A budget balancing act Celebrating the arts at PES

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton Elementary School District has been

left at a loss in both finances and staff.

Princeton Elementary Superintendent Tim Smith presented an amended budget to the school board. He said the amended budget will sit for 30 days for review before its final approval.

Smith said the main differences in this budget and the original was the

removal of the $2 million in bonds the board was not forced to pursue and the cut in money which will be received from the county.

He explained every year the district will receive a certificate of extension from the county courthouse indicating the amount of money the district will receive from the

taxpayers. This amount is usually extraordinarily accurate, he said. However, he added, the last two years it has not been.

Adjustments made to local entities and their property taxes have led to a loss of revenue for the district. In all the funds, the budget adjustment has impacted the district by more than $100,000, said

Smith.

The good news is the district may be able to make up some money in the unrestricted funds, but it wouldn’t be much.

Smith said money lost in the budget’s unrestricted funds totaled $32,708.

Smith explained the loss of money from the county at this point has left the school with a loss of gener-

al state aid as well. Where under usual circumstances money lost from the county would be made up by general state aid, in this circumstance, it will not be. Since the state is working off an inflated number, the general state aid is lower than it should be, he added.

Enjoy a relaxing day of art, food, fun and more

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Local artists and art enthusiasts will come together for a fun, relaxing day at Art in the Park to be held on Saturday, June 6, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Soldiers and Sailors Park.

This will be the second year for the new event,

which is spearheaded by Gina Nelson of Princeton.

She explained this event used to be led by local artist Bart Kassabaum a while back, until it ceased. Nelson decided to pick it up again to give local artists an opportunity to display and sell their handmade items.

“There hasn’t been any event like this on the south end of Princeton,

and the park is a beautiful place. I loved it when I used to take my stuff to it when Bart was doing the event. It was always a very relaxing and cool event,” she said.

Nelson said last year’s event was very well attended, and she hopes the community will once again come out and show support for their local artists.

“It is always nice to have activity in your town — even if it’s small activity,” she said.

There will be a variety of

art mediums to view and purchase. Anything from pottery, jewelry, painting,

Inviting the Monarchs to Echo Bluff Daisy Troop 1668 creates habitat for butterflies SPRING VALLEY — The Daisy Girl Scout Troop 1668 visited Echo Bluff Park on Wednesday, May 20, and planted milkweed plants for the Monarch butterflies.

The milkweed is the o n l y plant t h e Monarchs w i l l lay their eggs on, and that caterpillars which turn into Monarchs can eat.

In an attempt to save the Monarch butterfly population, which has been on the decline since 1996, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources has been promoting the statewide campaign, Monarch Mania.

Since 1996, due to herbicides and pesticides on milkweed plants, there has

been an 88 percent decline in the Monarch population. The IDNR is very interested in changing the decline, as Monarchs were named the state’s insect in 1975.

The Daisy Girl Scout Troop are kindergarten students, yet they played an important role in helping the Mona r c h problem, said Jan Martin, park manager at Echo Bluff Park.

The park has created a Monarch butterfly rest area, which is home to many milkweed plants and will welcome home the Monarch butterflies, which migrate to Mexico during winter months.

The park’s project is in response to a plea by Charlie Lamb, a trustee of Hall Township, who brought back milkweed seeds from a state meeting.

Adventures with old probate records PRINCETON — The regular monthly meeting of the Bureau County Genealogical Society will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 28, at the Society library at 629 S. Main St. in Princeton.

The program for the evening will feature Michael Walter of Kansas, who is a volunteer for FamilySearch. Michael and his wife, Viola, are currently working on a two-year project to photograph the probate and naturalization records at the Bureau County Courthouse. They most recently contributed to the digitization of records at the Mercer County Courthouse.

The records being photographed here involve the time period between 1837 to 1929. More and more county governments are realizing the value of digitally preserving records such as these in order to ensure against fire or other disasters and are accepting the offer from FamilySe-

Michael Walter arch to do this at no charge to the county. The Bureau County Circuit Clerk will be receiving a digital copy of the local records, and they will also appear on the FamilySearch website as free browseable records.

The program title for the evening is “Adventures With Probate Records.”

Walter, through a PowerPoint presentation, will guide the audience to understand the typi-

cal contents of probate records and their value to genealogical research.

Some local examples of unusual finds will be highlighted. They will also show a 10-minute video of the storage facility at Granite Mountain near Salt Lake City, Utah, and will describe the process by which they image and store probate records.

The public is invited to attend this free program, meet the Walters and learn more about probate records. For further information, anyone may contact the BCGS at 815879-3133 during normal hours of operation, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

The research library is also open the first Saturday of each month.

This courthouse project also offers an opportunity for volunteers to be involved by unfolding and refolding documents to be photographed.

Reuniting residents with assets, mementos $12 million available from Bureau, LaSalle, Putnam counties SPRINGFIELD — Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs’ staff will be in Spring Valley on Thursday, May 28, and Princeton on Thursday, June 4, to help reunite citizens with unclaimed property through the I-Cash program.

In Bureau, LaSalle and Putnam counties, an estimated 60,000 people have unclaimed cash or property being safeguarded by the Illinois State Treasurer’s Office. The value exceeds $12 million. Statewide, the treasurer secures

more than $2 billion in unclaimed cash and property.

“Jewelry, coins and family mementos tucked away in a safe deposit box are common examples of items that we hold for safe keeping as we try to locate the proper owners,” Frerichs said. “These items do not belong to the state and should be returned to their rightful owners.”

Rep. Frank Mautino and Sen. Sue Rezin invited the I-Cash Unclaimed Property team to the Richard A. Mautino Library from 3

Logan Junior High School literature and English teacher Christie Lucas displayed the various art projects which complimented the lessons taught in her classroom.

PES From Page 1 “Everything happened the way it’s supposed to happen, other than the fact that we need communication to ISBE (Illinois State Board of Education), so that they can recalculate our general state aid,” said Smith.

In other business, for a teacher who grades by effort, educator Sarah Scott has earned herself an A++ in her final year at Logan Junior High School.

