Malden salutes its veterans Berlin Township project is ready for Memorial Day

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

MALDEN — Since 2014, Berlin Township representatives have been working to establish a veterans’ memorial at the Malden Cemetery to honor those veterans who are buried there.

“We’ve been sweating it to get it done by Memorial Day,” said Berlin Township’s John Gaylord of the project.

Well, all that sweat paid off ...

The Malden Cemetery now plays host to the veterans’ memorial — a beautiful addition to the quiet cemetery, which includes three flags proudly flying and three large stones, where the names of veterans who are buried in the cemetery are engraved.

Those veterans’ names provide a history lesson for

those who study them — all 75 names, ranging from the Spanish American War, the Civil War, World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East Conflict.

There is also room for other names to be engraved, though Gaylord said, “We don’t anticipate having a whole lot more names to add.”

The memorial has been financed primarily through taxes and donations. Those who would like to help with the financial aspect of the effort, can make a donation at the Malden State Bank.

Memorial Day services at the Malden Cemetery are set for 9:05 a.m. Monday, May 30.

A formal dedication is planned for the memorial on Veterans Day in November.

PRINCETON — The Princeton Elementary School (PES) Board showed its gratitude to the Bacorn family’s generous donation to the district during its board meeting, Monday, May 23.

Noah Bacorn is a bright young man with autism, and his parents Corey and Jennifer gave a much-appreciated offering to PES. A benefit for Noah on April 9 at the Moose Lodge raised $8,775, and the Bacorns attended the board meeting to indicate their desire to give the money back to PES. Superintendent Tim Smith said the amount is no small sum of money for a public school struggling to take in money from the state, and the benefit was not only a huge success but a great deal of fun.

“In a society that seems to relish on personal gain, the Princeton Moose Lodge constantly steps up for those in need,” Smith said. “Please know the Princeton Elementary School District Board, staff, students and families are forever grateful. Your hard work and generosity will impact many students in a great number of ways, and we offer many thanks to all of you.”

In other business, Smith said at the end of April the district had a cash balance of $4,432,775 available, with an average yield of .53 percent. Smith’s claim that Illinois is caught up on its payments to PES and was answered by a sarcastic round of applause from the board members.

“We are currently owed no money

20 graduates earn diplomas from LaMoille High School

IPI: State government workers highest paid in the nation CHICAGO — A new report released recently by the nonpartisan Illinois Policy Institute (IPI) finds state government workers in Illinois are the highest paid in the nation, when wages are indexed for cost of living. The average annual salary of state government workers in Illinois is $59,088 – approximately $10,000 more than the national average for state workers. This is in addition to other benefits such as health insurance and pensions.

The report also found that salaries for state workers in Illinois have increased by 41 percent since 2005, according to state and federal data. Meanwhile, earnings in the private sector have remained nearly flat.

Gov. Bruce Rauner has been negotiating for more than a year with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, a government union that represents more than 35,000 state workers in Illinois.

AFSCME is seeking more than $3 bil-

lion in higher salaries and benefits for government workers, including raises that range from 11.5 to 29 percent. The governor has instead asked AFSCME for a temporary salary freeze in return for new merit pay and incentive bonuses, to bring the contract in line with what taxpayers can afford.

“AFSCME claims its ‘middle-class’ salaries and benefits are under attack, but the numbers say otherwise. Not only do state workers in Illinois make more than the private-sector workers who pay their salaries, the average pay for state workers in Illinois is out of step with their peers in the other 49 states,” said Ted Dabrowski, vice president of policy at the IPI. “Illinois taxpayers simply cannot afford the contract AFSCME is fighting for, and it is wrong to ask everyone to pay more so that a mere .5 percent of the workforce can get another round of raises and benefit increases.”

Highlights from the report:

• State government workers in Illinois are the highest paid in the country after adjusting for cost-of-living differences between the states. Average salary for a state government worker in Illinois: $59,088.

• AFSCME worker salaries grew 3 times faster than private-sector workers’ earnings over the past decade.

• Median AFSCME worker salaries increased more than 40 percent from 2005 to 2014. During that same period, median private-sector earnings in Illinois remained virtually flat.

• Taxpayers pay 77 percent of AFSCME workers’ platinum-level health insurance plans, or $14,880 per worker.

State workers pay bronze-level premiums for platinum-level health insurance benefits.

• State government workers in Illinois are eligible for free retiree health insurance after working for the state for 20 years. This benefit has a cash value of $200,000 to $500,000 for each retiree,

all paid for by taxpayers. Free retiree health care is virtually unheard of in the private sector.

• More than half of state workers retire in their 50s, and career workers receive an average pension of $1.6 million. This is in addition to Social Security. The full report title “Cadillac benefits: Illinois state workers highest paid in nation” can be found online at http://illin.is/1Wmmdak.

