PRINCETON – After five years as Bureau Coun-ty United Way Executive Director, Michelle Lymbe-ropoulos has decided to step down from the position and retire.

“I have had the opportuni-ty to help people in a variety of areas throughout these last five years and have learned a lot about their desire to survive the tough times, provide for their fam-ilies, find employment, live without the constant worry of where their child’s next meal is coming from, how to keep their family in their homes, pay utilities, etc,” she said.

Lymberopoulos explained she took the position in July 2008 because she had always enjoyed helping oth-ers.

“I felt I was always suited for non-profit work,” she said.

Lymberopoulos admits there have been difficult tasks throughout the years. When she took over the position, it was right around the economy’s recession, and tough times called for tough decisions.

Lymberopoulos said fun-draising in a bad economy and seeing an increased need for help while work-ing with less donated dollars were tough challenges.

“Referral services have increased in the last several years due to the economy, and unemployment has also risen,” she said.

Under her direction, how-ever, the Bureau County United Way has seen numer-ous positive changes such as an increase in volunteer numbers, added annual fun-draisers like Trivia Night and an increase in aware-ness of how Bureau County United Way benefits the sur-rounding communities.

TISKILWA — Ground was broken Fri-day for a 3,800-square-foot addition to the Tiskilwa Library.

Village and state officials joined library board members at the ceremony held where the new library will open its doors after construction is finished. The existing library will become a community meeting place after it is renovated.

Wayne Nowlan of ATSE Consultants of Peoria, the architect for the project, said at an open house in May the existing library’s drop ceiling will be removed to reveal the original tin ceiling. The current non-oper-ational clock and bell tower on the library building’s roof will be removed during the renovation.

There will be an interior ramp from the new addition to the existing library with an exterior ramp located at the building’s north side for handicap accessibility. There

will also be two handicapped parking spots in front of the new addition that will be the main entrance into both buildings.

The estimated cost of the project is $1,016,600 with $504,241 of that coming from an Illinois State Library Public Library Construction Act Grant; the remaining $512,000 represents the local share.

The Friends of Library’s fundraising goal for the project is $100,000 with $48,615 in donations and pledges collected so far. The remaining funds will come from

PRINCETON – Little “buccaneers” swarmed the Festival 56 production set of Treasure Island Sunday afternoon for a special Lunch with a Pirate event hosted by Learning Stage, the education com-mittee of Princeton Theater Group and Festival 56.

Attendees were asked to come dressed as their favorite pirate and make up a swashbuckling pirate name as they were invited to play games, make crafts, learn pirate songs and dive into the story of “Treasure Island.”

“Treasure Island” is a classic tale about a 12-year-old cabin boy Jim Hawkins and the greatest anti-hero, Long John Silver. The story was written by Robert Louis

Stevenson and provides an action-packed story of sailing, mutiny and buried trea-sure.

About 26 guests were provided a lunch right on set as they mingled with “Trea-sure Island” pirate actors Patrick Poole, Kurt Bilanoski and Kelsie Brejcha and the production’s set designer Chris Gadomski.

Gadomski explained his designs for the set and how he was able to mastermind the creation which has temporarily taken over the Princeton High School Council

Relay for Life continues its fight against cancerBy Donna Barker

[email protected]

SPRING VALLEY — The mission of Relay for Life of Bureau County is to give hope to people affect-ed by cancer and to raise funds for the American Cancer Society, according to spokesperson Shirley Morse.

For nearly 20 years, Relay for Life of Bureau County has put feet to its mission by organizing an overnight walk fundraiser at the Hall High School track in Spring Valley. Friendships and support groups have been formed. Throughout the years, $1,344,258 has been raised for the American Cancer Society.

On Aug. 2, Bureau

County area residents and guests are encouraged to participate in the next Relay for Life walk, which begins at 5 p.m. with a free survivor dinner for survivors and their guests, followed by the official kick-off at 6:30 p.m. The event continues through the night until 5 a.m. Aug. 3. with a closing ceremo-ny. Of course, people may come and go as needed, Morse said.

The idea of taking the Relay for Life fundraiser through the night each year is to symbolize how cancer doesn’t sleep, Morse said. The darkest hours of the night represent the dark-est times of chemotherapy and treatment, but with the breaking of day comes hope, she added.

