Want to retire early?

City of Princeton looks at IMRF scenario

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton City Council is looking into an early retirement incentive program for employees of the city, which also includes Perry Memorial Hospital.

The program is through the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) and is designed to allow an employee who qualifies for the program to buy up to five years of service in order to retire early.

Princeton City Manager Jeff Clawson explained the program to the council at its regular meeting on Monday, June 1.

“The logic behind the program when it was created a number of years ago was to be able to take senior level employees who make high wages and replace them with employees who make lower wages. It saves dollars for the employer, in

this case the city and hospital,” Clawson said.

Clawson said he’s been calculating the numbers within the city, and there are 34 hospital employees and 13 city employees who are eligible for the program.

Clawson has sat down with Perry Memorial Hospital CEO Rex Conger, and together they’ve prioritized the employees to see who is highly likely, medium likely and low likely to retire.

Clawson said there are about 13 employees between the city and hospital who are highly likely to retire under this program.

“We’re assuming these people would be replaced at 80 percent of the wages of the current people in those positions,” he said.

“We have several people who could be replaced at much less than that just

PRINCETON — The Princeton Park District has implemented a new orientation program for its employees.

The orientation presentation was put together by park district administrative assistant Tammy Lange.

At the park district board meeting on Monday, June 1, Lange talked about the presentation and explained it was one of her objectives given in her review to come up with the program.

She has been working with aquatic and recreation assistant Nick Davis on the process, and last week was the first time the presentaYear 169 No. 67 Two Sections - 28Pages

tion was given to employees. Lange said many of the employees who went through the first orientation were returning for another part-time summer job.

“I think it was a really good overview because we talk about what is the Princeton Park District, and it wouldn’t be a surprise that a lot of the younger people think the Bureau County Metro Center is the Princeton Park District,” she said.

She said many were also surprised to learn the park district has more than 223 acres of parks.

While many of the young employees knew about the various parks around town, most didn’t realize they were all included

Walnut OKs sewer project bid

Bid was considerably higher than expected

By Nita Wyatt news@bcrnews.com

WALNUT — The village of Walnut has reviewed the bids it has received for the upcoming sewer plant improvement project. Village engineer Matt Hansen presented the opened

bids to the village board at its meeting Monday, June 1.

Hansen of Willett Hofman & Associates, Dixon, came to the board with the results of the bid process for the improvement project. A total of four sealed bids were received.

All of the bids were above the estimated $2 million price tag for the entire project. The lowest bid was received from Leander Construction Inc. of Canton. This bid of $2,512,000 was discussed by the board.

Hansen expressed his disappointment in the higher cost and also stated his engineering firm has worked with this construction company previously and has found

them to be well organized with a good final product. Hansen also stated this type of construction is specialized, and seeking additional bids would not give the village significantly less expensive options as the other bids already received were much higher.

Hansen and the board compared the estimated costs with the actual bid

Beautifying Wyanet Board discusses cemetery complaints

By Becky Kramer news@bcrnews.com

WYANET — The condition of the village’s cemetery was on the Wyanet Village Board’s agenda Tuesday, June 2.

Board members are receiving many complaints about the condition of the cemetery. Some

residents say they are not happy with how the mowing is being completed this year. The board hired a new business this spring as a cost-saving measure.

Wyanet Village Clerk Shelley Teske has made several phone calls to rectify the situation, but changes haven’t been made. The board is dedicated to keeping the cemetery in good condition.

Also, the two newest village trustees, Cory Peterson and Dave Bickett, are looking for ways to beau-

tify Main Street and the parks, as well as the areas around the monuments in town.

During the committee reports, Peterson requested landscaping be completed at the park and around the monuments in various locations. Peterson also asked about the Wyanet signs at the east and west ends of Wyanet.

Village President Bruce Hand explained to the board the signs belong to the Wyanet Community Club, and all landscaping

will need to be discussed with the club.

Hand agreed the landscaping should be completed at the parks and monuments. He approved the use of materials the village already has.

Trustee Marilyn Johnson offered to donate several types of ornamental grasses and flowers for the project.

Bickett is looking for ways to beautify Main Street. Some of his suggestions included burying the power lines and plant-

ing trees, however, the funds to complete projects such as these are just not available at this time.

In other business: • The board read the 2015-16 appropriation ordinance. This is a state-mandated ordinance that is necessary in order to receive tax money. The ordinance specifies the amount appropriated for each object and purpose. This ordinance is expected to be voted on next month.

• Village employees

have installed all but five of the new meters.

• General clean up is scheduled for June 16.

• The board approved hiring Westrom Leak Detection for a cost of $850.

• Johnson advised the board Pam Neff was hired as the curator for the museum.

The next meeting of the Wyanet Village Board is set for 7 p.m. July 15 at the Village Hall.

Legislating youth concussions Rezin co-sponsors Senate Bill 7 in honor of her son SPRINGFIELD — With firsthand experience of the increasing speed of youth sports, state Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Peru) is working to help young people who suffer concussions.

Rezin is co-sponsoring Senate Bill 7, also known as the “return to learn” bill, a bi-partisan piece of legislation spearheaded by Sen. Kwame Raoul (D-Chicago) to require schools to develop policies and procedures to help young athletes and non-athletes who suffered a concussion return to the classroom. Doctors would have to clear a student before he or she could return to the classroom or participate in athletics. The legislation would also require school districts, based on their resources, to create a concussion oversight team consisting of coaches, trainers and medical professionals and requires schools to create an emergency action plan in the case of a serious injury.

“My son, Zach, has had three concussions in his young life, all happening on the football field,” Rezin said. “We need to address how our kids can suc-

To prevent injuries while playing summer sports, make sure children wear all the necessary protective gear. cessfully return to the classroom after a concussion because I saw it firsthand with Zach, how challenging it was for him to focus and absorb information.”

