Comets fall to Lena-Winslow
in cross-conference battle
LENA — Fireworks were
metaphorically flying, in an
offensive display, as 25 runs
were scored between the LenaWinslow Panthers and the Sterling Newman Central Catholic
Comets, in a game played on
Monday, May 9.
Lena-Winslow would come
back from a second inning, 9-1
deficit, to edge their guests,
15-10.
The Panthers scored their
first run in the bottom of the
first inning and followed it up
with five more in the second.
Heading into the third inning,
the Comets maintained the 9-6
edge.
Neither team would score
again until the fifth inning,
where Lena-Winslow tallied
eight runs, to grab the 14-9
advantage.
In the bottom of the sixth, the
Panthers scored their final run.
The Comets scored their final
run in the top of the seventh
inning, but could not manufacture enough offense to keep the
game going.
Trey Chenong picked up the
win in relief, after he pitched
five and one-third innings
strong.
Conference play continued for Lena-Winslow as they
played host to the co-op of
Pecatonica and Durand.
In the Thursday, May 12 battle, the Panthers came up short,
as they fell 20-10, even after a
hot start.
Lena-Winslow scored first, as
they plated five runs in the bottom of the first inning.
One half-inning later, the
Indians responded, as they
scored four runs of their own.
Lena-Winslow scored two
runs in the bottom of the second to claim a three-run advantage, but could not shutdown
the co-op in the top of the third,
as they answered with two runs
of their own.
A quiet fourth inning saw
the Panthers enter the fifth still
holding on to a one-run lead,
7-6.
The game changed quickly,
as Pecatonica-Durand batted in
the top of the fifth.
The Panthers could not find
the out, as their guests scored
eight runs and took the commanding 14-7 edge.
Lena-Winslow battled back
in the bottom of the fifth, but
the two-runs scored would
only cut into the ever-growing
advantage, slightly.
The Indians came right back
in the top of the sixth inning and
scored two runs in response.
Heading into the home half
of the sixth inning, the Panthers
were again looking at a seven
run disadvantage, as they found
themselves down 16-9.
Pec-Durand scored four runs
in the top of the seventh inning,
which gave them the elevenrun advantage.
The game was allowed to
continue, even though the tenrun mark had been eclipsed.
The Panthers scored a single
run in the bottom of the seventh, leading to the final of
20-10.
Noah Peight was credited
with three hits in the game for
Lena-Winslow.
On Friday, May 13, LenaWinslow fell to Milledgeville,
7-1.
The game would be decided

LENA — Rain, Rain, go
away! As I sit here to write this,
I see the sun is trying to shine
through. I could sure go for
about a week of sunshine! This
weather sure makes the grass
grow. Hard to get it mowed in
between rains! I guess we are
never happy.
Soon it will get hot and probably dry, and we won’t be happy
with that either.
We will be having book discussion on May 18. That is a week
earlier than usual, so remember
to mark your calendars. Plan to
join us, we can even set up three
tables if needed!
The computer classes are
done for right now. The last
class was May 4. The class was
on Android phones: taught by
Erik Korte and went very well.
We will probably offer classes
again in the fall if there is an
interest.

The after school and story
hour programs have wound
down. Last week the after school
group had a pizza party to end
their program. Besides having
the pizza party, they enjoyed
playing bingo and designed a
springtime bookmark.
The winners of the umbrella
contest were announced. The
winners were:
David Sorcia for design and
abstract, Aiden Foley for making an actual robin out of the
umbrella, Max Duncan for a
spring scene with robin, Preston
Schulz for a springtime design,
and Bailey Pontnack for a rainbow design. The children were

late, however, as the Missiles
scored four runs over the final
two innings of play.
Milledgeville scored its first
run in the top of the second
and followed it up with two
runs in the third.
The Panthers scored their
only run of the game in the
bottom of the third and looked
at a two-run deficit, into the
sixth, down 3-1.
Lena-Winslow was outhit
in the game, by a margin of
five-four, but, committed five
errors in the loss.
The regular season’s final
game, against the Stillman
Valley Cardinals, was played
on Monday, May 16.
Details of the finale are not
available at this time.
The playoffs begin for the
Panthers on Thursday, May 19,
as they battle in the FreeportAquin Regional.
Lena-Winslow was issued
the number three seed and
is favored to win its opening
round game against the co-op
of Scales Mound/River Ridge,
which was issued the five seed.
A win by Lena-Winslow
could put them on a path to
take on the host of the Class
1A opener, Aquin, on Saturday, May 21.
The winner from the Aquin
Regional will take on the survivor from the Ashton-Franklin Center Regional, in which
Sterling Newman is the top
seed.

