DePue enters into agreement with Selby Township By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

DEPUE – The DePue Village Board has approved an intergovernmental agreement with Selby Township. The agreement gives the village and township legal rights to work together, share equipment and man power, and help maintain each others roads. DePue Mayor Eric Bryant confirmed the village and township has never had a written agreement. “It will save both of us time and expenses,” he said. “We’re using our equipment on their roads and they are using their equipment on our roads.” Bryant said the legal agreement is important to have on file and will lay out legal understandings on issues such as who is responsible for covering the insurance in cases where an employee is injured while on the job. For example, If a township employee is injured on village streets, the agreement will clearly state the township will cover the insurance of its employee although the employee was working within village limits. Bryant gave a couple examples of how the agreement will benefit both parties. “(The township) has certain equipment for gravel roads, like a grater, we own a gravel road and don’t have that equipment to take care of it,” he said. “The agreement will allow (the township) to maintain the road and DePue will pay for the materials.” Also in the winter, since the township’s plows have to drive through the village to get to the township roads, the agreement will now allow them to drop their plow and clear the snow on the roads that lead out of the village.

No decision yet on closing Reagan school By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The future of the Reagan Middle School in Tiskilwa is still an unknown for the Princeton Elementary School District board, staff, families and residents. After a lengthy discussion at Monday’s meeting, the PES board agreed to wait until September to get a Building Fund Reduction Plan recommendation from Superintendent Tim Smith and his administrative team on how to cut expenses in the district’s building fund,

which could include closing Reagan. Those savings are needed, in part, because of decreasing transportation funding from the state and also the uncertain costs to the district from any of state’s pension reform plan. As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the possible closing of Reagan has been projected to save the district an estimated $90,000 in transportation costs, as well as other savings in custodial staff, bus fleet reduction and bus service reduction. At its May meeting, the PES board had looked to its July meeting for decision-

time on the Building Fund Reduction Plan and possible closing of Reagan. The possible closing of Reagan would not affect the 2013-14 school year. At Monday’s meeting, board member Terry O’Neil voiced his concerns about the recommendation to close Reagan coming from the school board itself, rather than from the superintendent. The board hired the superintendent to handle problems and the board should not usurp the superintendent’s position, he said.

Manlius discusses changes to water billing fees By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS – The Manlius Village Board met in a special meeting on Tuesday night to comb through the village’s water billing ordinance and make recommendations for changes to current fees charged for water usage. The issue of water fees has been a topic of discussion at the last couple village board meetings, therefore village president Rob Hewitt scheduled a special meeting to discuss changes that would better benefit residents and the village.

Village board members Dawn Reglin and Darrell Anderson joined Hewitt, village clerk Lori Roush and water billing clerk Susan Marie Elmendorf on Tuesday. The changes board members discussed and agreed upon will have to be brought to the full board at the next meeting to be voted on and put into affect. The first water fee brought to light was the $25 monthly fee charged to property owners regardless of whether their structure is occupied or not. Board members all agreed the $25 fee should be scratched for property owners who have a residence, but don’t have running water.

The board also discussed changing the current $50 fee to have a name change on a water bill account. Reglin believes the current fee amount is “steep.” “Wouldn’t you rather have people calling you and making sure bills are in the right name and not worrying about paying the $50?” she questioned. Reglin recognized changing a name on an account takes time, but suggested reducing the fee to $10 so residents are not discouraged to call and change the account name.

IV Alzheimer’s Group takes new direction By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

PERU – Due to conflicting views of how to serve the needs of the Illinois Valley and its residents, the Illinois Valley Alzheimer’s Group has severed ties with the Peoria Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association and will be providing its services locally.

“There were ways we wanted to spend our money. We wanted to give $2,400 to research, but they wouldn’t allow us to,” said Peg Gonet, support group facilitator. “It’s been kind of a, ‘They need us and our funding, but they won’t help us.’ This has been a problem for us for the last year.” As a result of the break, the funding that

the IVAG receives from donations and events will stay in the Illinois Valley to provide assistance for local residents. Many of the local volunteers of the IVAG have been working with the organization since 2000. Most started as the planning group of the Illinois Valley Memory Walk, a fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Association. This group planned several additional fundraisers throughout the year, including the Boo Milby Memory Run which more than doubled the income of the Alzheimer’s Association that came from the Illinois Valley. “The Memory Walk itself only made about $7,500 the first year I was involved. After Joanne Milby organized the 5K run in honor of her husband, that amount tripled,” said Kelly Klobucher, former Memory Walk coordinator. “This effort was independent for the association, but the Milby family generously donated the entire proceeds of the run to it. It was amazing to see our community rally and support the Milby family. “The IVAG has repeatedly requested additional services and programs for this area to go along with the increase

in funds raised. The Peoria Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association has instead reduced resources, citing the economy, staffing issues and the distance from their office,” said Klobucher. Klobucher said the IVAG also requested assistance to pay for speakers and support group meetings. This request was denied. “After our request was denied, we decided to use the funds raised from the 5K run and other small events to provide needed resources to the support group instead of donating it to the Peoria Chapter,” said Gonet. “We also learned the Peoria Chapter has attempted to contact sponsors of the Boo Milby Memory Run to have those donations sent to Peoria.” “On June 14, we were contacted by Nikki Vulgaris, executive director of the Peoria Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. She informed us that she was cancelling our speaker for June 18 and wrote that the Peoria Chapter will not support efforts which are independent from the association,” Gonet said. The executive committee of the Illinois Valley Alzheimer’s Group recently discussed

future plans and wants to continue providing support for the community. All proceeds from the Boo Milby 5K Memory Run will stay in the area and will fund education and support programs locally. “Don’t get me wrong. I encourage people to use the 24 call-line and the other resources that the Peoria Chapter can offer,” Gonet said. “We’re just not affiliated with them. “It is important that people know that if they donate to IVAG, their donation will help local people, which is something the Peoria Chapter is either unwilling or unable to do,” said Klobucher. “We’re doing rather well since the break. We’ve got money coming in because it’ll stay in the Illinois Valley. We’ve got memorials coming in,” said Gonet. “After the race, we will be donating some money to research.” The support group meets the third Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. at the Red Cross building, 1530 Fourth Street, Peru. The Boo Milby 5K Memory Run/Walk is Aug. 17 at Northwest School in LaSalle. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