“With each concussion, it was harder and harder to return,” Zach Rezin said. “My first concussion, my junior year in high school, I was out of school for two weeks. My second concus-

sion, which happened my senior year, was an even bigger challenge. My third concussion, in my freshman year of college, required me to take a medical leave of absence from school.

Because of all this, I had to stop playing.”

Senate Bill 7 passed the Senate unanimously Thursday, April 30, and now heads to the House

of Representatives for consideration. The legislation would impact elementary, middle and high schools.

“After my third concussion, when I tried to go to class, I would feel like I was trapped and a little pain would turn into a lot of pain,” Zach said. “I would start to get double vision.

I would have to leave the room.

When speaking, I would have to really think about what I would want to say, instead of just naturally saying it. So I went home to take it easy.”

“This legislation is so important because we often forget about how difficult it is for young people who have these head injuries to simply study or take notes,” Rezin said. “Zach’s injuries were not only stressful and emotionally draining for him, but for our family and his friends. His studies are more important than sports. Families I speak with share the same sentiments. All four of my kids played sports since the third grade and three of my four kids were college athletes. This is a serious issue that needs a proactive approach.”

“I’m still in the process of fully recovering,” Zach said. “I have to use different study techniques and note-taking because

of the concussions. I can’t retain as much. It’s harder for me to remember information. However, I am making progress, and I do anticipate a full recovery. I’m just glad it isn’t worse.”

Zach returned to college in January and advises young football players to keep their head up when tackling and keep their equipment maintained.

“The counselor for Zach really helped him with his classes and identified what he was going through and talked to teachers,” Rezin said. “She was instrumental in showing me that having a plan in place for Zach’s re-entry into the classroom was very important.”

The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) testified at the Illinois Statehouse this week in support of the legislation, as well as Tregg Duerson, the son of Dave Duerson, a former Chicago Bears defensive back who suffered head trauma from his playing days and who died in 2011.

Other supporters of Senate Bill 7 include the Illinois Athletic Trainers Association, the Illinois Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Illinois Department of Public Health and Rush University Medical Center.

Princeton Fire Department responds to semi fire PRINCETON — The Princeton Fire Department responded to a report of a semi fire on Interstate 80 near Mile Marker 54 west bound at 4:47 a.m. Friday, May 29.

Upon arrival, first responders found a

semi-trailer on the shoulder of the roadway fully involved. The driver of the semi was able to disconnect the tractor and move it a safe distance away, so it wouldn’t receive any damage.

The fire department received assistance at the scene by Sheffield, Buda and Malden for water. Wyanet Ambulance covered Princeton’s station for ambulance coverage.

The trailer was transporting whey protein

powder mix. The trailer and contents were a total loss.

There were no injuries reported. District 17 State Police handled the scene. First responders were on scene until 8:18 a.m.

because of the long years of service some of these people have with the city and hospital.”

If all 13 employees decided to take advantage of the program, it could generate a savings anywhere from around $220,000 to $230,000 throughout a 10-year period.

The cost for all 13 employees to go through the IMRF program would cost $1.4 million.

Basically the idea is the city will be taking existing payroll dollars and lowering them along with employee benefit costs.

The city then takes the savings and uses it to pay IMRF. The council has options

Walnut From Page 1 received and found the largest price differences were in the electrical costs and the needed site piping work.

Prior to coming to a vote on whether or not to accept this bid, the board discussed the need for an additional rate increase for sewer customers because of the higher cost of this project. The board had enacted a rate increase previously in anticipation of this work. The additional increase would make the minimum charge for water and sewer within the village to be $41.80.

This project is being funded by an Environmental Protection Agency loan, and that agency has specific requirements about municipalities having the money available for repaying of the loan. Hansen will be contacting the EPA to ascertain its exact requirements considering that a rate increase was already done, and the project costs have increased. He will be reporting back to the board prior to a decision regarding rates.

After a lengthy discussion of all aspects of the project, a motion was made and passed to accept the bid of Leander Construction.

The next step in the sewer project is to submit the bid documents to the EPA. Once the bid is approved, loan agreement documents will be executed by the village, and the contract will be given to Leander.

In other business, village resident Paul Brousseau approached the board regarding a problem he has encountered with a previously vacated alley near his

advantage of the program, but it doesn’t really matter. It just changes the percentages of numbers of what it looks like,” he said. “At the end of the day you’re going to take savings and pay IMRF.” He said net savings, which would come over time, could be used for future projects or whatever the council chooses to use that money for in the future.

The council voted to table a decision on the IMRF program and planned to meet in closed session at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 9, to discuss the program further before making a decision.

The council will have a special open meeting following the closed session.

home. Brousseau had visited the county mapping office, and according to what he said he was told, the alley the village thought was vacated in 1976, has not been correctly recorded. It is his contention the documents at the courthouse do not read as was intended. Nita VonHolten, village treasurer, read from a letter recently received from Rob LeSage, village attorney, stating this alley was, in fact, properly vacated.

Village President Dennis Grobe agreed to contact LeSage for further clarification. Grobe also reiterated it was the intention of the village to vacate this particular alley and convey the property to the homeowners on either side of the alley.

Also, Grobe presented the name of David Lind as a new board member, filling the seat vacated by him when he became the village president. Receiving no objections to Lind, Grobe swore him in as a new board member, and he took his seat at the meeting.

Grobe also proposed to the board the ownership

of the fire station property be turned over to the fire department. Currently, the department leases the property from the village with the current lease expiring on Dec. 31. Under the lease agreement, the village agrees to pay up to $5,000 in repairs to the building. All other costs of the building are paid by the fire department. Grobe requested the board members think about this conveyance, and he asked that a decision be made in the coming months prior to the expiration of the current lease.

