Getting some tips from the big city Spring Valley studies Chicago’s LED sign ordinance

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — The Spring Valley City Council is putting an ordinance together that will better regulate the LED advertising signs popping up around the city.

The signs have been a concern among residents who live near two LED signs recently erected on Dakota Street. The residents have complained the lights were too bright and bothersome during the evening hours.

At Thursday’s Finance Committee meeting,

Spring Valley City Attorney Jim Andreoni shared the city of Chicago’s ordinance used to regulate illuminance of LED signs near residential areas.

Upon talking with a representative of Chicago, Andreoni was surprised to discover there were also issues in the city with LED signs affecting residential areas. He explained Chicago manages their signs with illuminance mea-

surements — Illuminance being the formal metric measure of luminous intensity per unit area of light traveling in a given direction.

Illuminance is measured in candela per square meter or NIT. A device is used to measure the amount of NITS a sign is giving off at a particular time.

Chicago uses a system where a sign can only be

so many NITS during the evening hours. For example, between the times of 5 a.m. and sunset, signs in a specific area can only be a maximum of 7,000 NITS. It was also noted in the Chicago ordinance that signs in a particular area could not be illuminated between midnight and 5 a.m., unless the business is open.

“If we are going to do this and we have to tell

someone to turn it down or we’re going to fine them, then we need to make sure we have the equipment to prove that they are in violation of it,” Andreoni said.

Police Chief Kevin Sangston said he would take a trip to the suburbs of Chicago to gather more information on the type of device used to measure

It’s lunch time!

Summer programs offer a free lunch for kids

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

The Illinois Coalition for Community Services (ICCS) is partnering with three Bureau County communities to provide free lunches this summer for area children and teens.

The lunch programs are being held Monday through Friday in Princeton, DePue and Spring Valley. The DePue program began last week at the school, with 28 meals served. The Princeton program begins Wednesday, June 11, at the First United Methodist Church. The Spring Valley program begins Friday, June 13, in the community room at City Hall.

ICCS program Director Jillian Severinski said the ICCS is partnering in Princeton with the Tri-County Opportunities County, Princeton School District and the First United Methodist Church. In DePue, the ICCS is partnering with the school district. In Spring Valley, the ICCS is partnering with the city and Project Success.

The purpose of the summer lunch program is to provide a healthy meal on an ongoing basis during the summer months when children and teens are not receiving meals at their schools, she said.

The free lunch program is open to all children, toddlers through 17 years old, and is not based on family income. Reservations are

Cherry Grade School eighth-graders (from left) Madison Soldati, Jacob Manfredini and Courtney Kobold pose for one more picture in front of their school, which is closing its doors to students next fall. The final graduation ceremony was held Friday evening at the school. Cherry Grade School residents voted in March to deactivate the school facility and send their children to Dimmick Community Consolidated School District in LaSalle County. A combination of evaporating state aid, shrinking property values and declining enrollment led to the deactivation.

A bittersweet ending for Cherry Grade School The last day, the last graduation, the lasting memories

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

CHERRY —Jacob Manfredini, Madison Soldati and Courtney Kobold will go down in history as the final three graduates of Cherry Grade School.

On Friday evening, the three eighthgraders graduated from Cherry Grade School in a final ceremony at the eastern Bureau County school. Starting in the fall, Cherry students will go to Dimmick Grade

School.

Jacob, Madison and Courtney talked about their years at Cherry, the distinction of being the final graduating class, and the foundation they believe Cherry Grade School has given them as they look forward to attending Hall High School next fall.

Jacob and Courtney have been classmates since kindergarten with Madison joining them in first grade.

Being part of the final eighth-grade graduating class from Cherry Grade School is a cool thing, Jacob said. It’s something nice

to remember, he added.

Madison agreed but acknowledged there is a bit of sadness that comes with knowing they are the last graduating class.

“I do feel kind of special, as the last graduating class, but I also feel kind of heartbroken,” Madison said.

Friday’s graduation ceremony is not just a big step for the three eighth-graders, but also for the school itself, Courtney said.

“In a way, it is like the Cherry Grade School is graduating too, since it won’t be back next fall either,” she said.

Cherry veteran is subject of history fair project

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

CHERRY — Cherry Grade School fifth-grader Taytum Hahn finished her school year with a superior rating at a state history fair with her project on a Cherry veteran.

