The nationwide crack-down on synthetic drugs hit the spotlight this week, with local efforts continu-ing to reduce the use of synthetic drugs.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Admin-

istration announced more than 150 people were arrested in a four-month nationwide round-up of alleged sellers and makers of synthetic drugs, sub-stances that authorities say can be more danger-ous than the drugs they mimic. Authorities seized hundreds of thousands of synthetic drug packages

and more than $20 million in cash and assets in the 29-state, January-to-May round-up, which the DEA said was the second phase of an operation called Project Synergy.

Community Part-ners Against Substance Abuse (CPASA) coordina-tor Dawn Conerton said CPASA has worked with area law enforcement agencies for nearly three years in raising awareness

of the dangers of synthetic drugs.

She first became aware of synthetic drugs in July 2011 when contacted by a parent whose son was using synthetic drugs, which were legal at that time, Conerton said. Within months, CPASA was working with area law enforcement agencies, including those in Princ-eton and Spring Valley, to get ordinances passed

banning the possession, sale and delivery of syn-thetic drugs. In 2012, the federal government had also made synthetic drugs illegal, she said.

CPASA continues to work with area law enforcement agencies to help inform the pub-lic about the dangers of synthetic drugs, provid-ing presentations to area businesses, schools and other community groups

and at numerous commu-nity events, Conerton said.

“People don’t know what synthetic drugs look like and how they can be packaged, and they don’t realize that they are extremely dangerous,” Conerton said. “One prob-lem with synthetic drugs is that they keep changing, so it can be hard to keep up with what’s out there.”

Old Princeton Pizza Hut demolished

Bridging the gapsBridge projects

underway in Bureau County

The crackdown continuesGetting synthetic drugs off the street

By LyLe [email protected]

PRINCETON — The old Pizza Hut restaurant, dating back to 1973, is now history.

Demolition of the building with the distinctive red metal roof was demolished on Thurs-day. In its lifetime, the building had three additions added to the structure.

John Addis, co-owner of JV Enterprises of Illinois and based in Kewanee, which owns

the franchise for the Princeton restaurant, said he expects the building to be hauled away by Friday to prepare that lot for parking for the new Pizza Hut that opened for business Tues-day just south of the old build-ing.

“If the weather holds, I expect in two weeks for everything to be done and out of here,” he said while waiting for demoli-tion work to be finished. “We have been busier than I expect-ed at the new Pizza Hut.”

As the building was being

torn down, a steady stream of cars went by on Main Street and many turned off onto Franklin Street to see the bulldozer tear apart the building.

Addis’ wife, Vanessa, said tables and chairs from the old restaurant were donated to the Princeton Moose Lodge. John Addis said he had a person request a certain booth in the old restaurant because their first date was there, and he gave them that booth.

The new restaurant is 2,700 square feet in size and can seat

up to 100 people. Addis said it includes a full salad bar and buffet. It also includes a drive through window on the south side.

Addis owns 11 Pizza Huts in Illinois, and the Princeton one is the last one of those to be remodeled or relocated. The Addises owns Pizza Huts in Peru, Ottawa, Streator, Milan, Channahon, Wilmington, Orion, Geneseo, Colona and Kewanee.

PRINCETON/WYANET — Two railroad bridges, each more than 100 years old, are in the process of getting replaced in Bureau County.

Crews are working on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad bridge located just east of Wyanet on 1525 East Street over West Bureau Creek. The other bridge is locat-ed about two miles west of Princeton off Backbone Road and visible to travel-ers on Interstate 80.

Both bridges were built in 1899 and have had long productive lives, accord-ing to BNSF spokesperson Andy Williams.

Crews are currently working to prepare the approaches to either side of the bridges. Crews are preparing the base to bring in drilling equipment to put in new pilings, which are concrete structures to hold the bridges them-selves. Getting the pilings built will take the next few months, Williams said.

