Wanted: Bureau County input Public meetings set throughout the county

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Bureau County residents are invited to put in their two cents on a future development discussion for the county.

The Bureau County Regional Planning Commission has set up four public meetings throughout the county to get input from residents on issues and ideas concerning the future of Bureau County.

That input will be incor-

porated into an updated comprehensive plan for the county.

As announced in a press release from Bureau County Zoning Enforcement Officer Kris Donarski, the purpose of these public meetings is to “engage the

citizens of Bureau County in public dialogue, identify values of Bureau County residents, identify and create a vision of the future for Bureau County, and identify Bureau County issues and opportunities.”

The public hearings are set for 7 p.m. March 24 at the Bureau Valley Admin-

istrative Office in Manlius; at 7 p.m. March 25 at the LaMoille Lions Club; at 7 p.m. April 1 at Buda Community Hall; and at 7 p.m.

April 2 at the Bureau County Courthouse in Princeton.

On Monday, Donarski said the county’s existing comprehensive plan was

completed in the 1960s and needs to be updated.

Citizen participation is very important to the comprehensive planning process and will help the planning commission in defining goals and objectives to help shape the county’s future.

Business scam!

International business directory is a scam

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON – Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson said he’s not surprised to hear about a recent business scam in nearby Lee County.

As reported in the Sauk Valley News newspaper, the Lee County Sheriff’s Department has released a statement warning businesses of a scam involving an international business directory.

In that scam, people are calling businesses, churches and nonprofit groups, claiming to be a directory company verifying addresses by phone or fax to confirm existing phone book listings, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Department.

Once the businesses verify the information, the company signs them up for services and sends several invoices demanding payment or threatening legal action. The directories are never distributed or promoted as promised, but are simply websites with various business listings, the Lee County Sheriff’s Department reported.

Thompson said he’s not had any local reports of this scam happening to Bureau County businesses or groups, but still this is just another example of the varied types of scams which are out there.

There’s still time to cast an early ballot

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — With the March 18 primary election just one week away, registered Bureau County voters still have the opportunity to cast early or absentee ballots if they aren’t able to get to the polls next week.

On Monday, Bureau County Clerk Kami Hieronymus said the numbers of early voters and absentee ballots are down a bit, so far, from in previous election years.

However that last week before an election typically does bring in an increase in the number of early voters and absentee ballots.

As of Monday, 128 registered Bureau County voters had cast early ballots this year and another 61 absentee ballots have been received in her office, Hieronymus said. Bureau County voters still have this week to cast early ballots during regular business hours through Friday and also from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday in her office, located within the Bureau County

Courthouse in Princeton. Any absentee ballot must be postmarked by Monday, the day before the primary election, to be counted, she said.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, voters may also cast early ballots at Spring Valley City Hall, located at 215 N. Greenwood St. in Spring Valley.

The Spring Valley City Hall voting polls will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Friday for early voting.

CHERRY — Efforts are underway to restore a historic Cherry home to its original charm and glory.

Former Cherry resident Jack Rooney, now of Springfield, is leading the efforts to restore the former home of Cherry Mine Disaster hero Walter Waite, who helped in the Cherry Mine Disaster rescue efforts in November 1909. Waite and fellow mine manager George Eddy were awarded the nationally-recognized Carnegie Medal for their heroic efforts in leading a group of 20 men from within the Cherry mines where they had been trapped for eight days after an explosion in November 1909.

Rooney, current owner of the Walter Waite house, has retained Fever River Research of Springfield as consultants in the process of restoring and preserving the historic house. Fever River Research has completed its detailed analysis and recommendations report, which is the first step in attempting to have the house listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Rooney said.

Springfield architect Dave Leonetti is completing the formal detailed design diagrams. Leonetti is especially interested in the project, since his grandfather was a miner in the Dalzell and Spring Valley area, and he still has cousins living in the area, Rooney said.

Among projects need-

!

ed at the Walter Waite home are a new western porch, new roof, walls restored to original positions, window improvements, air/heat updates and acquiring period furnishings, etc. Hopefully, the house will be fully restored and lit up for the holidays at the end of the year, Rooney said.