Taytum titled her essay, “Col. Dante Bulli: Cherry’s Hometown Hero.” With Cherry Grade School closing its doors to students this year, it’s especially nice to honor Bulli who was a Cherry Grade School graduate and attended Cherry High School, Taytum said.

Taytum learned of Bulli from her grandfather, who knew Bulli personally. Taytum was able to interview Bulli, who now lives in Nebraska, by phone and also make contact with Bulli’s son, John, who helped provide information for her project. She even received a photo of Bulli from the veteran for her project.

In her essay, Taytum said Col. Bulli enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in 1942 and was in active duty by 1943. He fought in the World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War. He was a member of the Strategic Air

There have been some real advantages to being part of Cherry Grade School, and the school has given them a good foundation as they head into high school, the eighth-graders agreed.

“A big advantage is that with the smaller class sizes at Cherry, the teachers can work individually with the students and give them the help they need,” Jacob said.

Also, with combined grades in each classrooms, the older students get to review the lessons being taught the younger students, and the younger students get to pick up things being taught to the older classes, Courtney said.

There’s also a closeness that develops with not just the other students, but also with the teachers, inside and outside of the classroom, Madison said.

“It’s been like a family here at Cherry. There’s no drama.

Everyone gets along here,” she said.

With a good academic foundation in place, the three agreed they are looking forward to

Command for 20 years. He was trained to fly the B52 Stratofortress-C, an $8 million aircraft.

Taytum continued in her essay to tell of Bulli’s experiences and accomplishments in the

Air Force, retiring in 1974 after 32 years of service and more than 10,000 hours of flying time in more than 30 aircraft.

“For me, the best part of doing this project was getting to talk

with Mr. Bulli. He is a hero to me,” Taytum said.

In addition to Taytum, Cherry Grade students Payton Kerper, Kaitlynn Donovan and Madison Soldati also had history projects

which qualified for state. Payton and Kaitlynn received superior ratings with Madison receiving an excellent rating.

through eighth grade, which I know will happen at Dimmick too,” Ring said. “But I also know it’s time to move on. We just can’t provide the services that we need to do for the kids anymore. The opportunities at Dimmick will be unbelievable for them.”

Cherry Grade School has done a good job preparing its students for Dimmick and Hall, Ring said.

The smaller classrooms and the one-on-one attention teachers were able to give the students has been great. Cherry Grade has consistently done very well on state tests. The school has had a great staff through the years, she said.

Looking ahead to the start of school next fall, Ring said the Dimmick School District, its staff and students have been very welcoming to Cherry, and she sees the move to Dimmick as a very positive thing for the Cherry students. She sees no problems academically or socially for the kids as they make their adjustments to a new school.

“But I think they will still have that little piece of Cherry in their hearts, as I will,” Ring said. “I know this is definitely a positive change for us, but it’s going to

be a hard day on our last day of school. It will be hard on the community as well. We have so many great memories here.”

But Ring has a favorite quote that she likes to remember when she thinks of Cherry.

“It’s hard to say good-bye, but memories never die.”

cessfully did. The board has had the best interest of the kids at heart. It was difficult for the board to say it was time to turn over the education of the Cherry children to another district, but the board knew another district could fulfill what the Cherry District could no longer financially support, Boyle said.

The Cherry staff also has to be commended for its commitment to providing top quality educational programs and for always maintaining the highest standards of excellence, Boyle said. In his five years at Cherry Grade School, the school has always met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). The Cherry staff have been some of the most highly qualified and highly educated people with whom he’s ever worked, the superintendent said.

Being part of the Cherry Grade School District has been a great experience, he added.

“I’m very proud of Cherry Grade School, of our history and service to our children and their families. I’ve been privileged to be an administrator here,” Boyle said.

From a teacher’s perspective Not only is there a sense of anticipation, with a little sadness, for the eighth-graders with Friday’s graduation, Cherry Grade School teacher Jennifer Ring said there’s a bittersweet feeling for the staff as well.

Ring has taught at Cherry Grade for 13 years, with 10 of those years in the first/second grade classroom and the last three years in kindergarten.

Next year, Ring will teach first grade at Dimmick Grade School, which means she will have her Cherry kindergartners next year as well. It will be nice for them, and her, to have a familiar face when they start school next year, she said.

“It’s definitely bittersweet, the closing of Cherry Grade School.

It’s such a close knit family here. It’s been nice to see the kids come in as kindergartners and see them go up all the way

From the superintendent’s view “Cherry Grade School has a long and distinguished history of service to our children and their families, built on great traditions, high standards of excellence and community values,” Superintendent Jim Boyle said.