Once the piling is built, all the tracks and decking will be replaced, replacing the approaches to the cen-ter part of the bridge. The approaches to the bridg-es will be concrete, while the new center part of the bridge will be steel.

The actual bridge replacements, the center parts, won’t happen until November, Williams said. Once that time comes, crews will work around

The building was first built in 1973 and has had three additions to it over the years. A new parking area for the new Pizza Hut, which opened for business Tuesday, will be located where the former building had sat for more than four decades. Prior to the Pizza Hut, the site was the former home of the old Red & White Grocery.

DePue students create library

artwork

By Goldie Currie [email protected]

DEPUE — DePue Schools hosted an open house event Thursday evening to show off the library’s new, fresh look.

One of the high school’s art classes was chosen this year to take on the year-long project of designing and painting a large wall mural made up of classic storybook themes, as well as additional character pieces that were precisely arranged around sections of the library’s walls.

It was once a long-time goal to upgrade the schools’ library. DePue art instructor Kathy Bal-lard explained about three years ago she was talking with school librarian Katie Sment and they got on the topic of sprucing up the library.

“At the time, the shelv-ing was gray metal stacks that took up a lot of space, making the seating and study area cramped and giving a tired, dingy look to the room,” Ballard said. “My original idea was to put colorful painted pan-els at the end of the (book stacks) to brighten up the room, using characters and themes from chil-dren’s literature to deco-rate the panels.”

Within the next year, however, school officials decided to use funds that had been raised in previ-ous years for the purpose of revamping the library. The funds purchased new carpet, paint and shelving.

From there, Ballard began her search for the right class of art students for the mural project.

“I found the best combi-nation of workers and art-ists in the third hour, high school class this year,” she said. “Twenty-four stu-dents worked the entire year on this project.”

The students split into groups and determined which characters they wanted to create.

Sophomore Oscar Gar-cia, one of the students from the class, talked about how some days were frustrating because getting drawings to look just as he wanted was sometimes a challenge. He said asking friends for advice is what helped him through the tough times.

“I like how we could do something for our library here, and we will remem-ber the experience for the rest of our lives,” he said.

Sophomore Selena Campos agreed and added it feels great to be able to give something back to the community.

“A lot of people don’t take pride in our school because it’s so small, but I feel like we can pass this onto future generations to enjoy the school more. It’s very inspiring to younger kids, who will take pride in the school,” she said.

This project taught more than just art tech-niques; students also learned dedication, time management and prob-lem solving in the midst of working up to the finish

line. They gave up after-school hours and week-ends to complete tasks and worked hard at their designs until they came out just as planned.

Most of the character

pieces were completed at the end of the third school semester. To this day, all that needs to be completed are details on the Hogwarts Academy portion of the mural and

a final seal coat over the entire wall. The complete project is expected to be finished by the end of the year, as planned.

PRINCETON — Sewer smoke testing for the city of Princeton will take place the week of May 12.

As part of efforts to reduce clear-water entry into the sanitary sewer system, testing of the sew-ers will be conducted in the following areas: North Euclid Avenue between Hudson Street and War-ren Street; Hudson Street; Franklin Street; Jacqualine Lane; Fox Creek; and Lin-wood Drive.

During the examina-tion, a dense grayish/white smoke will be blown through the sanitary sew-ers from a manhole. Smoke will then appear from any roof drains, catch basins or house vent stacks con-nected to the system. In addition, the smoke may appear from cracks in the pavement above the sewer, from lawns or around homes which have foun-dation drains connected to the sewer. The appearance of smoke from house vent stacks is normal and does not indicate a defect in the plumbing.

Smoke may also appear

in basements by means of unused floor drains, dis-connected or faulty plumb-ing fixtures, or any direct opening to the house lat-eral. To reduce this possi-bility, pour water down all floor drains, sinks or other plumbing fixtures. This water will fill the plumbing trap and prevent the entry of smoke.