Looking ahead to the future use of the Walter Waite house, Rooney said he has a vision that sees the house being very “flexible” and “multipurpose’ in nature.

“We envision it being a place for historical tours and presentations, where children will see what it is like to use a coal stove, bring in water from the well, know where an ‘outhouse’ is located,” Rooney said.

“At the same time, it would be great to see groups hold small meeting, dinners, parties and retreats there.”

Also, it would be nice to use the Walter Waite house in any way possible to further the efforts of the recently-organized John the Barber Foundation, which he started as a not-for-profit foundation to promote Christian, community outreaches for Cherry, Rooney said.

“We will do any little thing we can with the house to assist the needy, reach out to strangers, and forgive while encouraging others through example to do the same,” Rooney said.

As far as financial needs to restore the Waite home, Rooney said he is funding the project himself, but other individuals or enti-

The financial plan for the project is evolving as the project evolves, he said.

“That is why we want to keep things as flexible and nimble as possible,” Rooney said. “We won’t know what will work and what won’t work, especially over time. Changes may need to be made to keep things fresh. This was definitely a decision of the heart, not the ‘brain.”

In time, a certain amount of money could come in through using the Waite house as some type of bed-andbreakfast use or through renting it to groups, but likely funds for the upkeep of the house will need to come from visitor donations and possible grants, Rooney said. When completed, he will donate the finished home to the John the Barber Foundation, so it would be easier for people to make donations to it, he said.

What is the ‘John the Barber Foundation?’

• The “John the Barber Foundation” is named after the late John Stenstrom, a business man, speculator and minister in the earliest days of Cherry.

• Stenstrom bought several Main Street lots and built a double-wide, one story building on two of those lots. On the north side, he ran a combination barbershop/bar. He rented the south side space to a Catholic Italian grocer named Dominic Formento.

• On Nov. 13, 1909, Formento was killed while volunteering on the “heroes cage” during the Cherry Mine Disaster recovery efforts.

Stenstrom fed the widows and orphans for many days following the mine disaster.

• Stenstrom also donated his Main Street lots where the Congregational church was built and still stands. In 1919, when the Cherry Catholic Church burned, he also donated lots for that new church, where it still stands.

• Stenstrom lived his entire life in Cherry and was loving referred to as “John the Barber.”

• The John The Barber Foundation is a notfor-profit entity started by Jack Rooney to promote embracing daily Christ-like activities including assisting the needy, reaching out strangers and forgiveness.

• As stated in the foundation’s brochure, the John the Barber Foundation is a Christianbased organization “with one primary, lofty goal: to proactively strive to ensure that the ‘Ravioli Alley’ area from Arlington, south through Cherry, Ladd, Dalzell, Seatonville/ Hollowayville and into Spring Valley continues to be a great place to live and raise a family.”

You are welcome at Sheffield’s Open Table Ballot

SHEFFIELD — Hungry for a home-cooked meal? Want to spend your Sunday night chatting with neighbors and friends?

Then Sheffield’s Open Table Community Meal is the place to be.

For the past few months, the ladies of the Sheffield United Methodist Church have orchestrated their monthly Open Table event, which is open to the public.

“We want to have anyone in the community come,” said Beverly Barton, who was busy cutting cakes Sunday night at the most recent Open Table meal. “It doesn’t matter if you have money or not.

There’s no collection ever taken.”

While the Methodist church in Sheffield started the event, the other two churches in town — United Church of Christ and St. Patrick’s Catholic Church — have chipped in with food and lady-power.

Barton said the Sheffield event, which welcomes anyone in the Sheffield area, was ini-

The hearings are expected to cover a wide variety of topics, including things like the use and preservation of natural resources within the county, housing issues, economic development, population issues and roads. The idea is to look at the strengths and

The event is similar to the one held on a weekly basis in Princeton at the First United Methodist Church.

Barton said the event has grown since it first began. On Sunday, she estimated about 60 people enjoyed a pasta

bar, salad, garlic bread and plenty of homemade desserts. Other favorite items on the menu in past months have included barbecue, soup/sandwiches and more.