able to pick out themselves.
Congratulations to all!!
The umbrellas were all really
neat!
Last week the preschool storyhour group had a flower theme:
springtime books, Where is the
Green Sheep and What Does
Bunny See were read. A craft of
springtime animals with flowers was made. There was a fox,
owl, and turtle and all were very
cute. A neat thing for mom to
put on the fridge or hang up
somewhere!
This week was their last time,
so they had an ice cream sundae
party. Book read was Caterpillar
Spring, Butterfly Summer. The
children all enjoyed the sundaes
which they brought their favorite topping for, and Ms. Kathy
had a great time squirting the
whip cream! The kids all made
a spring time bookmark with
a rainbow tie. After all of this,
Ms. Kathy had a gift from her to
each child. The girls all got nail
polish and the boys got a hot
wheel vehicle. All of the children received a rainbow pencil.
What a great end to a great
year!!! Parents don’t forget
about Summer Reading. Signup will begin June 6. Hope to
see you all then!

Heidi Gahm wins
International Chapter
of the Year Award
WHITEWATER, Wis. —
Heidi Gahm a junior marketing major from Lena, Il., won
the International Chapter of
the Year Award as a part of
the UW-Whitewater American
Marketing Association (AMA)
chapter.
AMA won the award for the
fifth consecutive year at the
International Collegiate Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana.
“Each year there is a whole
new set of leaders and members who are working hard to
maintain our position as the
top chapter,” said Jimmy Peltier, AMA adviser since 1986.
“There are 350 chapters competing to become the International Chapter of the Year,
so to dominate for so long is
quite a testament to our students, college and university.
It is very rewarding to see
so many advisers and student
members from other chapters
come up to me to acknowledge our efforts over such a
long period of time.”
In addition to winning International Chapter of the Year,
the chapter finished third in
the country in the Case Team
competition, the 10th time in
11 years that the AMA team
made the finals.
Beginning in September, the
chapter members spent countless hours gathering research
to put together their presentation for the Hershey Icebreaker Cool Blast case. Once the
chapter was notified in January that its case solution had
made it to the finals, months
were spent perfecting their client pitch to Hershey executives at the conference.

suggestions. By competing in a
national competition like this,
it puts Highland on the map.” All work was done on an
identical mannequin and had
to be done in a classroom setting, under strict supervision
by the instructor. Judging was
done via the internet. The
Highland students were among
four schools from the state of
Illinois that competed in the
national competition. Their
mannequins are currently on
display on the clinic floor. For more on the Cosmetology program at Highland, contact Amy Chamberlin at (815) Elizabeth student

STATELINE — Last week
was a busy one in Springfield.
Things are moving again.
Rank-and-file members of
both parties negotiated a deal
at the lunch table to send
emergency funds to colleges, universities and students
across Illinois. It was a temporary fix, but I’m optimistic
that both sides are beginning
to agree on things. The Governor signed the appropriation
measure Senate Bill 2059 into
law this week which released
$600 million from the State’s
Education Assistance Fund.
The Comptroller has stated
that although there is only
$345 million in the Education
Assistance Fund, it is enough
to immediately pay student
MAP grants and she will work
closely with colleges and universities to avoid further cuts
and closings. The Education
Assistance fund should have
the $600 million on hand by
June 30.
It’s amazing how we solve
problems when we work
together. For too long, it has
been a battle between the
Speaker and the Governor.

it means you are strong and

STATE
REPRESENTATIVE
The most vulnerable people in
this state rely on us to get the
job done. It saddens me that
these people have become
collateral damage in this ten
month long fight. This week
I saw a glimpse of light at the
end of the tunnel, but there
are still a lot of things to discuss.
Earlier last week, the House
voted on a massive tax hike on
small businesses. If you are a
business owner or simply a
citizen who’s against taxes,
rest assured our Republican
opposition guaranteed that the
bill failed to pass, but it is an
example of the challenges we
face. State government can do
more with taxpayer dollars.
We need to ask ourselves if
we’re spending wisely before
saying that we need to take
more from the citizens of Illinois.
Illinois has some of the highest sales and property taxes in
the United States. The state’s
sales tax is the tenth highest
in the country. When you
combine those two tax levies, the outcome is a crushing
burden on small businesses.
Some small businesses may
be able to afford an additional