Board reviews projects, coaching positions By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Just one month into summer, the Princeton High School Board of Education is gearing up for the start of the new school year with personnel decisions and summer project updates. At Monday’s board meeting, Superintendent Kirk Haring said the Building and Grounds summer projects are progressing well and he’s optimistic all projects will be completed before the start of school. Rock removal has begun on the roof of the Prouty gymnasium, to be followed by roof work on the south gymnasium. Tuckpointing work continues to move forward. The interior summer cleaning and painting

work is also moving forward. He’s pleased with the work being done by the contractors and the school crews, the superintendent said. In other Building and Grounds updates, Haring said the district has learned it will receive a $50,000 school maintenance grant which will be used for the outdoor bleacher project at the football field/track. The board expects to go out for bids for that project in early 2014, with the project to be done next summer. Looking ahead to the 2013-14 school year, the board unanimously agreed to follow Haring’s recommended to keep all student fees the same as they were last year, except for consumable items like workbooks and other items which

the students retain after a course is completed. Breakfast, lunch, ala carte and adult prices will remain the same as the 2012-13 year. At its Monday meeting, the board also took action to hire fall head coaching staff as follows: Abby Cochran, poms; Emily Moats, cheer; Pat Hodge, cross country; Duane Price, boys golf; Will Gross, head girls golf or assistant; Andy Puck, volleyball; Jason Bird, boys soccer; Jesse Snyder, football; and Connie Lind, girls tennis. The board also hired the following assistant coaches: Joann Bowman, cross country; Eric Tinley, volleyball; Rod Jaggers, boys soccer; Steve Amy, Tim Ciesielski, Dan Foes, Rob Jensen and Randy Swinford, football; and Beth Peacock, girls tennis.

The board also approved the appointments of the following volunteer assistant coaching positions: David Gray and Wyatt Lind, boys soccer; and Garrett Youngren, football. The teaching positions are all filled for the coming year, Haring said Tuesday. In still other personnel action at Monday’s meeting, the board approved Haring’s recommendation to give non-certified staff a wage increase for the 2013-14 year averaging 3 percent. Haring expressed his appreciation for the non-certified staff and the work they do for the district. The board also accepted the resignation of science teacher Pam Byrne, effective June 2017.

PRINCETON — Disease-carrying mosquitoes aren’t the only animalrelated concern facing Illinois residents during the summer months. On Thursday, Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck released a statement urging Illinois residents to be aware of bats which have started to become more active, which means the possibility of exposure to rabies is also increasing. So far this year, the IDPH has already had eight bats test positive for rabies, Hasbrouck said. “Never try to approach or catch a bat, or any wild animal, you find outside. Bats and wild animals that let people approach them are often not healthy,” Hasbrouck. “Instead, call your local animal control agency for its recommendations on how to handle the animal.” On Monday, Bureau/ Putnam County Health Department’s Director of Health Protection Kurt Kuchle said bats are usually found in attics or in the soffit area around the roof of buildings. Bats do fly in open doors and windows. Most people who bring in bats for testing have found them in a bedroom or living area, Kuchle said. A bat found in the room of a sleeping child or any other person is considered an exposure and those bats are recommended to be tested, if they are caught, just to be sure the person was not exposed to a rabid bat, Kuchle said. Obviously, bites need to be tested, he said. “If you are bit or meet the definition of exposure and the bat is not caught, you have to take the treatment for rabies,” Kuchle said. “Rabies is still pretty much 100 percent fatal.” If persons think they might have bats around their house, they should walk around the house at dawn or dusk and see if they can spot bats leaving or entering through any unseen openings around the roof or any part of the house, Kuchle said. Those openings need to be repaired, he said. As far as detecting bats, Kuchle said bats fly singly or in groups and they flutter and like to swoop down on insects.

Their flight is usually at dusk and is unique and easy to spot, he said. As far as getting bats out of the house. Kuchle said people can usually open some doors and windows and the bats will eco-locate their way out of the house, though that can take awhile. It’s best to call animal control or law enforcement to take care of the situation, he said. Bats are endangered and there is white nose syndrome circulating which is killing a lot of bats, Kuchle said. Unfortunately, the health department does have to kill the bat when someone is bitten or meets the definition of being exposed, he said. According to IDPH director Hasbrouck, 63 bats tested positive for rabies in 2012 in Illinois, which is about 4 percent of all bats tested in 2012, which is average in Illinois. However, any wild mammal, such as raccoons, skunks, foxes, coyotes and bats, can have rabies and transmit it to humans, he said. An animal does not have to be aggressive or exhibit other symptoms to have rabies, Hasbrouck said. Changes in any animal’s normal behavior can be early signs of rabies. A bat that is active during the day, found on the ground or is unable to fly, is more likely than others to be rabid. Such bats are often easily approached, but should never be handled, he said. Kuchle agreed, saying the standard procedure for all wild animals is that people should always avoid them and call animal control or law enforcement. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

Young workers, meet Social Security By Mike Weitl Social Security Operations Supervisor in Peru

Rain-weary fields Bureau County farmland north of Mineral shows the results of heavy rains this week on already soggy fields. According to the Agricultural Summary from the Illinois Department of Agriculture, crop development has slowed in Illinois as rain once again has drenched the state, flooding out some fields. Fortunately, WQAD News Channel 8 meteorologist James Zahara has forecast a few fairly dry days ahead, with just a 20 to 40 percent of precipitation through early next week.