But it’s not just about the food. Barton said the fellowship enjoyed at the Open Table is just as

important.

“Anyone is invited. Fellowship is just as important as the meal,” she said.

“A lot of people are lonely and just need someone to visit with.”

The next Open Table in Sheffield is set for April 13.

weaknesses of the county and how to address those strengths and weaknesses for the future, she said.

Depending upon the extent of input from these public hearings, the updated comprehensive plan could be completed within the next six months. The updated plan will be submitted to the Bureau County Board for final approval.

Once completed and approved, the comprehensive plan will be used as a blueprint and guide for future growth and

development within the county. In time, Donarski hopes to have the updated comprehensive plan placed on the county’s website.

Serving on the Bureau County Regional Planning Commission are chairman Karen Schlenz of Spring Valley, Pat Wiggim of rural Wyanet, Joe Kunkel of rural Tiskilwa, Jon Pickering of Neponset, Jack Ackerman of Walnut, Sue Pratt of Arlington and Deb Madsen of Princeton.

The Bureau County Regional Planning Com-

mission represents areas from throughout the county, Donarski said.

Looking ahead to next week’s primary, Hieronymus said she would expect voter turnout to be in the range of 22 percent of the county’s approximate 24,000 registered voters. Two years ago, there was a 24 percent voter turnout in the primary with a 17 percent voter turnout four years ago.

Looking at reasons for a low voter turnout at primary elections, Hieronymus said a lot of people have said they do not want to declare a political party, and therefore they don’t vote in primaries. Also, in next week’s primary, there aren’t a lot of contested races on the Democratic Party side, which may mean those voters may not go to the polls, she said.

Bureau County does have two county-wide contested races, but they are both on the Republican Party side, Hieronymus said. Allan Beaber, William Rosenow, Alexander Arauza and James Shipp are

There are also referendum questions on the ballot for voters in the city of Spring Valley, the village of Arlington, and the Tiskilwa Rural Fire Protection District, all dealing with proposed taxes. Also, voters in the Cherry Grade School District will vote on a referendum to deactivate the school district and send its students to Dimmick Community Consolidated School District.

Those referendums are binding and are determined by a simple majority vote, Hieronymus said. Registered voters who want to vote on only their particular referendum question may request a non-partisan ballot. She would expect larger voter turnout in those areas with referendums.

Heroin arrest in Illinois Valley area PERU — The investigation into drug activity in the Illinois Valley area has led to the arrest of Jason D. Anderson, 24, of LaSalle.

On Friday, Peru Police Chief Doug Bernabei announced the arrest of Anderson following an ongoing investigation by Peru Police SIU detectives specifically into the delivery and possession of heroin in the Illinois Valley area. Sales of suspected heroin took place during undercover police operations, Bernabei said.

Bernabei categorized this arrest as “another arrest that is part of the continuing effort by Peru drug detectives relating to the distribution and possession of heroin here in the Peru area.”

Anderson was arrested

by Peru Police SIU detectives at 5:45 p.m. Thursday at his home in LaSalle. The detectives were assisted in the arrest by LaSalle Police detectives.

Bernabei said Anderson was taken into custody on a sealed LaSalle County arrest warrant for the Class 2 felony

of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, heroin. Bond was set at $500,000 with 10 percent to apply. Anderson was taken to the Peru Police Department for processing and was to be taken later Thursday evening to the LaSalle County Jail.

Bernabei said Anderson was expected to make his first court appearance on Friday.

As background to the case, Bernabei said Anderson has been a subject of the continuing investigation by Peru SIU narcotics detectives into

heroin distribution in the Peru area.

“The mandate given to our drug officers is to make the distribution of heroin an absolute enforcement priority of our drug unit. Anderson is yet another individual who joins a group of many other people who have been arrested by Peru drug detectives involving the distribution of heroin in the Peru area,” Bernabei said. “Our drug unit has been directed to continue these efforts, and I expect more arrests to follow.”

Perry Memorial Hospital’s Ambulatory Care Unit offers a wide variety of services including a 5 panel, 10 panel and quick test urine drug screen, nicotine testing and breath alcohol testing for businesses, schools and individuals. The drug screens and breath alcohol collectors are DOT certified.