ten percent tax, but the majority struggle to break-even.
Thankfully, Illinois has a
low income tax rate as its
saving grace. Experts have
said that the proposal would
bring Illinois up to the third
most taxed state in the country, behind New York and
New Jersey. I am afraid that
if we were to raise income
taxes on the seventy percent
of small businesses, it would
eliminate our last competitive
advantage and there would be
no reason for an entrepreneur
to set up shop in Illinois.
This is no time for knee-jerk
Constitutional Amendments.
We haven’t researched the
effects of this legislation. In
other states, similar taxes have
failed miserably. The General Assembly should consider
the unintended consequences
experienced by states which
enacted similar legislation. In
New Jersey for instance, the
State Treasury found that the
taxes drove out approximately
20,000 taxpayers and the state
lost $2.5 billion in tax revenue. Flat out, it’s a bad policy
that doesn’t work.
Senate President John Cullerton floated an idea to install
a tracking device in your vehicle and charge you for every
mile that you drive. I was
opposed to this legislation
from the get-go. His argument
was that the roads are in terrible condition and there isn’t
enough money to fix them.
The Motor Fuel tax, that we
already collect, is intended to
pay for road repairs. The
problem is that past administrations have swept the road
fund and spent that money on
things other than roads and
bridges. I have said it before;
we can do more with what we
have. We just need to spend
wisely. I am very happy
that the taxpayers spoke out
against this attempted overreach. Because of the public
outcry, Senate President John
Cullerton announced he will
not move forward with his
plan to track everyone’s mileage.
Even with these outlandish
ideas like a tracking device
in your car or a massive tax
hike, I still think our compromise last week was a small
win for everyone in this state.
For ten months, this tug-ofwar match has kept us from
moving forward. Last week
however, I saw signs that the
rank-and-file members of the
General Assembly are able to
work together. I have a little
more faith that we can have a
civil debate and constructive
conversation about the issues
facing Illinois.
Last week’s session reminds
me of a quote by Colin Powell
who stated, “But just as they
did in Philadelphia when they
were writing the constitution,
sooner or later, you’ve got to
compromise. You’ve got to
start making the compromises
that arrive at a consensus to
move the country forward.”
Just maybe last week was a
start to move Illinois forward.
As always, you can reach
me or Sally at 815/232-0774

Judge approves agreement
in Ashoor Rasho vs. John Baldwin
STATELINE — The Illinois Department of Corrections is pleased that the settlement agreement in the case of
Ashoor Rasho v John Baldwin has been approved. U.S.
District Judge Michael Mihm
accepted the agreement on
Friday, May 13, noting that
the Department’s plans for
improving the delivery of services for mentally ill offenders are “fair and reasonable.”
The agreement requires the
Department to update its policies for treatment and observation, increase out of cell
time for mentally ill offenders
housed in segregation, construct four residential treatment units aimed at providing individualized care for
mentally ill offenders, provide an inpatient level care
for offenders who require the
most intensive level of treatment, and hire additional staff
to accommodate the changes.
While the Department does
not admit liability regarding
the allegations made in the
suit, it does recognize that
providing adequate care for
offenders with mental illness
will improve their quality of
life and ultimately improve
safety within its correctional
facilities. The Department has
already taken significant steps
to comply with the terms of
the agreement:
· The Department has updated its policies to ensure that
Mental Health Professionals are involved in all disciplinary actions taken against
those identified as having a
mental illness.
· The Department has
revised its segregation policies for all offenders, which
will continue to result in a
significant reduction of segregation time.
· Construction continues on
the residential treatment units
at Dixon, Pontiac, and Logan
Correctional Centers as well
as the former IYC Joliet facility.
· The Department has hired
additional mental health staff
for the treatment units at
Dixon and Logan.
· The Department has partnered with the National Alli-
ance on Mental Illness in Illinois to develop curriculum
and ensure all IDOC staff
receives training on how to
better interact with, communicate with, and understand
the needs of those who require
treatment. · The Department has hired
an internal legal advisor and
has secured an external monitor to ensure that it remains
in compliance with the agreement. The Ashoor Rasho case
has lingered in the courts
since 2007 after an offender
at Pontiac Correctional Center filed suit challenging the
delivery of mental health services within the IDOC. The
Department reached a partial
agreement in 2013 but had not
been able to fully implement
a plan to streamline mental health services. Governor Rauner’s commitment to
improving the state’s correctional system put the case on
a fast track and his administration worked diligently with
the IDOC legal team to reach
a suitable agreement.