PES From Page 1 “This (closing Reagan) is the board’s motion. I think it’s more appropriate that it be a wellresearched superintendent’s motion,” O’Neil said. “This is a monumental decision. I’d like to bring in the superintendent’s team to bring us whatever objectively is a solution here, rather than for (the board) to say ‘this is our solution.’” O’Neil said he’s not wanting to “kick the can down the road,” but to make sure any decision is very well-researched and deliberately made, with other alternatives to cost savings considered. In her comments, board member Doris Hamilton said she needed more time before moving ahead with any decision to close Reagan, saying

she feels very uniformed to make such a decision. The whole thing is moving very fast, she said. When looking at the possible closing of Reagan, the investigation should also include how the decision would impact the PES staff and the children of the district, Hamilton said. There’s more to the decision than transportation costs. Her concerns about closing Reagan are not because she’s from Tiskilwa, but rather whether or not this is the best thing to

do. If it turns out that closing Reagan would be the best thing to do, then that motion would have her vote, she said. In making last month’s motion to put the Buildings Fund Reduction Plan on the agenda for a decision in July, board member Steve Bouslog said his goal was to keep the issue before the board. The more time the board has the needed information before it, the more time it has to discuss it. This will also give the public more time to come

to the board with any concerns and input, he said. In his comments, Smith said he and his administrative team could have the needed information collected and researched, along with financial data from the past several fiscal years, by early fall. The board then agreed to a September report date from Smith. The Building Fund Reduction Plan report will look at a lot of things, including how all the PES school buildings are being used, previous fiscal years and also at reviewing neighborhood sites versus grade sites, the superintendent said. “Obviously we have to make some changes,” Smith said. “How pressing is it? It’s pretty pressing.” Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

lage’s asphalt while plowing, it will be on the village to fix the pavement. DePue Village Attorney Jacob Frost confirmed that either party can back out of the agreement at any time given a 60-day notice under a reason or no reason basis.

The township will meet today, Thursday, to approve their end of the intergovernmental agreement. In other news, the board: • Approved to renew a three-year contract with Hap Industry at the

cost of $968 per year for Christmas decorations. • Approved to hire Starline Construction of Ladd to take down a house, haul it away, back fill and pay taxes to the property at 117 Lake St. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

Elmendorf brought up making changes to how the village doubles late fees for residents each month they do not pay a water bill. The village currently charges a $5 late fee on water bills. Each month the water bill is not paid, the late fee doubles. “If you can’t pay your original water bill, it’s

going to be difficult to come up with the $40 or $80 late fee,” she explained. Elmendorf suggested not getting rid of the late fee, but taking away doubling the late fee. Hewitt agreed with Elmendorf’s request, saying doubling the amount could really hurt someone who is struggling to keep up

with their bill. He suggested the village charge a flat $10 late fee and get rid of the doubling charge. The board will bring the idea to the full board to make a decision. The next board meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. July 9. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

“Obviously we have to make some changes. How pressing is it? It’s pretty pressing.” Tim Smith

Welcome to the workforce, new workers! Whether you’re beginning the career of a lifetime or just earning some extra money for the school year to come, there is one question that is likely to hit you when you see your first pay stub: “What is the FICA, and why is my paycheck less because of it?” Generally, employers are required to withhold Social Security and Medicare tax from a worker’s paycheck. Your employer matches the amounts you pay in Social Security and Medicare taxes. Usually the money we withhold is referred to as “Social Security taxes” on the employee’s payroll statement. Sometimes the deduction is labeled as “FICA taxes,” which stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act, and sometimes OASDI, or Old Age Survivor and Disability Insurance. Name aside, what’s important is how that money is being used, and what’s in it for you down the road. The taxes you pay now translate to a lifetime of protection, when you eventually retire or if you become disabled. If you die, your dependent children and spouse may be able to receive survivors’ benefits based on your work. Today you probably have family members — grandparents, for example — who already enjoy Social Security benefits that your Social Security taxes help provide. You may be a long way

from retirement now, so you may find it hard to appreciate the value of benefits that could be 40 or 50 years away. But consider that your Social Security taxes could pay off sooner than you think. Social Security provides valuable disability benefits — and studies show that a 20 year old has about a three in 10 chance of becoming disabled sometime before reaching retirement age. Don’t be tempted if you’re offered a job “under the table” or “off the books.” If you work for any employer who pays you cash, you’re likely not getting Social Security credit for the work you’re doing and potentially missing out on future benefits. Want to learn more about Social Security and what it means to young workers? If so, we invite you to enjoy an online video: Social Security 101: What’s In It For Me? The webcast will fill you in on the details you should know to get the most out of Social Security. Check it out at www.socialsecurity. gov/webinars/social_security_101.html. Here’s another tip: Open a my Social Security account so that you can access your Social Security statement. That will allow you to make sure your earnings are recorded properly each year — and you can get estimates of what your future benefits may be.