Better Business Bureau issues utilities scam warning CHICAGO — On the heels of the bitter cold temperatures that have hit Chicago and Northern Illinois, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) is issuing a warning on scam artists that are targeting individual consumers and businesses with the false claim that their utility bills are delinquent and their service is in danger of being disconnected.

The BBB has received calls from concerned consumers and businesses who state they have received calls from individuals claiming to be from either ComEd or Nicor making demands that they immediately make payment on their alleged delinquent accounts.

Whether the payment demand is purportedly for ComEd or Nicor, the

callers ask that the consumers purchase a gift card or a Green Dot card and then call back with the card information to make a payment.

“If a consumer receives one of these calls they should never provide any personal or financial information to the caller” said Steve J. Bernas, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago

and Northern Illinois.

“Instead they should contact their utility company’s customer service department and verify that a call was made.”

Additionally, if you suspect that the call is fraudulent or you may be a victim of a scam you should contact your local police department.

PERU — The Rev. Arthur Schmit, O.S.B., monk and priest of St. Bede Abbey, 83, died from congestive heart failure and related complications late in the morning of Saturday, March 8, 2014, at St. Joseph’s Nursing Home in Lacon, where he had been receiving hospice care since mid-January.

Father Arthur was born in Port Washington, Wis., on Sept. 23, 1930, but during his early childhood the family moved to Peoria, where he grew up together with a younger brother and two sisters. His mother, Gertrude Dunst Schmit, had come from Danzig on the Baltic Sea, now Gdansk in Poland, but at that time a German city, whereas his father, Gustave Schmit, Rev. Arthur had immigrated to the United States from Luxemburg.

Schmit His early education was at the grade school of St. Boniface (now St. Ann’s) Parish, and he attended high school at Spalding Institute, then staffed by monks from St. Bede, from which he graduated in 1948. He then came to the junior college seminary at St. Bede, earned the associate degree two years later, and was then accepted for admission to St. Bede Abbey, together with eight other candidates.

During the next year he completed his novitiate at St. Bede, and at its conclusion he made simple profession of vows on July 11, 1951. He then completed his college studies at St. John’s University, Collegeville, Minn., receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy in 1953.

For the next four years he studied theology in preparation for the priesthood at the St. Bede School of Theology, and was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop William Cousins in the Peoria cathedral on June 2, 1957.

After some experience teaching Latin, history and English in the academy at St. Bede, Father Arthur was assigned to graduate studies, first in modern languages at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and then in educational administration at the Catholic University of America, obtaining a master’s degree in each of these areas. He then served as chief executive officer (then called rector) of St. Bede Academy from 1963 to 1970.

His service to the academy as language teacher, both in German as needed and in French for more than 50 years, lasted much longer. His language skills were enhanced by further study at the Universities of Dijon, Salzburg and Strasbourg during the summers of 1971, 1972 and 1980. He finally retired from teaching only in 2011, even though he was confined to a wheelchair for the last decade of his life.

He also served the academy as moderator of the student government from its inception in the 1960s until 2007, in which capacity he presided over many student trips to participate in conventions, to help the poor in Appalachia, and to enjoy skiing in Wisconsin, and over student educational excursions to Europe. He also had a long history as perennial moderator of the Bedan Club, a position that he continued to fill up until his admission to the nursing home in January.

Father Arthur was also the decades-long director of the apiary at St. Bede Abbey, providing honey for the monastic community and for sale. For many years, until his mobility was impaired, he also provided priestly service at the abbey and weekend assistance in parishes. He also served in the 1970s on the Peoria diocesan board of conciliation and arbitration.

In addition to the monastic community of St. Bede, Father Arthur is survived by his sister, Mrs. Rosalie Cavanaugh of Monmouth, and her husband, James.

His body was returned to the St. Bede Abbey Church Monday, March 10. A wake service will be from 3 to 3:45 p.m. Tuesday, March 11. A prayer vigil was celebrated Monday, March 10. The Rt. Rev. Philip Davey, O.S.B., abbot of St. Bede, will preside at the funeral Mass at 4 p.m. Tuesday, March 11, with burial to follow in the abbey cemetery.

