a false Social Security number or had a DUI conviction in the past, you may still be eli-gible for a TVDL.

However, you may need to comply with addi-tional requirements before applying. Please visit www.cyberdriveillinois.com for more informa-tion.

• Do not go to a notario or notary public to obtain a driver’s license. Only the Secretary of State’s office can provide you with a valid license in Illinois.

Madigan encouraged Illinois residents to con-tact her office’s Consumer Fraud Hotline with questions or to report potential scams:

Those numbers are 800-386-5438 (Chicago), 800-243-0618 (Springfield), 800-243-0607 (Car-bondale) and 866-310-8398 (en Espanol).

When & Where

Refresher courseOne part of my job which I truly enjoy are the

opportunities I have to visit area schools. Sometimes I’m there to do an interview or take a photo, while other occasions find me in the halls of education to speak to a class about the newspaper business. Either way, I most always leave each school with a feeling of appreciation for the teachers who lead their students through the educa-tional — and often the life skills — process.

When I was a child, I always thought I wanted to be a teacher. As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to realize some things just aren’t meant to be, and that’s for good reason. For me, teaching would be fun for about a week. After that, I’d be on my last nerve ... which explains why I have such an apprecia-tion for teachers. But back to my story ...

So I found myself headed into a school the other day, when I saw one of my favorite Bureau County teachers on the playground. I was a bit early, so I thought I would go over and say hi to this teacher, who was obviously on playground duty. We chat-ted for a while as she kept a close eye on her young charges. The kids were crazy wild, and even though we chatted casually, this teacher didn’t miss a beat when it came to keeping an eye on the kids and repri-manding them when needed.

Just as I was about to head into the school, I watched as a young boy came toward us. He had a distressed look on his face as he approached us. There were no tears, but I thought there might be soon. Without hesitation, he spoke to my teacher friend ...

“(Classmate’s name) is throwing grass at me,” the little boy told the teacher. “He’s throwing a lot of it at me, and it’s getting in my mouth,” he continued. From the size of the child, I assumed he was a first- or second-grader.

And then with all the wisdom teachers are known to have, my teacher friend delivered the following: “Well, keep your mouth closed and go play somewhere else,” she said quickly.

The little boy appeared to be studying his teacher’s words for a minute, and then he was off, doing as he was told and heading to the opposite side of the play-ground.

“Well, that was easy,” I said to the teacher.“No,” she said just as quickly. “That was common

sense.”I chuckled out loud and headed off into the school,

but I don’t mind telling you the teacher’s words stayed with me all day long ... “Keep your mouth closed and go play somewhere else.”

As I think back, I have to tell you I believe those words of wisdom are great advice — not just for a little kid on the playground, but for all of us ... “Keep your mouth closed and go play somewhere else.” In fact, they might just be some of the most brilliant words I’ve heard in a long time.

Like the little kid who was throwing grass on the playground, we all — at one time or another — have that person or persons, who tend to throw a lot our way. While it probably isn’t something so simple as a handful of grass, they tend to throw their words, their actions, their demeanor, their attitudes, etc., at us. And of course, I think our first inclination in dealing with these types of people is to lash back and throw some words, actions or attitudes back at them. At the very least — like the little kid complaining to his teacher on the playground, we want someone to acknowledge our misery, and we spread the other person’s wrongdoing like it’s gospel to anyone who will listen.

But what if we adopted the teacher’s advice — “Keep your mouth closed and go play somewhere else?” In essence ... ignore the problem. Don’t let your own mouth perpetuate the issue. And then walk away and move on to something else.

A life lesson I should practice more often ... Problem solved, and I keep my own dignity intact in the pro-cess. Thanks, my teacher friend. Sometimes an adult needs a common sense lesson too.

The babysitter

“I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it. I’m about to lose control and I think I like it.” Not only are these the lyrics to a popular, early-1980s anthem by the heavy-metal trio “The Pointer Sisters,” but it also pretty much sums up how I’m feeling right now. I usu-ally write about stuff that hap-pened in the past but today I’m going to try and wax poetic about the future.

You see, as I’m writing this, I am but a mere two days from some vacation time from work. I’m like a little kid two days before Christ-mas. I have a whole laundry list of things I want to get done over the next week. Ironically, none of those things involve laundry. If I get a fraction of these items accomplished, it should be a fun time.

Let me tell you about the first thing that I’m going to do on this wild, devil-may-care furlough. I am accompanying my wife to Bloomington and/or Normal, Illi-nois, where she will be attending a two-day, high-school business teachers conference. She goes to one of these just about every year, and she thought it would be fun if I went with her this year. I fig-ured, it’s the first day of vacation, why not?

