Tonica farmer breaks 100 bushel ceiling Arkels grows 104 bushel per acre soybeans By Ken Schroeder news@tonicanews.com

TONICA — The U.S. Department of Agriculture released figures for the Illinois 2014 soybean crop on Feb. 26. Estimates put the record-breaking total at an average of slightly more than 50 bushels per acre, a level once thought impossible

to break. Don’t tell that to Dan Arkels. “It started a year ago when I went to Commodity Classic in San Antonio. I was approached by a representative from Stoller USA; they make biological products,” Arkels said. “We got together and he said, ‘The Illinois Soybean Association (ISA) has a yield contest, and we would like to help you accomplish that goal.’ I had tried for a couple of years, and I couldn’t even get close. I got within the mid-80s, but I couldn’t get any closer.”

The extra help and determination must have made a difference. On a 30 acre test plot, Arkels answered the ISA 100 Bushel Challenge with a 103.95 bushel per acre crop, nearly 15 bushels per acre more than the previous record. Arkels said it didn’t happen overnight; it took a lot of work. “It wasn’t easy, but it can be done, if you have the right soil and the right growing season,” Arkels said. “I had fertility down for 100 bushel crop; potash and phosphate to support that crop and

nitrogen was applied to the crop in small increments throughout the growing season. The latest seed technology from Pioneer and a full-season bean, and we took care of them with a lot of application of product throughout the growing season. “We did two ground applications with foliar products in them, and then four aerial applications after that,” Arkels said. “We had a sprayer over that field six times altogether, and each time we

March is Music In Our Schools Month

By Dixie Schroeder news@tonicanews.com

TONICA — March is Music In Our Schools Month, according to the National Association of Music Educators (NAME). Music and the arts are basic to the quality and richness of life and are an essential component of every child’s education. Research has found that learning music not only fosters learning in other core subjects such as math and reading, but it also teaches important life skills. A high-quality music education provides opportunities to perform, improvise, compose and arrange music in all mediums, including the use of technology. These music experiences are an effective vehicle for transmitting self-confidence, self-discipline, cooperative learning, social interaction and cultural awareness and will foster continual musical development in all students. Tonica Grade School Superintendent John Suarez is familiar with the research supporting the positive impact music education has in our schools. “I think the brain-based research out there shows the importance of having the arts in our curriculum,” Suarez said. “I think that one thing that the United States does better than any country in the world, regardless of what test scores say, is that we have a patent on creativity. When you notice, other countries come here to learn about computer science, to learn about music, to learn about art. It is because we are the best at it. We don’t want to lose that. Not to demean our core curriculum, but music and the arts make a decent curriculum a good curriculum and a good curriculum a great curriculum. It’s about stimulating creative thought. It is about what makes a student smart and building upon that.” One of the ways music can add to learning is in the area of visual and verbal communication. In an article published in the Pacific Standard magazine, studies

These children, who participated in a month of musical training which included rhythm, pitch, melody, voice and basic musical concepts, had an improvement in their ability to understand words and their meanings.

Students age 8 to 11 who participated in extracurricular music classes developed higher verbal IQs and their visual ability improved compared to students who did not have these classes. A study published in Science Daily magazine demonstrated that children

as young as 1 year old benefited from music. When these children participated in interactive music lessons with their parents, they had a greater ability to communicate and showed signs of

Maximize your harvest, profits

From Page 1

LaSalle County Farm Bureau holds production and outlook meeting By Ken Schroeder news@tonicanews.com

OTTAWA — Learning how to maximize your yields and how to spot trends to get the most for your grain were the two topics discussed at the LaSalle County Farm Bureau 2015 Grain Production and Outlook Meeting at Pitstick Pavilion in Ottawa Monday, March 9. Tonica farmer Dan Arkels won the Illinois Soybean Association 100 Bushel Challenge this year with a yield of 104 bushels per acre on his 40 acre test plot. He had advice for getting high yields from soybeans and corn. His first word of advice was something he said many farmers don’t do. “I can’t stress enough how important it is to fertilize your beans,” Arkels said. “You can’t raise your yield goal unless you have fertility down for it.” Arkels also had advice for increasing corn growers. He was able to harvest a field of 277 bushel per acre corn. “We’re not putting enough fertilizer down for what this area needs,” he said. Dave Callan, certified crop specialist for