The board members also commended Walnut Village Superintendent Carl Minks on the appearance of the village cemetery for the recent Memorial Day holiday activities. The property was in excellent condition, and the new podium railing was completed and a definite improvement to the landscape.

The Law and Order Committee, at the request of Chairperson Lee Sarver, scheduled a meeting for 5 p.m. Thursday, June 4, in the village meeting room.

of how to finance that $1.4 million. It the council decides to make payments to IMRF during the 10-year period, Clawson said they would end up paying high interest costs.

He has recommended to the council to finance the cost with bond money, which he said would save a significant amount of money by reducing interest.

“There’s no scenario that doesn’t show a pretty significant savings to the city and hospital over a period of time,” he said.

“It looks very attractive for the city to take advantage of the early retirement program.”

Clawson assured there is no threat based on the scenarios.

The orientation also reviewed policies that helped employees understand the everyday procedures of the park district.

“This is something we would like to get all the park staff through at some point this summer,” Lange said.

What’s going on with the Zearing Park pier?

Also on Monday, June 1, Elaine Russell, executive director, gave a brief update of the status of the

Zearing Park pier.

Russell said the reason why it’s taking so long for repairs is because the park district paid for the project once, and because of structural and engineer differences, the park district will not pay to have it fixed. She said because of this, it has taken time to work out who will be responsible for what.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the cement bases under the ramp leading to the fishing dock are heaving up at different levels. The heaving has twisted the ramp, pulling at all its seams and

joints. It was determined this was due to freezing and thawing throughout the winter months.

Until the pier is repaired, it remains unsafe and is off limits.

Russell said the engineering firm, which is Chamlin & Associates, determined it would take care of replacing the structure, if the contractor removed the old pier.

Russell said the engineering firm is going to use a new contractor who specializes in installation.

Russell anticipates the project to be completed soon.

Report from the capitol Princeton Park District attends state event in Springfield PRINCETON/SPRINGFIELD — Tuesday, April 28, and Wednesday, April 29, were Park Days at the state capitol in Springfield during which Illinois Association of Park Districts could meet with their state senators and representatives to renew acquaintances and express the appreciation park districts have for all the efforts they make on behalf of keeping park districts operable with funding for a variety of needs associated with the operation of park districts.

The Princeton Park District, a member of the Illinois Association of Park Districts, was represented by Princeton Park District Executive Director Elaine Russell, assistant Tammy Lange and Commissioners Gene Englehardt, Andy Marti and Dick Volker.

Having the opportunity to visit with Sen. Darrin Lahood and Rep. Don Moffitt and exchange ideas with them is always informative and fun. Both are always interested in learning “What’s going in on in Princeton and Bureau County?” and relaying to us their efforts on behalf of parks and recreation.

The Wednesday morning gathering of all the park and recreation people at the Crowne Plaza Hotel kicked off with IAPD President/CEO Peter Murphy welcoming everyone. After several other introductions, Illinois State Comptroller Leslie Geissler Munger spun the story of the tax situation in Illinois — the positives and mostly the negatives. Her explanations of the funding situation in Illinois were especially important to parks and recreation people as they attempt to work within their budgets and have concerns about OSLAD and PARC grants being “swept” away by the governor.

The IAPD is blessed to have a sharp, young attorney, Jason Anselment, employed as its legal/legislative counsel who is a persistent lobbyist always keeping up with legislation being introduced/ passed/not passed and how the various bills would affect park districts.

Anselment described how a state-imposed property tax freeze would take control away from locally-elected officials. Research shows the vast majority of Illinoisans trust locally elected park commissioners as good stewards of their tax dollars, and most also feel their park district spend their tax dollars wisely with little waste.

Nine out of 10 Illinoisans believe parks and open space improve property values, and 70 percent of Illinoisans feel their park district represents a good value. Forcing local governments to cut these valuable services will suppress or reduce property values.

Another topic under discussion at the assembly was how minimum wage increases would impact local park and recreation agencies. Local park and recreation agencies employ more than 50,000 parttime employees in Illinois. Most of these employees are teens, and the summer jobs that local park and recreation agencies provide are often their first.

Local park and recreation agencies operate on fixed budgets, so increasing the minimum wage will necessarily result in fewer summer jobs for youth or increase the cost of recreational programs for working families and other taxpayers.

Throughout the morning meetings, IAPD representatives stressed that local park districts do not promote or publicize their agencies and activities going on at their agencies enough through media.

With the economy as it is, park districts provide programs and events for families to do right in their own area or nearby locations. Vacations can be taken within park districts and many learning experiences can be had by the whole family.

That’s what park and recreation agencies strive to offer.

Dick Volker is a commissioner for the Princeton Park District.

ed island and could take only one thing with you, what would it be: My Bible.

What is your favorite local restaurant: We tend to eat out too much, so I like most of our countywide restaurants.

If someone handed you a million dollars, how would you spend it: Pay our debts, study Dave Ramsey more and have a ton of fun doing crazy random acts of kindness.

People would be surprised to know that you: Rob Jensen and I are siblings.

What is your favorite thing

If you were stranded on a desert-

about the city you live in: Knowing we are protected by the best police and fire departments. Having family employed in both departments has made our awareness of their awesome training and ethical standards more appreciated than ever.

If you could change one thing about your town, what would it be: One of my biggest prayers daily is for the people in my small world of Bureau County to experience, seek out and practice HOPE again. Life is so hard for all of us, and far too many teens and adults alike are forgetting that NOTHING is impossible if we just stay focused on HOPE in our Lord, work hard and diligently, and always do the right thing.

Turning into my mother “God, I sound like my mother.”

