Connecting the circle

EDCNCI aims to combine area forces to promote economic/social growth

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — A key player can gain recognition, accolades and accomplishments through the distribution of their efforts, but if they forge forward alone, the chances of failure are greater.

Combining forces as a team is what makes

the characteristics of each individual shine that much brighter, and the community members spearheading the Economic Development Cooperation of North Central Illinois (EDCNCI) are basing their approach around that notion.

At a board meeting held Wednesday, May 11 at Central Bank in Princeton, Jim Riley, president of Hometown National Bank in

LaSalle, said the goal of the EDCNCI is to market the tri-county area to the external area — the world so to speak — but primarily in the Midwest through their Chicago connections.

“We think of ourselves as a marketing and sales organization for the tri-county region,” Riley said. “We’re certainly not working against anybody who’s doing local work, but

our focus is going to be some of the external work with the larger and more industrial commercial-type of opportunities.”

Riley indicated the EDCNCI will be working with about a $400,000 budget per year, having asked for a three-year commitment from both municipal and private organizations. He

Emergency workers came together with students and staff at LaMoille High School on May 11 to illustrate the result of a mock, fatal traffic accident on prom night. Police, fire, ambulance and the coroner re-enacted the process in hopes to keep safety on the minds of the students who will be traveling the roads on prom night and beyond. This year has seen a dramatic increase in area traffic fatalities. See more photos on www.bcrnews.com.

WYANET — When you’re a veteran of the military or a member of a military family, you understand loyalty to your country and your community.

For Marilyn Olds, who has been with the VFW Post in Wyanet for 65 years, the goal has always been to teach the song of freedom to every ear that will listen.

Olds was a teenager during World War II, and she attended the country grade school outside of Wyanet. She knew her eventual husband since childhood and wrote him religiously during his time in the service, dancing as the chapel bells rang when

he returned from his duty to his country.

“The VFW post was instituted here in 1946, right after World War II, but we didn’t join until 1951,” Olds said, noting she and her fellow members have always tried to do what they could for veterans, like contributing money to the Veterans Home in LaSalle.

“Right now we’re trying to put a memorial up for the veterans like some of the towns have done because we’ve never had anything in Wyanet.”

Olds said Wyanet VFW Chairman Ann Fritz has been looking into what a veterans memorial plaque or statue would cost, as

Generations collide at Liberty Village Students graduate with a jump on their medical careers

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Alexis Richards, 17, of Arlington sits at a table in a dining room at Liberty Village in Princeton with a resident who is well into her 80s. As she encourages the resident to eat, the two talk about Richards’ upcoming prom at Princeton High School. Before long, the older woman is talking about the prom she attended more than 60-plus years ago. There are questions from both ladies. There is laughter — both caught up in a moment by two people who are worlds apart.

Down the hallway, Katelynn Aukes, 17, of Wyanet is pushing a man in wheelchair down the hall. Though the conversation is one-sided, you’d never know it, since Aukes chats casually and with expression to the man who rides quietly down the hall. There is a smile on her face as she asks him questions, ignores the fact he doesn’t answer and just keeps talking to the fellow like they’ve been friends for years.

It’s shower time for several Liberty Village residents, and Ashley Falk, 18, of Tiskilwa is on shower patrol. While many of BCR photo/Terri Simon the residents aren’t thrilled with getting a shower, Falk makes Bureau Valley and Princeton High School seniors Ashley Falk (from left), Stephanie Rhodes, Katelynn Aukes and Alexis

Meet some of the high school CNAs at Liberty Village CNA Alexis Richards How long have you worked at Liberty Village (LV): A year and four months. I started working in activities, and then once I got my license I started working as a CNA. I took the CNA course through the Area Career Center at L-P High School.

After high school, do you plan on pursuing a career in the nursing field or other related field? If so, what: I want to get my BSN and then major in something to do with children because I love working with children.

How many hours a week do you work at LV: About 30.

What would you consider the most rewarding part of your job at LV: I love the fact I connect so much with my residents, and some of them remind me of my grandparents so much, and I love that. I also love that you can tell how much the residents appreciate the work we do for them, and some of them tell you how much we do and how much they love that.

What would you consider the most difficult part of your job at LV: The hardest part is when residents go home or when they pass because you get so attached.

What qualities/characteristics do you think young people need to work in the job you have at LV: I believe they need to be sociable, understanding, passionate about their job, have a laughable attitude and have a supportive attitude for others.

How do you think your job of working with older folks will influence the type of person you are and the type of adult you will become in the future: I think this will help me better understand when family members pass and will also help me understand once I am older just how they feel/felt being here and having help.

Do you have a memorable moment from your job at LV: I think the most memorable moment I have is every time I put this resident to bed, I ask if she needs anything else, and her reply is she uncovers her arms and says, “a hug” and gives me the biggest bear hug and kiss on the cheek every time. I love that so much because sometimes when I’m having a bad day or night, it just brightens it so much.