The IPI is a nonpartisan research and education organization. Its vision is to make Illinois first in economic outlook and job creation, and for Illinois to become a free enterprise leader for the rest of America. As a leading independent research and education organization, the Institute generates positive and sustainable policy solutions for citizens and lawmakers that help unleash talent and entrepreneurial ability.

Taking a (summer) break PHS Board begins the summer with a new board member

By E ric E ngel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton High School Board met Wednesday, May 25, to swear in a new member and celebrate a productive school year as they head into summer break.

The board swore in new board member Gary Hanna, who read the oath of office as a reaffirmation of his loyalty and dedication to Princeton High School, the city of Princeton and its residents.

PHS Assistant Principal Jeff Ohlson said both the boys and girls basketball programs were recognized for the IHSA team academic achievement award. The boys team grade point average was 3.02, and the girls team grade point average was 3.46.

Principal Andy Berlinski noted the Awards Night on Monday, May 16, was a great evening for everyone involved and recognized, and School Improvement Day on Friday, May 20, allowed for students and staff to interact concerning a variety of academics and maybe give one last warm thank you to each other at the finish line of their PHS careers.

Institute Day was held Thursday, May 26, and staff delved into CPR training, divisional meetings, student growth measures and Senate Bill 100 training,

also discussing changes to special education this upcoming school year.

Berlinski thanked all members of the community who use their Target red card to help raise funds for the school.

Under the Take Charge of Education program, 1 percent of all transactions using the Target red card were donated back to PHS — resulting in a $350 donation.

Superintendent Kirk Haring said staging has gotten underway for the summer roofing project, with prep work leading into project initiation that could start before Memorial Day. Contractors have been in the boiler room getting ready for asbestos abatement.

The board approved Hopkins and Associates as the Fiscal Year 2016 auditor at the cost of $9,850. The board also approved the following personnel appointments: Tameran Polowy, Student Council sponsor; Alyssa Rose, special education department chair; Shawn Yepsen, maternity leave request from Aug. 17 to Oct. 11; and Jessica Holman, maternity leave request from Oct. 1 to Feb. 1.

The board then went into closed session for matters related to individual students and personnel, the likes of which will be discussed in the Tuesday, May 31, edition of the BCR. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

Funding From Page 1A from the state, but the payments they are giving us are diminished, pro-rated payments,” Smith said, stating Illinois is funding about onethird of its schools, which ranks them dead last in the nation in that category.

He said it’s important for community members and academic professionals to push for legislation to follow the monetary suggestions from the Educational Funding Advisory Board — which is just under $9,000 per student.

“We are looking at funding which would create not a globally superior school system, but an adequate school system, and that would require about $8,800 per student,” Smith said, noting the current law says the state is supposed to be giving PES $6,119 per student, but they are only giving about 92 percent of that.

“In the state of Illinois, it’s unfortunately become pretty easy to anticipate they’re not going to send us much money, so the burden comes back to local taxpayers,” he noted, adding the state needs to find ways to generate revenue that will do a better job of meeting the needs of schools and social welfare agencies, etc. “Let’s not jump through any more hoops, but just find ways to fund schools.”

Also, the board members approved Hopkins and Associates as district auditor at a cost not to exceed $11,850, and decided on Zukowski Law Offices as its district counsel. Two passenger vans used for student transit — both of which had over 200,000 miles — were replaced with two new vehicles at a price of $49,334.94.

Centrue Bank got the technology lease bid of $85,000 at a rate of 2.05 percent, which will be used to purchase technology and equipment.

Desert Storm From Page 1A with a pedigree in respect and an appreciation for freedom.

Strugala said working the midnight shift while heading toward a drunken and incarcerated reality was a dead end in his mind, and joining the U.S. Army was one of the best decisions he ever made. He fought in Desert Storm, and said the scrawny kid full of wild antics took a crash course on how the world actually was.

“Desert Storm was an awesome experience, but as a young guy it was definitely a life-changing experience,” Strugala said. “This is the real deal, and there were a couple of instances in the thick of action where I didn’t know if I was coming home.”

Strugala recalled Desert Storm was coming off the end of the Vietnam War era, and he didn’t realize the full concept of it all.

Iraq had just ended a 10-year battle with Iran, and within a year they invaded Kuwait. Although considered an adult by age, Strugala was still young and naive, and each hour of service propelled him into his maturation.

Traveling through different countries and training with different armies over his two decades of service taught Strugala a lot about the unique cultures in the world, and he feels everyone who isn’t going to college should have a stint in the military to gain discipline and self-respect.

Too often in the modern day he runs into kids who feel entitled to everything offered, constantly asking, “What are you going to do for me?”

“It irks me to see people who feel everything is owed to them,” he said, stating a person can simply do a few years and go on their merry way, as he planned to, but often they will be introduced to a much greater influence than they expected.

“I say to these kids, ‘When I was your age, I was in the middle of the desert being asked to legally kill people for a living, not knowing if I was coming home,’ Strugala said.