Brown on Oct. 12, 1921 in
Hamilton, Ill., the fourth child
of Franklin
B.
Brown
and
Millie (Ensign)
B r o w n .
During the
depression
she and her
siblings
were placed HOPE LOUISE
in The Iowa
FOWLER
Soldiers and
Sailers Home in Davenport and
from there, she and her sister Mary Lou were adopted by
Daniel C. and Clara (Burrows)
Gibbs. On June 23, 1946 she
was united in marriage with
Harold Stanton Fowler in the
chapel of the University of
Dubuque.
Hope graduated Valedictorian of her class in 1941 from
Earlville High School and
went on to the University of
Dubuque where she earned her
Bachelor’s of Science Degree,
majoring in Home Economics
and Business. She taught in
the Winslow, Ill. High School
until it was consolidated, and
then took classes and became
a grade school teacher there in
Winslow until her retirement
in 1985, ending 35 years in the
same building.
She was renting a room in
Winslow from a widow, Enid
Debell, and when her son came
home from the war they fell in
love. She married Harold S.
Fowler and made their life in
Winslow until he retired. Then
they traveled and also bought
a winter home in Zephryhills,
FL. They were “snowbirds” for
many years until Harold’s failing health made them decide
to move closer to family in
Missouri.
Many interests kept her busy
through the years. She was a
dedicated teacher, always taking classes and reading up on
things she could use to keep it
interesting for her students. It
was also not unusual for her to
give extra help to those in need.
To her, they were more than
just her students, they were
people. She loved to read on
many subjects and was always
doing crossword and jigsaw
puzzles. For many years she
was an avid quilter and also did
needlepoint and crochet. She
and her husband also built and
decorated 2 large doll houses.
After retiring she took a writing class and decided to write
her autobiography. She finished
and self-published “A Story of
Hope” The Autobiography of
an Adopted Kid in 1995.

FROM LENA’S KITCHEN
The not so skinny cook
LENA — I think I jinxed the
weather because last week I
said we were getting warmer
weather. This weekend was
anything but warm. I had to
bring my hibiscus plant in, and
I am not certain it didn’t get
nipped during the day on Saturday. Frost warnings are out as I
write this column. However, it
does have to get warm eventually, so we do have some spring
time recipes to share.
I bought my first Vidalia
onions this past week. I love
their sweet taste (I am sure
other sweet onions are just as
good, but I buy into the hype of
these special onions.) and look
forward to them being in stores
in the spring. This easy dish
uses their great flavor. Enjoy
this great appetizer or use it as
a topping for baked potatoes.
Cheesy Caramelized
Onion Dip

1 ½ C. mayo
1 T. chopped fresh chives
Preheat the oven to 325.
Heat the oil in a large skillet on
medium heat. Add the onions
and cook 13-15 minutes or
until tender and golden brown,
stirring frequently. Remove
from heat. Stir in the cheese
and mayo.
Spread the onion, cheese,
and mayo mixture onto the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake
45-55 minutes or until golden
brown. Let stand 5 minutes
before serving. Sprinkle with
chives. Serve with crackers or
pita chips.
This easy vegetable casserole
will make a great side to any
meal. The tomato vinaigrette
dressing can be substituted
with regular vinaigrette dressing. The added crunch of the
radishes on top makes for a
tasty salad or vegetable.

6 radishes, cut lengthwise in

2 T. chopped fresh parsley
Cook the carrots in large pan
of boiling water for 5-7 minutes or until crisp tender, adding the peas for the last 2 minutes. In a small saucepan, cook
the sugar, dressing, and butter
on low heat 3-5 minutes or
until dressing mixture is well

occasionally. Drain the cooked
vegetables and return to pan.
Add the dressing mixture and
cook and stir for 1 minute or

coated with dressing. Stir in
radishes and parsley.
Asparagus is still very plentiful. This great main dish is
easy to prepare, and it puts
a tasty meal on the table in
a short amount of time. The
biscuits can be found in the frozen food section of the grocery
store. I often ask for a wedge
of ham from the deli case and
then cube it up. Enjoy this
great way to use asparagus.

onion powder, and pepper;
whisk in ½ cup chicken broth
until smooth. Whisk the flour
mixture, cream, and remaining
2½ cups of broth into vegetables, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the
heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5
minutes. Stir in the ham. Pour
the mixture into the prepared
baking dish, and top with partially baked biscuits.
Bake until filling is hot and
bubbly and biscuits are golden brown, about 12 minutes.
Let stand for 5 minutes before
serving.
In our tour of rhubarb recipes, this rhubarb-strawberry
coffee cake is a good one. You
can use frozen rhubarb for this
recipe if you want to make it in
the fall or winter. The cream
cheese filling adds just the right
amount of creamy flavor to the
cake. Once again it is made in
a smaller pan, so it can be eaten
at one setting as a dessert. The
rhubarb will not make the cake
soggy when you eat it right
away.

