Main St., Heyworth, IL janias@frontier.com Disc golf introduced to Heyworth P.E. students The high school physical education classes are in the midst of a fun and challenging disc golf unit. The disc golf unit was designed by high school P.E. teachers Sam Biver and Jori Cooper. Recently, the members of the Bloomington Normal Disc Golf Club came out for a full day and provided each class with awesome demonstrations and excellent instructional sessions. The students enjoyed meeting the club members and learned some of the skills of the sport. Disc golf is a sport everyone can play. According to Biver, the sport is growing in popularity and is one that people of all ages can enjoy. No matter what skill level you re at, you can constantly compete with yourself and try to get a better score each time you play, said Biver. The sport has many similarities to regular golf. It requires skill, perseverance, playing with others, and being able to adapt to changing conditions. KC Thompson, a junior, stated, It s fun but kind of hard. It s challenging. A P.E. bulletin board in the gym featured photos of the students playing disc golf, information about various types of discs, lesson objectives, and a list of area disc golf courses. Freshman Morgan Brown said, If I were to go with a group of friends, I would do this on a real course. P.E. students will continue their disc golf unit by playing rounds of disc golf on the newly created 9-hole Hornet Hills Disc Golf Course. The course extends around the practice football field and all the way to the south end of Hornet Stadium. Special thanks to BNDG Club members Ken Little, Ben Douglas, Spencer Wilken, Judy Reiter, Mark Hartson, Dan Nagle, and Bill Millet.

Neil said of the sport, It s real fun. Kind of challenging, you have to read the wind and how to throw. Erik added, It s pretty dandy. It can be such a quagmire sometimes. Neil is the son of Mark and Bridgette Duffy. Erik s parents are Jay and Leigh Ann Poston.

The discs may appear to be similar to an old-fashioned Frisbee, but they are not the same. They are heavier and usually smaller, with a sharper edge. Similar to golf clubs, there are a variety of discs designed for certain tasks, but all are built for control, speed and accuracy. Dr. Pliura announces legal action to stop hazardous PCB waste at Dewitt County landfill Proposal for PCBs could poison the well for Central Illinois LEROY - LeRoy area native, Thomas J. Pliura, M.D., J.D., and a Republican senate candidate for the newly formed 51st State Senate District today formally announced his plans to file an immediate legal action seeking to stop the federal EPA permitting process for a proposed DeWitt County landfill. The application seeks permission to bury hazardous polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) waste directly over the Mahomet Aquifer, the primary drinking water source for more than 750,000 Central Illinois residents. A Peoria based company, Clinton Landfill, Inc. has filed an application with the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) seeking permission to begin accepting polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) waste in the near future. The proposed site is located directly over the Mahomet Aquifer. The aquifer is tens of miles wide and hundreds of miles long underlying virtually all or parts of many Central Illinois counties. PCBs could potentially poison the well for Central Illinois citizens. After recently announcing plans to run as the Republican candidate for the 51st Senate District, Pliura noted numerous citizens contacted him to see if he would become involved in this matter. He commented, This is like déjà vu. I ve already seen this movie. Dr. Pliura was previously involved in a tough legal battle with a multi-billion dollar foreign company proposing a new hazardous chemical pipeline between Flanagan and Patoka. The company, Enbridge, Inc. sought eminent domain powers which would have allowed it to take land from local farmers and landowners along its 152 mile length, forcibly if necessary. A joint project with Exxon Mobile was planned to transport toxic tar sands diluents through Illinois and down to the Gulf Coast. Pliura represented more than 300 citizens pro bono in opposition to the proposal in front of the Illinois Commerce Commission. Pro bono is a phrase derived from Latin meaning for the public good and at no cost. Dr. Pliura and others were able to successfully stop the proposed pipeline and prevent the multi- billion dollar company from obtaining eminent domain authority. Subsequently, Enbridge had several high-profile toxic spills at its other pipelines in Kalamazoo, Michigan and Romeoville, Illinois. Pliura stated, This is about the craziest proposal that anyone could ever dream up.

Fire department seeks donations Friends of the Randolph Township Fire Department: For years the Randolph Township Fire Department has come to the aid of the community and surrounding areas in times of emergency. Now members of the fire department are asking for your help. Imagine if someone you loved was involved in an automobile accident and trapped. Precious time could be saved. Each second counts. The Golden Hour refers to a time- period lasting a few minutes to several hours following traumatic injury sustained by a casualty during which there is the highest likelihood that prompt medical treatment will prevent death. Extrication from entrapment is a vital part of the Golden hour. One person dies in the United States every 13 minutes in a car accident, 115 are killed each day, 1.2 million world -wide each year. We are asking for donations so that no tax dollars will be used to purchase the rescue equipment. Instead of imposing a rescue tax, the department has chosen to seek contributions to upgrade our rescue equipment. A committee is formulating a comprehensive plan to generate the $15,000 needed to bring this technology to our community. At a recent fire department meeting the firefighter s voted to open Randolph Township Fire Rescue Equipment Fund When making a contribution, please nclude this coupon.