Grainco FS Inc. in Lostant, worked closely with Arkels to help achieve the crop he harvested. He stressed the need to observe what he called the four R’s of stewardship, “You have to have the right source, the right rate, the right time and the right place,” he said. Risk management specialist Joe Camp from AgriVisor spoke on the price of grain and how to get the maximum money for your crop. He said although prices are a little low now, he didn’t think that would last. “I’m optimistic about new grain prices for corn, soybeans and wheat,” Camp said. “The stumbling blocks we’re facing now will not be here for long.” Camp noted there were two conflicting forces currently affecting to grain prices. Low prices for fuel will drive prices for grain higher because it costs less to ship the product. However, the strong U.S. dollar is making the price of grain higher overseas, thus driving foreign demand down. A big change in China will help soybeans, said Camp. “China is moving to a more meat-centered diet,” he said. “In order

Dan Arkels to do that, they’re going to need soybeans for feed.” Much of what happens to American grain prices depends on the harvest in South America. Camp said although this year’s crops will not meet the levels of last year’s harvest, the numbers could

still have an adverse effect on American grain. Camp suggested keeping track of the grain futures, and be willing to sell old crop at current rates. “Current prices are around $4 a bushel. That still shows a lot of support for grain,” he said.

had a cocktail of products that was going to feed and protect the crop to keep that crop as healthy as we could during the growing season.” Arkels said although last year was a good growing season, it was not a great season. With no rain through the month of July and into early August, his crop started to stress, especially during the heat of the day. With the man hours and extra chemicals it took to achieve nearly 104 bushels per acre, the question is, was it economically successful? “Everybody asks me that question,” Arkels said. “I don’t get into actual numbers of ‘I spent such-andsuch dollars and sold it at this price,’ but I can tell you is normal production acres yielded in the upper 70s throughout the 1,000 acres of soybeans. I added 25 bushels of soybeans to my Illinois Soybean Association high-yield plot. If you take 25 bushels of beans times $10; that’s what they are today. That’s $250 of extra income per acre. I did not spend $250 extra.” Arkels said he learned a lot from the experience, and while he will take much of what he learned from the plot and apply it to the rest of his crop, he doesn’t plan at this time to apply the same care to his entire crop. He will, however, continue to experiment to find a combination that will raise his yields. “If you don’t change your methods, you’ll never change your crop,” he said.

Mautino urges residents to protect themselves from scams SPRING VALLEY — In recognition of National Consumer Protection Week, state Rep. Frank Mautino is working to generate awareness of resources available to consumers to help combat identity theft and consumer fraud. “The digital age has brought remarkable advances in commerce and communication, putting incredible amounts

of information at our fingertips,” Mautino said. “A consequence of this, however, has been a drastic increase in the need to protect ourselves from consumer fraud.” Local residents are encouraged to visit annualcreditreport.com, request the free annual reports from each of the national credit reporting agencies to which they are entitled by law and check

for any suspicious activity. Anyone who believes they have been a victim of identity theft or that their financial information may have been compromised should immediately call the Illinois Attorney General’s toll free Identity Theft Hotlines at 866999-5630 or 877-844-5461 (TTY). Mautino is also encouraging constituents to explore www.ncpw.gov,

the website dedicated to National Consumer Protection Week, a coordinated campaign led by a coalition of consumer advocacy organizations and state and federal agencies. By accessing the site, consumers can investigate a wide range of topics on personal finance and online threats, and learn about resources available to help keep their identities safe.

“Checking your credit annually is simple and completely free, and many resources exist to help consumers avoid threats to their financial and personal security,” Mautino added. “Staying informed is the first and most important step in preventing identity theft and scams.” Mautino represents Illinois’ 76th Representative District.