Senate Bill 2038 spends
$456.8 million from a special
fund that collected a percentage of revenue from the 2010
income tax hike. The remaining balance comes from several
other miscellaneous state funds,
but the entire package is based
on existing revenue.
During debate, my colleagues
asked why no money was
included for essential operations, like utilities, maintenance
and food. Such operations funding is not only critical to mental
health facilities, but to correctional facilities in all regions of
the state.
Senate Bill 2038 now heads
to the Governor for his consideration.
School funding bill
redirects money to Chicago
The school funding reform
bill, Senate Bill 231, faces an
uncertain future in the House
of Representatives, where lawmakers are currently reviewing
other options.
Data released by the Illinois
State Board of Education shows
that Senate Bill 231 would represent a windfall of approximately $750 million for Chicago Public Schools (CPS),
while shuffling around the limited remaining dollars between
a majority of the state’s school
districts.
Sponsor State Sen. Andy
Manar of Bunker Hill said his
proposal provides “one formula
for the entire state” with “no
special deals” for any one district. In reality, the bill gives
Chicago a larger share of several state grants than if they were
treated the same as all other
school districts. Combined,
those grants would total $368
million in special deals for CPS.
In addition, the legislation
alters the school funding formula to benefit Chicago, worth
$175 million, and would give
the financially-strapped district
a pension bailout costing $205
million. In total, CPS would
receive $750 million in special
deals at the expense of the rest
of the state.
Manar also touted a “hold
harmless” provision that would
keep all schools at their Fiscal Year 2015 funding level—
but for just one year. Then the
provision would taper off by
25 percent per year, leaving
schools to face the full brunt of
the cuts in just four years.
The “hold harmless” provision, and another that would
provide adequacy grants to help
schools, would only be possible
with an extra $442 million in
funding. With the state’s budget deficit at several billion dollars, it seems very unlikely that
the sponsor can find another
half-billion dollars in funding,
which leaves schools facing the
full brunt of the cuts immediately.
Future of school funding
uncertain in House
Senate Bill 231 is now in the
House, where it is not expected
to see any action any time soon.
A few hours before it passed the
Senate, many downstate Democrat lawmakers held a press
conference pushing the idea
of fully funding the existing
school funding formula for the
first time in seven years. Senate
Republicans and the Governor
have been advocating for that
approach, saying it helps all
schools right now, while giving
lawmakers time to craft a real
solution to the future of school
funding.
A House committee is also
currently exploring the school
funding issue. During the week,
they heard from members of the
education community, including the Vision 20/20 organization, a coalition of educators,
administrators and other stakeholders. The Vision 20/20 group

is backing a different type of
funding reform that would base
the entire system on evidence
rather than politics. They have
already filed legislation in the
Senate, but that bill has so far
been blocked.
Lawmakers push for
procurement reform
Republican legislators were
joined by the directors of the
Illinois Department of Transportation, the Capital Development Board and Central Management Services in calling
for the General Assembly to
advance procurement reform
legislation that would save Illinois taxpayers $500 million
annually.
The current procurement process is extremely cumbersome
and takes 9-12 months to complete. Senate Bill 2400 has been
introduced to create a more efficient purchasing system in Illinois. Proponents of the measure
say it would streamline bureaucracy, give greater flexibility to
state agencies, and move Illinois to follow best practices of
other states to achieve greater
savings.
The reforms include the creation of a pool of pre-qualified
vendors for supplies and services, and would allow state
and local governments to enter
into purchasing consortiums
in hopes of leveraging buying
power. In addition, the reforms
would carve out procurement
code exemptions for an array
of instances including service
contracts, trade shows and units
of higher education, while at
the same time speeding up the
purchasing process.
Senate Bill 2400 also has
transparency measures that continue to require high levels of
qualifications for those involved
in procurement, while at the
same time requiring an audit
of procurement by the Auditor
General every two years.
Firefighters gather to
honor fallen comrades
The 23rd Annual Illinois Fallen Firefighter Memorial ceremony on May 10 brought in
firefighters from across the state
to honor 27 of their comrades
for acts of bravery and sacrifice.
Three firefighters received
the Firefighter Medal of Honor
to “recognize those that took
extraordinary actions to help
protect the lives of their fellow
firefighters and citizens.”
Firefighters also mourned
four fallen comrades who gave
their lives in the line of duty.
The fallen firefighters were
each posthumously awarded the
Duty Death Gold Badge.