Powell Fire Chief Randolph Township Fire Celebrity Sing for Wishes event hits a high note with donations BLOOMINGTON The totals are in from the 4th Annual Celebrity Sing for Wishes event! The event, which benefits the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois, raised a grand total of $17,080. The proceeds will go directly towards granting wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions in Illinois. The McLean Area Regional Council for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois organized the event held Aug. 27 at Gill Street Sports Bar & Restaurant. Celebrity Sing for Wishes featured local celebrities competing for donations and the spotlight. The winning top three contestants who received the most donations for the Foundation were Grant Armstrong, Calvary United Methodist ; Marcie Taylor, 2nd Presbyterian Preschool music teacher and Anna Yee, WEEK TV reporter. These three stars took turns being the lead singer with the house band, Blurklezurps. Prior to the event, community members were encouraged to go online and donate to their favorite celebrity. Participants continued to donate at the event, and Gill Street Sports Bar & Restaurant donated 20 percent of all food purchased during the event. A special guest at the event was Tyler Schiffman, age 16 of Heyworth. In June of 2010, Tyler was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, a disease which caused a tumor full of rare white blood cell cancer to grow on his pituitary gland. Earlier this month, Tyler s wish to go to the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas with his family was granted. At the event, Tyler gave a heartwarming speech that described his ordeal with his Marcie Taylor illness and the positive impact his Wish had, noting, Make-A-Wish put a lighthouse at the end of my trials and tribulations and gave me something to look forward to for an entire year. I was able to think of my future trip through the chemo treatments, sicknesses, and times I just felt so tired. The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois would like to thank sponsors of the event which include Verizon, State Farm Insurance, Gill Street Sports Bar & Restaurant, COUNTRY Financial, Growmark, Illinois Farm Bureau, The Chateau Hotel and Conference Center and WBNQ.

Student group holds scavenger hunt Students in the Say Yes To No (Y2N) group presented their peers with information about the Y2N social norms marketing campaign. Seven students staffed five information stations as the rest of the student body went on an informational scavenger hunt. The student groups learned about how the Y2N campaign gets and uses its statistics on high school student alcohol consumption. Sophomore Elizabeth Brown said that the Y2N group is trying to combat the false idea that everyone is drinking. She and senior Zach Ferrie talked with their peers about the surveys of HHS students that are conducted each spring. The most recent survey revealed that most HHS students do not drink alcohol and 80 percent had not consumed alcohol in the 30-day period prior to the survey. That message that is getting through to the students, according to Ferrie. When we started doing the surveys in 2009, about 70 percent of students overestimated the percentage of their peers who drink, said Ferrie. Now it s down to 40 percent. Junior Savannah Ross stated that letting students know that most students don t drink regularly relieves the pressure to drink. If they know what the norm is, they re less likely to drink, she added. Ross talked with her peers about frequently asked questions about the Y2N campaign. One of the more common questions is why students think more people drink than actually do drink. Zach Ferrie and Elizabeth Brown present Y2N information to fellow students. Scavenger Hunt Leaders are Zach Ferrie, Savannah Ross, and Elizabeth Brown. Ross said, The small numbers of students who do drink are really vocal about it. And the ones who don t drink don t want to be loud about it, said Ferrie. The goal of the Say Yes To No campaign is to help students gain a more accurate picture of alcohol consumption among their peers. Program coordinator Joanne Glancy said the students did a fantastic job of communicating information to their fellow students. In addition to Brown, Ross, and Ferrie, the group included Emily Hanlin, Katie Reining, Samantha Klein, and Evan Patrick. GCMS tops Hornets 45-6 in league action game for 87 yards.