Upon first glance, this may not sound like a raucous, full-tilt adventure to you, but allow me to explain. My 20-year-old son goes to college in Bloomington and/or Normal, and I get to play with him and his buddies while my wife attends the conference. That’s right, I get to become an honorary

member of “Animal House,” and it was all my wife’s idea. I’m going to be like James Bond with a license to kill.

My wife has kept telling me that this will be a great chance for my son and I to bond. Also, she thinks that it will be good for my son and his roommates to have an older, more mature presence in the house to help them along the road to becoming rational-thinking young men. I have learned some-thing from this line of thinking. I’ve been writing this semi-regular column for over two years now, and apparently, my wife has not read one of them. I couldn’t figure out why she thinks that I will all of a sudden start speaking with a voice of reason.

And then, on the drive to work today, I had an epiphany. My wife doesn’t really think that I’m going to be a guiding light to these young men. No, my son and his friends are the cheapest form of babysitting that my wife can find in the Bloomington and/or Normal area for a two-day period. Basi-cally she’s dropping me off with my son, so I don’t wander off and get into any trouble.

Now, I usually tend to believe that my wife is the intelligent one in our relationship, but I don’t think that she has thought this one all the way through. Does it really seem like it’s a good idea to have me babysat by a younger ver-sion of myself? He’s too young to

know any better, and I’m too old to care. Add three other guys that are oblivious to common sense, and that’s a recipe for disaster. A hilarious amount of disaster.

I remember what I was like when I was a 20-year-old college student and from that perspective, this is a horrible idea. When all this is said and done, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Department of Human Services comes in and takes me away from my wife to place me in a home with more responsible caregivers.

As far as the next few days go, I can’t wait to see what it’s like to hang out with four guys half my age. If my memory is any good, I’m not sure that I will survive the festivities that are about to ensue, but I’ll give it my best shot, at least until 7:30, maybe a quar-ter after 8. Ever since the time change, that’s about the time that I’m ready for bed anymore.

By the time that most of you read this, I should be back and confined to the safety of my home. If not, I may need to raise enough bail money to get five guys out of the Bloomington and/or Normal jail. But don’t worry, I’ll pay you back. Since I have written about this excursion, I’m sure that it’s all tax deductible.

The best part about this whole adventure is, no matter what hap-pens over the next couple of days, I have all of next week to recover. So if you’re not doing anything, come on over to my house and we can play ... My other babysitter will be at work.

PHS-Kewanee rivalry among best in nationBy Kevin Hieronymus

[email protected]

Football fans in Princeton and Kewanee have enjoyed the more than a century-old rivalry between the Tiger and Boiler-maker football teams.

The rest of the country is tak-ing notice.

Princeton High School ath-letic director Jesse Brandt received noticed Thursday from USA TODAY High School Sports the Tiger-Boilermaker

rivalry has been selected as one of the top football rivalries for 2013.

Brandt said the nomination is “very nice for PHS,” recogniz-ing what he said has “been a longstanding rivalry.”

“What an honor to be select-ed, there are so many great rivalries in our state.” Tiger coach Jesse Snyder said.

The Princeton-Kewanee rivalry originated in 1885. It is the fourth oldest rivalry in Illi-nois. After a three-year absence

when Kewanee left the NCIC, the schools renewed the rivalry this year, meeting for the 115th time. With their 36-0 win, the Boilermakers inched closer in the rivalry series, Princeton now clinging to a slim 56-55-4 edge.

The second annual Best High School Football Rivalry compe-tition will begin Nov. 18 with the State round which ends at 12 p.m. ET Nov. 27. Fans may go to http://contest.usato-dayhss.com/rivalry to vote.

USA TODAY High School

Sports selected five high school football rivalries in each state and Washington, D.C. after more than a month of conversa-tions with local media and other state/school officials with high school football expertise. From there, the fans will decide which rivalry emerges from a list of 255 — more than 100 more rivalries overall than a year ago.

The best rivalry competition will end Dec. 18 after three rounds of voting. The 51 state

PRINCETON — Kevin Hieronymus is bringing back an old Illinois State University motto to moti-vate the Princeton girls basketball team this year.

First introduced in the 1970s by ISU coach Gene Smithson, the mantra MTXE (Mental Tough Xtra Effort) is something Hiero-nymus has shared with his team in practice and will remind them before each game this year.

“I was a big follower of ISU basketball growing up as a kid around there,” said Hieronymus, who graduated from ISU. “Those were some good days as a junior high and high school kid going to watch the Red-birds at old Hor-ton Fieldhouse and seeing their MTXE logo.”