“You took a tough situation, a less than desirable situation, and made it very, very positive for us.

And our kids are obviously benefiting as a district,” said Smith to Scott.

After the applications programs were cut last year, Scott and fellow Logan Junior High School educators opted to push for a final year of art for their students. According to the Logan administration, Scott may be retiring, but she’s going out with a bang and a big success.

No longer able to teach in a classroom, Scott traveled from class to class with art on a cart. Working with the teachers of each classroom Scott developed art projects to complement the subjects and studies of particular classroom lessons.

Logan Junior High School art instructor Sera Scott (front) discussed the various art projects constructed to compliment in-the-classroom lessons at Logan. For Scott’s last year at Logan she traveled from class to class with art on a cart to help students visualize and comprehend what they were learning. Assistant Principal Lynette Bima thanked Scott and complimented the great effort and impact Scott has had at Logan. of creative and interactive classroom projects.

Students and teachers both testified to the great success of these new methods. Art on a cart in the classrooms helped the learning and overall enjoyment of lessons at the school, said Logan Assistant Principal Lynette Bima. She said students enjoyed the project aspect of learning and the ability to visualize what they were studying.

“They all are artists, and they all develop differently; the thing is I grade on effort. It’s how hard you try for me,” said Scott.

Examples of the many and various classroom

inspired art projects ware set up for display at the Monday, May 18, school board meeting. Board members expressed great appreciation for the projects and the hard work of the Logan staff.

“This is actually a result of that, not because we gave them more to do with, we actually gave them less. This was the hard work and creativity of Sarah and the junior high teachers to take a difficult situation and create a wonderful opportunity for children. So, I couldn’t be any prouder,” Smith said.

Trio plead guilty to residential burglary PRINCETON — Three individuals pleaded guilty to the Class 1 felony offense of residential burglary in the Bureau County Courthouse.

Daniel Reeves, 34, of Peru, Kelsi Potochney, 19, and Nathan McIntyre, 18, both of Princeton were placed on TASC probation for a period of five years and ordered to serve six months in the Bureau County Jail and pay fines, fees and costs of $732.

The three individuals were ordered to attend alcohol and drug counseling and periodic drug testing.

The three cases were presented before Judge C.J. Hollerich and prosecuted by State’s Attorney Geno Caffarini. Reeves was represented by Public Defender Michael Henneberry. Potochney was represented by Assistant Public Defender Eric May and McIntyre was represented by Assistant Public Defender Bradley Popurella.

On Feb. 25, Reeves, Potochney and McIntyre broke into the home of a Princ-

eton resident and took a Samsung Galaxy tablet and an Xbox. The owner of the home came home to find the window to her back door broken. When the owner of the home went inside, she noticed the Samsung tablet and Xbox were missing.

The owner of the home contacted the Princeton Police Department, and Investigator John Shofner contacted the local pawn shops and discovered McIntyre and Reeves were observed through video surveillance pawning the Samsung tablet taken from the home. Shofner recognized McIntyre and interviewed him along with Potochney. Potochney and McIntyre admitted to burglarizing the residence with Reeves.

In the event the three individuals fail to comply with any of the conditions of their TASC probation, a petition to revoke probation can be filed, and they could be re-sentenced anywhere from four to 15 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Richard Widmark: A Princeton legend

Republican

Serving Bureau County Since 1847

Shame on us ...

I’ve never actually kept a tally of all the people I’ve interviewed and all the stories I’ve written for this newspaper, as well as any of our other Shaw papers, special sections, magazines, etc. A conservative estimate would be thousands and thousands. Looking back, I now wish I would have kept a list of the people I’ve interviewed, the subject matter and the dates. I have to think it would be fun to go back and review especially the names of folks who have touched my life. And without question ... most all of those I’ve interviewed have touched me in one way or another.

Without question, though, the stories I’ve covered that have impacted me most Terri Simon are those focusing on our nation’s veterans. While all stories are important, I have a real soft spot for those military men and women who have allowed me to share their stories with you. It’s been an honor to tell you of their varying accounts of their dedication to our country. I always leave those interviews feeling proud to be an American — and obliged to deliver their messages to you, our readers, in the best manner possible. It’s an obligation I take very seriously.

I’ve spoken with veterans from World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, the Middle East conflicts and more ... I sit wide-eyed as they tell me of their experiences. I have been truly moved by their words, as they take steps back in time to relive the moments that have ultimately impacted and most often changed their lives.

I’ve felt my chin tremble right along with their chins; my eyes have filled with tears as their tears run down their cheeks, only to be quickly brushed away by both of us. I’ve laughed with them when they tell me some of their wartime antics. And I’ve found myself shaking my head in disbelief and swallowing hard as they tell of devastating moments in their military careers.

While each person I’ve interviewed has had different experiences, almost without exception the interview will take a turn that has forever changed me ... but not half as much as it has changed them. It’s during these moments when all I can do is sit quietly, write quickly ... and hope I can convey their messages with the same emotions that live in their own hearts. These moments happen when the person I’m interviewing begins to talk about the buddies he/she served with — especially the ones who didn’t make it home.

I see a faraway look in their eyes — perhaps reliving the moments for the umpteenth time, as they tell me of buddies who had become close friends who gave the ultimate sacrifice. They were strangers from all parts of our great country, but they came together on the battlefield to protect and serve. Those once strangers became friends — dear friends who were as close as family — brothers, comrades. Men and women who literally died for us, for each other, so that we could continue to live in the home of the free and the brave.

The people I’ve interviewed who lost a buddy in the war seem to glaze over a bit, while I assume it is a coping mechanism to deal with grief that probably never goes away. They wonder why their buddy was killed and they survived. Guilt enters the equation sometimes. It is a cross they will continue to bear for the rest of their lives. Again, I feel honored and humbled they are willing to share with me ... and me with you.

Monday is Memorial Day — a day to honor those brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for each one of us. Memorial Day services will be held all around the county; I believe every town has something planned.