You ve probably seen her at Dollar General in Heyworth, because that is where she works. Heather Parker is her name and most likely, she has greeted you as you walked through the door. She feels as if she is living a fairy tale. Read on to find out why. Heather s parents, who had met in high school, came over from England with Heather s grandparents during the 1960 s. They settled down in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Unfortunately, her father was killed in an automobile accident during her mother s pregnancy. Heather was one of his last gifts, and she was born in Eventually, her mother re-married, and Heather s stepfather raised her as his own. Heather s grandfather eventually was promoted and moved to Dixon, Illinois around That s when Heather began spending all of her summer vacations in Illinois. From the day she got out of school until the day it started again, Heather was with her grandparents. She loved it there, and they had a very close relationship. Next door to her grandparents, lived a boy named Rick. He was one year older than Heather, and they became childhood sweethearts. High school brought a lot of changes for Heather.Rick moved to Texas with his parents, and Heather lost interest in spending her summer days in Dixon. After graduating high school, Heather went to work for North American Van Lines where her mother has worked for 38 years. That s where Heather met her ex-husband, and father of her three children. They were divorced two years ago. Heather s children are Morgan, 16; McKenna, 11; and Mason, 10. It was actually Morgan that unknowingly played a role in this very unique story. Morgan thought her mother should have more of a social life and set up a Facebook page for her. At the time, Heather didn t even know how to text, much less get on Facebook. After it was set up, Heather didn t show much of an interest, and didn t even know how to check on it, so every now and then, Morgan Bloomington Old House Society to restore warehouse The Old House Society is asking for help to raise money for its 2011 restoration project at 214 E.

Was Heather ever surprised to find out who it was, and when she did, it gave her butterflies! It was her childhood sweetie, Rick Seloover. (Remember the boy next door?) Oh my gosh, I do want to talk to him, she exclaimed. In his message, he asked if she remembered him. Another message he wrote said that he was no longer in Texas, but had been transferred to Bloomington. Heather was very excited and happy that he was so close. Since she didn t want to type, she asked for his phone Heather Taylor number, and they talked for eight goes back to visit her family hours! Heather learned that Rick once a month.

5 8 September 8, 2011 In the feeding of the 5,000 that I have heard taught in school and Vacation Bible School, that I have heard preached many times and that I have already preached on myself many times (even once this summer) I saw and heard something different (to me at least) when I was reading it in Mark s gospel. 30 The apostles returned to Jesus and told him everything they had done and taught. 31 Many people were coming and going, so there was no time to eat. He said to the apostles, Come by yourselves to a secluded place and rest for a while. 32 They departed in a boat by themselves for a deserted place. 33 Many people saw them leaving and recognized them, so they ran ahead from all the cities and arrived before them. 34 When Jesus arrived and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. Then he began to teach them many things. 35 Late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, This is an isolated place, and it s already late in the day. 36 Send them away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy something to eat for themselves. 37 He replied, You give them something to eat. But they said to him, Should we go off and buy bread worth almost eight months pay and give it to them to eat?

CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVES A column of faith written by heyworth clergy By Pastor Amanda Richards The United of Heyworth (United Methodist) 38 He said to them, How much bread do you have? Take a look. After checking, they said, Five loaves of bread and two fish. 39 He directed the disciples to seat all the people in groups as though they were having a banquet on the green grass. 40 They sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41 He took the five loaves and the two fish, looked up to heaven, blessed them, broke the loaves into pieces, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. 42 Everyone ate until they were full. 43 They filled twelve baskets with the leftover pieces Eleanor M. Yeadon HEYWORTH - Eleanor Ellie M.

[Mark 6:30-44 Common English Bible, courtesy Jesus knew that he performed a miracle and the disciples knew that Jesus performed a miracle. Did the crowd know that Jesus performed a miracle or did they just eat dinner? I ask this question because 5,000 people had to take up a lot of space and they weren t in a stadium with projectors and PowerPoint shows and a great sound system. The disciples didn t make an announcement that told them they didn t have much for dinner and to be prepared for a miracle. So, did these 5,000+ people who were recipients of one of the most simple (bread and fish, not healing the blind or raising the dead), yet grandiose miracles of Jesus even have a clue what they were a part of??? I suspect most of them didn t. So I ask that of us today. How often does Jesus do something big in the lives of others to show his power to the one who needs to see it? Jesus did this because the disciples needed another opportunity to understand the bigness of God s power and provision in and through Jesus. I also wonder if I ve ever been the one who is part of a big miracle, but missed it entirely!? How about you? Be blessed today and every day, Pastor Amanda Richards cherished her family and friends throughout her life.

And the tragedy of it all was that it would not have happened if someone in the train crew had had a knife. The train was one that passed eastward every night shortly after 11 o clock. night it stopped at the chutes east of town to get coal as usual. The loading device is operated by a rope that hangs down from the coal chute, according to the Fairbury Blade. When the tender was full of coal the fireman sought to shut off the flow by releasing the rope only to find that the rope was caught. As the coal continued to come out it fell on the rope holding it more securely. With the rope being held more firmly with every ton of coal that poured out the chute and with the tender and engine being piled high with the fuel, the train crew commenced to ask each other for a knife to cut the rope, but no one had a knife and the coal kept piling right up. Finally after some 40 or 50 tons had run out the coal became clogged in the chute and stopped. By that time the tender and a part of the engine were pretty well covered and it was impossible for the train to proceed.