Mental tough-ness, the first part of the slogan, is something the Tigresses will have to focus on early in the season. With only two returning varsity players on a roster of 11, the hope is team chemistry

will develop sooner rather than later. With so much turnover on the roster, Hierony-mus may not have a set starting five early in the season.

“Every position is up for grabs at this point,” said Hieronymus, now

in his second year as coach. “We’ll be looking closely at practices and evaluating everyone’s skills and work ethic.”

2013-14 LaMoille girls basketball preview

Lady Lions building off summer success

By BCr sports [email protected]

The 2013-14 basketball season will tip off this week for area girls teams.

The first tip off will take place at the Princeton Holiday Tourna-ment sponsored by the PHS Boost-er Club. Three Bureau County teams will be in action: Princeton, LaMoille/Ohio and Bureau Valley.

Princeton and LaMoille/Ohio are paired in the Blue Pool with Stark County and Midland. Defending regional champ Putnam County heads up the White Pool, which

consists of Bureau Valley, Stark County and newcomer Streator.

Erie, the 2012 winner, departed after just one year.

“Looks like we have another balanced field this year. Putnam County brings back all of its guns

from last year’s regional champi-ons,” PHS coach Kevin Hierony-mus said.

The action begins Monday at 5 p.m. at Prouty Gym with Henry facing Streator. That contest will be followed by PC vs. Streator at 6:30 p.m. and Princeton vs. Mid-land at 8 p.m.

On Tuesday, Streator faces Put-nam County at 5 p.m., Midland faces Stark County at 6:30 p.m. and LaMoille/Ohio jumps into the fray against the host Tigresses in the nightcap.

LAMOILLE — The LaMoille/Ohio Lady Lions enter the new basketball season look-ing to build from the success they had in the summer league.

Head coach Dick Gross will be joined by a new assistant coach Adam

Spencer and senior scoring leader Shiela Browning, Myrah Gra-ham and newcomer Vanessa Martinez. There are also five juniors in camp includ-ing Samantha Martinez, Kaitlyn Hughes, Eliza-beth Geuther, Alissa Schrader and Erin Ben-nett.

“This summer we did our

summer league basketball and went to Princeton and Bureau Valley and we were 7-1. We did very good, but since then we’ve lost three girls that were part of that team. They just did not come back for differ-ent reasons,” Gross said. “I was very optimistic because of the girls that we had com-ing back, and I still am. We’re going to have to bring up a freshman, Jasmine Kahly.

She’ll play some varsity bas-ketball.

“So, our numbers are just a little bit shorter than I expect-ed that they would be. But, we’ll do fine. We’ve got some height, we’ve got a lot of speed and the practices have been going very well.”

Browning (11.5 ppg), a 2012-13 All-BCR First Team selection, was the team’s scor-

Hughes led the Lit-tle Ten Conference in rebounding and the Mar-tinez sisters are expect-ed to do well. The 6-1 Geuther will be the Lady Lions center. Ben-nett and Schrader will fill out the squad at for-ward and Kahly will play guard. Freshman Paige Conners will also dress for varsity.

The Lady Lions had an injury plagued sea-son a year ago. Gross said Schrader has to be medically cleared to play from a concussion she received last year while Hughes is recover-ing as well from her ACL injury last season. Gross said the rest of the team is healthy.

“We’ve had a week and one day of prac-tices and so far, so good. That’s one thing we’ve got to try to avoid is the injury bug. We cannot afford to lose any more kids,” he said.

The Lady Lions will kick off their 2013-14 hoops campaign at the Princeton Holiday Tour-nament Tuesday against the host Tigresses.

for Princeton and averaged a solid 6.5 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. She will play in the post along with fel-low senior Kelly Schmidt. Both have played all four years in the program.

“It says a lot for Kelly and Zoe to represent their class all these years,” Hieronymus said. “I look for them to be strong team leaders.”

Michaela Strom, a soph-omore, is the lone under-classmen to be called up. She will bring depth to the guard position, along with juniors Danielle Hughes, Ann Sims and Megan Hendrickson.

Juniors Brianna Barajas, Taylor Clark and Stephen-ney Farrell will play in the post. Classmates Alison VanDenBussche and Becca Frank will play wing.

Extra effort, the second part of the slogan, will be needed this year as Princ-

eton joins the Three Rivers Athletic Con-ference, moving over from the disbanded NCIC conference. They will be joined by Hall, St. Bede, Kewanee, Rockridge, Orion and Sherrard in the South Division.

“I see our division and the conference as a whole being very competitive,” Hieronymus said. “You’re going to have to come play every night to be competitive. We’ve got to play as a team. We’re going to need to strive to play good defense.”