“In Desert Storm we knew the enemy and our objective, but in Iraq you didn’t,” he said. “When we came back in 2004 we’d be driving down the middle of the interstate without letting anybody pass us. Cops pulled us over and said, “You’re not in Iraq anymore, get into your lane,” but it’s not a switch you can just turn off.”

He said in the last decade the government has done a better job of integrating soldiers back into their civilian lives — instead of just dropping them on the curb and wishing them good luck — and a triumphant tribute approaches Strugala this Memorial Day. He and his family have been invited to Washington, D.C. to march down the center lane of the city during the 25th anniversary commemorative parade of Desert Storm. Walking with 500 fellow Desert Storm veterans on Memorial Day — Monday, May 30 — will be an emotional experience in one of the best ways imaginable.

He said Desert Storm has diminished in the nation’s memory, and it is poorly categorized as the first Gulf War or part of Operation Iraqi Freedom, but

the Desert Storm conflict was an experience all its own.

“It was one of the most decisive battles in American history, and it turned the tide from the Vietnam conflict, taking the guilt and anger against Vietnam veterans away from the American people,” he said.

Strugala said it’s hard for civilians to understand the brotherhood in the military, and after a soldier has done six or seven tours, it is essentially all they know how to do. Strugala and his wife, Renee, said it doesn’t matter who you are — if you served then you are family to your battle buddies, and that camaraderie is always there.

Strugala was recently in Washington, D.C., where he heard the Ambassador of Kuwait speak, and he said there is a plot and designs for a Desert Storm memorial in the nation’s capital, which will rise with financial assistance. He said the tearful walk through the red, white and blue streamers on Memorial Day will be about reflecting on the friends and brothers … the soldiers of this country … who took their last breath ensuring all other Americans could take many more.

“Life is about respect, so I tell people all the time to join the military because you’re going to get discipline and knowledge and meet people who teach you about life,” he said, noting if he could change one thing he’d have chosen to go to officer’s school.

“It was long and it was fun, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat, because when you get out your life is going to be a better experience.”

Avoiding Memorial Day mayhem ISP ask motorists to remain safe

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Illinois State Police (ISP) will be out in full force this Memorial Day weekend making sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday remembering those who sacrificed their life for their country.

Lt. Jon Dively, ISP District 17 commander, reminded motorists to take the necessary actions to prevent senseless tragedies during the Memorial Day weekend. The ISP will be enforcing the four most common traffic violations — speeding, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, failure to wear a seat belt, and distracted driving.

“Memorial Day weekend is one of the busiest periods for travelers, and millions of motorists are expected to hit the roadways and interstates across the country,” Dively said.

Dively said if a person is going to indulge in alcohol during the weekend, they should make sure to designate a driver.

Keep your eyes on the road and off the cell phone because unless it’s hands free, Illinois law prohibits the use of any electronic devices while operating a motor vehicle. As always, watch your speed, and be sure to buckle up.

Dively said tempers behind the wheel can rise with the summer temperatures, and he suggested for everyone to think about the safety of their loved ones if they become frustrated due to holiday traffic, road construction or an overly busy schedule.

“Remember, as long as you reach your destination safely you win,” Dively said. “If others are driving aggressively, call 911 and report an accurate location and description of the violating vehicle. We must remove dangerous drivers from the road for everyone’s safety.”

According to an ISP release, troopers issued 3,309 tickets for speeding violations from Friday to Monday of Memorial Day weekend in 2015. During the same time period, there were 217 DUI arrests; 961 seat belt violations; and 164 distracted driver violations.

‘Whatever you do ...’

As Memorial Day approaches, I always reflect on those traditions we held near and dear to our hearts when I was a child. While busy, the day was fairly simple; even so, I knew there was much meaning behind the day and all which it encomTerri passed.

With the dew Simon still fresh on the COMMENTARY grass, Grandma, my cousin Debbie and myself would head out to our patch of irises with our pair of old scissors and a bucket of water. There, Grandma would carefully clip the long blooms, hand them to us, and we placed them in the bucket. The next stop would be the peony bushes, where the process continued until our bucket was overflowing with blooms.

Grandpa’s old, green Chevy would be in the barnyard with the trunk lid raised. Already inside would be coffee cans and mayonnaise jars, which we had covered with aluminum foil to make them look pretty. Eventually, my mom would come from the old farmhouse with a picnic lunch she had created. Hot dogs, chips, baked beans, potato salad ... I don’t really remember the menu very well, but just the idea of a picnic with the whole family was unique, since Grandpa believed meals should be eaten around the dining room table in one’s own home. This was really a stretch for him.

The ride into Princeton? Well it was crowded in Grandpa’s old, green Chevy, and even though we were normally chatty kids, we instinctively knew to save our words for later on — we were about to participate in a somewhat reverent experience, and our best behavior was expected.