What advice would you give to other high school students who want to work in a senior care facility: I would tell them that if they think they won’t get attached to residents they are wrong and expect to get attached to some of them as if they are your own grandparents.

CNA Katelynn Aukes How long have you worked at LV: I have worked at Liberty Village for 10 months. I got my license through Whiteside Area Career Center during my junior year of high school.

WACC works with many area high schools, including BVHS, so I attended two classes in the morning at my school and the rest of my day consisted of working toward licensure. I received the results of my state exam and became officially certified on May 18, 2015.

After high school, do you plan on pursuing a career in the nursing field or other related field? If so, what: I plan to pursue occupational therapy after high school.

Generations From Page 1 it fun, chattering away about how good they’ll feel after their showers and making small talk as she takes them in their wheelchairs to the shower room. The result?

Without exception, all the residents exit the shower room with a smile on their faces, which ironically mimics Falk’s smile as well.

Just down the hallway, Stephanie Rhodes, 18, of Walnut kneels down beside a lady in a wheelchair who is obviously upset. Tears roll down the lady’s face as Rhodes talks quietly to her.

With her arm around the lady’s shoulders, her comforting words do the trick, and within a few minutes, the tears are replaced with a

smile. Rhodes hugs the lady who is 60-plus years older than she is, and periodically goes back to check on the resident to make sure the smile still exists.

The aforementioned high school seniors are among a handful of other high-schoolers who work as certified nursing assistants (CNA) at Liberty Village and other facilities around the county. As they study English, math, history and science during their classes throughout the day at area high schools, they switch gears in the late afternoon and become caregivers for area nursing home residents. Their youth and innocence are in direct contrast to those for whom they care, however, that same youth and innocence brings much com-

Approximately how many hours a week do you work at LV: It depends on the week, but anywhere from 11-27 when school is in session. When summer comes, I plan to take on more hours if possible, so that I can continue to save money for college.

What would you consider the most rewarding part of your job at LV: I consider my ability to be close to the residents and be a part of their lives to be the most rewarding part of my job.

What would you consider the most difficult part of your job at LV: The most difficult part of the job for me comes when residents pass away. Even if I’ve only known them for a little while, it’s hard to see them go, and I often miss them.

What qualities/characteristics do you think young people need to work in the job you have at LV: When working in a job like mine, patience, kindness and compassion are keys to being successful.

How do you think your job of working with older folks will influence the type of person you are and the type of adult you will become in the future: I believe as an adult I will have more open eyes, especially in the case of health care, be it for myself or my family. As an adult I may have a family member living in a facility much like Liberty Village. Because of my job now, I will always have great respect and admiration for those who care for my family member when I can’t be there, or even those who care for me someday, should I need it. Before becoming a CNA, I had no idea how demanding yet rewarding the job truly is.

Do you have a memorable moment from your job at LV: I was helping a resident get settled into their bed one night, and she looked up at me and said, “You’ll make a good mother someday because you’re very good at tucking in us old ladies.” To this day, it remains one of the most meaningful things anyone has ever said to me and I will remember it forever.

What advice would you give to other high school students who want to work in a senior care facility: If you are considering working in a senior care facility during high school, GO FOR IT! It’s demanding, but so rewarding!

Plus, you’ll meet some wonderful people, both residents and coworkers.

CNA Ashley Falk

How long have you worked at Liberty Village: It’ll already be a year in June! I went through our ACC (Area Career Center) program we have offered as juniors and seniors in high school at PHS my junior year, and took the Health Occupations class, which is a class with duel credit class with IVCC. Throughout the first semester, we learned everything we needed to become a CNA, so our job after winter break became CNAs in training at the IVCH and the LaSalle-Peru veterans nursing home. We then took the final test to get our certification at IVCC. After high school, do you plan on pursuing a career in the nursing field or other related field? If so, what: I was planning on becoming a nurse practitioner and going on into nursing, but I think I have switched gears and am going into psychology. Not that all of what I learned isn’t going to help me in my field, but this experience has led me to believe this is what I would like to do in my life.

Approximately how many hours a week do you work at LV: Usually around 30.

What would you consider the most rewarding part of your job at LV: Listening to all of the residents telling me

fort, energy and smiles to the hallways of this facility for senior citizens.

All four young ladies earned their CNA certification while attending high school. While all of them plan to go into some sort of medical field after college, they already have a jump on many of their classmates, earning their CNA certification while they are high school students.

Students at Princeton High School attend the Area Career Center at LaSalle-Peru High School in LaSalle, and Bureau Valley students attend the Whiteside Area Career Center in Sterling. The programs, which basically last throughout the school year, require students to spend about half their school day at the centers. Upon

completion of the Illinois Department of Public Health requirements, the students are then eligible to take the state CNA exam.