Morse said the entire evening is filled with meaningful experiences. Traditionally, among the most moving moments are those designated for the survivor lap, in which cancer survivors walk the track as a group, the lap honoring caregivers, and the luminaria lap, in which a luminaria bag is lit for someone who has had cancer, whether they are a survivor or not.

The evening also includes live music, a crazy hat and shoe lap, a treasure hunt and a wheelbarrow lap. This year’s scheduled guest speakers are Jessica (Wallace) Sergeant, for-merly of Walnut, who is in the midst of her can-cer battle, and caregiver

Dawn Dieckman from the Galesburg area, whose preschool son died from cancer.

Every aspect of the eve-ning will focus on giv-ing hope to people and helping them and their families to realize they aren’t in the battle alone, Morse said.

Funds raised through Relay for Life of Bureau County go to the Ameri-can Cancer Society and are used primarily for cancer research. Funds are also used for vari-ous other educational and support programs, like a wig program to pro-vide free wigs to cancer patients, with Sophis-ticuts Salon & Day Spa in Princeton working on the local program.

On a personal note, Morse said she has been involved in Relay for Life since 2007 and as official co-chairman for

the annual Relay For Life annual event for the past three years. Morse became a widow at the age of 30, when she lost her husband, Jim Morse, to cancer.

In the beginning, Relay for Life was a way to give back, a way to keep her husband’s memory close and to feel like she was making a difference for other people, Morse said. As time has gone on, she has realized also she wants her career to be involved with working with cancer patients.

But for now, looking ahead to Aug. 2-3, Morse said she wants people to come to the event, to enjoy being with others who have experienced their own battles with cancer, and then to take a sense of hope with them when they leave.

“”I want them to take hope with them because there are so many people who care about them. I want them to know they are not alone,” Morse said. “Also, I want them to have hope because we are making strides in can-cer research, and maybe our kids and our grand-kids won’t have to deal with cancer like we’ve had to do.”

PRINCETON — At this weekend’s Beef and Ag Days in Princeton, the Bureau County Farm Bureau, Bureau County Pork Producers Associa-tion and the Bureau Coun-ty Cattleman’s Association awarded the 2013 Bureau County Agricultural Ser-vice Award to Don and Arkie Grubb.

The purpose for this award is to provide an opportunity for Bureau County agricultural orga-nizations and businesses to honor individuals who have given exemplary leader-ship and service to agricul-ture and farmers in Bureau County and beyond.

To qualify, a nomi-nee must be a resident of Bureau County who has given exemplary leader-ship and service to agri-culture in Bureau County and/or a broad segment of the region, state or nation. A nominee must have provided service to agriculture but may come from disciplines that serve other areas in addition to agriculture i.e. education, research, public relations, agribusiness, public affairs and other areas. Such indi-viduals should also have a history of giving time and/or resources to promote the aims, programs and services of Bureau County agricultural organizations.

According to the Farm Bureau, their nominating organization, the Grubbs were chosen for this award because they fit this award description, as their involvement in activi-

ties both on and off the farm has been above and beyond most individuals in this industry.

Don served on the Bureau County Pork Producers board, Bureau County Soil and Water Conserva-tion District Board and the Bureau County Farm Bureau Board, holding var-ious volunteer positions. He also served as District 5 director on the Illinois Pork Producers Executive Board and was a delegate to National Pork Produc-ers Council for one year. For his efforts he received the state “Top Superior Pork Award” in 1980 and received the Bureau Coun-ty Outstanding Service Award in 1981.

Don volunteered on the County Cooperative Exten-sion Service Ag Council and the Extension Admin-istration Council for sever-al years. He also served on the Cooperative Extension State Advisory Committee (to Dr. Oswald) and as a delegate to the Extension Layman’s Conference in Washington, D.C., in 1985. He was chosen as Prairie Farmers Master Farmer in 1988.

Don was a host farm-er for the Bureau County Soil and Water Conserva-tion Districts No-Till Soy-bean Plots in 1984 and has been an active promoter of Soil and Water Conserva-tion practices. The couple was the recipient of the Conservation Farm Family Award in 1995.

Off the farm, Don has served many years in vari-

ous leadership positions with the Buda Methodist Church, including serving as the co-chair of the build-ing committee of the Bun-ker Hill Church Building in Buda.

Arkie served on the Bureau County Pork Pro-ducers Board and on the Illinois Pork Producers

Association Board. There she held various volun-teer positions. For eight years she also attended the three-day trip to Chicago with the Pork Producers Ambassadors, serving as chair for four years.