The smoke used in this program has been ana-lyzed by a team of experts in the field of industrial hygiene, toxicology and medicine and has been proven harmless. Although harmless, the smoke may irritate nasal passages but irritation should disappear quickly after exposure has ended. Those persons suf-fering from heart or lung diseases, such as emphy-sema, should attempt to avoid exposure as they would any other potential airborne irritant.

Testing will not take place in inclement weath-er. For more information, contact the city of Princ-eton at 815-879-3961 or Visu-Sewer Inc. at 800-876-8478.

SPRING VALLEY —Spring Valley will hold its spring cleanup May 12-16. Residents should have their cleanup items out by 6 a.m. on regu-lar garbage service day. Only one stop will be

made at each home. The city will hold a recy-cling event from 8 a.m. to noon June 14 in the library parking lot. For more information, call the city clerk’s office at 815-664-4221.

On Friday, Spring Valley Police Chief Kevin Sangston said there has been a dra-matic decrease in the avail-ability of synthetic drugs in his community since the police department closed down a Spring Valley smoke shop last September and the city council revoked the business’ tobacco license. Before that time, there was a large proliferation of syn-thetic drugs in the area, but that is no longer the case, Sangston said.

Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson said he’s also seen great improve-ments during the past two years in controlling the pos-session and sale of synthetic drugs, thanks to events tak-ing place locally and state-wide. The Illinois Attorney General’s office is allowing local law enforcement agen-cies to do more in the area of enforcement. There used

to be no control over the sale of synthetic drugs, but that’s no longer the case, he said.

Also, individual commu-nities are taking action by passing ordinances prohib-iting the possession, delivery and sale of synthetic drugs. The city of Princeton was on the cutting edge in passing a local ordinance limiting the availability of synthetic drugs to the public, with other communities also passing similar ordinances, the sheriff said.

But looking ahead, Thompson said law enforce-ment is now facing the importation of synthetic drugs through the Internet. What may appear to be a benign products, like bath salts, could be something very different. It’s time for the country to step up to the plate and protect its com-munities from what can be brought into the country, not just synthetic drugs but also heroin, the sheriff said.


the clock for 36 hours to replace each bridge, with train traffic rerouted during that time, he said.

Also between now and November, crews at the Wyanet site will be erect-ing a brand new steel girder bridge, 120 feet in length for the center section. During a 36-hour time frame, crews will take the old center sec-tion out, bring in a crane, hook on to the new section and slide it into place. The same process will take place for the Princeton bridge,

which is 383 feet long, with a center span of 156 feet, the BNSF spokesperson said.

The Bureau County bridge projects are part of a $150 million capital proj-ects program planned by BNSF for Illinois during 2014, according to the BNSF website. The projects will expand rail capacity, replace and maintain the network infrastructure, and contin-ue the implementation of new technology. The BNSF Railway operates on 32,500 route miles of track in 28 states and two Canadian provinces.

SPRING VALLEY — Let-ter carriers in Spring Val-ley are joining the nation’s 175,000 letter carriers today, Saturday morning, collecting non-perishable food donations to benefit the their local food pan-tries.

On Thursday, Jan Martin, director of Hall Township Food Pantry, said postcards have been delivered to Spring Valley houses asking residents to

participate in this nation-al “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive.

Residents are encour-aged to leave a sturdy bag containing non-perishable foods, such as canned soup, canned vegetables, canned meats and fish, pasta, rice or cereal next to their mail-box before the regular mail delivery on Saturday. All items collected will be taken to Hall Township

Food Pantry for distribu-tion to patrons. Residents are asked to put out their donations early, as volun-teers may sometimes pre-cede letter carriers.

People may call the food pantry at 815-663-2085 if they are interested in volunteering when the food is delivered, Martin said.

Pam Donato, who coor-dinates the effort, said the timing of the food drive is

important. Pantry shelves fill up through winter-holiday generosity, but often are bare by late spring. And, with most school meal programs suspended during sum-mer months, millions of children must find alter-nate sources of nutrition, she said.