Several requirements apply, and if a student is successful, they walk away from the program with their CNA certification.

“We are very fortunate to have many excellent employees working at Liberty Village of Princeton,” said Peggy Holt, administrator at Liberty Village in Princeton. “Our young high school students bring their youth and vitality to the residents they serve, and in turn, receive training and experience to pursue their medical career goals. It is truly a win-win experience for all.”

stories; they seem to make you think about life a little differently. I have learned a lot from the residents I’ve taken care of, and sometimes it’s hard not to become so close with some of them. I love being able to enjoy what I do because of the people I’m around. The staff and the people I work with, along with their families, are all amazing.

Working in a field like this is very rewarding.

What would you consider the most difficult part of your job at LV: It really is a lot of hard work; it’s usually high pace and always something different. Different things happen every day!

What qualities/characteristics do you think young people need to work in the job you have at LV: You truly have to be patient and kind.

How do you think your job of working with older folks will influence the type of person you are and the type of adult you will become in the future: Their stories have definitely changed my view on life. And I think talking with them makes me become wiser every day, which will help me in the future when I’m an adult.

Do you have a memorable moment from your job at LV: I make memories everyday with my residents at LV! It’s probably the craziest roller coaster I’ve ever been on though!

What advice would you give to other high school students who want to work in a senior care facility: Make sure you realize what you’re getting yourself into, even after the schooling and clinicals there’s still an even more real world when you start to create relationships with the people you work with.

CNA Stephanie Rhodes How long have you worked at Liberty Village: 10 months. I got my CNA my junior year at Whiteside Area Career Center.

After high school, do you plan on pursuing a career in the nursing field or other related field? If so, what: I plan on attending Western Illinois University to major in nursing.

How many hours a week do you work at LV: 25.

What would you consider the most rewarding part of your job at LV: Definitely being able to get to know the residents, listen to their stories and joke with them! They always know how to brighten your day.

What would you consider the most difficult part of your job at LV: The most difficult part would have to be losing a resident. We never forget about them and often reminiscence on how they’ve made a mark on us What qualities/characteristics do you think young people need to work in the job you have at LV: They need to have a big heart and an understanding of why they’re doing what they’re doing.

How do you think your job of working with older folks will influence the type of person you are and the type of adult you will become in the future: Hearing all of the different stories from the residents has definitely influenced me and made me realize how much we take for granted; life is a lot shorter than we think!

Do you have a memorable moment from your job at LV: There’s a memorable moment every time I work; it would be hard to pick!

What advice would you give to other high school students who want to work in a senior care facility: If you want to work here for money, simply don’t. It’s more than “just” a job; the work is sometimes hard (physically and emotionally), but the nursing field is easily the most rewarding and gratifying.

“We’re just starting to think about it, but we need a place to put it and need to begin drawing up designs,” said Olds, who tossed around the idea of bake sales during summer festivals in Wyanet to raise money for a memorial.

Old said there are 50 members in the Wyanet VFW, but only 12 of them are active. The lone World War II veteran who is still a member, Francis Day, has been a part of the post for 70 years. Most older veterans are gone now, and Olds is concerned with the lack of patriotism in her community and across the nation.

“It’s kind of gone down the last few years, and we don’t seem to stress much locally for the veterans,” she said. “I don’t think the kids realize how important it is to have the freedom to live in this country.”

Growth

points from the interstate — was a phenomenal resource to sell.”

Within two years to the week of the initial idea, the EDCNCI had their first investor meeting. The steering committee met many times trying to find the common ground and define what the core values of this organization were — a concept built and structured on something that would do well for everybody.

“It’s something new, and we hope three years from now we’re still smiling,” Riley said, stating everyone will benefit if the functions of the EDCNCI are kept within the region.

On the horizon Joni Hunt, executive director of Illinois Valley Area Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development, said the tricounty area is the last one in Central Illinois to have its own EDUC, and although many local individuals are promoting economic development quite well in their own right, the board members need to consider EDUC examples from places such as Blooming ton-Normal, Peoria and Rockford.

“Those people are advancing further faster because they have a cohesive group working together, and that’s exactly what we need to do here,” Hunt said, noting to get outside corporations to look at the tri-county region for development and job growth, local individuals need to compete at that high EDUC level.

Former Princeton Mayor Keith Cain said all the towns in the area have something to offer. Putnam County is small but very powerful, with a lot to capitalize on. Bureau

From Page 1A said they have money in the bank that will get them through the first year, with letters of intent to get them through Years 2 and 3.

The EDCNCI just got the ball rolling and is conducting a nationwide search for a CEO, with one strong candidate in mind and other suitable candidates making the search very compelling.

“We’re going to be spending most of our money and time outside of the area and building our relationships out there,” Riley said, mentioning the plan is to have a central office at Illinois Valley Community College with the budget built around a three-person staff to begin with. “We’ll get that CEO as the first person hired, and then it’s up to them to hire their staff from that point forward.”