Ramona Eidenmiller OHIO, Ill. — Ramona F. Eidenmiller, 88, of Ohio, Ill., died Thursday, March 6, 2014, at OSF St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria.

Ramona was born Oct. 1, 1925, in Sublette, the daughter of Raymond and Rose Veronica (Donnelly) FitzRamona patrick. She was united in Eidenmiller marriage to Robert J. Eidenmiller on Aug. 1, 1949, in Arlington. He preceded her in death on Feb. 19, 1996.

Ramona had been a guidance counselor at Ohio High School for many years. Her duties were more of a calling than a job to her, and she blessed many students with her encouragement, wisdom and generosity. In life, her students existed not only within the high school halls but also in the people she met out in the world. When she interacted with those who had what they felt was an impossible dream, she helped them take steps to turn the impossible into the possible.

She never gave up on troubled students, staying in touch with them as the years passed and encouraging them to strive for more. When people had no faith in themselves, she gave them some of hers. As a result, many were able to burst out of cocoons, shake their wings and begin to fly.

Wherever she went, she made friends and she was no stranger to new opportunities to grow and learn. When asked to introduce herself at events, she simply said, “I am Ramona Eidenmiller, LifeLong Learner.”

She is survived by 10 nieces and nephews and numerous great-nieces and great-nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; three brothers, Francis, Raymond in infancy and Msgr. Don J.; and one sister, Mary Eileen Crock.

A Mass of Christian burial will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, March 15, at Immaculate Conception Church in Ohio with Father Thomas Shaw, pastor, officiating. Burial will be in St. Mary’s Cemetery in Delavan.

Visitation will be from 2 to 4 p.m.

Friday, March 14, with a rosary recited at 3:30 p.m., at the Garland Funeral Home in Walnut and from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, March 15, at Immaculate Conception.

A memorial has been established to Ohio Immaculate Conception Church, St. Bede and the Alzheimer Association, 606 W. Glen Ave., Peoria, IL 61614 in lieu of flowers. Condolences may be left at www.garlandfuneralhome.com.

Gail Kastor OGLESBY — Gail K. Kastor, 70, of Oglesby passed away Saturday, March 8, 2014, at his home.

He was born Jan. 27, 1944 in Princeton to Kenneth R. and Edna L. (Johnson) Kastor.

He graduated from Malden High School in 1962. He married Carolyn Pyron on Dec. 30, 1991, in Princeton. He farmed and was an over-the-road truck driver for 33 years. He enjoyed tractor pulling and was a member of the Illinois State Pullers Association. He loved his John Deere tractor, and was an avid Chicago Bears and Cubs Fan. He is survived by his wife, Carol Kastor of Oglesby; his children, Rodney (Tammy) Kastor of Princeton, Rita (Todd) Poruba of Princeton, daughter-in-law Lee Kastor of Oklahoma, Barb (Steve) DeLeon of Texas, Selena Stehn of Texas and Robert Pyron of Texas; his grandchildren, Jacob Kastor of Princeton, and Alex Rincones, Steven DeLeon, Warren Stehn, Clayton Pyron, Lainey Pyron and Mollie Pyron, all of Texas; three brothers, Neil (Mary) Kastor of Florida, Randy (Gayle) Kastor of Batavia and Ron (Betty) Kastor of Arlington; the mother of his children, Carol Fisher; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents and one son, Roy Kastor.

Services will be from 6 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 12, at the Norberg Memorial Home, Princeton, with Marc Straun officiating. Burial will be private and at a later date.

The family will receive friends from 3 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 12, at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to American Cancer Society or St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. Online condolences may be left at www.norbergfh.com.

Serving Bureau County Since 1847

Publisher

Editor

From the editor’s desk As I write this on Monday, I think the warmer weather outside makes us all feel better. Even though the time change had us rubbing our eyes a bit earlier this morning than what we are used to, the sun and almost spring-like weather made it all worthwhile. Right now, I’m imaginTerri ing a long line at the car washes in Bureau Simon County.