“The people here are so supportive of their children, and they really value education, and they know that education is going be vehicle for their child to enhance success. The students have been so dedicated and so respectful.”

Looking at the pathway to this moment of change, Boyle said the Cherry Grade School Board of Education has been a very dedicated board who wanted to keep the school open as long as it could, which is what it suc-

Heartland Bank plans shred day

Sam Thiemes of Van Orin points out three dead deer he found alongside Route 92 Monday morning.

There was no evidence that showed the deer had been hit by a vehicle traveling through. Thiemes explained it was as if the deer had died at the same time from a sort of poison or disease.

PRINCETON — Heartland Bank and Trust Co. will host a community shred day from 8:30 to 11 a.m. June 21 at its 2101 N. Main St., Princeton, office.

Oh, Deer!

Three dead deer found on roadside

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

​VAN ORIN — A Van Orin farmer is concerned about finding three dead deer alongside Route 92 near Van Orin Monday morning.

Sam Thiemes reported there had been no evidence the deer had been hit by a passing vehicle, but rather it looked as if they had just dropped

dead before crossing the road.

The deer were discovered laying in the ditch in front of Bache Memorial Chapel around 8 a.m.

Thiemes said he used to hunt deer in the area years ago, and also worked for the state of Illinois, traveling to many areas around Illinois and had never seen three deer dead together like he witnessed on Monday.

“If it would have been one deer, I wouldn’t have worried as much,” he said.

“But three deer? That worries me.”

Thiemes suspected the deer had gotten into some sort of poison, a chemical sprayed by a local farmer or a disease. He pointed out thrashing marks on one of the deer and said it was evidence that the deer had been thrashing around on the gravel before it died.

After finding the deer, Thiemes said he contacted the Illinois Department of National Resources (IDNR) and later on Monday, the deer were taken from the site.

The Bureau County Republican attempted

Pool closure planned to contact the IDNR, and while officers in the Bureau County jurisdiction said they were not aware of the incident, it was not uncommon for a group of deer to obtain a disease at once and die.

A representative from the IDNR said there are a tremendous amount of diseases out there that deer can pick up. He mentioned Bluetongue disease, which is a common non-contagious, insect-borne, viral disease.

Bill would require cities and counties to get audit presentation

By Matt Mencarini Shaw Media Service

DIXON – Illinois cities and counties could soon be required to get annual audit presentations.

State Rep. Tom Demmer, R-Dixon, sponsored HB5503, which unanimously passed both chambers of the state Legislature on May 22.

It now awaits Gov. Pat Quinn’s signature to become law, which Demmer said he expects to happen.

The bill, Demmer said, was inspired by former Dixon Comptroller Rita Crundwell’s theft of nearly $54 million over two decades.

!

Before Demmer’s bill, which was co-sponsored

by State Sen. Michael Connelly, R-Wheaton, cities and counties were required to have an audit completed and filed with the Illinois comptroller’s office.

But that was it.

“There’s a big difference between getting an audit done and doing something with it,” Demmer said.

Now, cities and counties will be required to post the audits on their websites, if they have them, and also to hear an audit presentation from the auditors during a public meeting.

The bill strikes a balance, Demmer said, to improve government accountability and trans-

parency without burdening governments that are doing the right thing.

The audit’s presentation to the county board or city council must happen within 60 days of its competition. It can be made in person or live by phone or video conference.

Each member of the board or council must also be given a copy of the management letter and any audited financial statements.

Demmer, who previously served on the Lee County Board, said there’s “great value” in being able to ask auditors questions, especially if elected officials don’t have backgrounds in accounting or finance.

Annual Beef & Ag Days Tractor Parade The 10th annual Beef & Ag Days tractor parade will take place on Friday, June 20 in conjunction with the Bureau County Farm Bureau annual Tractor Trek.

The event will kick off at 7 a.m. with a freewill donation breakfast at the Farm Bureau. Tractors

will depart from the Farm Bureau at 8:30 a.m. for a ride through rural Bureau County and parts of Lee County. There will be some stops along the way to look at fellow antique tractor collections.

Riders will meet back at the courthouse at 4 p.m. in time for refreshments

and the traditional ribeye cookout for Beef & Ag Days.

An event fee will be $40 a person. The money raised will support the Bureau County Cattlemen Association’s scholarship program.