How it got started Riley said a few years ago people got together and decided something needed to be done a little differently than what had been done in the past. The steering committee commissioned Northern Illinois University to do a study, and they determined the best thing going was the geographical entity itself — the tri-county region encompassing Bureau, Putnam and LaSalle counties.

“The resources within the region were phenomenal, representing 153,000 people and over 3,300 businesses, not counting retail and farm businesses,” Riley said. “The fact we had the confluence of the interstate, the river and a good airport in the area — plus a tremendous amount of access and exit

County has the interstate and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. LaSalle County is a domineering civil force that should be considered an ally by neighboring communities.

“We have a lot to offer, but to try to do it as one county or one city, you just don’t have the resources,” Cain said. “That’s why we put it together, so we’re all in the same hat.”

Hunt brought up the example of Rockford, who studied what their assets were and decided the aeronautic industry is what they were going to be really good at; whereas Rochelle promoted their rail system as much as possible. Through the EDCNCI, the conversation can focus on what kind of industry clusters and relationships with site selectors and developers are available all across the nation — marketing assets to people who are utilizing them.

Riley spoke of the ethanol plant in the Hennepin; automobile factories and a housing factory in Peru; frack sand manufactured in LaSalle County and the titanium powder plant in Ottawa as opportunities to build upon. Cain emphasized the nice terminals along the river in Ottawa, and Hunt said the collaboration of all available resources is one of the greatest goals of the EDCNCI. Riley said it’s important to have the private and public sectors, as well as the union, all working together, so everyone lays their cards on the table at the beginning of the discussion and isn’t slipping any sly aces from their sleeve.

“It’s encouraging, and it’s also enjoyable watching us come together. We all grew up in small communities where we developed a

little competition, and we’re trying to set that aside and say, ‘Let’s work together,’” Riley said, adding the goal is to keep it administratively streamlined so they don’t run into a lot of red tape. “We’ve got a fairly small board of directors and people involved who know how to make decisions and move forward.”

Without blaming politics, Cain said people are frustrated nationwide over the poor economic state of affairs as of late, and therefore must promote each other in renovations and improvement, as each sector of implemented action helps the entire area.

“Spring Valley is getting a new bridge which helps traffic flow and putting a new wastewater treatment plant in, so it might seem minor to some people, but that’s a big factor to industry and whoever is coming around,” Cain said, noting that if you can invite everyone onto the same page it makes for one even player across Central Illinois.

“Many areas are being developed, so everybody has something going for them.”

Hunt concluded the explanation of the EDCNCI by noting it was important to the board members they had good communication with all the different layers to make the project successful, and that they are able to move swiftly as to not be excluded from any potential projects.

“This is a collaboration of 2,200 square miles where our people collectively will be employed, purchasing homes and using our services, and then that whole economic development circle is completed by everyone working together.”

Bureau County Sheriff Jim Reed released investigators are still receiving numerous complaints in reference to the IRS scam. The thieves call taxpayers claiming to be IRS officials and demand the victim pay a bogus tax bill. They con the victim into sending cash, usually through a prepaid debit card or wire transfer. They also leave urgent callback requests telephone “robo-calls” or via “phishing email.”

The IRS will not call you to demand an immediate payment. The IRS will not call you if you owe taxes without sending a bill in the mail. The IRS will not demand that you pay taxes and not allow you to question or appeal the amount that you owe. The IRS will not ask you for a credit card over the telephone or threaten to bring the police or

other agencies to arrest you for not paying.

If you receive one of the telephone calls, do not give out any information, hang up immediately. Phone scams have ripped off people in every state in the nation. They have targeted the elderly, those who speak English as a second language, and now just about everyone.

Contact TIGTA to report the call, Use their “IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting“ web page. You can also call 800336-4484. Or you can report the call to the Federal Trade Commission. Use the “FTC Complaint Assistance” on FTC. gov.

If you think you may owe taxes, call the IRS at 800-8291040. IRS workers can help you.

Finance: Ken Snyder said he made a claim for wind damage to the village hall roof and is waiting for results.

Snyder and the clerk will make a new list for the surveys not returned at this point. Snyder spoke with the auditing company regarding the shortages in the water and sewer funds and says the general fund has to cover any deficits. Snyder and the clerk will continue to work with the account, and the Douglas Irwin office will do the audit. The budgets were discussed and the negative balances are a big concern.

A note from your publisher ...

Times were different when we built the Bureau County Republican facility on Ace Road in 2004.

Then, each publication in our company Sam was fairly self-contained — all functions Fisher were housed in the COMMENTARY newspaper’s building.

Since that time, we have made strategic decisions to consolidate functions whenever and wherever possible. Like many enterprises, it no longer makes economic sense to have siloed operations.

When we consolidated printing and mailroom functions in 2014, it became apparent the current facility had more space and expense than needed or warranted.