HUD awards nearly $116 million to Illinois Demonstration (RAD), a comprehensive strategy that complements the Capital Fund Program and offers a long-term solution to preserve and enhance the country’s affordable housing stock, including leveraging public and private funding to make critically needed improvements. Since Congress approved the RAD demonstration in November of 2011, early results show it is generating significant additional capital for public and assisted housing. HUD has made awards to 60,000 public and assisted housing units in more than 340 different projects across the country. Through these awards, housing authorities have proposed to generate approximately $3 billion in capital repairs by leveraging private debt and equity, which will preserve or replace distressed units and support local jobs in their communities – all without additional federal resources. Currently, the Department has received applications from PHAs for an additional 116,000 units under RAD. To support the growing demand for RAD, the President’s FY 2016 budget proposal requests to eliminate the RAD cap, and provide $50 million to help local public housing agencies to finance the recapitalization of more than 185,000 units of public housing and stimulate private investment.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently awarded nearly $116 million to public housing authorities in Illinois. The funding will allow agencies to make major large-scale improvements to their public housing units. Included in the grants is $1,301,823 for LaSalle County. The grants are provided through HUD’s Capital Fund Program, which offers annual funding to approximately 3,100 public housing authorities to build, repair, renovate and/or modernize the public housing in their communities. These housing authorities use the funding to do largescale improvements such as replacing roofs or making energy-efficient upgrades to replace old plumbing and electrical systems. “Every American deserves a place to call home where they can successfully raise their kids, enhance their financial security and build a better life,” said HUD Secretary Julian Castro. “Through this funding, HUD is committed to strengthening our nation’s affordable housing units and to providing folks with the springboard they need to succeed.” “In Illinois, the Capital Fund Program will help ensure that our families and most vulnerable individuals, our seniors, are residing in housing that is decent, safe and in good

repair,” said Antonio R. Riley, HUD Midwest Regional Administrator. “It is part of HUD’s mission to protect consumers and meet the need for quality affordable homes for all.” For more than 75 years, the federal government has been working and investing billions of dollars in developing and maintaining public and multifamily housing – including providing critical support through the Capital Fund grants announced today. Still, the nation continues to lose approximately 10,000 public housing units each year, primarily due to disrepair. In 2011, HUD released Capital Needs in the Public Housing Program, a study that estimated the capital needs in the public housing stock in the U.S. The study found the nation’s 1.1 million public housing units are facing an estimated $25.6 billion in large-scale repairs. Unlike routine maintenance, capital needs are extensive improvements required to make the housing decent and economically sustainable, such as replacing roofs or updating plumbing and electrical systems to increase energy efficiency. To help protect the considerable federal investment in public housing, and respond to the growing demand for affordable rental housing, the Obama Administration proposed the Rental Assistance

Lostant hires new police officer By Dixie Schroeder news@tonicanews.com

LOSTANT — The Lostant Village Board held its regular monthly meeting on March 9. The village approved the hiring of a new part time police officer to patrol. Chris Carrier Jr. will assume his duties immediately. The issue of mowing in the village was reviewed in the area of the two baseball

diamonds. It was decided that the village would take responsibility for mowing the north diamond this summer in the village while the mowing of the south diamond would be handled by the Lostant School District. The school district owns the south diamond. The village authorized a payment of approximately $18,000 from grant money to Layne Construction. The company has been performing work on well

No. 4 in the village. The board has also authorized further work for Layne Construction on well No. 4. The business will add a flushing hydrant to the well, so that it will achieve the amount of gallons needed to filter the water properly. The well must be dropped to at least 400 feet to do this. The village also authorized the polling place location to be moved to the Lostant Fire Department instead of the village hall.