Food Preservation Workshop to be held
ELIZABETH — Spring is
here and the summer growing season is just around the
corner. Have you considered
canning? “Home food preservation
has become intensely popular, once again. Years ago,
people preserved their own
food out of necessity. Now
however, people are preserving their food for more altruistic reasons. Canning provides a sense of healthfulness,
independence, and canning
benefits the environment, by
reducing your carbon footprint” states University of
Clearing the Air about Radon
STATELINE — With the
warmer weather here, we can
finally get started on some of
those summer home projects.
Add one to your list for your
family’s health: Test your
home for elevated concentrations of Radon.
“Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that could
be building up in your home,”
warns Jay Solomon, Energy
and Environmental Educator with University of Illinois Extension. “Unlike other
harmful gas, radon does not
have any immediate impacts
on you. It creates damage
over time leading to lung cancer risks, through exposure to
elevated levels. ”
Plan to attend one of the
“Clearing the Air about
Radon” workshops to learn
more about this silent foe.
Three workshops will be held
in the area: Monday, June 6,
at 6 p.m. at the Lena Community Center, 497 Lions Dr,
Lena; Tuesday, June 7 at 1
p.m. at the Freeport Public
Library, 100 Douglas Street,
Freeport; and Thursday, June
9 at 6:00 p.m. at the Galena
City Hall, 101 Green Street,
Galena. Radon is the leading cause
of lung cancer among nonsmokers and the second leading cause of lung cancer in the
United States. This colorless,
odorless gas is found in many
homes throughout Illinois. “The only way to know the
radon level in your home is to
conduct a test of the home,”
Solomon continued. The magnitude of the radon issue in
northern Illinois becomes
more evident as more homes
are evaluated. Professional
radon testers have found 57%
Stephenson County and 55%
Jo Daviess County homes
tested at or above the recommended action level of 4 pCL.
Pre-registration is requested
to attend one of these Radon
programs by visiting the online link at: web.extension.
illinois.edu/jsw/ or by calling
University of Illinois Extension in Stephenson County at
(815) 235-4125 or Jo Daviess
County at (815) 858-2273.
Registration is $6 per household and each household will
receive a set of informational
materials and a radon test kit
compliments of the Stephenson County and Jo Daviess
County Health Departments
with assistance from an Illinois Emergency Management
Agency Radon Awareness
Grant. “Clearing the Air about
Radon” will be hosted by the
University of Illinois Extension, and Stephenson County
and Jo Daviess County Health
Departments. Program participants will learn what radon is
and how it enters a home, the
danger radon poses, and how a
home can be tested for radon. Discussion will also include
information about reducing
the radon levels in a home
including contact information
for licensed radon professionals in the area that can help
homeowners through the process of testing and mitigation.

USDA releases results of new survey on honey bee colony health
WASHINGTON, D.C. —
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agriculture
Statistics Service released the
results of its first ever Honey
Bee Colony Loss survey today.
Those results are available
online at: http://www.usda.
gov/nass/PUBS/TODAYRPT/
hcny0516.pdf
The survey queried more
than 20,000 honey beekeepers
about the number of colonies,
colonies lost, colonies added,
and colonies affected by certain stressors and gleans statelevel estimates on key honey
bee health topics. The survey
was developed as part of the
“National Strategy to Promote
the Health of Honey Bees and
Other Pollinators” released
last summer, and gleans statelevel estimates on key pollinator health topics.
Results from the survey will
provide statistically strong
baseline information about
honey bee losses and can help
guide honey bee management
decisions in the United States.
NASS created the survey
questions with input from beekeepers and researchers, and
other stakeholders. The results
will allow USDA and other
federal departments and agencies to create a more unified
and complementary approach
to implementing the National
Strategy, which was unveiled
in May 2015.
“Pollinators are essential to
the production of food, and
in the United States, honey
bees pollinate an estimated
$15 billion of crops each year,
ranging from almonds to zuc-

chinis,” said Dr. Ann Bartuska,
USDA Deputy Under Secretary for Research, Education
and Economics. “This new
data will add to USDA’s robust
scientific body of knowledge
on the inventory, movement
and death loss of honeybees in
the United States.”
For this report, NASS surveyed
3,300
beekeeping
operations with five or more
colonies on a quarterly basis,
following their operations
throughout the year. In addition, NASS surveyed a sample of 20,000 beekeepers who
have less than five colonies
annually. Data collected covers
the state in which colonies are
located, movement of colonies
between states, newly added
or replaced colonies, number
of colonies lost, colonies renovated, and presence of colony
stressors and specific signs of
illness. The responses allow
USDA for the first time to
differentiate patterns between
small-scale and commercial
beekeepers, analyze data on a
state-by-state basis, and compare more specific quarterly
losses, additions and renovations for larger scale beekeepers.
According to the survey
released this week, there were
2.59 million or 8% fewer
honey bee colonies on January
1, 2016 than the 2.82 million
present a year earlier on January 1, 2015 for operations with
five or more colonies. New
quarterly colony data allow
new levels of analysis. For
example, there was an 18%
loss of colonies in the JanuaryMarch quarter in 2015 and a
17% loss in the same quarter in 2016. Honey beekeepers with five or more colonies
reported Varroa mites as the
leading stressor affecting colonies. They also reported more
colonies with symptoms of
Colony Collapse Disorder lost
in the first quarter of 2016 with
113,930 than the 92,250 lost in
the same quarter in 2015.
This research complements
other information USDA and
partners have been collecting for years. For example,
in March NASS released its
annual report on honey production and prices for 2015.
This report, which is used
by USDA, producers, economists, agribusiness and others,
found that U.S. honey production in 2015 from producers
with five or more colonies
totaled 157 million pounds,
down 12 percent from 2014.
There were 2.66 million colonies from which honey was
harvested in 2015, down 3 percent from 2014. Honey prices
were 209.0 cents per pound,
down 4 percent from a record
high of 217.3 cents per pound
in 2014.
In addition, for the past 10
years USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture

Church, kids will dive deep into
the account of Noah and the
Flood from the book of Genesis! They’ll learn to apply the
spiritual lessons from Noah’s
life to their own. And, along
the way, they’ll uncover earthly
lessons from the Flood: how all
the animals fit on the Ark, how
the Flood covered the whole
Earth, and how we can still see
the effects of this Flood today.
They’ll also learn
that the flood legends from around
the world are
based on the true
account in Genesis!
Are your kids
ready for a boatload of excitement? They won’t
want to miss a
minute of the fun and amazing
water filled adventures. Ocean

Monroe Clinic Hospice Support Group offers grief education
MONROE, WI. — The journey through grief is difficult.
Many people find it comforting to face grief with others
experiencing similar challenges.
Monroe Clinic Hospice is
holding a six-week Hope Eternal after Loss (HEAL) grief
education and support group,
which provides resources and
encouragement for people
grieving the death of a loved
one.
The six-week HEAL group
meets Wednesdays, 6-7:30
p.m., June 1 through July 6 at
the St. Camillus Center, 2101
6th Street in Monroe, Wis.
The HEAL support group is
free and open to adults over
18 who have experienced the
death of someone special. In
this sympathetic setting helpful discussion topics include:
The importance of information and support as we grieve
Understanding grief as a
process
Identifying and accepting
normal feelings when grieving
Past and present losses
Factors which complicate
grief
Coping with the stress of
grief
Remembering: memorials
and anniversaries
For more information or to
register, call Monroe Clinic Hospice at 608-324-1230
or 800-367-8406, Monday
through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. or go to the event calendar at monroeclinic.org.
umn. It will be kids on bicycles
and playing lots of places where
we need to be aware of them
playing. My street has some
kids, and we don’t have very
many people who observe the
speed limit. Please slow down
when driving on Lena Street,
Main Street, and Mason Street.
Be especially vigilant after the
opening of Splashland and park
activities. We also must be
aware of farm equipment on the
roads. Every Sunday during the
spring and fall, Bruce Johnson
from the Farm Bureau makes the
case for slowing down on roads.
The planting season will probably last longer this year because
of all the bad weather we have
had. I know that I am not always
vigilant when driving during this
time of the year, and we all need
to be aware of this equipment.
Next week we will try to have
some recipes for Memorial Day
which is the unofficial start of
summer. Picnics will be the next
food celebration. If you have
any good picnic foods, and if
you find some more rhubarb and
strawberry recipes, you can send
them our way.
If you have any spring or early
summer recipes to share, you can
contact us in person, by mail, or
email us at From Lena’s Kitchens, Shopper’s Guide at 213 S.
Center St. or email [email protected].
• RECIPES
Bake at 350 for 50 minutes or
until edges are golden. Cool for
20 minutes. Loosen the sides
from the pan with a knife. Cool
and then enjoy!

Anniversary
Kenneth and Norene Luchsinger to
celebrate diamond wedding anniversary
McCONNELL — Kenneth Luchsinger and the former Norene
Zimmerman will be celebrating their Sixtieth Wedding Anniversary. They were wed on May 20, 1956, at the United Methodist
Church in McConnell.
Kenneth is retired from Newell Co in Freeport and Norene is
a retired beautician. Their children are Mona Luchsinger of Fort
Smith, Arkansas, Kandy Luchsinger of Neptune Beach, Florida
and Kristy Bonnet of Yorkville, Illinois.
The couple has seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
We invite friends and relatives Sunday, May 22, 1-4 p.m. to
celebrate at the McConnell American Legion Home. We will be
serving a lunch, cake and ice cream.
We request that gifts be omitted.
Easy, convenient $20 Sports Physicals that also
support your school. Score!
FHN healthcare providers have offered fast, no-hassle sports physical clinics at an affordable price
for middle and high school athletes since 1996. And because we support our home teams, too, we
donate the cost back to local schools.

One way we
can help each
other get
through these
challenging
times is to keep
our dollars local.
Here are three
good reasons.
Reason #1: Shopping locally saves you gas
and wear and tear on your vehicle.
Reason #2: When you spend your money
locally, you support the businesses whose
property taxes pay for our municipal services.
Reason #3: Many of our youth programs are
supported and sponsored by local businesses
and if we don’t support them, they can’t
support our kids.