Shame on us if we can’t take a few minutes out of our busy schedules to pay tribute to those men and women who died for each of us. Shame on us if we can’t place our hands over our hearts while “Taps” is being played. And shame on us if we don’t salute our veterans who carry more in their memories and hearts than most of us will ever realize ...

The first announcement of recruiting stations to be set up in Bureau County was in May 1940. In September , males between the ages of 21 and 35 had to register with the Selective Service for the draft.

Gail and Max Caster complied with the new law set forth by President Roosevelt, as did Richard and Donald Widmark.

Max Castner enlisted in the U.S. Army on April 17, 1941. Gail Castner enlisted in the Army Air Corps Reserve. Donald Widmark joined the ranks of the Army Air Corps in California, while across the country in New York City, brother Richard Widmark wants to do his patriotic duty also but is turned down.

On the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy conducted a surprise military air strike on the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The attack led to the United States’ entry into World War II. Private First Class Max Castner (ASN 36027208), now of the U.S. Army infantry at Camp Forrest, Tenn., decides he would rather spend his service time in the air instead of on the ground. He takes a test to be a pilot in the Army Air Corps. He passes the test and is sent to Aloe Field, Victoria, Texas, where he completed the exhaustive training program to be a pilot. He was commissioned a second lieutenant on June 26, 1943, transferred to Clovis, N.M., on July 16, and then to Salina, Kan., in August.

The Air Corps’ pilot training program was accelerated at such a incredible rate that civilian contractors were selected to operate a large number of newly-established primary flying schools, and eventually secondary schools on existing campuses, hiring civilian flight instructors.

Gail Castner, training in Chicago in the Army Air Corps Enlisted Reserve, would be one of those civilian flight instructors.

By the middle of 1942, there were more than 50 such schools in Illinois alone, established at the existing campuses, as close as LaSalle-Peru-Oglesby Junior College or as far away as Parks Air College, East St. Louis.

Nationwide, there were more than 435,000 men and women taught to fly under the Civilian Pilot Training Program at 1,132 colleges and 1,460 flight schools. The U. S. Government would loan aircraft to the civilian

schools.

Richard Widmark, trying to answer his country’s call, is turned down three different times when he tries to enlist for military service. Richard Widmark moved to New York in 1938, determined to be an actor. He made his radio debut in “Aunt Jenny’s Real Life Stories” that same year, and by the early 1940s was heard regularly in such network programs as “Gang Busters,” “Inner Sanctum Mysteries” and “Mystery Theater.” He was on “Suspense” for CBS Radio in 1940, had the lead in “Front Page Farrell” for Mutual Radio in 1941, did “Mr. & Mrs. North” for NBC Radio in 1942, and “Mystery Theater”” plus “The Thin Man” for NBC Radio in 1943. He was on the stage starring in “Kiss and Tell” at the Biltmore Theater for 962 performances and “Get Away Old Man” at the Cort Theater for 13 performances, both in 1943. He was becoming a success in a career that would only get more successful.

He would have no success though, trying to get into military service. He was rejected three times because of a perforated eardrum.

“It’s actually more than perforated” said Widmark. “I have a hole in my head (said with a laugh, though he was serious). I go every three months to have it drained.”

During his acting career in the movies, his doctor in California would send him to ear specialists all over the world while on various film locations out of the country. To try and do his part, he was a stateside air raid warden and entertained hundreds of servicemen under the auspices of the “American Theatre Wing” during the war years. He would thrill and enter-

tain audiences during his film career in movies like “Halls of Montezuma” (1950), “The Frogmen” (1951), “Destination Gobi” (1953), “Take the High Ground” (1953), “A Prize of Gold” (1955), “Time Limit” (1957), “Judgment at Nuremberg” (1961), and “Flight from Ashiya” (1964), as close to the military life as he would get.

Ninety-one bombers from the U.S. 8th Air Force, a combined squadron of B-24 Liberators and B-17 Flying Fortresses, brought about the first American airstrike inside Germany on Jan. 27, 1943. Fifty-five of the B-17s made a daring daylight raid on the submarine bases at Wilhelmshaven, a coastal town in Lower Saxony, Germany.

All of the aircraft were able to return to base.

Gail Castner was training as a student at the Army Air Corps School in Chicago on that same day.

He was learning to fly and training to become a civilian flight instructor, but he would not quite make it back to base on that day after taking to the air.

The successful completion of pilot training was a difficult as well as a dangerous task. During the four and one-half year period of January 1941 to August 1945, there were 191,654 cadets who were awarded pilot wings. On the down side, there were also 132,993 who “washed out” or were killed during training, a loss rate of approximately 40 percent due to accidents, academic or physical problems, and other causes.

Those who graduated from flying school were usually assigned to transition training in the type of plane they were to fly in combat. That would require two months of additional training before

a pilot was considered ready for combat or to teach someone to be.

The temperature was somewhere around freezing, visibility was not very good, and there was plenty of snow on the ground on Jan. 27, 1943, in Chicago. Gail Castner was flying at 5,000 feet in a Fairchild trainer. These were not the desired flying conditions, but we were at war, and pilots were needed now.

Gail was doing just fine, he thought, even with the intermittent snow flurries, until his plane developed mechanical problems, quite possibly due to the weather, and he had to make a forced landing of sorts.

He thought it was the ground coming at him, with the limited visibility, but he came down a little sooner than planned, on top of a building. Gail had luck with him that day and would not be a part of that 40 percent.

He walked away with only facial lacerations and minor injuries, but with his life intact. Maybe the large accumulation of snow had cushioned the impact. Gail went on to complete his training in Chicago and headed to the Farm Campus of the University of Minnesota in St. Paul. Doris and daughter, Tamara, are living in Wedron, Ill., while Gail continued his training in St. Paul. It was the middle of July when he was again transferred, this time to Randolph Field in Schertz, Texas, about 15 miles from San Antonio, where he would take a two-month course in primary pilot instructing. He would be with the Student Instructor Detachment in barracks T-82. His family is living nearby in Dallinger, Texas.