Martin agreed, saying the need is even great-er during the summer months.

Mother’s Day is tomorrow, Sunday — a special day to honor those women in our lives who have made a difference. Moms, grandmothers, aunts, cousins, teachers, friends, neighbors ... just because it’s called Mother’s Day, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t honor all women who have impacted our lives.

There have been many, many women who have touched me and shaped me into who I am today. While I still have far to go when it comes to being the person I aim to be, I credit much of who I am to the love, care and friendship of others. I have been blessed.

While women have changed consider-ably throughout the years, I still believe and admire the strength I’ve seen so many women exhibit — not just in times of crisis but also in their day-to-day lives. I’ve watched women who have faced incredible adversi-ty, frightening times, formidable moments and hor-rific events, yet they continue to greet the world with a smile on their faces and much love in their hearts. They are women who still extend a hand to others and are usually the first one to raise that same hand when a volunteer is needed.

I was raised by strong women (and a strong Grandpa too, but for the sake of Mother’s Day, I’ll talk about Grandpa another day). As I think back, I don’t know if my grandmother really knew she was as strong as I saw her, but even though I was very young, I remember watching her closely and admir-ing her for the woman she was.

Grandma was a woman who owned nerves of steel, and seldom did her children or grandchildren ever rock that stability. Instead, she took life’s adver-sities with a grain of salt, and she showed us that despite events that rip open your soul, you could still handle life with the grace and strength she read-ily displayed.

Grandma — whose heart belonged to the bright lights of the city — learned to love the darkened skies and twinkle of fireflies in the country. We watched her face so much, yet we also watched her heart sing about the little things in life that most never notice. She was tough as nails, yet gentle as a spring rain.

She was so much to those who loved her — a sto-ryteller; a nature lover; a Grandma who wanted you in her lap; a book reader (OK, she did read romance novels to me even though Grandpa told her not to), an animal lover; a nurse (she delivered many babies at Perry Memorial Hospital); a tear-dryer; a Grand-ma who thought an orange Popsicle for lunch was perfectly acceptable; a Scrabble player; a disciplinar-ian (a flyswatter was her weapon of choice); a no nonsense woman when it came to problems; a trav-eler — even though she seldom got to; the matriarch of our family who everyone loved and admired.

Fortunately for me, my mom now owns many of those same traits — she just exhibits them in dif-ferent ways. She, too, has prevailed in the face of much adversity, and she’s much stronger than she realizes. She gives so much of herself to those she cares about, and I know I’m at the top of her list. Unlike my grandmother, my mom can cry for almost no reason at all, but I know many of the tears she’s shed throughout the years have been for me ... and because of me. While her strength often drips from her eyes as she faces the journey ahead of her, there’s no doubt in my mind she will always prevail. She always has.

I’m very lucky, very blessed to have had strong women in my life — ones who value the important things like love, family, charity and faith — ones who have helped instill those same qualities in my heart.

While we’ll celebrate those women in our lives tomorrow who have made a difference, I’m suggest-ing we need to honor those ladies every day. Happy Mother’s Day to my mom, Judy Dyke, and to all the strong women who change us in a positive way.

Letters Policy

A woman’s strength

Juror 86I almost got to do big-person,

grown-up, adult-type stuff the other day. Almost.

You see, several weeks ago, I received a summons from my county courthouse for jury duty. Throughout the years, I have got-ten several of these letters in the mail asking me to serve as a juror, but each and every other previous time, for some reason or another, the case on the day I was scheduled to appear had been settled out of court, and I didn’t even have to show up.

I had gotten so used to this sce-nario, that I was kind of shocked last Sunday evening when I called the courthouse and the automated answering machine told me that, in fact yes, there was a case to be decided, and yes, my presence was required.

I had mixed emotions. On one hand, I have always been curious about how our country’s legal sys-tem works, and I always want to do my part as an American citizen. But on the other hand, I don’t know of anyone who wants to willingly step foot in a courtroom. Especially when this person may or may not possess 23-year-old illegal bottle rockets that he attained before he was married, that he may or may not have gotten on a trip to Gatlin-burg.