It’s something we all say, typically after we are shocked to hear ourselves say something our parents notoriously would tell us. It can refer to anything. I’ve said it after seeing kids act out in a restaurant or at the movies, or when I see reckless driving or when I’m dealing with someone who strains my patience to the limit.

Ever since I was little, I have been told how much I look like my mother. It would drive me crazy to hear. Family and friends would lovingly refer to me as Little Linda.

After years of hearing it, I started to push back saying I didn’t look anything like my mom, that we looked completely different. Even when someone would show me a side-by-side comparison of her at my age, I would deny the truth ‘til the bitter end.

I was at an age where parents just weren’t cool, and I fell in line with my peers in thinking adults know nothing. I’m sure she hated this period in our relationship. I was in angsty phase and tired of being told I looked like her. I felt like people expected me to be her, and I

Sarah Denton COMMENTARY

wasn’t allowed to be myself. Hindsight, I know this wasn’t the case. I was encouraged to follow my passions and be my own person.

I don’t know when exactly the tide started to turn back in favor of my mom, but I’m glad it did. I started to stick up for her in ways I probably wouldn’t have done at a younger age. She became my response to any blonde joke or use of being blonde as an excuse for a lackluster performance.

My mom attended the University of Pittsburgh, graduating in 1979 with a degree in metallurgical engineering and as president of her class. She worked her summers during college in a steel mill to pay for her tuition. She didn’t take a secretarial position or something less then what she desired.

She faced blatant sexism in the workforce and held her head high,

refusing to stoop to a lower level.

She was a business professional in a predominately man’s field. She was a trailblazer for myself and future generations. She became my hero.

As I got older I became more aware of the sacrifices she made for us. She traveled a lot but would never miss a concert or a recital or a play (my brother and I were more fine arts based, then athletic). In high school, she would be a chaperone for field trips trying to make up for lost time, even though it wasn’t necessary. She worked to give us the world and to achieve our own dreams.

Now whenever I hear someone say, “God I sound like my mother,” I hope they say it with love and admiration. Whenever I say it, I smile and think about the woman who gave me everything, not just her looks, but her courage, her strength, her determination and heart. I say it was fondness and think about the woman I can become because of her.

St. Margaret’s starts emergency room construction project $5.5 million project nearly doubles size of existing ER patients and families, a results pending area and a family consultation room.

Also included in this phase will be a new egress corridor that will route hospital traffic around the emergency room proper, which will greatly improve privacy for patients being treated. The overall project is expected to be completed by May 2016.

According to Tim Muntz, St. Margaret’s president and CEO, “This project seeks to provide a better experience for the patient by enhancing patient flow through the ER and the hospital, while also improving work flow and productivity for our staff. All treatment rooms will be similarly designed and equipped for flexibility of use, to save precious minutes in critical situations. As part of the ER project, we are also add-

SPRING VALLEY — St. Margaret’s Hospital recently received final approval from the Illinois Department of Public Health to begin a $5.5 million project to nearly double the size of its existing emergency room. Construction work has already begun on the first phase of the project, which will create an additional 4,200 square feet directly to the east of the existing department. This expanded space will provide new exam rooms with updated fixtures and equipment, an isolation exam room, nursing station and support areas. The expansion phase is expected to be completed by November 2015.

The second phase will consist of renovating the existing emergency room, featuring a new and much larger waiting room for

ing a new, private waiting room and new changing rooms in the adjacent X-ray department.”

Mary Vega, vice president of nursing at St. Margaret’s, adds, “The new ER will also provide a ‘safe room’ for patients with psychiatric needs, as well as direct elevator access for patients going to surgery or the intensive care unit from the ER. Consultation rooms for physicians, clergy and others will be created to allow for greater privacy for patients and families. Our goal is to reduce ER wait times and ‘door-to-decision’ times for patients to be admitted or discharged.”

Muntz continues, “At some point, nearly everyone needs access to emergency care, so the goal of the project is to improve the overall ER experience.

We are excited about what this project will provide to our patients and the communities we serve.”

A super day to be a Bruin

Braboy pitches St. Bede back to state

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

LISLE — Bill Booker told the BCR in an April interview he wanted to win a state championship one day at St. Bede Academy. He’s going to have to fast forward that goal.

The Bruins took another big step to getting there Tuesday, June 2, riding the combined 7-0 shutout by starting and winning pitcher Gabe Braboy and ace Jarret Olson over Westmont in the Lisle 2A Super-Sectional at Benedictine University.

Nick Plankenhorn had three hits and two RBIs, and Matt Szczepaniak drove in three runs, including a squeeze bunt and scored a highly acrobatic run to send St. Bede back to the IHSA state tournament for the first time since 1992.

The Bruins (33-8) reach the Final Four for the first time since winning the old Class A championship in 1988, facing Rockford Christian (33-6) at 3 p.m. Friday, June 5, at Dozer Park in Peoria. Rockford Christian was a 6-5 winner over Carthage Illini West at the Rock Island Super-Sectional.

“That was no prognostication there at all. It was what the kids are in it for,” Booker said about his early-season desire for a state title. “Sometimes you have to bark at them and sometimes you have to demand things, but they’re starting to reap the rewards right now and I couldn’t be prouder of them.”

“Oh, yeah, since Day 1 Coach

never been better. He’s one of the most competitive kids I’ve ever coached and he’s shown it in three post season games culminating with this one today,” Booker said.

LISLE — When the final out was made of Tuesday’s super-sectional victory at Benedictine University, St. Bede sophomore Brady Booker sprinted from his outfield position to find the man who means the most to him, jumping into the arms of his dad, Bruins coach Bill Booker.

It was a moment only a father and son who share a passion can appreciate most.

“He’s taught me everything I know. He’s been there since Day 1 and I can’t thank him enough,” Brady Booker said, with tears in his eyes. “All those times I’d asked him to go out and hit; he’d showed me the right way. I can’t ask for a better dad.”