River Ridge/Scales Mound regular season comes to close
By Chris Johnson
Reporter
SCALES MOUND — Now
that the regular season has
come to a close for the boys’
baseball team at Scales Mound/
River Ridge, all focus must
turn towards the 2016 Class 1A
Playoffs.
Because of a decision made
earlier, by the IHSA, the second round of the State Tournament will be held in Hanover.
For River Ridge/Scales
Mound, the path back home
will have to begin with an
upset and then be followed by
a second surprise win, based on
how the team was seeded for
this year’s tournament.
River Ridge/Scales Mound
was issued the five seed and
any thought of advancing will
consist of a victory over the
three-seed Lena-Winslow Panthers.
The State Tournament begins
on Monday, May 16 in Freeport.
Aquin will host the opening
round games, with the exception of the play-in contest,
featuring six-seed Rockford
Christian Life and seven-seed
Warren fire
Alden-Hebron.
Christian Life, because of the
higher seed designation, will
host the Giants for the right to
move on to play the top seed in
the Freeport Aquin Regional,
the number-two Bulldogs.
and Lena-Winslow already
played each other this season,
with a home-and-away series
on April 5 and April 7.
Much has changed, as the
season has progressed and
upsets are a part of the package.
hopes to provide one of those.
Closing the NUIC regular season, the boys’ baseball
team fell to the Dakota Indians,
12-4, but just three days earlier they defeated Port Byron
Riverdale, in a rules-shortened
affair, 10-0.
The Softball playoffs also
began on Monday, May 16, as
action got underway in Eastland and continued in Pearl
City.
The three seed accorded to
Scales Mound/River Ridge
means they won’t play their
first game in the Class 1A Tour-
Tracy Siegner photos
Extended ladder equipment was necessary while fighting
Thursday’s fire at The Olde Hotel in Warren.
Lady Wolves could be looming
in the Regional Championship
Game.
If an upset occurs and Pearl
City bows out, Scales Mound/
River Ridge will advance to
Pecatonica as the Pearl City
Regional Champion and will
face the winner from the Dakota Regional.
The Lady Indians are the
top overall seed in the Peca-
tonica Sectional Complex and
are expected to move through
the opening round of the tournament and advance to Pecatonica.
Dakota faces eight-seed
South Beloit in its Regional
opener.
Four-seed Durand and fiveseed Pecatonica will battle in
the second Regional Semifinal.
Warhawks play host as playoffs begin
By Chris Johnson
Reporter
STOCKTON — The eightseed Warren/Stockton Lady
Warhawks opened the 2016
Class 2A State Softball Championship Tournament on Monday, May 16, as they played
host to nine-seed Rockford
Christian.
Stockton/Warren was slightly favored to win their opening round game, as scheduling
indicates, with the Royal Lions
taking it on the road. As a result
of time restrictions, details of
the contest are unavailable.
It is known that with a win,
Warren-Stockton will move on
to face the top seed in the Oregon Regional, Stillman Valley.
As a number eight seed,
the trip into the post-season,
according to statisticians and
Selection Committee Members, could be short, as Stillman Valley is heavily favored
to run through Oregon and
back to Stillman Valley for the
Sectional Round, beginning the
week of May 23.
In the playoffs, however, surprises are likely, in many situations.
During the post-season, at
times, a team heavily favored
doesn’t always live up to all
expectations. Upsets are common and it starts with pitching.
The regular season came to
a close on Saturday, May 14,
as Stockton/Warren worked
through a schedule that featured a softball tournament at
Juda, to close 2016.
A game against the Pecatonica Lady Indians, scheduled for
Friday, May 13, was cancelled.
A contest in Forreston highlighted the wrap up of the
NUIC schedule, for the spring
season.
Now the attention turns to the
post-season.
Warhawks suiting up for
battle
The boy’s baseball team
is preparing to begin its trek
towards a possible Regional
Crown, or more and it will be a
longer road trip to start.
The Warhawks were issued
the number three seed in the
Bureau Valley Regional.
They will face five-seed
Prophetstown on Thursday,
May 19, for the right to move
to the Regional Title Game
against either two-seed Forreston or eight-seed Bureau Valley.
The Cardinals and Storm will
face off on Wednesday, May
18.
If the three-seed Warhawks
do advance past the Regional
Final, they will move on to
Morrison, which means they
could possibly have to deal
with top-seed Winnebago, next
Wednesday, May 25.
The Indians are the overall
number one seed in the Morrison Sectional Complex.
Winnebago, however, doesn’t