Arkie served on the nominating committee for the Bureau County Farm

Bureau for two years and volunteered with the Ag the Classroom from the creation, serving on the committee for the first three years.

As a member of the Bun-ker Hill Church of God of Buda, she sang in the choir, taught Bible school and was the activity coor-

dinator for wedding and funerals, etc. She also served on many women’s committees as well as helping Don (being co-chair) with the building of the new church.

Together they have raised Belted Galloway cattle, goats and buffalo. They rent their land and hog farm out to surround-ing producers and like to spend time with their horses. They have helped Harold Steele show off his horse-powered corn shell-er and have opened their operation for farm tours for local educators.

Don and Arkie have seven children, 17 grand-children and four great-grandchildren. For years they have been actively involved in a number of farm organizations and boards and have been rec-ognized on both the local and state level. In their retirement they spend winters in Arizona riding horses in the mountains.

“We the peopletea party”

the library board saving about $265,000 in funds throughout the years and a loan up to $250,000 from a local bank to be repaid over 20 years. The final loan amount will depend on donations.

Library trustees on March 3, 2001, set a goal to complete a major physical plant change (by either renovating the cur-rent building or building a new library) to make the library handicapped accessible and able to serve the community for the next 50 years.

The 3,800-square-foot

addition to the Tiskilwa Library, built in 1908, will be attached to the current building and placed on two lots bought by the library board. Vot-ers rejected a referendum in 2010 to issue $1.8 mil-lion in bonds for a new library.

Rich Foss, president of the Tiskilwa Library Board, discovered in 2011 the state of Illinois was offering new construction grants for historic librar-ies that were more than 100 years old.

Foss said Tiskilwa Pub-lic Library’s application was one of 15 libraries in Illinois to be accepted. There were 60 libraries who applied for the con-

struction grants.State Librarian Jesse

White notified the Tiskilwa Public Library on July 3, 2012, that it was entitled to receive a Fiscal Year 2013 Illinois Public Library Construc-tion Act Grant. One of the stipulations of the grant application was that the library build-ing couldn’t have under-gone any major modifi-cations to even submit an application. Another requirement to apply for the state grant was that the library had to own the property where the library was situated, which meant in Tiskilwa, the village had to transfer ownership of the land to

the library board.The Hein Construction

Co. of Peoria will be the general contractor for the project after it was awarded the bid for the renovation and addition on June 3.

The first library in Bureau County was cre-ated in 1875 when seven members of the Owl Club each contributed $3 to launch the Tiskilwa Library Association. In 1894, the Tiskilwa Pub-lic Library was created under state law, and the Tiskilwa Library Associa-tion was formally turned over to the library board and management.

It’s difficult believe it’s 4-H Fair time already! Wow! When I was a kid, the onset of the 4-H Fair meant it wouldn’t be long until the Bureau County Fair rolled into town ... followed by that first school bell ringing, calling us back to school.

I hope you’ll take some time this week to check out the 4-H Fair, held at the Bureau County Fair-grounds and beginning on Thursday. You’ll see a host of great projects and animals, all created and developed by area youth. It’s impressive, and I never walk through the 4-H Fair without being positively influ-enced with what I see. On top of that, I think it’s great for our area youth to see the public admiring their work and applauding their efforts.

While you’re there, you’ll also see a host of adults — parents, volunteers and other supporters of 4-H. Make sure you give them a well-deserved pat on the back, since they are the driving force that helps youthful dreams to soar. You’ll also see a lot of awards — ribbons, trophies, plaques, etc., but I contend each and every 4-H member is already a winner for their participation in this fabulous organization. I’ll see you there.

•••Last week, the Bureau County Republican, Ton-

ica News and Putnam County Record said farewell and good luck to one of our colleagues — Barb Kromphardt. For the past nearly 11 years, she was a staff writer for the BCR and most recently the managing editor at the Putnam County Record and Tonica News. Barb will be pursuing other adven-tures and endeavors in her new home in Indiana.

Many of you have known Barb for several years, and just as many of you have worked with her on various stories. Her absence will definitely leave a hole in our newsroom that will be difficult to fill. She will be missed. On behalf of the entire staff at the BCR, we wish Barb the very best.

•••Wow! Last weekend was tremendously busy.