Add to this the fact I am presently suffering from allergies, and you can see why I dreaded the thought of sitting in a solemn, quiet court-room. Every 10 to 16 seconds, I feel a compelling need to blow my nose. And not just a pleasant little puff of air into a tissue followed by a polite, “You’ll have to excuse me. I’m a little stuffed up.” No, this is the kind of proboscis clearing that produces a sound similar to that of the Heimlich maneuver being applied to a large Canada Goose. This procedure is always loud and occasionally messy. A sound that a defendant doesn’t want to hear in a court of law.

But come Monday morning, I put all this behind me. It was time to act like a big boy and do my civic duty. I stuffed my pockets with cough drops and Kleenex, and drove to the

courthouse to dispatch justice. It was kind of exciting.

Sniffling and clearing my throat, I entered the large room where everyone that gets summoned waits to receive further instructions, I told the check-in lady what my last name was and how many miles it was from my home to the court-house. With that, she checked some stuff on a piece of paper, handed me a pamphlet on what would be required of me, and gave me my juror badge. From this point on in life, I pretty much plan on always introducing myself as “Juror 86.”

As I turned my mucus-filled head to find a seat to plant myself, I did what I used to do back in high school. I searched out the seat that was the farthest from the front of the room and the closest to the door. I spied an empty chair between two other gentlemen in the back of the room, and I made a beeline for it. I probably would have had my own court case if anyone had tried to beat me to that chair.

As I sat there in that room, wait-ing for something to happen, I started reading the little pamphlet they gave me. I didn’t finish reading it because the third sentence had a big word in it. After a few minutes, they played a VHS tape again tell-ing us of our duties. With my eyes watering and a constant tickle in my throat, I sat there relishing in the fact that I was about to take part in assisting the American legal system, helping to preserve the very Consti-tution that makes this country the greatest place in the world. I con-tentedly leaned back in my chair.

I will give this one warning to anyone who is called to serve as a juror in Bureau County, Illinois. Be wary of the chairs. The particular chair that I was in, was made of a particularly sturdy kind of wooden construction with rollers on the bottom. The kind of chair that I can picture Gregory Peck using in “To Kill a Mockingbird.” I think it was pretty much exactly like everybody

else’s chair in the room, but to tell you the truth, I didn’t pay that much attention. My chair swiveled, and I think that it squeaked a little when I rotated to the left. Other than that, it was a good chair. Or so I thought.

When I leaned back in that chair, everything at first seemed fine and dandy. However, and I’m sure that anyone who has leaned back too far in a chair can attest, there is that certain tipping point when every thing rapidly changes from “peachy keen” to, “Oh my gosh! I’m going to look like an idiot when I fall out of this chair in the back row of the Bureau County Board of Supervi-sors board room!”

There is no more terrifying of a feeling in this world than thinking you have leaned back in a chair too far. Fortunately, I was able to pull myself out of this free fall and kept my seated altitude. Looking back, I doubt if I ever was in danger of going all the way to the floor, but that chair sure did give that imme-diate impression.

In fact, in mid-descent, as my head snapped back and my terri-fied, bloodshot eyes focused on the ceiling tiles of the room, I audibly uttered three-quarters of a four-letter word that I usually reserve for home repair projects and our cat. Luckily for me, my allergies were apparent to most of the potential jurors in the room, and the rows of people who sat in front of me just thought I sneezed. But those two guys I was sitting between ... I’m pretty sure they know I’m an unco-ordinated, foul-mouthed idiot that wreaks of Hall’s cherry, triple sooth-ing action cough drops.

To finish the story, after about 45 minutes of waiting, the judge came out and told all of us that due to some unforeseen circumstances, there would not be a case that morning, thanked us for our service and dismissed us. This was the clos-est to being an actual adult I’ve ever got.