Oakland Cemetery was the first stop, and as soon as the doors of the car were opened, we looked like ants at a picnic. One of the “vases” would be handed to us kids, and we had to take it to one of the pumps to fill it with water. Meanwhile, Grandma would be pulling flowers from the bucket, and when we returned from the pump, she would arrange the flowers before placing the vase in front of the monument — graves of people we, as children, had never met, yet still we realized the importance of our actions. We’d all pause for a few minutes in front of the monument; admire our flowers; and then load up into the car to head to the next grave site. On the way to the next family member who was buried there, Grandma would always say the same thing to everyone in the car: “Whatever you do ... always take care of the graves,” she’d say.

After tending to the cemetery business, we’d head to Princeton’s Main Street to watch the parade, and then to City-County Park for our picnic. It truly was a big day for a family who stayed closed to the farm.

Many, many years have passed since those Memorial Days of long ago, and Grandma’s words still ring in my head: “Whatever you do ... always take care of the graves.”

And I do ... although at the time, I never, ever thought Grandma and Grandpa’s graves would be part of the tradition. Unfortunately, there are now other family members who I knew and loved who get a bouquet of flowers, along with all the graves we visited when I was a child.

I was taught at a very young age to respect and remember those family members who have passed.

Even though blood is the only thing that connects me with many of them, they are still my family, and Grandma’s words still ring in my head. “Whatever you do ...”

As you visit the cemeteries this year, I hope you’ll take your children/grandchildren with you, so they will understand this important tradition of respect and remembrance. “Whatever you do ...” are important words ... and perhaps one of the most important traditions we can offer the younger generation.

As the Memorial Day weekend is upon us, I wish you a day filled with family times as you hopefully carry out the traditions you’ve established. And if some of those traditions have fallen by the wayside ... well, it’s never too late to re-create them. I think we owe it to our younger generations to allow them to experience the respect and remembrance our ancestors deserve.

Richard Widmark: A Princeton legend Persons of Influence — Becoming Richard Widmark Column and artwork by Bartlett Lee Kassabaum Special to the BCR

The Widmark brothers would take lessons from Miss Farwell for almost three years and perform in numerous recitals under her direction, as did Virgil Fox. Richard also performed on the piano in the 1928 Logan School production of the operetta “The Maid and the Golden Slipper.” Days later, April 30, 1928, the Widmark brothers would be performing together at another of Miss Farwell’s recitals at the Congregational Church.

Grace Luella Farwell would give piano and organ lessons in Princeton from about 1903 to 1960. My wife, Connie, and her older sister, Nancy, were two of her students at the end of her teaching days. She moved to the Clark Hotel in 1930, not wanting the big house to tend to, after the death of her mother, Luella, who passed on Dec. 9, 1929. In 1940 she became a lodger with John and Eva Fields and their family, at 211 Park Avenue East. She had neighbors of Ron and Bernice Peterson at that time, who lived next door at 215 Park Avenue East.

Ron and his wife, Bernice, were two of the nicest people you would ever want to meet in Princeton, if you were fortunate to ever cross their path. Ron was always in men’s ready to wear, with his older brother, Forrest, except for the war years, when he served his country. Ron was working one day when I first met him at Peterson’s Clothing Store. He was to me, so easily likeable. It wasn’t that long before I was at his house looking at his carvings, which he was rightfully proud of. In conversation, at some point, Ron, with a shy grin, told me “he was a few classes ahead of Richard Widmark,the actor,” in high school. He said Widmark was “really something.” I’m not sure if he meant that about when Widmark was in high school after him, or what he had become after leaving high school and Princeton. I never asked at the time.

It wasn’t bragging of any sort by Ron, just his small claim to fame by association, and he was quite proud of it also. I could tell.

Ron was Class of 1928 at Princeton High School. He was the president of the senior class, just like Richard Widmark in the Class of 1932. They had that in common. Ron’s classmates said Ron had good sense and a sterling character Ron was a person of the arts also, besides selling men’s clothes. Ron was a duck carver, with his own unique style, and a waiting list that was never completely filled.

I was still on that waiting list for a pair of small Bufflehead when Ron died on Dec. 4, 2007. Failing health, for Ron’s neighbor, Grace Farwell, caused a move to Prairie View in 1962.

Virgil Fox was in Princeton for a concert on Nov. 3, 1970, at the high school gymnasium at 8 p.m. Fox was internationally known, and it would be a major event for Princeton. It would be his last concert in his hometown. The town was honoring their hometown boy with a two-day celebration, including a parade, the concert and the presentation of a gold key to the city, by Mayor Roland “Pete” Eckdahl.

Pete was Class of 1929 at Princeton High School, a year ahead of Virgil.