There were activities all around the county, and clearly, there was no shortage of food, fun and good times. Beef & Ag Days in Princeton, Music on Main in Sheffield, the Buda Picnic, Z-Tour in Princ-eton, Ole Fashun Threshun Days in Ohio ... You gotta love Bureau County and the folks who help organize these events for your enjoyment. If you see any of the people who help orchestrate these events, make sure you tell them what a great job they did. It takes countless hours of energy, time and a good share of talent and money to pull these events off — they should be congratulated.

By the way, there were so many activities going on, we didn’t have room for all the photos we took on the weekend, so look for them in upcoming edi-tions of the BCR and Bureau County Journal.

•••The 5 p.m. Aug. 1 deadline to submit your

nomination for Illinois Valley Living’s Women of Distinction Award is drawing near. This award is geared toward those women in our lives who go the extra mile to make life better for those around them. We all know a woman of distinction ... I hope you’ll take this opportunity to nominate them for this well-deserved award. Nomination forms can be found in all editions of the BCR and the Bureau County Journal, online on our website at www.bcrnews.com, or you can stop by our office in Princeton and pick up a form. Questions? Give me call at 815-875-4461, ext. 229.

•••Thought for the day: “Whoever said anybody has

a right to give up?” Marian Wright Edelman.Thought for tomorrow: “It’s not what happens to

you, but how you react that matters.” Epictetus.•••

It seems like I always have a mountain of things on my “to do” list. It never ends. But life does end, and I need to remember there are some things that shouldn’t wait — like spending time with family and friends ... and taking time for yourself. And remem-ber ... you are important to me and the BCR.

From the editor’s desk

You’re invited ...To the Editor,

I am a regular attend-ee of the twice-monthly Princeton City Coun-cil meetings. In fact, I have attended just about every meeting for the past five years. I’m interested in the issues facing our city and want to see how our elected officials address them. On most Monday nights, I am the only resi-dent in the audience, but since the flooding this past spring, there are some new faces. These folks are attend-

ing because they want to know how the city will resolve the sewer problems. I am encour-aged to see new people attend the council meetings. Their voices will make a difference on how our city council makes decisions.

In the past two years, the dialog and interac-tion between council members has increased dramatically. This is due in part to new com-missioners elected in the last two years. The new members have sparked open discus-sions about a myriad of

issues including sewers, the new water treat-ment plant, conditions of the city parks and much more. For years, public dialog and debate over issues voted on by the council rarely occurred. Resolutions were simply approved without discussion. Well, that’s all changed now.

It’s time for you to consider attending the council meetings. They are lively and informa-tive. You will hear your elected officials express their opinions and see how your tax dollars are

being spent. If you have something you want to add to the discussion, the “Public Comment” portion of the agenda allows citizens to address the council. All in all, it is democracy in action, and as citizens, we should all take part in governing our city. The meetings start at 7 p.m. on the first and third Monday of the month at City Hall. If you cannot attend, you can watch videos of past council meetings on the city website.

Specialized Rehabilitation Services

“The care at Liberty Village wentway beyond my expectations”

I recently had a hip replacement and I heard that Liberty Village had a wonderful Bounce Back physical rehabilitation department. I visited the facility and it felt more like a week-end retreat. I was a little anxious but after seeing the beautiful facilities and meeting with the administrator and department heads I became relaxed. The staff, nurses and CNA’s are all very conscientious of your needs and extremely willing to help you any way they can. Their main objective is to work with you to get you back to your full potential and to be able to go home. The food is excellent and you get choices with plenty to eat. The over-all care was excellent. I would definitely return to Liberty Village if the need ever arose again. I thank them all from the bottom of my heart!

Cardinals rule in B LeagueBy BCR SpoRtS Staff

[email protected]

It was the Cardinal rule in the Western Bureau Valley League B League Softball tournament at LaMoille

The Princeton Cardinals swept four games to capture the tournament championship, capped by a 7-2 win over the Princeton Tigers in Sunday’s championship game. Katelyn Matznick had two doubles and Paige Smith doubled to lead the Cardinals offense. Kendra Cain, Brook Stowe and Brianna Segerstrom also hit safely.

Cards pitcher Adrienne Snethen picked up her fourth win of the week, striking out six and allowing three hits. She also pitched shutouts over Walnut Blue (6-0) and Wal-nut Green (3-0) and hurled the Cardinals to an 8-3 win over the Tigers Saturday to advance into the championship game.