In June 1941, the Air Corps had been incorporated into the Army Air Forces. The Army Air Forces Central Instructors School (CIS) was created at Randolph Field in March 1943. For the next two years, training instructors for ground schools, instructor pilots (including civilian contract instructors) for all three phases of flying training, and officers destined for administrative duties at air training command bases were trained by the CIS. This is where Gail Castner would be a part of the war effort as a civilian flight instructor in the Army Air Corps Reserve for the duration of the war.

That old adage that truth is stranger than fiction will be decidedly laid out with the rest of the story of the younger brothers, Donald Widmark and Max Castner.

Make sure you have your parachute, be ready for action, and I’ll keep checking the rear view mirror for more Richard Widmark.

Young Eagles Flight Rally scheduled for May 30 PERU — Area young people ages 8-17 will have a chance to take to the skies for free from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 30, as the Illinois Valley Flying Club, along with Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 129 and the Civil Air Patrol, host a Young Eagles Flight Rally at Illinois Valley Regional Airport in Peru.

The rally is part of the EAA Aviation Foundation’s Young Eagles Program, created to get more young people interested in aviation. Volunteer pilots have provided airplane rides to more than 1.9 million young people since its inception in 1992.

“Giving the free plane rides to these young people is as much fun for us as pilots as it is for the kids,” said Chuck Studer, spokesman for the event.

“We look at it as giving a new generation a chance to learn more about the possibilities that exist in the world of aviation.

When we see some of these young people come back a few years later and learn to fly, either as the beginning of a career, or just for fun, that’s pretty exciting.”

Pilots at the event will also explain more about their airplanes, allowing young people to discover how airplanes work and how pilots ensure safety is the prime concern before

every flight.

After the flight, each young person will receive a certificate making them an official Young Eagle.

Their name will then be entered into the “World’s Largest Logbook,” which is on permanent display at the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wis. The logbook, as well as additional information about Young Eagles, is also accessible on the Internet at www.youngeagles.com.

Parent or guardian permission is required for flight. For more information, visit www.illinoisvalleyflyingclub.com or call 815-223-2003. The airport is at 4241 Ed Urban Drive, Peru.

I-READ program will offer free volunteer tutor training sessions OGLESBY — The I-READ Adult Literacy Program at Illinois Valley Community College will conduct free volunteer tutor training sessions in June.

Volunteers must have a desire to work with adult learners and be willing to tutor two to three hours each week, but volunteers do not need to have teaching experience. Fifteen hours of training is required for all volunteer tutors.

The four required training sessions will be from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 2, Thursday,

June 4, Tuesday, June 9, and Thursday, June 11, in Room CTC-221 at IVCC. After completing the training, tutors are matched with learners age 17 or older who test below the ninth-grade level or who need to improve their English language skills.

Volunteers may choose to tutor in one-to-one sessions at a local library or in an Adult Education classroom at IVCC or at an extension site within the IVCC district.

Free online tutor training is another option for volunteers whose sched-

ules do not allow them to participate in the June training sessions. For information on the I-READ program, go to http:// www.ivcc.edu/adulted.

To register for the training sessions, contact Angela Dunlap, I-READ program manager, at 815224-0372 or Chris Warren, I-READ literacy specialist, at 815-224-0345. This project is made possible by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library, a division of the Office of Secretary of State, using funds designated for literacy.

Prairie Arts Council announces summer drama camp registration PRINCETON — The Prairie Arts Council is announcing registration for the 13th annual children’s summer drama camp for children entering grades 2-9.

Camp runs for three hours, Monday through Friday, for two weeks.

Camp will run June 8-19, with one session from 9 a.m. to noon and an afternoon camp from 2 to 5 p.m.

The camp cost is $85 with special rates for siblings.

Need-based scholarships are also available upon request for those who meet the criteria.

Each camp session culminates in the performance (noon and 5 p.m. on Friday, June 19) of an original play written specifically for the campers and, to a large extent, tailored to the needs and abilities of the campers. Campers in each session of camp name their own production. Children

get the hands on experience of creating a show, from set and light work to costuming to performing.

Past theater-learning topics have included theatrical accents, sets, Shakespeare, costuming, stage makeup, mime, choreography for the stage, stage lighting and design, musical theater and opera. Camp activities also include theater and improvisational games like you might see on the television show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” and good, old fashioned “camp” games like Telephone. Snacks are served daily.

“Children’s theater programming at PAC has always been about more than just theater skills,” said David Gorenz, PAC theatre director. “We strive to offer a safe, wholesome environment in which children can learn, grow, and have fun. Over the many years that we have run the

summer drama camps as well as other children’s drama programming, we have been privileged to witness the transformation of many of our children from ducklings to beautiful, talented swans. Fostering the growth of our community’s children is the greatest benefit of PAC children’s theater programming.”

To register, contact camp director Rachel Gorenz at 815-876-6284 or hildigard@ hotmail.com. Payment is expected by Monday, June 1. Checks should be made payable to The Prairie Arts Council. A phone call or email must be made in order the register (do not send a check and registration form without calling or emailing first).

Checks and registration forms (available at www. theprairieartscouncil.com) can be returned to: Rachel Gorenz, 1009 S. Main St., Princeton, IL 61356.

Rejuvenate Your Look

this Summer

Learning Stage returns this summer PRINCETON — Learning Stage, the education committee of Princeton Theatre Group, is offering a two-week summer day camp, which will provide youth from grades kindergarten-12 the opportunity to experience and participate in live performances, while immersing themselves in the many aspects of bringing a show into production.

The camp is being mounted in cooperation with Festival 56, which this summer marks its 12th season of bringing outstanding professional theater to local audiences. Camp 56 returns for its fifth consecutive year of providing a theater-based camp for young people.

The camp will be held weekdays from June 15-26. Camp director Lisa Gadomski will engage campers in a series of funfilled activities including song, dance, make-up, costuming and visits to and with festival sets, cast and crew. The culmination of their camp experience will be their on-stage appearance — as part of the chorus ensemble — in several performances of the Festival 56 production of Gypsy.