Handling the wrong turns of life Sometimes life takes us on strange journeys. A couple weeks ago, an elderly Kansas couple apparently got confused while driving on their eight-hour trip to Dwight, Ill. They didn’t exit when they should have, took a couple wrong turns and COMMENTARY ended up a couple days later in northern Michigan, at a town called Milo. I’m not sure whose idea it was, but they finally stopped to ask for directions. The Kansas couple had driven more than 400 miles past their destination. He was 92 years old, his wife was 81. Though the outcome could have been much different, with harm coming to the couple, they apparently came through their adventure just fine. Of course, they should have called their loved ones on that first night when they didn’t make it to Dwight. Of course, they should have called their loved ones that next morning before getting back into their car. Of course, they should have gone to the nearest police station to get some help. But still, they made the journey without any accidents and apparently none the worse for wear, other than for probably receiving a good scolding or two from loved ones. When I heard about the Kansas couple being found safe and apparently well, I was relieved and thankful they were OK. But then my thoughts turned to all the potential jokes at the couple’s expense, about the “not stopping for directions no matter how long this eight hour trip takes us” kind of jokes. But actually there’s something I have to admire about the couple. Even though there was so much wrong about the trip, they reached a safe destination, even if it was a different one than originally planned. Though I have never driven 400 miles out of my way, I have taken a wrong turn or two in my life. Some of those wrong turns have been literal. I have messed up on the Interstate 80/Interstate 74 intersection just east of the Quad Cities and have traveled toward Peoria instead of Princeton. When attending college in the state of Ohio, I traveled way further into Chicago than I should have because I didn’t follow the Interstate 80 road signs correctly. I have gotten lost on the streets and interstates in Salt Lake City. Just a couple weeks ago, my colleague Goldie Currie and I took a “scenic route” through Peoria on the way home from an Illinois Press Association luncheon in Springfield. But sometimes a wrong turn or two isn’t all that bad. I’ve seen country roads and barns and city streets and houses and people that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. I’ve become a more understanding driver, realizing other drivers may be just as turned around as me. But more importantly, my wrong turns have taught me the journey is about more than just a destination. The journey, even the wrong turns in life, are about developing perseverance when the going gets tough and confusing, about knowing when to ask for help, and about learning to be lighten up and laugh at my mistakes. As expected, some of those wrong turns in my life have not been the literal kind. But even from those wrong turns, I have learned. Whether literal or figurative, wrong turns happen to all of us sometimes, just like with the Kansas couple. It’s what we do with them that counts.

Considerations by Nedda It surely is summertime, and it is a great time to visit neighbors, go for a walk and/or look at repairs that need to be done around the house. For those of us who own our homes, we always need to keep up with things. For those who live in apartments, etc., it can give peace of mind to have a list of phone numbers for emergencies. It is hard for some to believe we can’t handle plumbing, carpentry chores and landscaping jobs anymore. But, with a few exceptions, it is not safe or wise for us to tackle most jobs. Your kids will be so glad I said this to you as well! Besides, it is great to sit in a lawn chair and watch. Ask your friends who they use for service jobs, and keep a list. It will make you feel safer. When it is time, call and have them come to give you estimate in writing. They should be pleasant, respect-

Nedda Simon COMMENTARY ful and offer the time frame when work will be done and if they have insurance. Use people in your own community, and check to make sure they have the required permits for your town or village. I have used out-of-town services, but local workmen recommended them. If you feel comfortable, check once more with a friend or family member and proceed. It is hard to admit we need help sometimes, but it is alright. Our loved ones don’t want us to get hurt or scammed. It is as simple as that. But it is hard to ask our kids for every little chore as well. If they wonder what is going on, explain it gives you some mastery

over your life to get professional help sometimes. They will see it in a new light, and it may also relieve them. This has been about repairs, but this can apply to asking for help in other areas. Be gracious when others take your arm, or help at the store, or suggest you need help in filling out forms etc. It is OK to ask. You have done your job helping others all your lives, and you know how good that feels. Let them return the favor. We need to be realistic about our aging process, and we should be gracious about it. I know, I know. But let’s face it, being pleasant and having a sense of humor goes a long way. Hope all is well — and through it all, don’t forget to be kind.

khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Just six miles apart on Route 6, Hall Red Devil Bret Fanning and neighboring St. Bede Bruin Brad Groleau come together once gain as the 2013 BCR Baseball Players of the year. They are the first duo to repeat as Player of the Year since the BCR first handed out that distinction in 1996. The only other Player of the Year repeats were Princeton’s Reid Clary (2009, 2010) and Tony McCombs (2004, 2005) and St. Bede’s Billy Terry (1999, 2000). Both are multi-talented, leading their teams both at the plate and on the mound. Groleau helped lead the Bruins to a regional championship; Fanning was the leading charge to the Red Devils’ 18-6 record. Fanning on Groleau: “Brad is a great hitter and a tough competitor. I know he puts just as much work into the game as I do. I learned no matter how hard you throw, you can’t give him a fastball, because he’ll catch up to it and drill it.” Groleau on Fanning: “I always enjoy playing against the best and he was one of the best pitchers in the area. he has always been a great competitor and really understands the game of baseball.”

Ace in the hole Fanning was dominant on the mound in 47.3 innings pitched, striking out an areahigh 84 batters while walking only 15. “That’s not a bad ratio,” Hall coach Tom Keegan said. With a 7-2 record, Fanning’s wins were topped in the area only by St. Bede’s Damin Smith (8-1). He also posted a 1.92 ERA, tarnished by a tough early-season outing against Ottawa Marquette. He gave up only seven earned

At the plate, is where Fanning really raised his game this year. He batted .430, raising his average 84 points from last year. He was determined not to let that happen again, making a daily routine of early-season batting practice with his friend and former Red Devil Phil Scott. “We were up there hitting two hours, two and half hours, just hitting and shagging the balls and going up there again. We kept going back and forth really getting my work in,” Fanning said. The Hall senior also led the Red Devils in hits (34), runs scored (26), RBIs (28), doubles (9), stolen bases (11) and home runs (2). “Bret led us in several offensive categories and was our number one in our pitching rotation. When he wasn’t pitching for us, he played a very steady shortstop. He will be hard to replace,” Keegan said. Fanning was disappointed the Red Devils (18-6) didn’t get a chance to break the