To ride, participants must show proof of insurance

not needed. Donations will not be taken. When children and young people sign in each day, they are asked only their name and age, so organizers have an idea of how much food to order. They are not even asked to identify their town, Severinski said.

More volunteers are needed at all three sites to help with the programs. A volunteer training session is set for 4 p.m. Tuesday at the First United Methodist Church. A second training session will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday at Spring Valley City Hall.

Both trainings will take about an hour and a half.

Volunteers are needed in a variety of ways, including serving the meals, cleanup and helping with organized activities prior to the noon meal. Volunteers may help out as much as their time allows. Anyone interested in learning more about becoming a volunteer is strongly encouraged to attend a training session, Severinski said.

The Spring Valley, DePue and Princeton programs are among the 50

Summer Food Service Program sites • The DePue program runs from June 3 through July 18, Monday through Friday, at the DePue Unit School, 204 Pleasant St. Lunches are served noon to 1 p.m.

• The Princeton program runs from June 11 through Aug. 15, Monday through Friday, at the First United Methodist Church, 316 S. Church St. Lunches are served from noon to 1 p.m. Organized activities will be held from 10 a.m. to noon.

• The Spring Valley program runs from June 13 through Aug. 15, Monday through Friday, at Spring Valley City Hall, 215 N. Greenfield St. Lunches are served noon to 1 p.m.

free summer lunch programs statewide sponsored by the ICCS. The programs are funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered by the Illinois State Board of Education.

Severinski said prior to establishing the local programs, the ICCS met with a variety of community leaders to work on a needs assessment of each community. It was the community members themselves who identified a summer food program as a need.

In order to qualify for the federally-funded pro-

gram, a community must have at least one school in the community which has more than 50 percent of its students qualifying for free or reduced school lunch program. There are definitely other schools in the area which qualify for the program, and the ICCS would like to expand the program in the future, she said.

Both the Princeton and Spring Valley lunch programs will include organized activities prior to the noontime meal.

DePue does its own activities more concentrated through the local 4-H pro-

and a valid driver’s license.

The event is open to the public, and anyone with a 1970 or older antique tractor is invited to join in. The event is always looking for newcomers.

Speaking to the needs in the Princeton community, Tri-County Opportunities Council Director Vanessa Hoffeditz said the Princeton-based food pantry serves 160170 households, with the needs going up during the summer. With school out for the summer, there is a gap that needs to be filled to provide area children with a nutritious lunch. By meeting that lunch need during the week, hopefully that will free up money for weekend meals. But again, the ICCS summer lunch program is not just for families who use the food pantry, she said.

For more information on the program or information about how to volunteer, contact Severinski at 440-376-1005 or by emailing her at jillian@ organizing-communities. org.

Also at Thursday’s committee meeting, the topic of bring a medical marijuana growing site into the city was briefly discussed.

Mayor Walt Marini mentioned how the city of Peru recently had passed an ordinance to allow the business to come into their jurisdiction.

“If we don’t pass the ordinance, we don’t have a chance of getting (the business). We got to pass the ordinance to even be in the running and after we did, the chances of actually getting the business are slim to nothing,” he said.

Many alderman made remarks about keeping the business out of the city. Alderman Tom Nesti said his reaction was no and to let someone else have it.

Alderman Chuck Hansen showed support for the business.

“Different communities and counties are getting millions and millions off of it,” he said.

“I think we’re looking at it as a negative thing and it’s not.”

No further discussion on the council considering an ordinance took place. When asked about putting the ordinance on the agenda for a vote, Marini shook his head no.

On the line ...

In my travels the other day, I watched an older lady hanging clothes on the line. A couple of sheets already flapped in the breeze, as she continued hanging a few pairs of jeans and a couple of other items on the line. It’s something you don’t see very often anymore — clothes on the clothesline.

I don’t mind telling you I immediately longed for those moments from yesteryear. Funny how something so simple as a clothesline full of clean laundry could create a current of memories on that dusty old road to Memory Lane.

The clothesline on the farm was frequently filled with elements that could identify us as a farming family. Grandpa’s bib overalls clearly gave it away, and a myriad of flour sack dish towels and Grandma’s aprons followed right behind them. Those clothes and other Terri laundered items represented work — after Simon all, doing a load of laundry wasn’t as easy as just throwing them in the washing machine and waiting for the buzzer to signify they were finished. A conversation I had the other day with friends about those wringer washing machines, wash tubs, getting your fingers caught in the wringers, etc., certified my memories were correct.