As the weather thaws, you’ll want to be on the look out for those darn potholes. As villages/ cities/the county and state work hard to repair those craters, be extra careful when you’re traveling. A good-sized pothole can wreak havoc on your vehicle.

Slow down. Those potholes are especially difficult to see at night.

••• Next Monday is St. Patrick’s Day. Whether you’re Irish or not, you’ll want to watch for our fun-filled St. Patrick’s Day feature in Saturday’s Bureau County Republican. We’ve included a listing of many of the places in the Illinois Valley that will be serving that ever-popular corned beef and cabbage ... plus a whole lot more. Watch for it!

An Irish saying: “There are many good reasons for drinking, One has just entered my head.

If a man doesn’t drink when he’s living, How in the heck can he drink when he’s dead?”

St. Patrick’s Day toast: “Here’s to a long life and a merry one.

A quick death and an easy one A pretty girl and an honest one A cold beer – and another one!”

They say everybody is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day! Enjoy!

••• Just a reminder: We’d be happy to publish a brief on your organization’s upcoming event. Whether it’s a fish fry, a church dinner, etc., please send us the what, when, where and why to news@bcrnews. com. Remember to include your name and telephone number, so we can call you if we have any questions before we publish. Thanks.

••• With warmer weather here to stay (I’m an optimist), please be careful as you drive. A lot of younger children will be excited to be outside and play after our brutal and often bitterly cold weather, and they might not use the best judgment when it comes to crossing streets, chasing after a ball, etc. Take a few extra minutes to slow down and watch for those youngsters. Thanks.

••• The primary election is March 18. Don’t forget to cast your ballot. I’ve seen way too many elections decided by one or just a few votes. Your vote does count. Be informed, and make your voice heard.

Watch for contested candidate profiles in Thursday’s BCR, and check out our front page story today on early voting.

••• Just for fun: One Sunday morning, a little girl and her mother go to church. Halfway through the service, the little girl tells her mother she’s going to be sick. Her mother tells her to go in the bushes behind the church. The girl leaves and comes back after about five minutes. Her mother asks her if she threw up. ‘’Yes,” the girl says. “But I didn’t have to go all the way ‘round the back. There was a box near the front door that said, ‘For the Sick.’’’

••• Now that the weather is warmer, I’m hoping we can all get out and about a bit more. Let’s kick that cabin fever to the curb. I’m ready. How ‘bout you? As you go about your travels this week, please try to be gently with those you meet. And don’t forget to save some of that gentleness for yourself.

And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR. BCR Editor Terri Simon can be reached at tsimon@bcrnews.com.

On the street

March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day. If you found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, what would you do with it?

“I would go on a shopping spree; then whatever I have left I would give to charity.”

Kayla Ward, Ohio

“I would pay off bills, fix up my house, and buy new vehicles.”

Bart Piper, Ohio “I would pay bills, pay off my kids’ college loans, take a trip to Hawaii with my family and give to charity.”

Jill Thompson, Princeton

“I would help my grandma and my family get out of debt and then give back to the community.”

Josh Weber, Ohio

“I’d pay off the bills from my surgery then buy plane tickets to see my brother graduate from boot camp in California. I’d save the rest for college.”

Kaitlyn Hughes, Ohio TO Letters THE Editor

Willing to lend a hand?

To the Editor, This year Weber House and Garden celebrates its 30th anniversary, and we are looking for volunteers.

These volunteers would help ensure this important LaSalle County tourist attraction continues well into the future.

Although we continue to maintain the two-acre English garden, time catches up with us all and this can’t go on forever.

Actually, we are seeking a group or individual to whom we can eventually entrust the property. This is a great opportunity for anyone who is passionate about romantic English houses and gardens in the spirit of Great Dixter and Sissinghurst.

We need help watering, spraying, and fertilizing our 100 roses, pruning box and yew, deadheading, spreading mulch and even conducting tours when we have motor coaches.

Weber House and Garden has an impressive pedigree and has attracted thousands of visitors. It has been featured on PBS, in “Chicagoland Gardening,” and numerous newspapers.