OGLESBY — In a perfect world, Pat Cinotte, would continue to strive to bring a national championship to Illinois Valley Community College. He directed the IVCC women’s basketball team to National Tournament appearances, compilPat ing a 103Cinotte 29 record in two seasons with one Arrowhead Conference championship. However, he will leave that national title run to the next coach. Cinotte told the BCR Monday night he had submitted his resignation for a lot of reasons. He cited a planned reduction in tuition waivers for athletics, last week’s board approval of a freeze on head coaching salaries and the reduction in assistant coaches pay to $2,500 per sport. Cinotte said at the end of February a tuition waiver freeze was issued and he was asked to provide a list of the current student-athletes he was recruiting. At that time, he said he was unable to add to the list even as the original ones elected to go elsewhere. “If a coach called and said he had an All-American who wanted to play at IVCC, I couldn’t take them. I couldn’t add anyone. It really hurt my recruiting,” Cinotte said, adding his allotted tuition waivers has been dropped

What’s in a name - 1,500 feet I was watching the Discovery Channel Sunday night and made an amazing discovery. My last name may be long and hard to pronounce, but it sure beats being a Wallenda. If I was a Wallenda, I would be expected to walk across a two-inch cable, 1,500 feet above the ground with no harness, no safety net, no nothing.

Kevin Hieronymus HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS

That’s what Wallendas do, dare-devil Nik Wallenda said talking the talk before walking the walk across the Grand Canyon Sunday night flirting with death.

His wife said she’d be more nervous if Nik was doing something more dangerous. Something more dangerous? Walking across the grand canyon on a two-inch cable with gusting winds doesn’t classify as dangerous? This family must toss hand grenades instead of bags. Hieronymus is looking a whole lot better these days. You know we’re no high flyers if you’ve seen my speed on the

base paths, but that’s OK. It’s safe to be better grounded. I got a kick how Yahoo! corrected that Wallenda didn’t actually walk across the Grand Canyon, but rather the Little Colorado River Gorge belonging to the Navajo. I’m sorry, but any canyon 1,500 feet high is grand, doesn’t matter if it’s officially apart of the National Park. Fifteen hundred feet is 1,500 feet.

Seniors with class: While we’re putting the final touches on the 2012-13 school year with all of the All-BCR team features that we originated years ago, I’d like to reflect for a moment about the class of 2013. I have found this year’s senior class to be outstanding, not only on the field, but more importantly off it. There are

Kloepping scores record elk When two good friends are hunting together in a duck blind, what do they talk about? Answer, everything. I have spent enough years in a duck blind that I know that hunters usually have plenty of time to talk about everything. So it was with two great hunting buddies, Brett Kloepping and Brook Stanbury. Their down time in the duck blind brought about many topics and finally it landed on the subject of an elk hunt. That was about three years ago and it developed into reality last fall. In early September, Brett and Brook left Bureau County and headed for Colorado to Unit 19, which is north of Rocky Mountain National Park. They had made arrangements through a Colorado outfitter and were on their way to make this dream a reality. At Fort Collins, they packed their necessary items on horseback. After about a four and a half hour trip, they arrived at their base camp. This is where they would call home for the next 7-10 days. The outfitter would return to get them in 10 days unless they called in an emergency on the radio phones. The first afternoon, they basically walked around getting their bearings. The next morning, they started with a little more serious attitude, but by noon, they hadn’t seen any. That evening, Brook had a shot at a bull and scored a hit. But try as they would, they couldn’t find the elk. They followed the blood trail for several hours into the dark. Finally, about 1 a.m., they called it quits and went back to camp. Due to the late hour tracking, the next day of hunting didn’t start until

late morning. Brett and Brook hunted most of the afternoon seeing nothing. Then shortly after 5 p.m., they separated about a quarter mile to sit and wait in a good hiding place. Shortly after 7 p.m., Brett witnessed a cow and two calves walking up the hill toward him. When she got about 30 yards from him, she stopped. A short distance behind them was a bull. The calves bumped into the cow causing her to move forward. Then the bull walked into the same spot and stopped. Brett’s heart was in his throat but he was ready. He released the arrow and it found its mark. The bull turned 180 degrees and ran about 30 feet near some bushes and fell over. Brett called Brook and soon they were together ready to find the bull. Brett had seen him fall and it had been a half hour, so they went after him. Sure enough, there he was. He was huge. Now reality began to set in and Brett was shaking all over. He knew it was big, but NOT that big. His buddy Brook shared his enthusiasm. Then they began to field dress the bull. They quartered it, caped it and got it ready to travel in the morning. They headed back to camp and called the outfitter who would bring pack horses the next morning to cart it out. Brett and Brook stayed 4-5 more days. Then it was back to Fort Collins.

Brett Kloepping stands by his big bull elk he bagged while hunting with his crossbow in Colorado. Outfitters told Kloepping this was the largest elk taken by bow in Unit 19, scoring 353 Pope and Young points The outfitters at Fort Collins told Brett that this was the largest elk taken by bow in Unit 19. By Pope and Young standards, it scored a whopping 353 points. The butcher who processed the rest of the meat said he thought the bull would have been 1,000 pounds on the hoof. Matter of fact, the outfitter told Brett that this elk beat those taken by rifles in their unit. A lot didn’t sink in right away, but the modest Brett Kloepping was thrilled. “The fact that my long time friend and hunting partner got to share it with me. That’s what made it special,” he said.