So until the BCR building is sold, the newspaper will remain. Once we find a suitable buyer, staff will be moved to a different location in Princeton. A downtown location would be ideal.

It was a prudent decision then to build, and it is the right decision now to sell. We are not ceasing publication or closing up shop. Many businesses in the community have had to make similar decisions. The BCR is no different.

Sam Fisher, BCR publisher

Attention: Graduates

It’s that time of year when our area graduates will be receiving their diplomas — whether junior high, high school or college, these pieces of paper represent much, not just to the graduates but also to every parent, family member, educator and others involved in the lives of these gradTerri uates.

To say we are proud Simon is an understatement.

Whether your graduCOMMENTARY ate flew through his/ her career with ease or whether your graduate just barely scraped by ... the result is equal among all graduates in the class ... that being a diploma.

While the pomp and circumstance are oftentimes lost on the post-graduation party at the time of graduation, the future remains. High school and college graduates have decisions to make that will ultimately affect many avenues in their lives. I wish there was an easy formula to offer those graduates about how to prepare for the future, however, those journeys are as individualized as each graduate. What’s good for one may be disastrous for another and vice versa.

I’d love to be the one to offer sound advice for a fulfilling future to each graduate in the area, but clearly, there are people much smarter than I am who are trained to help guide young people on their journey into adulthood. While I often hear about advice given to these impressionable young minds and raise an eyebrow on how realistic that advice really is, I’ve made enough mistakes in my life to know advice is only as good as the person who is capable of heeding those words.

Still, as the editor of a newspaper who truly values young people and who regularly publishes countless photos, briefs, stories, etc., focused on youth, I feel obligated to pass on a few bits of “wisdom.”

First and foremost, I would tell graduates to not take themselves too seriously; it’s OK to make mistakes. We grow from our missteps, and we learn a lot about ourselves along the way. And always admit your mistakes. Even if others don’t appreciation your admission of guilt, you grow as a person from your ability to say, “I was wrong.”

Be happy. Life is way too short to be miserable. No. You may never bring home a six-figure salary, but money isn’t the key to a happy heart. Sounds cliche, I know. Do what you love, and love what you do — regardless if it’s your occupation or your free time.

Take time for those you love. If you don’t, I promise you there will come a day when you wish you had.

And maybe most important of all, take time for you. I’ve learned silence is golden, for it allows us to think, plan, sort and reminisce — all things that will make your journey a bit lighter and clearly more enjoyable.

I wish all graduates the best in life ... The world is yours, and you have my utmost respect. Congratulations.

Richard Widmark: A Princeton legend Persons of influence — Becoming Richard Widmark C olumn and artwork by B artlett L ee K assabaum Special to the BCR

The Victorian “Fairy Wedding Waltz” contained some of the fastest scale passages found in piano pieces of the day and has an element of flashy display using the technique called “the back of the nail glissando.” The technique was the stock and trade of early rocker Jerry Lee Lewis, performing in the mid 1950s and early 1960s, if that helps picture it.

The glissando seems like a relatively simple piano maneuver and the quickest way to glide from one pitch to another, but sweeping the fingers from one end of the keyboard to another can be painful to learn. Partial interpretations of the “Fairy Wedding Waltz” accompanied many a Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton silent screen comedy.

Richard Widmark had worked hard to grasp the trick, experimenting with various fingers and finger combinations, until he found a compromise that worked for him. He tried to get a brighter, louder tone to the music. Miss Farwell had given him much encouragement; he had practiced many hours, and he would not be performing the music if she did not think him able. Richard had access to a piano at school, at his lessons, and at his friend, Tom Best’s home, but mainly with the serviceable old instrument that stood in the back of the family bakery for both of the Widmark boys to use.

It had been just a few months short of a year ago when Richard Widmark and his younger brother, Donald Widmark, were both on the program at the Hampshire Colony First Congregational Church, on Friday evening Nov. 26, 1926. It was a chilly evening for the piano recital, under the direction of Miss Grace Luella Farwell with the assistance of Miss Janice Anthony as the violinist. Richard and Donald had their first recital with Miss Farwell on June 8, 1925. Richard played “Bicycle Race” and Donald played “The Jolley Raindrops” then.

This was now a year and half later. Donald would be performing “The Royal Review” by composer Jean Louis Streabbog, and Richard, a few numbers later, would play the “Holiday March” by composer Henry Kimbal (Hadley). The two pieces were simple works that taught the development of all the components of piano technique.

Young Richard and Donald Widmark did more than just take piano lessons. They did things with their regular pals like the Castner brothers, Tom Best or Lester Peterson. Richard and Donald were still a little chunky in grade school, and both had a sweet tooth. Donald was four years younger than Richard. It didn’t help that their family had the bakery, and that they had another connection with another Farwell.