Mautino working to strengthen laws against cyberstalking SPRING VALLEY — In light of rapidly changing social media and technology, state Rep. Frank Mautino is backing legislation to protect potential victims by expanding the state’s laws against stalking and toughening penalties for violators. “Protecting residents from evolving threats is a basic and fundamental responsibility of public officials,” Mautino said. “Stalkers are constantly finding new ways to terrorize their victims, so we need to do all we can to get in their way and punish them for their actions.” House Bill 242 calls for modernizing state law on stalking by prohibiting the act of tracking another person through any available electronic means without a lawful reason. Current law prohibits the

placing of an electronic tracking device on another individual or their property, a distinction Mautino fears does not go far enough to protect victims given recent technological advancements, such as location service tracking on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The legislation would also enhance criminal penalties for aggravated stalking, with those convicted facing as many as 15 years in prison if their victims suffer severe and permanent disabilities or disfigurement. A 2012 U.S. Department of Justice report estimated that 3.3 million adults in the United States were victims of stalking over a one-year period. In 2012, Aaron Frye, a registered sex offender, was arrested in Hamilton, Ohio, for men-

acing underage girls by stalking, using Facebook to track his victims. He has since been convicted. In 2010, Travis Allen Davis, a convicted rapist, was arrested in Delmont, Penn., armed with a gun and box cutter, while staking out an ex-girlfriend’s home. Davis used Facebook extensively to attempt to blackmail his former girlfriend into reconciling with him. “Cyberstalking is real and it needs to be treated with the seriousness it deserves,” Mautino said. “These are premeditated crimes, with one person choosing to brutally abuse another over a period of time, and we need to treat them as such in courts of law.” The 76th District includes all or portions of Bureau, LaSalle, Livingston and Putnam counties.

New online calendar is ‘one-stop-shop’ for arts and culture Do you know what cultural events are happening locally this spring? Do you know how many opportunities there will be to see a play or catch professional live music without driving to Chicago? Unless you’re someone who spends a ton of time searching the web for weekend activities, you probably answered “no.” For local artists that’s a problem, so they’re working together to do something about it. Artists from all over Starved Rock Country gathered in late February to brainstorm how to create opportunities for the arts in our region. The meeting was hosted by OmniArts in Starved Rock Country, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting arts in the region. The issue the group tackled was how to promote the Starved Rock area as a destination for the arts. The answer was unanimous: Cooperation, collaboration and a calendar. OmniArts.org is now hosting a community arts calendar, providing free advertising for local artists and art groups, regardless of whether they are for profit or not. It’s a way of recognizing the value artists bring to the region and promoting Starved Rock Country as

a center for arts and culture. “Our area has so many great attractions,” said Kathy O’Malley, Princeton resident and host of “The Kathy and Judy Show” on WGN Radio. “Working together, we can help make people even more aware of what a great destination we are.” Artists also see this as an opportunity to plan events in coordination with other activities in the region. Walt Willey, professional actor and Ottawa resident, pointed out that, “an area arts and cultural calendar would mean less chance of counter-programming area activities and events, and more opportunities for cross-pollination and tourist accessibility.” Links to the calendar will be available through various hotels, tourism offices and publications throughout the state. “No one has to be a member or pay a fee to receive the benefits of the arts calendar,” said Bill Jankowski, executive director of OmniArts. “If you have an artistic event, send your information as soon as possible so it can be added to the calendar. We will put it up as soon as we verify the necessary information.”

OmniArts.org offers an online form for anyone wishing to submit an event. The calendar is likely to be the first of many collaborations coming from those who gathered for the arts brainstorming. Stage 212 Board member Joe Ennebach said, “I think this meeting was a useful step toward creating a unified public face for the local artistic community. And I mean ‘artistic community’ broadly defined, including both private, for-profit operations as well as not-for-profit entities.” Grant applications still being accepted For 20 years the Illinois Valley Fine Arts Trust, now OmniArts, has supported the arts in Starved Rock Country by providing funding to artists, cultural groups, art organizations, community theatres, schools and libraries. In the last two years these grants have helped more than 1,400 artists and 700 volunteers with a collective audience of more than 22,000 in the Starved Rock Country region. Grant applications are still being accepted for 2015 with a deadline of March 30. “Send us an email requesting an application form, and it will be sent to you,” said Jankowski.