Cinotte

From Page 9 from 12 to nine. In a press release, IVCC President Jerry Corcoran thanked Cinotte for maintaining “a highly successful program that produced dozens of outstanding student-athletes.” Corcoran said IVCC’s business actions were a sign of the times. “In the face of continuing budgetary challenges, we continue to look at areas to reduce costs. Tuition waivers directly affect our operating budget,” said Corcoran. “The recommendation to freeze head coaches’ salaries and reduce assistant coaches’ pay came from the athletic department.” As the budget has tightened, no area in the college has been exempt, Corcoran said. Going into fiscal 2013, nine full-time vacancies were not filled and five full-time positions will be reduced to part-time in fiscal 2014. Corcoran said another factor forcing difficult decisions for many of the college’s departments – including athletics – is implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Due to ACA regulations, IVCC has limited part-time employees to 29 hours per week. Cinotte, who led their Lady Eagles to national tournament appearances in 2010 and 2011, said it was his goal when he came to IVCC to play for a National championship. He doesn’t see that happening now. “When you put 110 percent into your job, it’s

They have always been respectful during interviews and talking to them in general. Moms and dads you should be proud. That’s the best part of my job, getting to know these kids. Best of luck to you in all your future endeavours. Blackhawk up: Congrats to all you Blackhawk fans. What a finish! I’ll have to say hockey was not on my TV growing up in Atlanta, Ill. It was Cardinals baseball (of course), the NBC game of the Week, and I

disappointing you don’t get the support,” he said. Another part of Cinotte’s decision comes to the future conference home for IVCC athletics. He said he was told by school officials they were considering leaving the Arrowhead Conference to play independently. IVCC’s Fran Brolley told the BCR IVCC is committed to the Arrowhead this year and currently has no plans to depart the next. Cinotte was hired in May, 2009, following the death of 10-year women’s coach Steve Crick. In four years at Hall High School, Cinotte coached the girls team to an 87-32 record, an Elite Eight state tournament appearance and three regional championships. Over his 18-year coaching career, Cinotte was a volunteer IVCC men’s basketball assistant to Gerry Thornton (19951997), a paid assistant to Thornton’s successor Mike Riley (1998-2001) and head boys coach at DePue High School (2001-2004). “I am confident the next women’s coach will continue the commitment to excellence established by Steve Crick and Pat Cinotte,” said Corcoran. “Although I am proud of the women’s basketball record for wins and losses, what is most gratifying to me is the academic success our student athletes have achieved.” The Lady Eagles staff also took a blow with the resignation of assistant coach Rex Shanyfelt on the heels of his salary cut. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com must admit some WGN Cubs baseball, NFL and basketball. Never gave any thought to hockey really. But after watching the Hawks take two of Lord Stanley’s Cups in the past four years, and as exciting as Sunday’s came, I’m starting to like this game of hockey. • Condolences: In closing, I’d like to offer condolences to former PHS coach Randy Swinford (Max) and L-P coach Marty Makransky (Tom) for the recent passing of their fathers. Max Swinford was a longtime coach and industrial arts teacher at Elgin. Sound familiar? What a legacy he passed down to Randy. Kevin Hieronymus is the BCR Sports Editor.

Thursday, June 27, 2013 • Sports • 11 Fanning on Groleau: “Brad is a great hitter and a tough competitor. I know he puts just as much work into the game as I do. I learned no matter how hard you throw, you can’t give him a fastball, because he’ll catch up to it and drill it.”

Players From Page 9 school record for wins set last year (22), having so many games rained out. He also was disappointed how their season ended prematurely with an 8-1 regional semifinal loss to Ottawa Marquette. Fanning capped his Hall career with unanimous 1st team selection in the Tri-County Conference. He is playing this summer with the Illinois Bobcats 19U team before departing this fall to play for the Peacocks of Div. II Upper Iowa University in Fayette, Iowa where he will focus solely on pitching.

A big hit Brad Groleau’s first love in baseball was pitching. He was an overpowering pitcher, a lefthander at that, which made him all the more difficult to hit for youth batters. And while he maintained his pitching prowess over the years, hitting the horsehide became his passion. “Definitely in Little League, I think pitching was my favorite because I started all the time. Now as I get older, I love playing the field and hitting the ball,” he said.

Groleau on Fanning: “I always enjoy playing against the best and he was one of the bestpitchers in the area. he has always been a great competitor and really understands the game of baseball.”

The sweet-swinging lefty has flirted with the .500 mark the past two seasons, hitting .485 his junior season and then .465 this season as a senior, tailing ever so slightly at the end of the year. He was always a tough out in the No. 3 hole, one such that the Beecker coach unintentionally, intentionally walking him with the sectional semifinal contest on the line. His batting average was second to teammate Brandon Pietrowski’s .478 among area batsmen, both collecting 33 hits, topped only by Fanning’s 34. Groleau also led the Bruins with 34 runs scored and drove in 22 runs, second to teammate Logan Bima’s 29. “I love hitting in that 3 hole, just trying to carry the team as much as I can and get a bunch of guys on and try to get them as best as I can,” Groleau said. Groleau relished the Bruins’ regional championship, capping his Academy career in style. “We couldn’t get it in basketball and it was our last shot. We had nine of our plays were seniors so it was good to get that regional, definitely,” he said. “It was great to be on such a winning team.” Groleau will undergo the knife in July after

Zum Alten Kautz reopens PRINCETON — Now in its third year, Lara and Jay Schneider recently reopened their seasonal German brat stand, named Zum Alten Kautz (Ye Olde Owl). After living in Princeton for five years, Jay, a native German, started to miss some of the specialties of his home country. A lot of brats were tried and then a decision was made. “We are trying to be as authentic as possible,” said Kautz. ”That is why we get all our meat from a

German butcher in Madison, Wis.” Besides a selection of brats with or without sauerkraut, there are also lesser known specialties like Currywurst, Leberkaese and Rote Gruetze. The grill will be open every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. next to the Apollo Theater in downtown Princeton and for special events. “We tried to be open BCR photo/Lyle Ganther three days a week the first year, but that was Jay and Lara Schneider stand in their seasonal German brat stand called Zum Alten Kautz located next to too much for us,” he said. the Apollo Theater.