Bobby Farwell, Grace Farwell’s nephew, was five years younger than Richard and a year younger than Donald. Donald hung around with Bobby and really liked going to his house at the end of South Fifth

Street. They didn’t live at the farm. Fred Farwell’s wife, Georgia, Bobby’s mom, was quite a baker herself, and her cookie jar was always full. Donald and Bobby would help themselves whenever the coast was clear.

Sometimes Richard would come too, when he found out there were “free” cookies to be had.

Miss Grace Farwell would mention to family, when they visited her in later years, and watch her former student, Richard Widmark, on the big screen, “He surely is not that chunky little boy anymore who used to get into Georgia’s cookie jar.”

Grace Farwell had been giving lessons in Princeton for over 20 years now, and she lived with her widowed mother at 422 E. Peru St. She was the organist at the church and gave all her lessons there, usually in the basement. Richard Widmark would become a famous actor and movie star, not particularly known for his musical abilities, but he could play the drums and piano. Her most famous pupil of musical note would be Virgil Fox, who she first gave piano and organ lessons to, when he was 8 years of age, at the Hampshire Colony Church.

He was one of her first students.

He was born May 3, 1912, to Miles and Birdie Fox in Princeton. Virgil was two years older than Richard Widmark and would graduate from Princeton High School in 1930 as salutatorian and go on to become a world famous concert organist.

Virgil Fox made his American concert debut at the age of 14, before even graduating from high school, in 1926, before an audience of 2,500 at Withrow High School, Cincinnati.

Ohio, and overseas in London, England, in 1933. He was known especially for his flamboyant “Heavy Organ” concerts of the music of Bach, staged complete with light shows. He served as organist at the prominent Riverside Church in New York City from 1946 to 1965, and under his direction, the organ was expanded to become one of the largest in the world. He was one of the rare organists to perform on nationally televised entertainment programs in the 1960s and 1970s, such as “The Mike Douglas Show,” “The Ed Sullivan Show,” and “CBS Camera Three.”

Virgil Fox was not on the program for this November recital and closing the program would be Gretchen Baisch of Princeton, playing “Idilio” by French composer Theodore Lack. Her mother, Jessie, was in the audience. Donald and Richard Widmark had played in the middle

part of the recital and now sat in the audience. Gretchen finished playing to a long round of applause, as the recital was now over. The Widmark brothers were ready for the refreshments.

It was about nine months later now, on the evening of Monday, Aug. 29, 1927, that Richard Widmark sat at the piano with over two years of lessons behind him. Vera Brenneman had finished her number, and Richard was introduced along with his music, the “Fairy Wedding Waltz” by composer Joseph W. Turner. The student made eye contact with his teacher and Miss Grace Farwell nodded to begin. Richard calmed himself, focused and started to play. Richard’s grandmother closed her eyes, listened and watched the images dance across the silver screen in the theater of her mind.

Richard finished Turner’s “Fairy Wedding Waltz” at the piano, having done a good job with the glissando, and shyly basked in the applause. Ethel Mae and grandmother Mary Barr were rightfully proud of both the boys. Donald had played just a week earlier, sitting at the same piano, on Monday evening, Aug. 22, 1927. He had performed “The Big Bass Singer” by Walter Rolfe, a fun piece that was charmingly simple, and “The Ghost” by composer Lawrence Wright. Virgil Fox closed the program on that night as he would tonight, performing the “Second Hungarian Rhapsody” by Franz Liszt on both occasions. The piece has a dramatic beginning, is a real crowd pleaser that Fox loved to play, and Miss Farwell loved having him finish a recital with it. Just two years later the music would find its way to the silver screen in Walt Disney’s “The Opry House,” an animated cartoon, and then find a life of its own in countless animated films to follow.

I’ll have the rest of the story of Grace Farwell and Richard Widmark the next time you find me in this column. I do this because I like the writing, creating the images and the research.

I hope to turn it all into a book and would love some feedback.

I’m not on the BCR payroll, so some feedback really helps.

If you have any tales of Richard Widmark from you or your family, I would love to hear from you.

Tigresses blast Mendota; advance to finals

By Jeff Schlesinger sports@bcrnews.com

BYRON — It was a pair of freshmen who led the Princeton Tigresses soccer team to a quick start as it soundly defeated Mendota 11-0 in the regional semifinals Wednesday, May 11, to advance to the finals against host school Byron.

Freshman forward Kiley Schenck led the way with a first-half hat trick, scoring two of the first three goals as well as the sixth one. Freshman outside midfielder Lauren McMillan added a goal and two assists to put them up 4-0 as the Tigresses put the game away in the first half.

“We work well throughout the whole entire field, and everything leading BCR photo/Jeff Schlesinger up to (the 18 yard line) Princeton junior Sarah Murray battles Mendota’s Sabrina is really, really good,” Valdez during the regional semifinal at Byron on Wednesday. Schenck said. “I just hap-

LASALLE — Hailey Schultz has parlayed her first season in high school track with a trip to the IHSA State Finals.