Now we need help to keep the story going and the visitors coming! Contact number is 815-672-8327. For more information, please look on our website and Facebook page.

Ted Weber Streator

Time for a change To the Editor, As the snow falls as tiny crystals hit the ground, it reminds me that a change is needed. People look forward to spring after experiencing a long, cold winter.

We await in anticipation for that warmer weather.

I look forward to the primary election that will be held on Tuesday, March 18. “We the People” have the freedom on this day to have our voice be heard.

We choose candidates who are to represent our best interest. We need to hold all of our leaders responsible for the decisions they either support or oppose.

Within one’s community, state or nation, people need to become less useful idiots. Being educated and informed allows people to make better decisions than what they would have otherwise made.

Illinois is corrupt by nature because the voters continue to choose the same type of people who have allowed this mess to continue year after year.

Jerry Long, a resident of Streator, Illinois, is running against Frank Mautino in the Illinois House 76th District. Mautino has only run opposed twice, and he is a wellpolished career politician.

Jerry, his wife Patricia, have four children.

Jerry is a Teamster driver of 28 years and is concerned about the financial status of Illinois.

Jerry knows that for real change to come to Illinois, we must bring jobs to the private sector.

Jerry, like most people in Illinois, understands how to live within a budget and is willing to make the tough decisions that are in the best interest of the people of Illinois.

New leadership will begin in Illinois when voters take responsibility and vote. When evil rules, it ruins and corrupts a state just like our experience here in Illinois. We need to send career politicians home permanently, never to be in a public position of authority again.

First, you must be a registered voter; then you must understand the views your candidate supports.

Once the primary is over, voters need to see to it that in the general election, Nov. 4, 2014, Jerry Long is the new representative in the 76th District for Illinois.

Kim Forristall Princeton

More Widmark films to check out To the Editor, Princeton area residents who want to rediscover hometown Hollywood star Richard Widmark now have eight more of his movies close at hand.

Among the movies I was pleased to donate to the Princeton Public Library are two films that illustrate the chronological range of talented performers with whom Widmark acted.

In 1955’s “The Cobweb,” a soap opera-style movie based in a posh psychiatric clinic, Widmark’s costars were Lauren Bacall (Humphrey Bogart’s wife), Charles Boyer, Gloria Grahame and Lillian Gish — a celebrated silent film star of the 1910s and 1920s.

Fast-forward to 1991’s “True Colors,” a political drama that was Widmark’s last movie. He played a supporting role to the film’s young co-stars, John Cusack and James Spader, both of whom are active today in the film industry.

Widmark’s 44-year Hollywood career thus has acting connections that span the 1910s to the 2010s – amazing!

I particularly enjoyed watching “Red Skies of Montana,” a 1952 film where Widmark plays the leader of a crew of firefighters who deploy by parachute to battle forest fires.

Jeffrey Hunter co-stars as a

young firefighter who seeks revenge against Widmark’s character after his father dies in a flareup.

“Death of a Gunfighter,” a 1969 film that some consider Widmark’s final movie as a leading man before he transitioned to character roles, features legendary singer Lena Horne. Widmark’s stockyard confrontation with villain Carroll O’Connor, who went on to play Archie Bunker in TV’s “All in the Family,” is not to be missed.

Other DVDs new to the library’s Widmark collection are “My Pal Gus” (1952), which supplements the library’s existing VHS copy; “Twilight’s Last Gleaming” (1977), a nuclear hostage drama starring Burt Lancaster; “The Domino Principle” (1977), which stars Gene Hackman and Candice Bergen; and “National Lampoon’s Movie Madness” (1982), with Robbie Benson and Christopher Lloyd.

It’s clear to me that this 1932 graduate of Princeton High School kept pretty good company on the silver screen. If it’s true that “you’re known by the company you keep,” Widmark deserves to be known, and long remembered, as the enduring and exceptional actor he was.

The library’s collection now numbers nearly 50 of his 72 movies, representing a wide variety of genres.

The next time you visit the library, treat yourself to a Richard Widmark movie.