The camp fee is $100 per child. Need-based scholarships are available as are family discounts. Registration forms are available at the festival box office which is open from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Fridays and Sat-

Fredericks moves up at PHS

Tigresses will remember this one

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — It’s been so long ago, PHS seniors Danielle Hughes and Abby Jaques didn’t remember the Tigresses softball team winning a regional ballgame. But they did know how to celebrate.

The Tigresses scored four runs in the top of the seventh inning to rally for a comefrom-behind 7-6 victory St. Bede Wednesday, May 20, at Little Siberia Field, capped

by Hughes RBI hit to put the Tigresses on top. It was the Tigresses’ first postseason win since Hughes and Jaques’ freshman season in 2012 when PHS beat Kewanee 11-6 at Hall.

“It was a team effort. We didn’t give up.

St. Bede probably thought they had it when they got ahead of us 6-3. We came back to the dugout and said we’re not giving up,” Hughes said. “It means a lot for us as a team. We’ve been struggling this season, but I think since we’ve had position changes we’ve been working a lot better as a team.”

The Tigresses will take a 10-20 record into Saturday’s regional finals game at 1 p.m. at PHS, a couple hours after graduation.

Bureau Valley’s Lindsey Hoffert makes a splash in Thursday’s Class 1A State Track Prelims in Charleston. She is one of four area athletes to qualify for the 1A finals Saturday.

Four for the finals

By Patrick Mason Shaw Media Service

CHARLESTON — Regan Weidner found herself among the lead group of runners throughout the second heat of the 1,600-meters, but she didn’t feel like she belonged.

“My coach always wants me hanging around fifth place,” Weidner said. “It’s usually to keep me from burning all of my energy. I get antsy when I’m up in the pack, but it ended up working out this time.”

Weidner ran a strong time of 5:19.67, and hung on for a third-place finish in her heat at the Class 1A girls state track and field preliminaries at Eastern Illinois University on Thursday, May 21.

The race was won by Anna Sophia Keller, as the St. Anthony sophomore ran a blistering time of 4:59.76.

Keller, who won the 1,600 title last season, led by more than 50 meters in the final lap, and sprinted to cross the finish line under the 5-minute mark. She was greeted by a loud applause from the

Weidner hung with the next pack of runners and earned herself a spot in Saturday’s finals. The Storm’s top distance runner will also compete in the 3,200 on Saturday.

“I was expecting that out of (Keller),” Weidner said.

“She’s so good. When someone like that is in your heat, you can’t let it affect your gameplan. My goal was to get a 5:20, and I beat that.

I’m still want to get a 5:15 on Saturday, though.”

Thursday’s school announcements invited the Princeton boys basketball players to come meet the new Tigers basketball coach after school on Friday.

When they got there, the Mike new coach Fredericks was a familiar face.

Sophomore coach Michael Fredericks was introduced as the new varsity coach. He has been on the PHS coaching staff for seven years, three as a volunteer varsity assistant and the past four years as a head sophomore coach.

Fredericks, a science teacher at PHS, was excited to be offered the position. His hiring is subject to board approval on Wednesday, May 27.

According to BCR research, Fredericks will become the 21st coach in the history of Princeton boys basketball.

He is a 2008 graduate of Eureka College and a 2003 graduate of Lowpoint-Washburn High School.

Two area coaching vacancies were filled earlier this week. Putnam County named assistant coach Hared Sale as its new girls basketball coach. The 2008 PC graduate has been a sophomore coach for six years.

Sale succeeds James Barnett, who resigned from PC in April to take a teaching and coaching position at his hometown school, Camp Point Central.

The Kewanee School Board Monday hired Shaune Lewis as its new boys basketball coach.

The job came open when the school board elected to dismiss Steve Salisbury by a 6-1 vote in April.

Tigers, Storm bow out at Morrison

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

MORRISON — Princeton’s ace Jake Reinhardt hadn’t been able to pitch for more than a month because of an arm injury. He did his best to keep the Tigers in Thursday’s regional game vs. Three Rivers rival Sterling Newman.

Reinhardt took to the mound in the third inning, slowing down the Comets’ offense which had scored three runs in the first two innings.

He also drove in runs at the plate with one hit and a ground out.

But it wasn’t quite enough as the

Morrison 2A Regional Thursday’s semifinals Morrison 13, Bureau Valley 3 Newman 5, Princeton 4 Saturday’s finals Morrison (23-4) vs. Newman (16-9), 2 p.m.

Tigers went down in defeat 5-4, ending their season at 19-15. “ (A) 5-4 game, it was a good battle.

Matched them run for run right up until the last run,” PHS coach Tim Taylor said. “We weren’t sure how Jake was going to respond being out

for so long, and he did exactly what you’d expect Jake to do. He had a very good game. Couple things go in a different direction, and it falls our way.

“I’m very proud of the way these guys played and the way they finished the season.”

The first semifinal Thursday saw top-seeded Morrison top Bureau Valley 13-3.

The Tigers and Comets exchanged blows early in the game. Newman put one on the board in the first with the Tigers answering with Isaac

Princeton third baseman Hailey Schultz tags out St. Bede’s Brooke Tonozzi Wednesday at Little Siberia Field.

Tigresses From Page 15 “That was a great game.

All the credit to (PHS), that’s for sure,” St. Bede coach Mike Urbanski said.

The most optimistic PHS follower would have thoughts things looked bleak for the lower-seeded Tigresses as they took their at-bats in the top of the seventh inning as the visiting team on the scoreboard on their home field. Anyone who left early would have found out they missed the most excitement of the day.

Winning pitcher Alissa Holmbeck got the rally started with a lead-off walk in the seventh and went to third on Courtney Oeder’s double. Holmbeck scored on a passed ball to make the score 6-4.

Madison Menzel worked SBA pitcher Brianna Lau for a walk to bring up junior Julia Bauer, who drove the Brianna Lau pitch over the left fielder for a game-tying, tworun double, scoring both Oeder and Menzel. The littlest Tigresses had the biggest hit of the day.

“It felt really good, especially since I was struggling at the plate my earlier at-bats and felt good not to let my teammates down and keep the season going,” Bauer said.