But years ago, that clothesline represented far more than a week’s worth of laundry on the farm. That’s right ... a clothesline was the perfect host for a backyard teepee filled with all kinds of adventures.

We would find the old, green wool blanket that we only used outside. It was hot and scratchy, and nobody wanted it on their beds. The silky trim on the blanket had clearly seen better days, so none of the adults really cared if we turned that blanket into an afternoon of fun. We just needed one more old quilt or blanket to complete our new outdoor dwelling, and after begging Grandma for way too long, she’d finally give in and find us something to complete our teepee.

Using Grandma’s clothespins that hung from a bag on the clothesline, we’d clip the tops of the two blankets to the clothesline, and then we’d be on a scavenger hunt to find some big rocks or bricks to hold the bottom of each blanket in place. It didn’t matter how long it took because the fun waiting for us was worth every minute. Finally, we’d pull the bottom of each blanket out as far as we could, and then we’d place the rocks and bricks on the bottom of the blanket to hold them taut.

The result? A perfect teepee, tent, clubhouse — a hideaway from our adults, where adventures could be planned, carried out and remembered.

We’d spend hours in our new clubhouse. We ate Popsicles in there, and our fingers were often stained red from snacking our raspberries from Grandma’s berry patch.

We’d make plans for the rest of the day and set itineraries for the rest of the week. We’d take Tinker Toys inside and build things. Our Barbie dolls loved it inside that teepee, and so did the neighbor kids down the road. It was a great place for a game of checkers. Sometimes we’d read — laying on our backs in the hot, sultry and stuffy confines that baked us between two woolen blankets. The possibilities inside our tent were endless ...

But mostly, we talked. We giggled. We laughed. We dreamed — mostly of things we knew we’d never have and places we knew we’d never go — yet it didn’t stop us.

It was a bit of paradise to a handful of farm kids on a hot summer day.

I seldom see clotheslines anymore, and if I do, they usually hold nothing more than memories — no sheets flapping in the breeze, no bib overalls, no aprons ... and certainly no tents built by children who needed a place all to themselves to share some good old fashioned fun and develop dreams that might or might not come true.

Richard Widmark: A Princeton legend Connections: The Apollo Theater and Henri’s Bakery

By Bartlett Lee Kassabaum Special to the BCR

Editor’s note: This is the first part in a three-part series on Richard Widmark’s connections in Princeton.

Richard Widmark loved making movies. He was a nut about them ever since his grandmother took him to see his first film at the age of 3 in 1917. Looking back at his career, he had this to say, “When I finally came to Hollywood, I thought I was in seventh heaven. I could hardly wait to get to work at (20th Century) Fox in the mornings. Then I lived just a 10-minute drive away in Mandeville Canyon, and I’d whistle as I drove to work thinking, ‘Hot dog, I’m going to make a movie today.’ But it was hard work. Some years, I’d make as many as four movies.”

Mary Barr was the grandmother who introduced him to the movies. She was his maternal grandmother, of Scottish descent (she was from Kirkudbright, a town in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland) and 57 when she took him to see his first film. These were the silent movies, and young Widmark wouldn’t see his first “talkie” until they moved to Princeton and went to The Apollo Theatre.

Barr’s favorite was Tom Mix, and Widmark liked Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Boris Karloff, the Dracula movies, “oaters” and Harold Lloyd. They saw every genre of movie. Widmark collected and read the silent movie magazines.

He was a tremendous reader his entire life, anything from the French dramatist Moliere (Jean-Baptiste Poquelin) to pulp magazines.

His addiction to the movies continued right into his adult life. When he did theatre and radio in New York City in the late 1930s and early 1940s, he went to the New York Museum of Modern Art and viewed every silent movie in the extensive library.

The Apollo Hall (The Apollo Theater) was brand new in 1884. It was erected in 1883 at a cost of $22,000; it was the largest opera house in Bureau County and had a seating capacity of 1,200. It was host to conventions, social gatherings, minstrel shows, traveling plays, musicals, dances, high school junior-senior proms, vaudeville, roller skating, auto shows and meetings of all kinds.

The first movies, the silent “one- and two-reelers,” were first shown in 1909.

There was piano music to accompany the first movies, and then a pipe organ was added in the early 1920s.

The sound movies started in 1927, and the first marquee was added in 1931.