While the Bookers strive to maintain a coach-player relationship on the field, this one was moment certainly they could let their guard down.

“I’ve taught both my boys we’ve got to keep family out of it, it’s coach player and that’s how we treat it, but there’s time where it can’t be done,” Coach Booker said. “Brady

Hopefully we can finish it off for him,” Plankenhorn said. “It’s unbelievable.

I can’t imagine anything like it.

Looking forward to this weekend and hopefully we can do great things.

“Coach always talked about being the last team from the area playing and we took that to heart,” said sophomore right fielder, Brady Booker, the coach’s

son. “Once we got here to super sectional anything goes, it’s that one game, anything can happen.

We were never picked to win, but when were we. We just came in and got the job done.”

Braidwood Sectional title: St. Bede 1, Herscher 0

Olson, Bruins blank Herscher 1-0 for sectional crown

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

BRAIDWOOD — A solid seven innings is all that you need in the postseason.

From Day 1, first-year St. Bede coach Bill Booker believed his team could make a run if they worked hard and continued to improve throughout the season. His Bruins have

approached this season with the goal of winning their final game and Monday, June 1, they took a step closer to that goal with a thrilling 1-0 victory as they grabbed the 2A Braidwood Sectional title over the Herscher Tigers.

This is the first St. Bede sectional baseball title since 1992, but Booker has grown accustomed to winning in the section-

als as he has gone 12-0 in sectional appearances and won his sixth sectional title as a head coach or an assistant.

“Day 1, he put it in our heads and we started working, working harder than I’ve worked in any sport,” junior catcher Nate Bartley said of Booker. “He said right away we want a play all year and we want to win the last game

of the season. Not as an assumption, but that it’s possible. That we can do it; we have the talent and we’ve got the hustle.”

Bartley and his battery mate, junior Jarrett Olson, have consistently leaned on each other throughout their playoff run and their confidence in each other continues to grow with each passing game.

“His (Olson’s) stuff has

The son shall rise Every parent wants the best for their children, even if it means beating their best.

For 27 years, Ron Barnes has owned the shot put record at St. Bede Academy with a throw of 156 feet, eight inches in the state meet during his senior year in 1988.

The record has stood the test of time, fighting off all challengers along the way to come through the academy.

Kevin Hieronymus HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS

Until now.

Last month, Barnes saw his record broken, and he was glad

to see it happen. It was broken by none other than his son, John, a SBA junior.

The younger Barnes shattered dad’s longtime record by five feet, six inches, landing with a distance of 162-2 in the Illinois Valley Conference Meet at Ottawa last month.

He would also go on to equal the seventh-place medal his dad received in 1988 over the weekend.

“I’ve had other athletes that

I thought would break it, but I can’t be happier that I got to coach the one to beat it and, of course, that it is my son,” John Barnes said.

That’s all that John Barnes ever wanted to do — claim family bragging rights. He gives his dad, who doubles as his weights coach, all the credit for making him the kind of thrower that he is.

Sectional From Page 11 the fourth inning to score DH Gabe Braboy, which proved to be the decisive run in the contest.

“This is a credit to them.

I’ve always said coaching is overrated,” Booker said. “Jarrett Olson on the mound, what an effort today. You look at Nate Bartley and his offensive output in the tournament has been outstanding. We beat a good team today,” Olson, who is 3-0 in postseason play, threw another gem as he took a no hitter into the fifth inning and finished the complete game win giving up only three hits. He has given up only six hits in 20 2/3 scoreless innings over the three game span this postseason.

“Coach has a lot of confidence in me. For a coach to have confidence in a player is a great feeling and he knows every time he puts me on the mound I’m going to give everything I have, and our defense was also superb today so that’s a great feeling,” Olson said.

Jimmy D Golf Outing set for July 12 SPRING VALLEY — The 33rd annual Jimmy D Golf Day will be Sunday, July 12 at Spring Creek Golf Course and Deer Park Country Club in Oglesby.

The event is held in memory of James A. “Jimmy” DeAngelo, who died at age 37 in 1983 after fighting cancer. It was the wish of Jimmy and his family to raise funds for cancer patients. The event raised $20,677 last year and more than $658,000 over the past 32 years.

This year’s goal is $22,000. The proceeds will benefit the Esophegal and Colon Cancer Center at St. Margaret’s Hospital in Spring Valley.

Event organizers are seeking golfers as well as sponsors. For more information, contact Diane Janz at St. Margaret’s at 815-664-7260 or by email at djanz@aboutsmh.org.

St. Bede catcher Nathan Bartley gets his man on a bunt Monday at Braidwood against Herscher. The Bruins won 1-0 to claim the sectional championship and once in the seventh inning as junior first baseman Tyler Fisher led the inning off with a double to right field, but that wasn’t enough as Olson and Bartley showed why they deserved to be crowned sectional champions.

“Nobody out, runner on second, we’re up by one and he strikes out two in a row. He’s a heck of a competitor. You can count on him,” Bartley said.

Each sang each other’s praises in the late inning situation as their faith in each other’s abilities allowed them to go to work.

“He’s been really turning it up. He gives me a lot of confidence to throw that pitch in the dirt and

have him block it with the runner on second no outs.

I was just thinking, ‘Don’t give up a hit,’” Olson said.

After the two strikeouts, Olson got the final batter to fly out to right field to seal their sectional title.

“You just can’t panic.

You have to realize that this game is so much momentum and your kids have to realize that. And these kids have realized that from the first game on in the regional. And they went out and played good baseball through the whole thing, and as long as you limit your mistakes, throw strikes and work on better approaches at the plate,” Booker said.

grew up watching big brother (Cody) and me on the field. We had a couple opportunities to go to state and Brady was always in the dugout.