Richard Widmark was a freshman in 1929. I got to know Pete a little, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when I was privileged to be included at the morning coffee gatherings at Brown’s Tribune Printing. Pete would walk the couple of blocks down the street from his clothing store, Eckdahl’s Clothing, at 519 S. Main, for morn-

ing coffee and conversation. The Brown brothers, Stan (in Widmark’s Class) and Harlow (Class of 1936), Bill Brown, sometimes Doug, Pete Eckdahl, Bob Zearing (Class of 1929), Max Morel (Class of 1936), Cliff Leonard, Hugh Skinner, Harold Parr (Class of 1935), would sit around the coffee table in the front picture window office at 413 S. Main St. It was on more than one occasion that the name of Richard Widmark would enter the conversation. The personal recollections were mainly from high school days and usually only of where some of them were in school, in relation to Widmark. Pete remembered Widmark had kind of a slick look, was not that big of a guy to play football, but tough, and had the nickname of “the sheik.” I don’t think he thought a lot of Richard Widmark in high school, but gave him his due in what he had become.

Fred Russell and Alba Miller, my wife’s great uncles, were also in the Class of 1929. I knew them both in life. I tell you all of this, not to be dropping names, but only to tell you in lamenting, that I had all of these people at hand, to question about Richard Widmark, and now they are all gone. Many were in school with Richard Widmark, in his class, or on either side of it by two to four years.

I was in the right place, but with no interest at the time, in what I am writing about now. All the questions I could have asked!

It was the night of the concert, with a crowd of 1,600 at Princeton High School, and four standing ovations.

Fox dedicated one of his numbers to Miss Grace Luella Farwell who was now 90 years of age and living at Prairie View. He acknowledged that she “gave me my start” and remembered to the audience that she had a “pretty complexion.” He even remembered he had his lessons from her on Mondays at 7 a.m. in the Congregational Church basement on his way to Lincoln school.

Grace Luella Farwell passed away on April 3, 1973. Grace’s nephew, Bobby Farwell, the boyhood friend and cookie source for Donald and Richard, joined the Coast Guard during World War II. He was married, had a young son, and lived in Galva, Illinois, at the time. He was a gunner’s mate first class, a captain of a gun crew, and saw action during

the Normandy and Southern France assaults. He survived the war, came home, and died in a truck accident Feb. 27, 1948. Roland H. “Pete” Eckdahl, former mayor of Princeton, died Aug. 17, 2002.

Richard Widmark had this to say in a 1954 interview. “Acting is fun for me as long as it presents a challenge.

I’d even like to do a musical on the screen! When I was in high school I played the wire drums with The Rhythm Kings, an eight-piece combo a bunch of us fellows assembled to provide our spending money. We made $2 each, an engagement, playing the overtures and background music for school shows and at dances. I’ve been a suppressed song and dance man ever since.” Richard Widmark always had a piano in his home until the day he died. It would be hard to believe that Grace Farwell had no influence on Richard Widmark.

A big thanks for the information and photos from Grace Luella Farwell’s great-nieces Fran Lee (Farwell) Pekrul and Mary Jean (Farwell) Browne who live in Fredonia, Kansas.

Their mother was Grace Carolyn Farwell, who was three years ahead of Richard Widmark at Princeton High School, Class of 1929, with Pete Eckdahl, Alba Miller, Fred Russell and Bob Zearing. Thanks and a hat tip to Linda Gustafson also. I’ll have another Person of Influence, Doris Elsie Fetherston, and Richard Widmark, the next time you let me cross your mind. See my art at Art in the Park next Saturday at Soldiers and Sailors Park.

My time in the lab led me to seek out an internship at the local domestic violence shelter. I was able to apply the knowledge and skills I had gained while working in the lab to real life situations; answering crisis calls on the hotline, interacting with clients living in the shelter and evaluating new clients’ eligibility for services. I also worked as an intern in the abuser inter-

vention services program.

I often found myself referring back to topics I had been introduced to in both my psychology and sociology classes; the influence of social forces on an individual’s behavior, family structure and upbringing, and the process of breaking down systems of belief and creating new meaning for those systems. After my experiences, I felt inspired to continue to make changes in the lives of peo-

ple who may have struggled and made mistakes along the way. I now plan to pursue a career based in the behavioral intervention field.”

PJWC’s Laura Orr met with Chief Becker and the Ohio First Responders to present them with a “Pediatric Jump Kit Bag” For their Fire and Rescue District.

PJWC presents pediatric kit PRINCETON — In 2014, the Princeton Junior Woman’s Club began fundraising efforts to provide every first responder unit in Bureau County with at least one Pediatric Jump Kit Bag. Pediatric Jump Kit Bags are specialized kits that put critical pediatric emergency supplies in one place to help EMS respond to pediatric calls with organized, easily accessible and properly-sized equipment.

The Pediatric Jump Kit contains different color-coded packs that correspond to the colors on a specialized “tape mea-

sure” that can be placed alongside the patient. Based on the patient’s size, the correctly sized medical equipment can be obtained instantly, saving valuable time in an emergency.