You will have to excuse me now. I have a goose to squeeze.

Tigers tied up at ByronBy Jeff SchleSinger

[email protected]

BYRON — The Princ-eton Tigresses fought to a 1-1 tie with the Byron Tigers to finish out the regular season Thursday night.

From the Princeton end of things, it looked as if it was going to go quite dif-ferently as they dominated for 39 minutes of the first half. They kept the ball on the Byron side of the mid-dle line for virtually the whole time.

Senior Michelle Kelly scored on a direct kick in the 14th minute. Even the

rain which slowed play for about 10 minutes did not thwart Princeton’s attack on the Byron goal.

But then, in the 40th minute, Byron senior Katie Druien weaved in and out of the Princeton defense, crossed a kick to the front right post of the goal which rebounded to the left side of the net to tie the score at one with just 30 seconds remaining in the half.

“We gave them inspira-tion in the last two min-utes of the first half,” said Princeton coach Ed Young. “I’m not a big fan of ties. But we simply have to find a way to score more

goals.”The late goal in the first

half changed the momen-tum of the game, but it was not the only deter-mining factor that helped the Byron squad play to a draw against the favored and more talented Princ-eton team.

Not only was it Senior Night on the Byron pitch, but it was also a game dedicated to the recently deceased mother of Byron freshman Natalie Hilden.

Taggart Venegas led off the seventh with a single and was moved up on a sac by A.J. Gaeta. The Boilers issued an inten-tional walk to Miguel Villarreal before Trevor Urbanski grounded to the third baseman, who stepped on the bag for the force on Villareal.

Zach Urbanski stepped to the plate and deliv-ered the game-winner on a 1-2 count with a single to right center field.

Adam Sangston went 3-for-3 with a double and RBI. Villareal added a RBI double.

Schmtit also struck out eight and gave up one walk. PC’s Harold Fay pitched a five hitter, giving up only two earned runs and struck

out eight Hall batters.The difference in

the game was the PC defense. The Panthers made five errors on the field of which allowed two unearned runs.

Leading hitters for Hall included Colton Zibert who went one for three, with two RBIs, Trevor Urbanski and Z. Urban-ski, who had one hit apiece and Tyler Taber, who doubled.

For PC, Neal Stasell was one for three, with a triple, scoring the Pan-thers’ only run. Evan Kreiser got the Panthers’ only other hit in the con-test.

Rockridge 5, Princ-eton 0: If it wouldn’t have been for Isaiah Tay-lor, Rockridge freshman Justin Foy would have tossed a no-hitter in his varsity debut at Prather Field Wednesday. Taylor had three hits off Foy, who threw 105 pitches in the shutout.

PHS pitcher Caleb Dickens only gave up five hits, two RBI hits by Col-lin Downing.

Two seniors from Hall High School and anoth-er from St. Bede Acade-my have signed letters of intent to continue their athletic careers in college.

Katelyn Padgett, the BCR Bowler of the Year, will continue to roll for Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo. She said the size of the campus was just the right fit for her.

“It was the right size and has plenty to do in its town,” said Padgett. She will major in elementary education with a minor in special education.

She also looked at Nebraska University and

Spalding in Louisville, Ky.Classmate Trevor

Urbanski signed on with Benedictine University in Lisle to play football. He had also considered to play baseball, but in the end he wanted to do foot-ball and Benedictine was the right place for him.

He found the campus to be “beautiful and the coaches were so respect-ful.” He plans to study accounting and was impressed to see they are building a new business building.

At St. Bede, Gabby Men-doza has signed with St. Ambrose University to golf next fall. She had consid-ered several other schools, including Bradley, Mar-

quette and Augustana, but said she found it to have a St. Bede-like atmosphere.

“I’ve heard so highly about it,” she said. “It’s far enough, but not too far and is a friendly-hospita-ble environment. I could just see myself going there and belonging.”

Mendoza, who will major in exercise sci-ence and kinesiology, was especially pleased with St. Ambrose’s physical therapy program, which is regarded one of the best in the Midwest.