That brought Hughes to the plate, who knew the outcome of the game might rest on her shoulders. She poked a pop just over the outstretched glove of SBA third baseman Brooke Tonozzi to bring courtesy runner Madi Cain racing home with the go-ahead run.

Hughes just wanted to keep it simple.

“I just thought, base hit,” said Hughes, who is known as “Lieutenant Dan” at PHS. “Base hit was the only thing running through my head, not a homer or anything, just get on base and move the runner, I wasn’t really happy with the hit when it went in the air, but it got behind her, so I was satisfied with it. ... That was memorable.”

Even though Hughes doesn’t remember her first

Princeton 2A Regional Wednesday’s semifinal Princeton 7, St. Bede 6 Saturday’s finals (1) Hall (24-6) vs. (3) Princeton (10-20), 1 p.m. regional win three years ago, this one was indeed memorable, sending the Tigresses to a rare celebration that saw each member looking for a teammate to jump into or hug.

“We stuck through it. The bottom half of the order kept us alive and did a lot of good things, and the kids pulled it out,” PHS coach Bob James said. “The last couple of practices they’ve been really loose, relaxed and having good camaraderie. I think that goes over in a game like this. They had each other’s back and it was good to see. Beginning of the year, we didn’t do that.”

The teams went backand-forth early in the game. St. Bede took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first with Maty Nowakowski hitting a RBI single past the third base bag.

Sophomore catcher Rachel Jensen got a hustle hit when she beat out a slow roller to second base as both Menzel (from third) and Hailey Schultz (from second) came in to score to tie the game at 2.

The Lady Bruins got one run back on a double by Julia Pohar and RBI liner

by Emily Draper.

Princeton used a Lady Bruin infield error to tie the game in the third on Oeder’s RBI liner to center field.

Tonozzi singled to lead off the bottom of the third, stole second, took third on a wild pitch and scored on Gabbie Morrow’s ground out to third to put the Lady Bruins up 4-3.

Pohar came through for the Lady Bruins again with a two-run single in the bottom of the sixth to put St. Bede ahead 6-3 and set the stage for Princeton’s heroics in the seventh.

The Lady Bruins had their chances in the seventh, but ran themselves out of the inning. Tonozzi hit a one-out single and Nowakowski dropped in a

single in front of Bauer, the right-fielder. Tonozzi hesitated at second base and was thrown out at third for the second out. With the tying run at second, Holmbeck retired Gabbie Morrow on a ground out to shortstop to send PHS into Saturday’s regional finals.

“It was a tough decision.

We hesitated, and that hurt us right there,” Urbanski said. The Lady Bruins, who bowed out at 10-18, made big strides, Urbanski said, adding, “We just have to keep battling and working in the offseason. If we can do that, we’ll be alright.”

The Tigresses will face a Hall team they have lost to twice in conference play, though much closer most recently with a 6-5 defeat in a suspended game stretched out over five days and nine innings.

“I think we have to play clean defense and we have to be disciplined at the plate,” James said. “They have a great pitcher (Adrianna Pikula), so we have to find our pitches and not chase hers. We need to execute better on base running and the small ball.

We didn’t bunt well, so we have to get better at that.”

Hall was an 11-0 winner over Annawan/Wethersfield Tuesday. Pikula had a perfect game going through four innings before coach Brian Holman, who stuck with his game plan, opted to pitch Rena Barroso to wrap up the game in the fifth inning.

• Tiger tales: The PHS seniors (Hughes, Jaques, Brittany Krohn, Devin Truedson and Liz Hendrix) will have an exciting day Saturday, receiving their diplomas during graduation starting at 10 a.m. at Bryant Field before taking the softball field at 1 p.m.

1/4 inches.

Also advancing were Hall sophomore Madi Quinn (pole vault) and Amboy/LaMoille’s Erika Zimmerlein (200).

Hoffert also ran on three relays, none of which qualified.

The Storm’s foursome of Addison Moreland, Marissa Mungia, Tiana Kennedy and Hoffert each ran on three relays, but they turned in a solid performance in the meet’s last race and made a late charge in the 1,600 relay to give themselves a shot at qualifying. They ended up missing the cut by 2 seconds.

Kennedy had a strong third leg and brought her team from sixth place to third, and Hoffert passed Sherrard’s Chelsey Crippen in the final 100 meters to take second place.

“We were upset we didn’t qualify in the [400] or [800] relays,” Kennedy said. “We all wanted to help each other out and give our best effort in this last race. We all rely on each other, and we didn’t want to let anyone down.”

Quinn is one of 14 vaulters to clear an even 10 feet, reaching the state finals for the first time.

She has a personal best of 10-3 which won the Bureau Valley Sectional.

Quinn failed to advance in the 100 hurdles, running a 16.52.

BV senior Regan Weidner qualified for Saturday’s finals in the 1,600 meters.

Zimmerlein, a junior from LaMoille running for the Clippers co-op, grabbed the last finals spot in the 200. She placed third in the first of four heats, and had to watch nervously as the other three heats went off.

But her time of 26.09 proved to be good enough.

Zimmerlein had a full slate of events.

She just missed out on advancing in the 100, and ran anchor legs on the Clippers’ 400 and 800 relays.

“I guess my other races were a warmup for this,” she said with a laugh.

Saturday’s finals should be interesting, as Hoffert, Weidner, Quinn and Zimmerlein vie for medals. For the two Bureau Valley seniors, this will be their final time competing in high school, and they hope to exit the blue track with hardware.

“I’m just going try not to think too hard,” Hoffert said. “There’s something mental with me.

I’m not going to think, and just go out and try to jump out of the pit. I’m going to shoot for something big.”

Marquette regional semifinals: St. Bede 7, Hall 0

Bruins go to ace in the hole

From Page 16 Salazar’s triple to the right-center fence to score Levi Bates.

Taylor joked he hadn’t seen Salazar run like that before.

“I had the oxygen over here for him,” Taylor said with a laugh.

In the second, Newman scored twice off Tiger starter Tanner Kuhne only to have the Tigers counter with two of their own.