New name, same racing

game at DePueBy Kevin HieRonymuS

DEPUE — This week-end’s boat racing at Lake DePue may go by a new name this year, but it will be same game when it comes to national-class competition.

The Lake DePue Nation-al Championship Boat races will take to Lake DePue for the 29th con-secutive year sponsored by the DePue’s Men’s Club, bringing thousands of race fans to the tiny Bureau County village. The races were formerly known as the APBA PRO National Boat races, but a change in affiliation this year brought about a name change.

Bryant said that the U.S. Title series, the governing body for the DePue races, left its association with the American Power Boat Association in favor of the National Boat Racing Association, in part due to insurance purposes.

“We’re going to have the same races,” Bryant said. “They told us we could name the race any-thing we wanted and we feel the best racers in that class are going to be here. It is in our opinion a national championship so were going to call it Lake DePue National Champi-onship Boat Races. It’s going to be a great week of racing.”

There will be national championships on the line in 18 different class-es. Racing begins at noon Friday at Lake DePue with competition in the OSY 400 Hydroplane, C Rac-

DePue native Paul Bosnich III is the defending champion in the 125cc Run-about.

A year ago the DePue Men’s Club frantically fought against low-water level on Lake DePue that had the annual event in jeopardy until DePue and surrounding communities rallied around a damming project. This year, Bryant happily reports the water level is rising, thanks largely to having a 100-foot barge sunk to dam up the Illinois River channel.

“It’s looking good,” Bryant said. “We did get the dam in and we’re trapping quite a bit of water. We are pumping trying to maintain the water that is here and maybe raise it some more. We had a couple leaks here and there, but we got it tied off on both sides. We’re not losing any water and we should start gaining some.”

While there is nothing written in stone what the level has to be, Bryant said, the capsule racers like to have five-feet of water.

“That’s what we want. We’re close. I think we’re at four and a half to five feet,” Bryant said.

Bryant is still amazed how DePue was able to save last year’s races, but didn’t doubt they could pull it off.

“We weren’t sure we could get that water in there not having any experi-ence at it, realizing we had such a larg-er area. But it all worked out,” Bryant said. “I’m very proud of all the people that helped us. It was a very humbling experience I think for our little village having everybody from all over the area pitching and helping us.

“It was a real nice thing to be a part of it and everybody likes to be a part of success stories. It just turned out to be something really neat for our town. It’s always rewarding when you see so many people jump up to support your cause.”

It isn’t unusual for a fossil hunter to occasionally find a fossil or two, but when paleontologist Dr. Michael Voorhies was looking for fossils near Orchard, Neb., he found a lot more! “Near sundown on a long day of fossil prospecting,” Voorhies remembers, “I was walking along the valley rim above a creek. In cuts and slopes, erosion had laid bare a bed of silvery gray volcanic ash— the fossil-bearing kind—sandwiched between layers of sandstone.”

Voorhies discovered part of a baby rhinoceros skull sticking out of the ash. As Voorhies dug deeper, he found an entire baby rhinoceros skeleton! The skeleton was fully articulated, which means that all the bones were still intact and neatly laid out in order.

Over the next few days, Voorhies and his team discovered 12 more complete skeletons from an area no larger than your classroom.

•••••

ore than 11 million years ago, a huge volcanic

eruption in what is now Idaho blanketed northeastern Nebraska with about a foot of ash.

Many of the animals in the area,

which later came to be called Ashfall, were

grass eaters. As they foraged through the ash to find and eat grass, they breathed in the fine, deadly

ash. Within a few days, their lungs had filled with ash, and they suffocated.

Over the next few days, winds blew the loose ash around. Eventually the ash settled in the lowest places. The fossils that Voorhies found were in an ancient watering hole that got covered by about eight feet of ash. The ash covered the animals completely, keeping their remains safe from predators and other destruction for millions of years.

here is no other site in the world like Ashfall. Rhinos, horses, camels, birds, and turtles were all caught in the falling ash. Their quick death and burial preserved not only their skeletons, but in some cases the food in their stomachs when they died. The remains of undigested food help scientists understand the plant life and eating habits of animals that lived millions of years ago.

Ash has covered some of the words in the story below.

Can you decide where each word

here belongs?

Voorhies had discovered the remains of mammals that were more than 11 million years old. These animals had died at a watering hole following a massive volcanic eruption in what is now the state of Idaho.