BCR Spring Series

RoundupTigers topple Bruins 8-1

BCR photo/Mke VaughnPHS senior Zach Hicks makes a return in Thursday’s win over St. Bede.

BY BCR SpoRtS [email protected]

The Princeton Tigers defended the home-courts and nets Thursday, defeating the St. Bede Bruins 8-1.

Princeton gained sin-gles wins from Zach Hicks (6-1, 6-4), Lucas Bauer (6-1, 6-4), Jake Reeverts (6-1, 6-1), Mason Hunt (6-1, 6-0) and Chris Lay-ton. In doubles play, PHS wins came from Brady Frank and Tyson Loren-zen (6-1, 6-0), Connor Bays and Hunt (7-6, 6-3)

and Ryan Owens and Pat-rick Arabia (6-3, 6-4).

Only a win by the Bru-ins’ Max Moskalewicz at No. 3 singles prevented the Tiger sweep.

TrackAt Granville: St. Bede

sophomore John Barnes set a couple of Academy F/S school records in Wednesday’s PC Invite with a second-place throw of 48-1 in the shot put and 142-3 in the dis-cus.

Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com. booming shot in the

76th minute, was quite clear about her inspira-tion.

“It was for Natalie,” she said. “I couldn’t be more proud of our team. Com-ing in as a freshman I would never have thought we could tie a team like Princeton. I couldn’t be more happy with my team. They had my back, and I had theirs.”

Hilden, who started and played the first 10 min-utes of both halves, lost her mother Sheila Hilden to a battle with congestive heart failure on April 27. She now lives with junior teammate Heidi Galster.

Both Galster and Druien say Hilden is their inspira-tion.

“I was blessed to have Natalie come into my home,” said Galster. “She’s been a blessing of strength. Everyone looks at her and sees how strong she is. I know everyone says that we have her back but she is the one who keeps us strong. We’re together as a team.”

Prior to the game there was the recognition of the seniors. But in addi-tion, Hilden’s teammates donned special shirts in memory of her mother, both Tigers teams – Byron

and Princeton – gathered in unity in the middle of the field for a moment of silence, and there was a balloon release.

“It means a lot to hear Katie say that,” said Hilden. “All year I’ve been looking for a spot that I can fit in. And now I have so many sisters that I’ve never had. It’s a good feel-ing.”

The second half of the game looked much more like an even match. If time of possession were kept, it may show an advantage to Princeton, but not a huge one.

With the exception of a shot off the foot of soph-omore Eliza Young right at Byron goalie Lyndsey Schultz and a strong shot off the left foot of junior Kim Schlesinger that went just wide left, there were no serious attacks on the Byron goal.

The story was not much different for the Byron Tigers with the exception of the aforementioned booming shot off the foot of Druien which found senior goal keeper Kelly Schmidt making a coura-geous stop.

“She got through on a break away and my stom-ach kinda got in the way. I think that one will leave a bruise – a tattoo of the ball,” Schmidt said.

The game ended with a flurry in front of the Byron net, but Princeton could

not get a clean shot off and the time ran out with the teams in a draw.

Princeton has recorded a shutout in each of their wins on the year as well as one of their ties.

“I think the goal [at the end of the first half] definitely helped them,” Schmidt said. “They were all pretty inspired by what they were playing for

today with their teammate and her family. I think that definitely helped them.”

Both teams will host their regional tourna-ments as the No. 2 seed. Byron will face confer-ence foe Winnebago Tues-day while Princeton will square off against DePue Wednesday.

Tractor Trek signups available

Farm Bureau lists labor pool

Telling agriculture’s story fosters trust in farmingThe Bureau County Farm

Bureau Foundation will spon-sor the third annual Tractor Trek on June 21. Funds raised this year will be used for the Ag in the Classroom program.

Pre-registration is required. A registration from must be completed and turned in by June 6. There is a $50 regis-tration fee. Refreshments and lunch will be provided.