Kuhne and Reilly Foes singled and scored on Jake Reinhardt’s double in the home half of the inning.

Down 5-3 in the bottom of the sixth, the Tigers made one last gasp.

Michael Camp was hit by a pitch, took second on an errant pick-off throw and went to third on a single by freshman Josh Reinhardt, who was making his varsity debut. The elder Reinhardt followed with a groundout to short to plate Camp to make it 5-4.

Newman ace Quincy Combs, who took over in the second inning to thwart the Tiger rally, set the side down in order, to preserve the win. He scattered three hits with no walks over 5.2 innings to notch the win.

Salazar led the Tigers at the plate with three hits.

Morrison’s Merik Kennedy (right) slides safely into second base as Bureau Valley’s Joshua Mead makes the tag Thursday. second, chasing Storm starter Josh Mead, and three more in the third to go up 10-3; the Storm never recovered.

The Storm (6-21-1) took a 2-1 lead in the top of the second on Drew Fordham’s RBI single and a fielder’s choice by Mead.

“I was happy with how we started; I thought if we could get a couple runs early, then play a little defense, our confidence would go through the roof,” first-year BV coach Dave Shepard said.

“But we’re not the kind of team that can afford to give up four or five outs in an inning, and that just made a huge difference in momentum.”

Dylan Martin led off the third with a double and scored on a sac fly by Gage Smith.

Martin led the Storm with two hits.

OTTAWA — Big games bring out the talents of big players, and St. Bede coach Bill Booker went with his big arm and it paid off. Junior starting pitcher Jarrett Olson was dominant on the mound, going the distance in St. Bede Academy’s 7-0 victory over their rival Spring Valley Hall in the Class 2A Marquette Regional semifinal play at Massinelli Field on Wednesday, May 20.

Olson went the distance with 11 strikeouts and held a no hitter into the sixth inning until Hall’s Tyler Taber took a two-out single to center field for the first of only two Hall hits.

“They are a whole different team when Olson is pitching,” Hall coach Tom Keegan said. “That guy, he can shut down a lot of people. It seemed like his curveball had pretty good bite to it tonight, it looked like his changeup was away and then brings in the fastball that sometimes kind of freezes you a little bit.

He’s good, and hats off to him.”

The victory sends the Bruins into showdown with the host Marquette Academy Crusaders at 2 p.m. Saturday for regional title hardware.

SBA threatened early loading the bases, but freshman hurler Ty Rybarczyk got himself out of the inning on a fly ball to right field by shortstop Nick Plankenhorn.

Right fielder Brady Booker took a hit-by-pitch on the first offering from Rybarczyk to start the second inning. After advancing to second on a passed ball and finally to third SB: Jaques 2. Sac: Truedson 2. Holmbeck (7 IP, 10 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 5 K, 0 BB).

on a balk, Booker came around to score on a single up the middle by catcher Nate Bartley.

After the shaky start by Rybarczyk, Keegan decided to pull the young pitcher with no outs in the second in favor of their ace, senior A.J. Gaeta.

“Ty had faced them a couple of weeks ago and threw very effective.

We were hoping for the element of surprise or whatever you want to call it, but we have a stable of arms this year and we probably could have picked anybody to start this game,” Keegan said.

Gaeta managed to keep the Bruins off the board until the fourth when another RBI single by Bartley scored Booker for a 2-0 lead.

Things started to fall apart for the Red Devils in the fifth and sixth innings as the Red Devils allowed five runs on just one hit over the two innings.

“They were very opportunistic tonight and the guys they got on, they found a way to get them in,” Keegan said.

Bartley came up big from the bottom half of the Bruin lineup going 2-for-4 with two singles and the game’s first two RBIs while Booker scored twice and reached base in all four of his at bats.

Hall’s Taber and Gaeta each went 1-for-3 on the day.

“We started off the regional playing a rival, and that’s a tough position to be in. I’m sure they felt the same way. We were conference co-champions and this was kind of the rubber game of the match,” SBA coac Bill Booker said.

St. Bede’s Brady Booker slides in at the plate for a Bruins’ run in their 7-0 win over Hall Wednesday at Masselini Field in Ottawa.

Hall’s successful year will be a springboard for a young and talented team in the years to come as they build on a season that will go into the books as one of the program’s finest. They end the year with a program best 23 wins and finished the season with a 23-7 overall record.

“This was kind of a feeling out process just because of the varying age levels that we had on the team.

As the season wore on they got more and more comfortable with each other it seemed liked and it translated into success on the field.

We had a good group of seniors to lead us, we had some talented juniors and then we had three freshmen that we couldn’t know if they could walk and chew gum. We randomly pulled them up. They’re here and they can play. They are a big part of our success.”

A busy time of year ...

Spring has sprung, and summer is right around the corner. I am about to finish my freshman year at LaMoille High School.

I have managed to stay very busy between school, staying involved in 4-H, and working on the farm, but I would not want it any other way.

I have been fortunate to be given the opportunity to be involved in FFA. This spring we have been working on livestock judging, and I was awarded first place at my sectional contest, second at Western Illinois University’s FFA invitational and then placed sixth at the state livestock judging contest.

Our FFA also had its plant sale here in early May, which we thought was successful along with planting our test plot. Along with FFA, I participated in Academic Bowl, band, choir and just finished up with baseball.

In 4-H I have been busy with the LaSalle County Livestock Judging Team. We attended five contests all of which we did very well at. With a month between our last contest and the Illinois State 4-H Livestock Judging, we have been working very hard with practices every week. We are lucky to have great livestock producers in our area that allow us to spend time on their farms judging their livestock, which helps prepare us for the state contest.

This is my second year giving reasons at the contests. In reasons I have to tell a selected person why I place a class of livestock the way I did.

Along with livestock judging, I have

Clay Sundberg COMMENTARY

been working on my show calves for different shows for the year. I get up in the morning with my dad at 6 a.m. to go out, tie up the calves, feed the calves and then let them go before we leave for school.