The GFWC began this partnership with the EMSC (Emergency Medical Services for Children) in 2011, in an effort to place pediatric jump kit bags in ambulances across the nation.

To date, PJWC has purchased and provided Pediatric Jump Kit Bags to eight first responder units in Bureau County.

Mr. Thars any. He was probably too excited over his own summer vacation to notice.

“What a coincidence.

We’re learning about tikis today,” he said.

When Luke and I walked in class, there was writing on the board and pictures on the screen of tikis.

When Mr. Thars walked in the room, he started immediately with his lesson.

“On the last day we will learn about tikis,” he said.

“Tikis are wooden or stone carvings of a human figure, often a god the ones who are making the tiki believe in. They may be depicted holding spears, bows and swords. Some people are very superstitious about tikis, believing they are bad luck or even evil.”

The whole rest of the school day, all I could think about were those tikis. I felt like their evil little eyes were staring at me, reminding me they were waiting for me.

At the end of the day,

Luke, Lindy and I were nearly trampled by classmates when trying to find each other as we exited the school. When we finally were safely outside, I thought I saw a totem pole with several faces, each showing a different emotion — there was one that was excited, one that was happy and one that was scared. A car drove in front of the totem pole and it was gone! Boy, I must need a summer break more than I thought because I may be starting to hallucinate.

As we walked into the school, it started to rain. A teacher, Mr. Thars, asked kids as they were going in if they were going anywhere during their summer vacation. Mr. Thars was one of Luke and I’s teachers.

“Jeffrey and Luke, are you going anywhere special?”

When he asked us, Lindy started to cry.

“It is supposed to be haunted!” she cried.

“There are cursed tikis there.”

Her tears didn’t bother

Western Illinois Area Agency on Aging and Disability Resource Network Helping You Protect Your Medicare Your Medicare is important to you. Making decisions about your Medicare can be difficult as you often have many options from which to choose that can be confusing and a bit overwhelming. The last thing you need is someone taking advantage of you through Medicare Fraud.

WIAAA promotes the Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) program which provides tips to help you avoid and detect fraud. Some of those tips are: • Read your Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) or Explanation of Benefits (EOB) notice to ensure you are being billed correctly for the service you receive. Report errors and suspicious charges.

• Never provide your Medicare or Medicaid number (or any part of it) unless you know who you are dealing with.

• Never accept medical services, supplies or equipment from someone on the phone, a door-to-door sales representative, or a TV or magazine ad.

• If a caller tries to threaten or pressure you into something, hang up the phone.

• Do not let mail sit in your mailbox for more than one day.

• Avoid people who tell you that an item or service is not usually covered by Medicare or Medicaid but they can bill for it differently to get paid.

A day at the Beech(er) Bruins advance to sectional championship

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

SENECA — The way Nick Plankenhorn sees things, the more the St. Bede Bruins win, the more they are going to be ticking people off.

The Bruins continued its winning ways in the postseason in a big way Wednesday, blasting Beecher 11-0 in semifinal play at the 1A Sectional.

Plankenhorn shut out the Bobcats on one hit and got offensive support from junior catcher Bryant Eustice, who hit a grand slam in the top of the fourth inning to put the 10-run rule into effect, and Braidy Shipp, who had two hits and drove in three runs.

The red-hot Bruins will take a 17-15 record up against Braidwood ReedCuster (24-5) for Saturday’s sectional championship.

First pitch is 11 a.m. at Seneca High School.

“It’s unbelievable. I hate to say it, but we were a lot better team last year,” Plankenhorn said of the Bruins’ 2015 state qualifier.

“This year, no one expects it. I think every time we win, we (tick) some more people off. I think we enjoy that.”

“What are we doing here?” SBA coach Bill Booker said. “That’s the thing we’re asking ourselves. How did we get here? We’re loose, we have a little swagger, we’ve had great plate approaches, we’ve had great outings from our pitchers and our defense has been good enough.”

The Bruins really had a day at the Beech(er), espe-

cially in the fourth inning when Eustice stepped up to the plate with the sacks jammed on three Bobcats errors. The junior catcher hit a bomb over the leftfield fence near the railroad tracks and sent the Bruins express onto the sectional finals.

Eustice, who only realized the ball had left the yard when he heard the roar from the Bruins dugout as he rounded first base, may have been as surprised as anyone.

“It felt rare, coming off the ball. We’re taking batting cage every day and today it was feeling better.

Come game time, and got a hold of one,” Eustice said.

“That was a great poke.

That really gave us more momentum,” Plankenhorn said.

Eustice described the mob scene awaiting him at home plate as surreal.

Funny thing was, Booker said he considered calling for a squeeze instead, glad that he let Eustice swing away.