The Tigresses will tip off their season against Midland on Monday, when they host their annual Holiday Tourna-ment sponsored by the PHS Boosters at Prouty Gym.

Transportation, research keep U.S.

soy dependableYou just can’t predict

Mother Nature. Last year’s drought conditions curtailed yields, and this spring’s excess moisture had some farmers wor-ried again.

But no matter the conditions, U.S. soybean farmers always provide a reliable supply of high-quality soy products to our customers.

Our supply is reliable because research and better agronomics help our farmers produce a large supply. And our unrivaled U.S. trans-portation system makes moving soybeans efficient and cost-effective.

More than half of all the soybeans grown in Illinois are exported each year, and the more than 1,100 miles of river run-ning through our state help move our soybeans into export position.

According to a soy-checkoff-funded study, Illinois farmers ship approximately 211 mil-lion bushels of soybeans by barge each year. Most of these soybeans trav-eled through a network of locks and dams to Gulf of Mexico ports before trav-eling to foreign markets.

Through checkoff fund-ing, the Illinois Soybean Association (ISA) invests more than $1 million in research each year to educate influencers about the need to improve Illinois roads, bridges, railways and waterways. These efforts help raise awareness about our aging infrastructure and will help maintain our competitive advantage.

And we have the sup-ply to meet our custom-ers’ needs year-round. This is partly because the national soy checkoff and the Illinois Soybean Association (ISA) invest in research that helps protect our yields.

On our farm, even through we had little rain this past growing season, our soybean yields were better than expected. I have no doubt research played a big role in this yield under adverse con-ditions.

For example, a 2013 ISA study, called the “Six Secrets to Soybean Suc-cess,” identified several management practices that help crops perform in stressful conditions, including high tempera-tures and droughts.

The checkoff also funds basic, exploratory research that seed-tech-nology companies often

use to bring new varieties to our farms. One exam-ple of this is the mapping of the soybean genome, which has accelerated the development of vari-eties that will yield bet-ter, contain higher levels of protein and overcome a variety of pests, dis-eases and environmental stresses.

Checkoff research also helps protect and increase soybean yields. Thanks in part to variet-ies that can stand up to harsh weather condi-tions, last year’s total U.S. soybean harvest was only slightly behind the previous year’s’ produc-tion, despite the drought. It’s unclear whether this year’s harvest will break any records, but U.S. soybean farmers should be proud of our ability to provide our custom-ers with the soy products they need to create feed, food, fuel and fiber for the word.

And as you plan for next year, think about how checkoff research has made an impact on the varieties you choose to grow and the manage-ment practices you use on your farm.

Sharon Covert is the United Soybean Board secretary and a soybean farmer from Tiskilwa.

BV FFA attends national convention MANLIUS — Seven students from the Bureau

Valley High School FFA program traveled to Lou-isville, Ky., for the National FFA Convention and Expo from Oct. 30 to Nov. 2.

During the four days, students attended general sessions where they heard from keynote speakers Rick Pitino, Josh Sundquist and Katie Pratt.

They had the opportunity to go to a career fair

featuring 455 different companies, colleges and exhibitors.

The delegation toured Churchill Downs and the Louisville Slugger Museum and factory, and they went to a Dierks Bentley and Jana Kramer concert.

Following this year’s theme, the students returned home with an “ignited passion” for agri-culture.”

CPT, advanced manufacturing session plannedOGLESBY — High-demand, high-pay manufactur-

ing careers will be the focus of a CPT and Advanced Manufacturing Careers Information Session from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in Illinois Valley Community College’s CTC-124 within the new Peter Miller Com-munity Technology Center.

The session will provide an overview of career pro-grams in industrial maintenance, industrial electric-ity, electronics, wind energy, manufacturing technol-ogy, CNC, welding, CAD and HVAC. Both certificate and degree programs are available and the majority of the programs will be located in the technology center.

In addition, the Certified Production Technician program (CPT), an introductory manufacturing cer-

tificate for those who want to acquire skills and get a job fast, will be discussed.

Thirteen district manufacturers have endorsed the CPT certificate as a desirable credential in their hir-ing. The certificate, earned in just one semester, can lead to lifetime employment, said Jennifer Scheri, IVCC business training specialist.

Starting wage for an entry-level technician ranges from $11 to $18.78 per hour. Average local wage is $13.70, and most companies offer increases after 90 days as well as healthcare and benefits.

The programs begin with the start of the spring semester Jan. 13. For information, contact Scheri at (815) 224-0390, [email protected] or visit www.ivcc.edu/cpt.