Lostant Library receives $1,140 in grants LOSTANT — The Lostant Community Library in Lostant will receive $1,140 in grants. Secretary of State and State Librarian Jesse White has awarded Fiscal Year 2015 Illinois Public Library Per Capita and Equalization Aid Grants totaling $15.2 million to 635 public libraries serving almost 12 million patrons. “I am extremely proud of the outstanding service Illinois’ public libraries provide to our communities,” White said. “Our libraries are the best and most reliable information resource available to citizens, and I am pleased to be able to provide these grants each year.” Some of the valuable services public libraries provide include free Internet access; books, magazines, newspapers, CDs and DVDs; audio books and e-books; interlibrary loan service; reference services such as homework assistance; social media tools such as Facebook, Twitter and text messaging; after school and summer pro-

gramming for children; book clubs where patrons read and discuss books; multicultural programming and translation services; special programs and services for senior citizens such as tax return assistance and how to use computers and email; space for voter registration and organ/tissue donor drives; and meeting rooms for important community events. Per Capita Grant funding is authorized under Illinois library law and helps ensure that public libraries have some of the resources they need for expenses such as materials, personnel, equipment, electronic access, telecommunications and technology. Equalization Aid Grants help qualifying public libraries with a low library tax base ensure a minimum level of funding for library services.

New scholarship for LaSalle County OTTAWA — A new scholarship is available to LaSalle County students. The Rev. L.L. Henkel, a longtime LaSalle resident, established the Rev. L.L. Henkel College Student Undergraduate Trust in his will for county residents. Heartland Bank and Trust, the trustee of the Henkel Scholarship Trust, is seeking applicants for the 2015 scholarship award.

Application forms and criteria are available at the LaSalle County Regional Superintendent of Schools website at www.roe35.org. All applications and accompanying letters of support must be filed with the LaSalle County Regional Superintendent of Schools by Thursday, April 30, in order to be considered for the 2015 scholarship award.

Carus offers scholarship, internship LASALLE — Carus Group is upping the ante for students applying to the company’s Centennial Scholarship Program. The 100-year-old environmental company is offering $10,000, plus a paid internship opportunity in its LaSalle research lab, to a college student who offers an innovative idea for using chemistry to solve an environmental problem. Scholarship details can be found in the careers section at www.caruscorporation.com. “The enthusiasm surrounding this scholarship has been amazing, and we really want the prize offering to reflect the excitement we’ve seen so far,” said Inga Carus, Carus Group Chairman and CEO. Carus elevated the scholarship award several thousand dollars to $10,000 after the program’s initial launch. The $10,000 scholarship winner will be able to choose between 2015 or 2016 for their paid summer internship, providing they meet eligibility requirements, or they may choose to opt out of the internship portion of the prize if availability is an issue. “With this program, we want to celebrate innovation. The innovations of our employees over the years are the reason our company is still thriving into our second century,” said Carus, the granddaughter of company founder, Dr. Edward Hegeler Carus. Over the last 100 years, new approaches to product research, customer support,

and manufacturing process improvement have turned Carus from a single-product manufacturer operating out of an old barn in 1915, to a global company with diverse product lines for water treatment, air purification, and soil remediation. Carus’ LaSalle research laboratory is one of the company’s innovation centers, where ideas are tested and new products are discovered. The contest calls for current college students who are enthusiastic about chemistry, to apply for a chance to win $10,000 and to be a part of Carus’ renowned internship program. “My Carus internship exceeded my expectations,” said 2014 laboratory intern Lydia Stariha, a chemistry major at Grinnell College in Iowa. “I experienced first-hand how my major is applied in the corporate world. Carus allowed me to be a part of the entire experimental process, from setting up the procedure and collecting data, to analyzing the results and finding a logical conclusion.” The contest deadline is March 22. Complete rules and application forms can be found at www.caruscorporation.com. Carus, founded in LaSalle in 1915, is an environmental company that produces and supplies technologies and services for water treatment, soil remediation, and air purification. To learn more, connect with Carus on LinkedIn, follow Carus on Facebook and Twitter, or visit www.caruscorporation.com.