“When Bryant hits the ball, he hits it hard. We’ve had to work on a few things

Bruins in position to trophy PHS’ Mead qualifies in Class 2A 300 IH

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

CHARLESTON — The St. Bede Bruins have positioned themselves to make a run for a team trophy in Saturday’s finals of the IHSA 1A Boys State Track & Field Championship at Eastern Illinois University.

SBA sophomore Bret Dannis will carry the top ranked times into the finals of both hurdle events. In addition, senior John Barnes stands No. 2 in the discus and No. 5 in the shot put and classmate Baylee Hopps will come in ninth in triple jump.

Based on those projections, the Bruins would score 34 points. Last year’s 1A champ Carthage Illini West tallied 52 points with fourth place Aurora Christian at 29.

“Well, we’re hoping. Try not to look too far forward,” SBA coach Ron Barnes said. “Told the kids we know they can individually do it in their events and to concentrate on that aspect of it. When they do well there, they will do well on the overall.”

The Bruins will be joined in Saturday’s finals

by Princeton’s Lenny Mead, who is ranked third in the 2A 300 hurdles.

Dannis simply blew away the field in the hurdles. He first hit the track to turn in a 39.38 in the 300 IH; no other competitor topped 40.0 flat. In the 110 HH, he burned the EIU blue track for a time of 14.91 in the 110 HH. No other hurdler eclipsed 15.0 flat.

Ron Barnes said Dannis continues to surprise him, especially coming off Shaw Media Service Photo/Michael Krabbenhoeft a broken leg during foot- Princeton’s Lenny Mead clips the final hurdle during the ball.

“He just couldn’t keep the first couple inbounds for some reason, trying to give me a heart attack, I guess,” Ron Barnes said. “But he calmed down and had a nice easy one at the end and still threw a 167 feet. He said he’s feeling really good and expects his shot to go up, too.”

In the shot, John Barnes recorded a throw of 52-6 1/4, which stands fifth behind leader Rock Island Alleman senior Kyler Yodts (60-1 1/2).

“I’m just hoping to be able to go throw better in both so that I can get a medal,” John Barnes said.

Hopps jumped 43-0 to stand ninth in the triple jump, a field headed by junior Nick Schultz of Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley (4410 1/4). Hopps progressed every jump, Ron Barnes said, and is capable of moving up more.

Amboy/LaMoille qualified its 4x800 relay of seniors Josh Gross, Alan Stamberger and Romeo Blackburn and freshman Thomas Stamberger. They turned the eighth-best time of the day of 8:20, good for a LHS school record.

After running, Gross and the Stambergers raced home for the LHS graduation ceremonies.

Bureau Valley athletes failed to advance with senior Will Konneck competing in the 100 and 200 dashes and junior Hunter Schoff and freshman Kale Barnett in pole vault.

“I was extremely proud of all our young men. We competed well and had a great showing here at state,” PHS coach Dan Foes said.

“Of course we are excited to have Lenny in finals of the 300’s. He did not run his cleanest race but had a very good time nonetheless. Hopefully tomorrow he can run his best race.”

From Page 11A “Our team and coaches knew we could do well and that we could compete with the fast teams down at state,” Gross said.

But that was only half the excitement. The Clippers stayed around for a couple more events, then packed their bags to rush home to allow Gross and Alan Stamberger to participate in the LHS 2016 graduation ceremonies with their 18 classmates. Stamberger spoke on behalf of his class as class president and both received awards.

They made it back home by 4:20 p.m. with a stop for a quick bite on the way, “It was a crazy and exciting day for all of us,” Gross said. “Graduation was even more special than I ever could have imagined. I will never forget that day. It was a wonderful day.”

After Thursday evening graduation parties, the Clippers were back on the road Friday morning, ready to chase down a medal in Saturday’s finals.

From Page 11A on his swing, but he’s receptive to everything. I’m so happy for him.

He even took extra time in the cage the other day,� Booker said.

Plankenhorn took care of the rest. He set the first 10 Bobcats he faced down with seven strikeouts, five straight to end the first inning and finish the second. Finally, Beecher senior Joe Ruzich broke up the no-hit perfect game with a single that one-hopped right fielder Josh Sapp on a bare-hand grab.

Plankenhorn said he didn’t give the perfect game much thought. “I knew it was going on, but I didn’t think much of it. I just continuing to stay in my groove and keep throwing,� he said. “He’s unreal to catch,� Eustice said. “He knows where I want it.

I know where he wants it. Chemistry is unbelievable. Comes out every game and does his best.�

Booker instructed the Bruins right before the start of the game to make Beecher starter Benji Cortez work and get his pitch count up early. Cortez never made it out of the first inning, walking the first three batters he faced.

Leadoff man Nick Szczepaniak walked and scored on a wild pitch on a ball four in the dirt to Brady Booker. Braidy Shipp followed with a rip over the third base bag to drive in two to make it 3-0.