“To have Brady have that opportunity in the limelight like his big brother it was pretty special (for me). It was pretty special for Brady, too.”

The coach’s wife, Manuela, helps to keep the baseball talk out of the Booker home, ever since she broke up a heated discussion between coach Booker and his eldest son, Cody, who played for him at L-P. The younger Booker was very appreciative of the opportunity for both him and his father to come together this year at St. Bede.

“It means the world to him, it means the world to my family and I can’t thank these guys enough, from the senior class to the junior class, to the school, Tom McGunnigal, the supporter. I can’t thank them enough,” the younger Booker said.

• By the Book: Bill Booker has now reached state with his third team. He took two L-P teams to state over a fouryear stretch before his controversial dismissal after placing as state runners-up in 2012 in 3A. He was an assistant under Ken Jenkins at Putnam County when the Panthers went to state in 2013.

“It’s very surreal, I’m going to have to pinch myself,” he said. “It’s about the kids. Watching these kids as excited as they are, as jubilant as they are, I couldn’t be happier for ‘em.

“Personally, every coach wants to make state. That’s why we do our business for. This has been a good group, they’ve learned through the process, but I’m just excited for them.”

Booker is now 13-0 in sectional games and 3-0 in super-sectionals he’s been involved with as head or assistant coach.

• Building process: While most Bruins and fans would say they knew the Bruins could reach the state tournament, postseason pitching hero Gabe Braboy said it was a slow process, one that was implored by coach Booker.

“We didn’t think we’d able to do it, but (Booker) kept pounding it in our head and after while it was there, and we thought about it and we finally accomplished it,” Braboy said. “It’s history for St. Bede and history for this team under coach Booker. He’s a great coach.”

• Party like its 1988: Four members of St. Bede’s 1988 state championship were in attendance Tuesday, including current SBA athletic director Tom McGunnigal, Jim Perona, Brad Koster

St. Bede’s Sam Halm beats the throw home Tuesday for a first-inning run. and Michael Schneider. Koster, who was the state tournament MVP with two wins and a save pitching, played collegiate at Benedictine.

“This is so cool, watching my high school play for a shot to get to state at the college where I played for,” said Koster, who lives in Oswego and arrived to the game following his daughter’s travel softball game.

Perona praised Koster for making the Bruins state title possible in 1988, pitching a 10-0 shutout over highly regarded Mahomet-Seymour in the then state quarterfinals on the first day, and boosting their confidence. He came back in relief for a save in the semifinals the next day against Waterloo and was the starting and winning pitcher in the championship game over Alton Marquette 6-4.

• TRAC sweep: It was a super night all around for the Three Rivers Athletic Conference. Fulton started the night out by defeating Crete Illinois Lutheran 17-4 in five innings in the preliminary 1A super-sectional contest.

“That says something about the conference. The TRAC should be very proud.

It shows we’re trying to do the right things,” Booker said.

The Steamers (21-8) will face Cobden (25-6)‚ in the 1A semifinals at 10 a.m. at Dozer Park.

St. Bede swept a doubleheader over Fulton this season, 1-0 and 6-1.

The Sterling Newman softball team also reached the state finals.

• Rockford Files: St. Bede will face Rockford Christian (33-6) in Peoria, the two sharing common opponents. Christian beat Mendota 7-4 while the Bruins lost 6-2. Christian edged Morrison 2-0 in the sectional semifinals, the Bruins 10-running the Mustangs 13-3.

Booker said he would be doing his homework on the Royal Lions.

“That’s been something coach has harped on all year, let’s get on them early. Coach said, I’m OK being (the visitors), let’s jump on them early, put on the pressure on them.

Hopefully, they squeeze a little bit, and they did,” Brady said.

“We had to get a lead on this team, because they put so much pressure on people. They have speed, they hit the ball well, they execute,” Bill Booker said.

“They were 30-8 coming in. For us to do what we did tonight, put pressure back on them and then control the rest of the game was immensely important.”

Braboy singled to lead off the third inning and courtesy runner Nick Szczepaniak was bunted over

by G.W. Leynaud. Plankenhorn drove in Nick Szczepaniak to make it 6-0.

Plankenhorn, who was dubbed “Big Game” before the game by SBA alums Tom McGunnigal and Jim Perona, members of the 1988 state championship Bruins, doesn’t always bat in the Bruins lineup, but he was up for the assignment Tuesday.

“Coming off the bench from the other night, (I was) a little nervous (when coach was) telling me I was going to hit today. I put it out of my mind and kept confident and did what I can,” he said.

Plankenhorn was right

in the mix again of the Bruins final scoring surge with a lead-off double to left in the sixth. A sacrifice bunt by Halm moved Plankenhorn to third. The Bruins employed some more “Booker ball” with a squeeze bunt by Szczepaniak, which brought Plankenhorn home safely.

Szczepaniak had more tricks up his sleeve, hurdling over the Westmont catcher to avoid the tag to score from second on a single by Olson. The St. Bede super fans twitter account described it as “impossible.”

“The center fielder made a great throw and had me canned at the plate,” Szczepaniak said.

“I saw I wasn’t going to be able to slide around the catcher or knock the ball out of his glove, I didn’t think about jumping until the last second.”

That was more than enough support for Braboy, the pride of Dalzell, who is fast becoming the Bruins’ secret weapon in the shadow of the ace, Olson. He was masterful Tuesday, scattering five hits and two walks with eight strikeouts through 6.1 innings before turning the ball over to Olson for the final two punts in the seventh.

Braboy, who earned a 9-1 win over Beecher in the sectional semifinals, said he loved drawing the big-game assignment.

“I can’t say I live for it, but he (Booker) handed it to me and I accepted it and I just played through it, played through the seniors,” Braboy said.