When my brothers and I get home from school, we go out and tie up the calves so that we can wash them, dry them and train their hair that way it looks its best in the show ring.

Then, after we finish washing them, we feed them and then turn them loose for the night. I am excited for the shows I am planning on going to this year. Some of them include the North Central Regional Simmental Show in Austin, Minn., the Section 2 FFA Fair, the 4-H Fair and the state fair, just to name a few.

Along with working on show calves, I have also helped out at the farm. I help with feeding all of the cows and calves around the farm, which is anything from helping weigh up feed to watching gates so nothing gets out while we are feeding. After feeding I help my dad walk through the cows and calves to make sure everyone is healthy.

You have maybe seen tractors out working in the fields planting or maybe even seen how the corn is starting to pop up through the

ground. We too have been out working in the fields as we now have all of our corn planted, and it is all up through the ground along with getting the planter switched over for beans. Right now we are just waiting for the right weather to get them planted.

I have been busy on the lawn mower, mowing yards along with helping get ready to put cows out on pasture for the summer by fixing fence and helping make sure the cows are in the right condition.

I spent most of the spring knee deep in mud helping my dad and uncles artificially inseminate the heifers and cows. This process allows us to breed our heifers and cows to specific genetics that we would like to add to our herd. We breed our heifers and cows early in the spring because we prefer to have our calves born in January and February. It’s all a personal preference as to when a farmer wants their cows to calve.

I am fortunate to get to write an article for the Bureau County Republican in the spring and the fall.

I probably say the same thing in both those season’s articles ... Please be safe when you are out and about, and please watch out for slow-moving equipment. I now am on the roads driving more than just the slow moving farm equipment, and I have seen some people try to do things that are not safe. Like my mom says, “Safety First.”

Agencies begin Homegrown By Heroes BLOOMINGTON — The Illinois Farm Bureau (IFB) and Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) will host a first-of-its-kind statewide gathering for organizations that wish to serve military veterans desiring to pursue food, farming and agricultural careers.

The Homegrown By Heroes meeting, which will take place May 28 from 1 to 4:30 p.m. at the Illinois Farm Bureau, 1701 Towanda Ave., Bloomington, will include Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti who will be on hand to formally launch the statewide program, as well as Philip Nel-

son, director, IDOA, and Richard Guebert Jr., president, IFB. The meeting will serve to help connect the public, non-profits, academia, veterans, agencies, municipalities, volunteer organizations and farmer veteran stakeholders to identify available resources for veterans and form partnerships and develop collaborative efforts.

“The Homegrown By Heroes program is a unique partnership between the military and agricultural communities,” Nelson said. “The Department is proud to be a part of a program that recognizes indi-

viduals who are continuing to serve our country by putting food on dinner tables.”

The Homegrown By Heroes collaboration will ultimately include many different programs, including farmer training, farmers’ markets opportunities and partnerships, assisting veterans in developing value-added products, fostering relationships with retailers and food service organizations, making resources available for veterans wishing to raise livestock and commodity crops, developing mentorships between experienced farmers and

veterans, and identifying community land access.

“Our veterans have sacrificed so much for our country and our freedom,” Guebert said. “By partnering with the Illinois Department of Agriculture and other agencies and groups across the state, we hope to help veterans interested in agriculture advance their career goals in any way possible.”

Homegrown By Heroes Illinois Production participation application will be available Memorial Day weekend on the Illinois Department of Agriculture’s website at www.agr. state.il.us.

USDA, NASS to conduct survey SPRINGFIELD — During the next several weeks, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will conduct two major mid-year surveys, the June Agricultural Survey and the June Area Survey. The agency will survey more than 4,000 farms across Illinois to determine crop acreage for 2015 and stocks on hand as of June 1.

“Due to the widespread impact of its results, the June Agricultural Survey, also known as the Crops/ Stocks Survey, and the June Area Survey, are two of the most significant surveys NASS conducts,” said Mark Schleusener, director of the NASS Illinois Office.

“Information that growers provide serves as the first clear sign of the prospective production and supply of major commodities in the United States for the 2015 crop year.”

NASS gathers the data for the June Agriculture Survey online, by mail and/or by phone. For the June Area Survey, agency representatives will visit randomly selected tracts of land and interview the operators of any farm or ranch on that land. Growers will provide information on crop acreage — including biotech crops — as well as grain stocks, livestock inventory, cash rents, land

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE The County of Bureau will hold a public hearing on June 2, 2015, at 5:30 p.m., at the Bureau County Courthouse, 700 South Main Street, Princeton, IL to provide interested parties an opportunity to express their views on the proposed federal funded Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project. Persons with disabilities or non-English speaking persons who wish to attend the public hearing and need assistance should contact the North Central IL Council of Governments (NCICG), 613 West Marquette Street, Ottawa, IL 61350, 815433-5830 no later than May 29, 2015. Every effort will be made to make reasonable accommodations for these persons.

On or about July 8, 2015, Bureau County intends to apply to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity for a grant from the State CDBG program. This program is funded

by Title I of the federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended). These funds are to be used for a community development project at Lake Arispie on behalf of the Lake Arispie Homeowners Association, LLC. The project is the construction of a new wastewater treatment system for the Lake Arispie subdivision. The total amount of CDBG funds to be requested is $427,245.

The amount of CDBG funds proposed to be used for activities that will benefit low-and moderateincome persons is approximately $249,938 (58.5%.

LMI benefit) Bureau County also proposes to expend $142,415 in non-CDBG funds on the project.

These non-CDBG funds will be derived from the Lake Arispie Homeowner’s Association.

Information related to the project will be available for review prior to the public hearing as of May 29, 2015 at the NCICG offices between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:00 p.m. Interested citizens are invited to provide comments regarding these issues either at the public hearing or by prior written statement. Written comments should be submitted to NCICG no later than May 29, 2015 in order to ensure placement in the official record of the public hearing proceedings. A plan to minimize displacement and provide assistance to those displaced has been prepared by Bureau County and is also available to the public. This project will result in no displacement of any persons or businesses. For additional information concerning the proposed project, please contact NCICG at the above address or phone.