Booker said the early uprising helped take pressure off Plankenhorn and gave the Bruins a little swagger. “I like getting a lead, getting momentum. Really helped me go out there and throw strikes,� said Plankenhorn, who capped the

But to be in that game and playing with the confidence we have, you have to give us a chance and that’s all we want,� Booker said.

“We want this time of year to be our year. We want to be the last team in the area playing. That’s been our goal all year long,� he said.

Eustice said it’s not exactly another case of the Bruins having postseason magic, but it would be hard to say otherwise. “It’s awesome to see what we’re accomplishing here. I wouldn’t say magic. I would say momentum,â€? he said. “We’re learning a lot from last year. Obviously it’s exciting. We’re really high, but we’ve got to play our own game, and playing our own game’s got us here.â€? • Bruins briefs: Booker will send Bartley to the mound Saturday. ....

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report for Calendar Year 2015 Princeton, IL (IL0110850)

This report is intended to provide you with important information about your drinking water and the efforts made by the water system to provide safe drinking water. This report includes drinking water facts, information on violations (if applicable), and contaminants detected in your drinking water supply during calendar year 2015. Each year, we will provide you a new report. If you need help understanding this report or have general questions, please contact the person listed below.

Este informe contiene información muy importante sobre el agua que usted bebe. Tradúzcalo ó hable con alguien que lo entienda bien.

John Eggers, Water Department - Chief Operator (815) 872-0811 john.eggers@princeton-il.com

Sources of Drinking Water The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and groundwater wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Our source of water comes from ground water, located in the Sankoty aquifer, from four wells located near the water treatment plant.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include:  Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.  Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial, or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.  Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses.  Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.  Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

Other Facts about Drinking Water Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

Source Water Assessments Source water protection (SWP) is a proactive approach to protecting our critical sources of public water supply and assuring that the best source of water is being utilized to serve the public. It involves implementation of pollution prevention practices to protect the water quality in a watershed or wellhead protection area serving a public water supply. Along with treatment, it establishes a multi-barrier approach to assuring clean and safe drinking water to the citizens of Illinois. The Illinois EPA has implemented a source water assessment program (SWAP) to assist with wellhead and watershed protection of public drinking water supplies.

We want our valued customers to be informed about their water quality. If you would like to learn more, please feel welcome to attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. They are held the first and third Mondays of each month at 7:00 pm at the Princeton City Hall. The source water assessment for our supply is completed by the Illinois EPA. If you would like a copy of this information, please stop by the Water Plant or call our water operator at 815-872-0811. To view an up to date summary of the Source Water Assessments, including: Importance of Source Water; Susceptibility to Contamination Determination; and documentation/recommendation of Source Water Protection Efforts, you may access the Illinois EPA website at http://www.epa.state.il.us/cgi-bin/wp/swap-fact-sheets.pl.

The Princeton Community Water Supply collects source water from four wells in a confined aquifer. The Illinois EPA has determined that the Princeton Community Water Supply's source water is not susceptible to contamination. This determination is based on a number of criteria including; monitoring conducted at the wells; monitoring conducted at the entry point to the distribution system; and available hydrogeological data on the wells. The Illinois EPA at this time has not updated its Source Water Assessment Plan. Please access the Illinois EPA website at http://dataservices.epa.illinois.gov/swap/factsheet.aspx for the most up to date Source Water Protection Assessment.

2015 Regulated Contaminants Detected The next several tables summarize contaminants detected in your drinking water supply.

Here are a few definitions and scientific terms which will help you understand the information in the contaminant detection tables.

AL Avg MCL MCLG MRDL MRDLG N/A NTU pCi/L ppb ppm TT

Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

Regulatory compliance with some MCLs is based on running annual average of monthly samples.

Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the Maximum Contaminant Level Goal as feasible using the best available treatment technology.

Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level: The highest level of disinfectant allowed in drinking water.

Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal: The level of disinfectant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs allow for a margin of safety.

Not Applicable Nephelometric Turbidity Units picocuries per liter ( a measure of radioactivity) Parts per billion or micrograms per liter (ug/L) - or one ounce in 7,350,000 gallons of water.

Parts per million or milligrams per liter (mg/L) - or one ounce in 7,350 gallons of water.

Treatment Technique: A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The Princeton Public Water Supply is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components.

When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Note: - The state requires monitoring of certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. Therefore, some of this data may be more than one year old.

- Due to favorable monitoring history, aquifer characteristics, and inventory of potential sources of contamination, the Princeton Community Water Supply was issued a vulnerability waiver. Monitoring for SOCs, VOCs and Cyanide was reduced in 2015.

- *A maximum contamination level (MCL) for this contaminant has not been established by either state or federal regulations, nor has mandatory health effects language been set. The purpose of unregulated contaminate monitoring is to assist USEPA in determining the occurrence of unregulated contaminants in drinking water and whether future regulation is warranted.

Violation Summary Table We are happy to announce that no monitoring, reporting, treatment technique, maximum residual disinfectant level, or maximum contaminant level violations were recorded during 2015.