For more information, con-tact Dave Doty at 815-739-5983 or the Bureau County Farm Bureau at 815-875-6468.

The Bureau County Farm Bureau Young Leader Com-mittee has wrapped up its farm labor pool application period. This listing for Bureau County residents interested in full- or part-time agricultural related labor has now been complied. The list is available at the Farm Bureau Office in Princeton.

The Farm Bureau does not intend this listing to be an endorsement of any persons and will not be responsible for any actions of the workers. Farmers can contact the Farm Bureau to have a list sent to them.

Today more than ever, people are interested in what’s in their food and how it’s grown. Unfortunately, many people know little about agriculture – from my non-farming neighbors here in Bureau County to those in more urban and suburban areas like Chicago.

I’ve been very inter-ested in telling the story of agriculture and let-ting people know where their food comes from because misunderstand-ings and unanswered questions can lead to distrust in common farming practices. Do you know what Bureau County farmers grow?

• 7.3 million bushels of soybeans (2013).

• 53.8 million bushels of corn (2013).

• $28.7 million in live-stock sales (annually) – mostly from cattle and hogs.

I’ve found that straightforward con-versations and per-sonal relationships can increase confidence in food and in farmers. The Illinois Soybean Association supports

the Illinois Farm Fami-lies initiative and U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance (USFRA), which provide opportunities for farmers to connect with consumers and answer questions about food and farming.

For example, last week I attended a pri-vate screening of “Farm-land,” a documentary by Academy award-win-ning filmmaker James Moll, sponsored by Illinois Farm Families and USFRA. The movie offers an intimate, first-hand glimpse into the lives of six young farm-ers and ranchers across the United States, chronicling their high-risk/high-reward jobs and their passion for a way of life that has been passed down from gen-eration to generation.

Influential Chicago-area bloggers and Illinois Farm Families Field Moms attended

and then participated in a panel discussion with Illinois farmers. I visited with movie-goers before and after the screening to answer additional questions one-on-one. One Chicago blogger who’s toured several Illinois farms through the Illinois Farm Fami-lies Field Mom program wrote, “The film does a good job of de-mys-tifying aspects of the industry by opening up the gates and parad-ing viewers through the barns and fields of America.”

Some Chicago-area moms are visiting the barns and fields of Illi-nois themselves and sharing their experi-ences through their own blogs and the Illinois Farm Families blog at www.WatchUsGrow.org.

I’m also working on a project to tell the story of agriculture at the National Museum of American History of the Smithsonian Institution. The exhibit, American Enterprise, will show how industry, manufac-turing and agriculture move through history

together, and will help visitors understand how advances in agriculture supply our food. This exhibit is scheduled to open in May 2015.

Internet research, films and museum exhibits help tell our story, but first-hand experience makes the strongest impact. For Bureau County resi-dents, the story of agri-culture is a local one, making first-hand expe-rience a real possibility.

Bureau County farm-ers can make an impact in our own communi-ties. As tractors roll through the fields, an open-door policy makes a difference in how people perceive farm-ing. Farmers should, and many already do, welcome folks to the farm. But conversation is a two-way street. It is easy to fall into farmer-speak. I forget that my idea of an eleva-tor (grain facility) may be very different from someone else’s idea of an elevator (easier to take than the stairs).

For those who don’t farm, where do you

go for answers to your questions about food and farming? Con-sider local farmers the first source to go to for answers. After all, you know us. Our kids attend school together, and we shop at the same grocery stores. Ask us your questions, or ask if you can visit a farm. Just remember that this time of year, we’re very busy.

Experiences with Illinois farmers help us become more cred-ible than the misguided information often found online and in mainstream media. As farmers, we want to be a trusted resource for food decisions or for forming opinions about agricultural practices. Have questions about telling your story or looking for answers from a local source? The Illinois Farm Families website, www.WatchUs-Grow.org, is a great place to start.