Your hometown beat 2013 hurricane season began June 1 The north Atlantic hurricane season began June 1 and lasts through Nov. 30. The U.S. Census Bureau produces timely local statistics that are critical to emergency planning, preparedness and recovery efforts. These statistics highlight the number of people living in areas that could be most affected by these dramatic acts of nature. • 10 — The number of hurricanes during the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, with only two of them as major hurricanes (Category 3-strength or higher). However, one of the major hurricanes was Hurricane Sandy. It struck southeastern Cuba at Category 3 strength, then made landfall in New Jersey as a post-tropical cyclone. It was the second costliest cyclone on record (not adjusted for inflation) at $50 billion, ranking only behind Hurricane Katrina from 2005. The only other hurricane to make landfall in the United States in 2012 was Hurricane Isaac, which hit Louisiana. • 82.2 million — Population as of July 1, 2012, of coastal states stretching from North Carolina to Texas — the areas most threatened by Atlantic hurricanes. An estimated 26.2 percent of the nation’s population live in these states.

• 34.1 million — Population in 1960 of the states stretching from North Carolina to Texas. About 19 percent of the nation’s population lived in these areas at that time. • 240.9 percent — Percentage growth of the population of the states stretching from North Carolina to Texas between 1960 and 2012. • 591,821 — Collective land area in square miles of the states stretching from North Carolina to Texas. • Andrea — The name of the first Atlantic storm of 2013. Hurricane names rotate in a six-year cycle with the 2013 list being a repeat of the 2007 names. • 76 — The number of hurricane names officially retired by the World Meteorological Organization. Although hurricane names are recycled every six years, for reasons of sensitivity, hurricane names that were so deadly and costly that re-use of the name would be considered inappropriate are retired. • 1950 — The year the Weather Bureau officially began naming hurricanes. • 2005 — In one of the busiest Atlantic hurricane seasons on record, 28 named storms formed,

forcing use of the alternate Greek alphabet scheme for the first time. When the National Hurricane Center’s list of 21 approved names runs out for the year, hurricanes are named after Greek letters. Of the 28 named storms in 2005, 15 were hurricanes, with four storms reaching Category 5 status (Dennis, Katrina, Rita and Wilma) and three more being considered major. • 2003 — The costliest and deadliest hurricane of 2003, Hurricane Isabel made landfall in the U.S. on the Outer Banks of North Carolina on Sept. 18, destroying many homes on the barrier island. Isabel later moved north through Virginia and Washington, D.C., and ended up causing about $3 billion in damage to the mid-Atlantic region. • Category 2 — The strength of Hurricane Isabel at landfall based on the Saffir-Simpson scale, with maximum sustained winds measured at 105 mph. Isabel reached a peak as a Category 5 storm on Sept. 11 south of Bermuda, but gradually weakened as it approached landfall. • 3 — Counties that encompass the land area of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The area includes parts of Currituck, Dare and Hyde counties.

Lightning Safety Awareness Week June 23-29 SPRINGFIELD — Summer is here and it seems everyone is spending more time outdoors enjoying warm-weather activities. Officials with the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and the National Weather Service (NWS) want you to remember, “When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors,” so your fun times won’t end in tragedy. The slogan is an important reminder that if you can hear thunder you’re close enough to be struck by lightning, even if the thunderstorm isn’t directly overhead. The two agencies will be promoting this theme as part of national Lightning Safety Awareness Week June 23-29. “Lightning can be fascinating to watch but it can also be deadly,” said IEMA Director Jonathon Monken. “While a thunderstorm may disrupt our outdoor fun, there’s really no safe place outside when lightning is in the area. We urge people to play it safe and go indoors when thunder roars.” According to the NWS, each year more than 50 people are killed and more than 1,000 people are injured by lightning in the United States. A majority of victims were either outdoors in an open area or taking part in an activity near the water such as fishing, boating or

swimming. To date in 2013, the NWS reports seven lightning-related deaths, including two in Illinois. “Lightning remains one of the top three storm-related killers in the United States and injures many more people than it kills,” said Lyle Barker, science and operations officer for the NWS Lincoln Office. “The best way to lower your risk when outdoors is to have a lightning safety strategy that includes a way to stay aware of developing weather conditions and a plan to take shelter nearby if a storm comes up quickly.” While less than 10 percent of people who are struck by lightning are killed, many lightning strike survivors suffer various degrees of disability. Only a few lightning strike victims actually suffer burns, and these are usually minor. However, many lightning strike survivors are left with debilitating life-long effects, including memory loss, personality changes, fatigue, irreparable nerve damage, chronic pain and/or headaches, difficulty sleeping and dizziness. IEMA and the NWS offer the following tips for staying safe when thunderstorms approach: Outdoor lightning safety tips: No place outside is safe when thunderstorms are in the area.