“I don’t think they were expecting, like me, I think they were expecting somebody faster. They’re up here playing amazing teams. I kind of feel they were caught off guard, really.”

Braboy wiggled out of trouble in the fourth and fifth innings. He walked two straight in the fourth, but caught one Sentinel looking and got out trouble with a groundout.

He was touched by two

Postseason pitching hero Gabe Braboy of Dalzell fires a pitch home in Tuesday’s super-sectional. He combined with reliever Jarret Olson for a 7-0 shutout. straight hits to start the fifth, but left them stranded at second and third.

Plankenhorn snagged a line drive off the bat of Westmont all-stater Charlie Donovan, a University of Michigan recruit, and nearly turned it into double play when he dove back to the bag trying to catch the Westmont runner for a force.

“Nick made a huge play at third base and the defense was spot on all around. I can’t thank them enough,” Braboy said.

“That play was out-

standing. We hit our spot, down and away and that kid hit a rocket at third where Nick made that play and almost turned a double play. And that gave us momentum back because these games are so much about momentum and you can’t let it get away from you and we never have in the postseason,” Bill Booker said.

When asked for his expectations at state, Booker said he was simply looking forward to spending more time at the ballpark with the kids.

“We stress being ready for the postseason throughout the year but you got to take the right steps to get there,” he said.

“We’ve competed against some good teams, we’ve had good team chemistry, we have competed all year and when you can do that with the high-character kids like we have, you have a shot every time. And for them to be hittin’ the right notes, this time of the year, we have a shot. Especially with the pitching performances we’ve had from Olson and Braboy.”

Hieronymus From Page 11 “Breaking my dad’s record means the most to me,” John Barnes said.

“He has been such an amazing coach for me since I was in fifth grade.

It was always a dream of mine to break his record, ever since I was a kid going to track practice with him to watch all the throwers. It makes me so happy to be the person to break my dad’s record with his help and support.

“I couldn’t have done it without him, and he deserves just as much credit as I do for breaking the record for making me the thrower that I am.”

St. Bede athletic director Tom McGunnigal, who was a classmate of Ron Barnes at SBA, said “it’s pretty cool” to see it was Barnes’ son who broke the record.

“That’s a dad giving on to his son so that he can break records – that’s what every parent wants, for their child to do better than we did,” McGunnigal said.

Ron Barnes broke the record previously set by Mark Kenney in 1972 at 152-2. He held off challenges from two kids he coached — Vinny Maggi

in 2006, who threw 147, and Andrew Foote, who went 155-10 in 2004.

McGunnigal remembers Ron Barnes as one of the strongest kids in their class.

“We had a crew of guys who spent all of their days in the weight room.

We did not have wrestling so they lifted in the winter time, during fall and spring sports and then all summer long,” McGunnigal said. “He was a great football player, offensive lineman, and excellent at the shot and discus. He was fundamentally sound long before they had any of the diagnostics that we use now to dissect what kids do right or wrong.

He was tough but quiet – just went about his business.”

• It’s great to see the passion the Barneses share for the sport and the love for each other. Same goes for the embrace of the Bruins baseballers, coach Bill Booker and his son, Brady, Tuesday night after the Bruins won the super-sectional.

It doesn’t get any better than that than those moments. Their are moments to cherish and always remember.

Thursday, June 4, 2015

Walking for the Relay Putnam County Junior High School students were out in force and in great spirits during last week’s slightly damp Walk-aThon. The students were walking in support of the upcoming Marshall-Putnam counties Relay for Life which will be held Saturday, June 13, from 4 to 10 p.m. at Central Park, 426 E. Park Row St. in Henry. This year’s theme is the tropical “Re-lei for Life” and will feature a hog roast dinner along with many other activities.

According to the American Cancer Society’s website, the Relay for Life event, which is held in thousands of cities around the world, was originally created in May 1985, when Dr. Gordy Klatt walked and ran for 24 hours around a track in Tacoma, Wash., ultimately raising $27,000 to help the American Cancer Society fight the nation’s biggest health concern — cancer. A year later, 340 supporters joined the overnight event. Since those first steps, the Relay For Life movement has grown into a worldwide phenomenon, raising nearly $5 billion to fight cancer.”

The public is encouraged to participate and attend the Marshall-Putnam counties Relay for Life.

Straight from the farm at the Princeton Farmers’ Market The place to shop for fresh produce, local foods

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton Farmers’ Market is the place to go for farm-fresh, locally grown or homemade foods.

Whether you’re looking for newly-picked fruits and vegetables, fresh eggs, baked goods or herbs, spices, seeds or perennials — the market has got it all.

The freshness, the deliciousness, the hands that prepared it — shoppers just can’t get enough of it.

The Princeton Farmers’ Market has been a part of the community for more than 30 years, making its longevity and long-standing tradition a unique part of what it stands for.

Jill Frueh, a member of the Princeton Farmers’ Market Board, said the market supports local producers and their products grown in Bureau County and surrounding areas while encouraging shoppers to buy locally.

“People ask us sometimes why we don’t have strawberries or peaches really early; well, it’s because they aren’t able to be grown in Bureau County that early,” Frueh said.

“We make sure all produce and products are actually grown by our producers in this area.”

This year’s farmers’ market is made up of about 10 vendors, and Frueh said the number tends to grow throughout the summer as more produce is available to be sold.

Frueh said the farmers’ market board was excited

to see all the same vendors from last year return this year and is looking forward to new vendors showing interest in this year’s market.

The Princeton Farmers’ Market found a new home this year in Frontier Communication’s front lawn on the south end of Main Street. The land was donated to the Princeton Farmer’s Market Board by Frontier.

“The new location is wonderful,” Frueh said.