The Princeton High School senior, who played softball her first three years in school, placed second at Thursday’s 2A sectional at LaSalle. Her jump of 17-0 1/4, a personal best, was also good enough to eclipse the state-qualifying standard of 16-11 1/2. She becomes the fifth girl in PHS track history to jump over 17 feet in the long jump and the sixth to qualify for state.

“It was nice to get a state qualifier. We were living on the edge coming into the meet with no one having met a 2A qualifying standard in any event, but Hailey came through and gave us all a sigh of relief in the preliminary round of the long jump,” PHS coach Pat Hodge said.

Shay Scheri of L-P took first place with a jump of 17-1 1/2.

PHS junior Taylor Weatherington placed fifth in the pole vault with a personal best 6-7. Hodge said she was able to overcome a “freakish little miscue” on her first attempt of the night and cut her leg a little bit on the pole, by making her next attempt at 6-1 and then her first attempt at 6-7.

Host L-P qualified three relays and three individuals.

Mendota freshman Abby Phalen won the triple jump (32-11 3/4) and senior teammate Elizabeth Willis took second in the discus (117-1).

Aurora Rosary beat out city rival Aurora Central Catholic 134-76 for the team championship. L-P was third with 72 points.

Hailey Schultz qualified for the state track meet in the long jump after going 17 feet, one-fourth of an inch at Thursday’s 2A sectional track meet at LaSalle.

State From Page 9A as the foursome won the 4x100 (50.95) and 4x200 (1:46.93) meter relays.

“I’ve been running state qualifying times the whole season so I wasn’t as nervous as I have been in the past,” Zimmerlein said.

“We improved our times in our relays tonight so I’m excited I get to have my teammates come down to Charleston with me.”

Zimmerlein will be joined by more than just her relay teammates as junior Megan Grady qualified for state with a second place (11:52.53) finish behind Bureau Valley’s Haley Weidner, who clocked in a winning time of 11:49.54 in the 3200.

“It’s exciting, especially since last year I went in the (3200) relay and this year I’m going in an individual event (3200) and I have to approach it different. I’m excited for the competition,” Weidner said.

Amboy-LaMoille’s Erin Hosto will compete in two events. She turned in a winning 800 time of 2:27.61 and also anchored the first place 4x400 team of Boers, Corcoran, Madeline Foster and Hosto.

Hall’s Madi Quinn will take her third trip to Charleston as she qualified for the third straight year in the pole vault (10-

4) and will also be competing in the 100-meter high hurdles for the first time as she qualified with a time of 16.54.

“I’m so excited to go back to Charleston. It’s so much fun. You get to meet new people, compete against different teams and have bonding time with your team,” Quinn said.

She will be joined by teammates Kaelyn Hamalle, who punched her ticket in the 400meter dash with a time of 1:02.38, and Tanja Acamovic in the 300-meter low hurdles with a time of 49.75, which was good enough for second place to Putnam County’s Olivia Lawley (48.97) to pace the field.

BV freshman Saige Barnett placed second in the discus (107-09.00) and fifth in the shot put (38-10.00), but still threw well enough to join threeevent athlete Addison Moreland. Moreland qualified in the triple jump with a third place jump of 33-07.99 and also ran fourth place qualifying times with her teammates Marissa Endress, Marissa Mungia and Tiana Kennedy in the 4x100 (51.89) and 4x200 (1:50.56) meter relays.

St. Bede Academy’s lone qualifier came from firsttime state qualifier Zoe Postula with a jump of 5-01.00.

“It feels nice because it

feels like the last four years have paid off. For the last four years I’ve been working on this and working on that. It was really nice for it all to come together,” Postula said.

The Kewanee Boiler girls (86) edged out Amboy-LaMoille (78). BV finished fourth overall (56) barely squeaking by Hall with 53.

– their confidence is sky high.”

The freshmen may have begun the onslaught against the Trojans, but junior Sarah Murray put the game away, finding the goal in the 27th, 33rd and 34th minute as well as the team’s only second-half goal.

Murray said she has never scored four goals in a single game. Murray’s second goal was assisted by her younger sister, Anna.

“It’s always really cool to combine with Anna,” Sarah said. “We have a connection I don’t have with anyone else.”

It took nearly 20 minutes for the Tigresses to score

its first goal. But once the ice was broken, the goals came quick and often.

The first half ended with a 10-0 Princeton lead which meant the time of the second half was cut in half and the clock ran continuously.

“It felt really good to beat Mendota,” said Sarah, who experienced an upset loss to them in the first round last year. “We know they lost a few players, but we lost players, too. It feels really good to beat them – to come back and show them what we can do.”

Young was thrilled with his team’s performance.

“We pull the threat from eight players,” he said. “We have eight legit players that have seven goals or above.