The next Widmark Wednesday film, by the way, will be shown at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the library. One of Widmark’s finest film noir movies, a 1950 classic that was shot in London, will be shown.

Mark your calendars!

Colfax Sectional championship: Heyworth 60, Putnam County 48

Panthers feel the Hornets’ sting

By Ken Schroeder sports@bcrnews.com

COLFAX — On a night when dreams and trophies were on the line, bad breaks helped the Heyworth Hornets end the Putnam County Panthers’ boys basketball season on March 7 in the final game of the Ridgeview 1A Sectional with a final score of 60-48.

Both teams started cold with three complete laps of the gym before the Hornets put in the first bucket after 1:15 had dribbled off the clock.

At the end of the first period, Heyworth led 11-6, shutting down all Panther scorers except Evan Kreiser and Alec Veverka.

“We just didn’t shoot the ball well in the first half. You just have to play better this time of the season,” Harold Fay said. “They got a lot of breaks and we didn’t.”

The Panthers (22-9) trailed for the rest of the game as Heyworth outscored Putnam County in three quarters and tied in the fourth.

“We just a hard time scoring. Our effort was there, our defense we played pretty well most of the way,” PC coach Josh Nauman said. “We missed a lot of open shots early and missed a lot we should have made, but you can’t really con-

Although PC made several rallies during the game, there just wasn’t enough momentum to take it over the top. Adding to the problem was foul trouble in the second half for Kreiser and

PRINCETON — Bob James has had his share of softball talent at Princeton High School. He believes he may have his best team top to bottom this spring.

“Without a doubt, talent wise we’re probably deeper than we’ve been in years,” he said. “In the past, we’ve had five or six solid players. Then after that we had a little bit of a fall-off. We have a lot of kids with the good basic softball skills.

It’s refreshing. It’s good to see. We’ve got 26 kids, and they all know they’re out competing everytime.”

Of the 26 girls in camp, Mollie Bates is the one and only senior. She returns for her third year of second base with the big club and is becoming more of a vocal leader, James said. She batted .413 as an All-BCR First Team pick last year.

“She’s a quiet kid by nature, but she’s assumed that role and running with it,” he said.

James said at this point he has just four starters locked in with Bates at second, junior Abby Jaques at catcher, sophomore pitcher Madison Menzel in the circle and junior Danielle Hughes at center field or first base.

Jaques, an All-BCR First Team pick, swings a big bat (.420, 4 HR, 21 RBI) with a strong arm behind the dish.

Hughes batted .271 with the varsity as a sophomore.

In Menzel, James believes she has all the makings to

“She’s got great work ethic and pretty much pitches year round developing. She throws hard and has great size. Her hands are huge and makes a big difference,” James said. “I think she has everything that Lainie has pitch wise

Veverka which had them using bench time more than normal with Veverka fouling out during the fourth quarter.

“That really hurts. He’s a special player for a sophomore and having to sit him as much as we did in the second half really hurt,” Nauman said. “A couple of those blocks looked pretty clean to me, but not much we can do about it.”

Looking back at the season, Nauman saw some great accomplishments from his team.

“It was a great group. It was the first group I had, they were freshman my first year here,” Nauman said.

“They’re great kids and they’ve worked hard. Harold and Evan have been up on the varsity for three years and won about 70 games, two regionals, two conference tournaments and a bunch of other tournaments. They’ve had great

careers.”

Fay and Heyworth Hornets senior Dallas Lee each dropped in 19 points to lead their respective teams, with eight of Fay’s points coming from nine attempts at the free-throw line. Kreiser dropped in 13 more for Putnam County with Veverka adding eight.

With back-to-back regional titles, most of the Panthers were disappointed, but proud of their year.

“It doesn’t matter how far you get. I can’t thank this team enough,” Kreiser said. “We had a heck of a year all three years I’ve been on varsity. We felt we’ve accomplished a lot of things.”

“We played good. We just needed to stay more patient,” Veverka said. “Our execution wasn’t the best, but all-in-all it was a fun game.”

Heyworth advanced to the Normal Super-sectional to face Champaign St. Thomas More at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Redbird Arena.