She said board members heard from shoppers they had liked the park setting they once had when the market was located in Darius Miller Park. When the market moved to the parking lot on North Main Street, Frueh said it was a great location but didn’t have the scenic park location the new front lawn space now offers.

Frueh said the farmers’ market board will be able to do a lot with the land with the advantages of being on the south end of downtown.

“It’s about working with the community. We are able to bring people to that part of town along with the other businesses in that area,” she said.

Frueh said the farmers’ market helps grow small businesses everywhere — whether it be a business on Main Street or a farmers’ business they advertise at the market.

The Princeton Farmers’ Market is located at 439 S. Main St. and is open from 3 to 6 p.m. Tuesdays and from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturdays.

The library is also considering starting a Book Buddies program which would match younger children (6-9 year olds) with an older child (11-14 year olds) and would consist of the “buddies” meeting at the library and reading together for a pre-determined amount of time.

The idea is to form a type of mentoring program where the older children help the younger children to keep reading all summer long and possibly continue into the next school year. The success and feasibility of this program would depend on the number of children, both younger and older who would sign up for the program.

Let the librarians know if you’re interested in this program.

Tickets for Bureau County Fair go on sale June 6 PRINCETON — Tickets for one of Illinois’ longest running fairs, the Bureau County Fair in Princeton, go on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 6. This includes tickets for the truck and tractor pulls, the demolition derby, the horse pulling event and the main stage musical performances .38 Special with Forgotten Highway and Lonestar with Jo Dee Messina.

Complete ticket information is available and tickets can be purchased online at the fair’s website www.bureaucountyfair. com, in person at the fair ticket office or by phone at 815-875-2905. All ticket orders are filled on a best seat available basis.

After more than three decades together, .38 Special continue to bring their signature blast of Southern Rock to over 100 cities a year.

With sales in excess of 20 million, most associate the band with their arena-rock pop smashes, “Hold On Loosely,” “Rockin’ Into the Night,” “Caught Up in You,” “Fantasy Girl,” “If I’d Been the One,” “Back Where You Belong,” “Chain Lightnin’,” “Second Chance” and more.

For .38 Special onstage, it is a celebration of camaraderie and brotherhood, a precision unit bringing the dedication and honesty to a long history of classic songs, as well as surprisingly fresh new material.

Since 1976, the band has released more than 15 albums. And from the start, they’ve toured relentlessly, bringing their signature brand of muscle and melody to fans worldwide.

A 20 year anniversary is cause for celebration, and Lonestar is marking this career milestone in more

ways than one. Lonestar has amassed RIAA-certified sales in excess of ten million album units since their national launch in 1995 and achieved ten #1 country hits including “No News,” “Come Crying To Me,” and their crossover smash “Amazed.” The band’s awards include a 1999 ACM Single of The Year for “Amazed” and the 2001 CMA Vocal Group of the Year.

But it isn’t hit records and trophies that have kept Lonestar going strong. On the contrary, lead singer Richie McDonald said, “honestly, through it all, the one thing that has kept Lonestar around is that we’re just four good old boys from Texas.” All four members originally hail from blue collar households, and place a premium on the value of hard work. “No matter how much success we’ve had, it didn’t change us as people.”

With its title “Me” chosen by fans, Jo Dee Messina’s newest album marks her most personal album to date. Messina wrote, or co-wrote, many of the songs on the album and released “Me” on her own newly established label, Dreambound Records. For the first time in her career, she was able to boldly do things her own way and pave her own path to success. Messina is no stranger to country radio fans.

Debuting in 1996 with the single “Heads Carolina, Tails California.” She’s charted nine number one singles, and 16 top 40 singles and selling more than Five million albums.

His love of the Burlington Route, rail travel, and history inspired him to operate this tour and others to provide the kind of high quality rail service people experienced in the 1940s to 1960s.

Date/place of birth: Oct. 14, 1996/Redwing, Minn.

Hometown: Princeton.

Family: Mother, Theresa; Dad Jeff; brothers, Sam (21) and Alex (16).

Sports: Mostly soccer and a little bit of tennis.

Favorite sport and why: I loved playing soccer because of the girls I played with and the fun memories we created.

I just really like being part of a team and you don’t get the same connections with some other sports (like tennis), because they’re much more individualized.

Favorite food and where to get it: I live and breathe for the flour less monster cookies made by Terry Zearing at the Flour House.

Likes: Summertime, music, Harry Potter, the German language, and s’mores.

Dislikes: I dislike close-mindedness, being shushed, mustard.

Person with the greatest Influence on my athletic career (and why): My Dad, with all of

his great support and the millions of pictures he’s always taken.

Person with the greatest influence in my life (and why): My older brother, Sam, he’s always been a great role model and his involvement in certain things almost always leads to me being involved in the same things that I end up loving and continuing with.

If stranded on a deserted island, I would have my: piano, because then I would never get bored.

The last song I listened to: “See You Again.”

People would be surprised to know: I love red-headed people.

I stay home to watch: “New

Girl.”

When I need luck for a big game, I: make silly dub-smash videos with Keyenna Altizer.

The funniest person I’ve ever met (and why): My co-worker, Eleni Leigh. She cracks me up every time I see her, and her British accent just makes every situation better.

What they’ll say about me at school after I graduate: ”Her voice was so high!”

Most embarrassing moment: Attempting to act out crying in “The Little Mermaid” with Mr. Crawford staring me down from 10 feet away.

Most unforgettable moment: Playing our soccer Senior Night in town on Bryant Field.

Ultimate sports fantasy: Meeting (or falling in love with) Kris Bryant.

What I would like to do in life: I hope to touch as many lives as possible through my career as a music therapist, even if it’s just in a small way.

If I can provide even the tiniest amount of comfort to a family or child in a difficult situation then I will have succeeded.

Three words that best describe myself: Small, musical, happy.