The attack comes from any part of the field at any time.”

In addition to the goals

by Schenck (3), Murray (4) and McMillan (1), sophomore Kaitlyn May and freshman Vicki Tieman also added goals. Goals were assisted by Michaela Mall, McMillan (2), Anna Murray (2), Jenna Grimmer and Michaela Strom.

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the game is that the Tigresses won by 11 even though their leading scorer, junior Mall, only recorded a single assist on the evening.

The Tigresses face Byron on Saturday, May 14, for the privilege to advance to the sectional at Genoa-Kingston next week. The Tigresses look to take its first regional title since the 2012 season.

Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me, herein you are my Mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power.

Oh show me herein you are my Mother. Oh, Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse in thee (3x) Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instance in my life you are with me.

I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. After 3 days the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted SLC

2016 NOTICE OF BUREAU COUNTY DISABLED VETERAN EXEMPTION Disabled Veterans who have a ServiceConnected Disability of 30% or more in 2016, and who own and reside in their home are eligible for the Standard Homestead Exemption for Veterans with Disabilities, from their assessment for their real estate tax bill. Applications are available at the Bureau County Assessor’s Office and must be accompanied by a copy of your deed and a current letter of your service connected disability with your percentage included.

Beginning in tax year 2007 and after, this exemption is an annual reduction in equalized assessed value on the primary residence occupied by a qualified veteran with a disability. This veteran with a disability must own or lease a single family residence and be liable for payment of property taxes. The property’s total EAV must be less than $250,000 after subtracting any portion used for commercial purposes. The amount of the exemption depends on the percentage of the service-connected disability as certified by the United States Department of Veterans’ Affairs. A qualified veteran with a service-connected disability of at least 30% but less than 50% will receive a $2,500 reduction in EAV; if the veteran has a service-connected disability of 50% but less than 70%, the annual exemption is $5,000; and if the veteran has a service-connected disability of 70% or more, the residential property is exempt from taxation.

NOTE: An un-married surviving spouse of a veteran who was disabled and is now deceased can continue to receive this exemption on his or her spouse’s primary residence, or transfer this exemption to another primary residence after the original primary residence of a veteran with a disability is sold, provided this exemption had previously been granted to the veteran with a disability.

The surviving spouse must occupy and hold legal or beneficial title to the primary residence on January 1 of the assessment year and submit a Form PTAX-342, Application for the Standard Homestead Exemption for Veterans with Disabilities, available from your local assessment office, to transfer this exemption to themselves.

Beginning in tax year 2015 (property taxes payable in 2016), an un-married surviving spouse of a veteran killed in the line of duty will be eligible for 100% reduction in the EAV on his/her primary residence, even if the veteran did not previously qualify for or obtain the SHEVD. For a single tax year, the property cannot receive this exemption and the Veterans with Disabilities Exemption for Specially Adapted Housing or the Homestead Exemption for Person with Disabilities.

Should you have any questions, you may contact the Bureau County Assessor’s Office.

Cornerstone Community Wellness to celebrate one-year anniversary Continues to have plans for the future SHEFFIELD — Three thousand, two hundred, eighty-five — that’s the number of hours logged by volunteers at Cornerstone Community Wellness in Sheffield throughout the last year.

The non-profit wellness center will be celebrating its one-year anniversary this month, and the services it provided last year are vast.

Staffed mainly by volunteers, Cornerstone is home to a fitness center, Bible studies, nutrition and fitness classes, recovery groups, a farmers’ market and free child care.

Cornerstone Executive Director Elizabeth Pratt said she is proud of the volunteers and the success stories.

“This is the first time many of our members have had the opportunity to join a gym or participate in a class or group that allows them to take care of all aspects of their health. We are so happy to give them that opportunity and know that by caring for themselves, they can better care for others in the community,” Pratt said, adding the goal of Cornerstone is to break down

Children enjoy activities in Cornerstone’s free child care center, while their parents exercise or participate in other services. barriers that impede healthy living.

The barriers she refers to include cost (the fitness center is just $10 a month, and almost all the services are free) and child care (free during scheduled hours).

Looking forward to next year, Pratt tells of plans to expand the fitness center to 24-hour service.

“We are always looking to widen our reach, and this move is anticipated to bring in an additional 60 memberships and increase opportunities for our current 120 members. We are starting to fund raise and are hopeful that we can find a group of donors to make 24-hour fitness a reality, while keeping our membership costs low,”

Pratt said.

Cornerstone is open to all in Sheffield and the surrounding areas. It is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization.

The facility will be celebrating its one-year anniversary on May 21 with tours and refreshments. You can find out more information on services or to donate by visiting ccwell.org.

We say …

Many of the district’s top high school graduates choose IVCC first In the past 8 years, 76 of the region’s valedictorians, salutatorians and top 2% students picked IVCC for quality instruction, first-class facilities, cost and convenience.