If you hear thunder, lightning is close enough to strike you. When you hear thunder, immediately move to a safe shelter. Safe shelter is a substantial building or inside an enclosed, hard-topped vehicle. Stay in the safe shelter at least 30 minutes after you hear the last clap of thunder. If there is no safe shelter anywhere nearby: Seek lower elevation areas. Never use a tree for shelter. Immediately get out and away from pools, lakes and other bodies of water. Stay away from all metallic objects (fences, power lines, poles, etc.). Do not raise umbrellas or golf clubs above you. People shouldn’t hesitate to help someone who has been struck by lightning since victims do not carry an electrical charge. The surge of electricity through a lightning victim’s body causes cardiac arrest in most fatalities, so immediate medical attention is critical. If the victim doesn’t have a pulse and isn’t breathing, CPR should be administered immediately. For additional tips on lightning safety visit the Ready Illinois website at www.Ready.Illinois.gov or contact IEMA at 217-785-9925.

Great grilling tips to make New tips for disaster summer meals sizzle preparedness at home

(StatePoint) Now that warmer weather and summer are upon us, grilling season is here again and families are taking meals outside to enjoy the sunshine. While a traditional barbeque is always great, Americans are increasingly adding unique twists to their summer grilling routines. Here are some tips to get creative on your grill with some fresh ideas: Set a theme If you’re throwing a barbeque, one way to get guests excited is to pick a theme. Great themes should be fun and easy to follow, such as a Hawaiian luau, southern hoedown, or summer beach party. Make food fit the theme and encourage guests to wear themed clothes. Grill more than meat Burgers, hot dogs and steaks are staples at most cookouts, but the best barbeques don’t limit themselves to just this standard fare. Expand the options and consider adding unique items such as grilled pizza and breads to the menu. Next time you’re deciding on dinner, try grilling a pizza, which is an easy option that the whole family, including kids, will enjoy. Start with fresh pizza dough, such as Pillsbury Refrigerated Pizza Crust. Roll it out, grill for a golden crisp crust, and top it just the way you want it. Opt for a classic choice like mozzarella and tomatoes, or get inno-

vative with a taco pizza or a BBQ chicken pizza. It’s faster than takeout, done your way and doesn’t leave a mess to clean up. If you are serving traditional BBQ, go beyond boring buns and try something unique, such as grilling biscuits for your burgers, chicken and hot dogs. For sides, grill fruit to accompany the main course. Pineapples, plums and peaches are delectable when grilled. The natural sugars caramelize with heat. And these fruits are low in calories and loaded with vitamins and minerals. Shake up dessert Ice cream and frozen yogurt immediately come to mind for barbeques, but did you know you can grill your dessert? Try grilling a pie at your next get-together. Grilled pie can be the perfect finale to a successful barbeque. All you need is a pie crust, such as Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust, and the filling you like. To make

an easy grilled strawberry pie, follow this recipe: Grilled Strawberry Pie • Heat grill to around 400°. • Mix strawberries, sugar and cornstarch; set aside. • Unroll pie crust. Place in ungreased pie pan. With back of spoon, spread one-fourth cup strawberry preserves evenly on crust. Spoon strawberry mixture on top. Slightly fold crust over filling. • Place second pie pan upside down on grill to make elevated surface. Place pan with pie on top so it is elevated off grill. Cover grill. • Cook 20 to 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Remove from grill; cool 10 minutes before serving. Your guests will be awed by this original dessert. With some new ideas and creativity, your barbeques will never be the same.

(StatePoint) No one likes to think about worst case scenarios, but being prepared for them is crucial to quickly recover in the event they occur. But there’s good news — new technologies and tools are making it easier to protect yourself and your loved ones from all kinds of emergency situations. Your home When is the last time you replaced your home’s windows? New stronger materials — including impact-resistant glass and laminated glass — are now available, that are specifically designed to handle storms, hurricanes and other extreme weather scenarios. Think about the kind of weather that threatens your home and consider better protecting it with upgraded windows. While there’s an upfront cost associated with these replacements, you could potentially save big on repairs down

ice treats in your team’s colors. Post-game fun You win some; you lose some – but it’s how you play the game that matters! Teach your kids that giving it your all is what counts most. Keep spirits high by making fun post-game plans for the entire team. Celebrate a game well done by taking the players out for a pizza party, a barbeque in the park or a trip to the pool. Keeping uniforms clean Whether you’re playing a team sport, or just hav-

ing fun in the yard, summer means lots of sliding into home plate and mounds of dirty uniforms. Use a trusted laundry detergent that will lift out tough grass and mud stains. Detergents now combine in-wash pre-treaters with active stainlifters to attack many tough stains, so little athletes can get as messy as they want. With some preparation and an eye on fun, you can have all your bases covered for a healthy, happy summer sports season.

Your pets In the chaos of an emergency, your dog or cat is more likely to lose his or her collar and identification tag. Should you become separated, you can greatly increase your chances of a reunion by having a microchip implanted and registering your pet with a microchip company. Microchips, which are recommended by the Humane Society as extra protection, can be implanted safely by a veterinarian. These days, disaster preparedness is about more than having a radio, batteries and a flashlight. Ensure your disaster plan includes 21st century solutions.

What parents need to know for the summer sports season (StatePoint) The summer sports season is here for kids across the country. As a parent, you can help make it a successful and fun one. Safety first Scrapes and bruises come with the territory, so don’t sweat it when these minor injuries occur. Keep a first aid kit on hand to clean and cover nicks and cuts when they happen. It’s hot out there and your kids are playing hard, so cool them down with flair. Boost team pride by doling out frozen

the line. Your data One area of disaster preparedness you may not have given much consideration to is data protection. The Federal Emergency Management Agency states that 40 to 60 percent of businesses who experience a data disaster never recover. From your financial information to your children’s baby photos, don’t let that same type of devastating data loss happen to your family or business. Cloud backup should be a key component in your disaster preparedness plan, according to experts. “In the event you experience data loss from fire, natural disaster or even theft, you can recover your data quickly and easily from the cloud,” says Piyum Samaraweera, senior director of product management at Carbonite, a provider of automatic online backup. “Think of