The theater closed for renovation for a few months at the end of 1930 and reopened in April 1931. The renovation was done by Hal Opperman and Sons of Pontiac, who had the lease. The renovation cost was $125,000 for the new marquee, a larger screen, better sound, and soon to come “air washed cool air.”

Opperman subleased the theatre to E.E. Alger of Peru. The Apollo was now one of his chain of seven movie houses. The new ads promoted it as Alger’s Apollo Theatre. The Widmark family arrived in Princeton in 1925 and lived above their bakery at 514 S. Main St. The Apollo Theater is still located at 455 S. Main St., where it continues showing movies today.

Widmark remained a constant movie-goer when his family moved to Princeton. He still went with his grandmother, and as he got older, it was with his younger brother Donald, also. When the brothers went to a movie comedy, Widmark’s laugh could cause an “Uhoh, the Widmark boys are here” from someone in the audience.

The family moved many times while in Princeton, and the bakery moved to 450 S. Main St. in 1929. Widmark had many jobs for income, besides working in the family bakery, and one was as a doorman at The Apollo Theater while in high school. He got into the movies for free when he had that job. Widmark saw silent films at the Apollo and then the “talkies” when they hit the screen in the late 1920s.

Six degrees of separation is the theory that everyone is six or fewer steps away from any other person in the world, so that a chain of “a friend of a friend” statements can be made to connect any two people in a maximum of six steps. It was originally written about by Hungarian author Frigyes Karinthy in the short story “Chains” in his book “Everything is Different” (1929) and popularized by American playwright John Guare in his play “Six Degrees of Separation” (1990), an intricately plotted comedy of manners about an African-American confidence man who poses as the son of film star Sidney Poitier, (a good friend of Richard Widmark). In today’s world it is said that now it is three degrees of separation with all of the social-networking in constant use.

It seems that for Widmark you could say it was ALWAYS ... three degrees of separation; himself, the silver screen and the actors on it. The connections must have left him in wonderment and awe. He was absolutely correct to think “he was in seventh heaven” when making movies. Seeing actors on the screen from the age of 3, through his high school years, in New York City whenever he could watch and study, and then to actually share the screen with them.

I can only imagine what that must have been like.

“The Lone Star Ranger” played at the Apollo on April 11-12, 1930. “Riders Of The Purple Sage” played at the Apollo on Dec. 4-5, 1931. “The Rainbow Trail” played at the Apollo on March 10-11, 1932. Widmark was the door man at the theater on all these occasions, and he got into the movies free. He saw these movies. All three movies starred George O’Brien, and all were made by Fox Film Corporation (20th Century Fox now, where Widmark had his first contract).

Widmark was 16-17 then, and 33 years later, he made “Cheyenne Autumn” (1964) with the very same actor, George O’Brien, filmed mainly over the same Monument Valley landscape. O’Brien played the “by the book” Major Braden; Widmark was the sympathetic Captain Thomas Archer; and they had several scenes together including the tense waiting scene in the first part of the movie. It was great drama and set the stage for the whole film, which I wrote about in my last article. It had to be some kind of déjà vu feeling for Widmark. He saw O’Brien on the screen at the Apollo 33 years ago, and now he was acting with the same man in the same Utah landscape. Edward G. Robinson plays Secretary of the Interior Carl Schurz in the movie.

Widmark saw him in “Little Caesar” (1931) at The Apollo also, the same year, and here they were on the screen together in “Cheyenne Autumn.” I wrote about Mae Marsh and the scene with Widmark in “Two Rode Together” (1961) in the first part of my article on John Ford and the Careys, and Widmark had seen her many times on the screen since his grandmother started taking him to the movies.

Mae Marsh starred with James Dunn (who?) in “Over The Hill” that played at the Apollo on March 13-14, 1932.

She made more than 100 movies in her career and was also in “Cheyenne Autumn” with Widmark.

“The Purple Rose of Cairo” (1985), “Stay Tuned” (1992), “Last Action Hero” (1993) and “Pleasantville” (1998) are fiction films. These movies have film viewer characters that either end up on the screen with the film characters in the movie or the on screen characters come off the screen and interact with the movie viewer characters. These connections are pure fantasy, but Widmark’s connections with performers on the silver screen became very real for him in his life and career.

I’ll get into more of these real connections with The Apollo, look at some movies that played at The State Theatre across the street, and check out the Widmark bakery next time.

The things that happen in real life can be stranger than any fiction. We don’t really control our lives — that’s only our own deception.

Sophia Suarez has caddied for the John Deere Classic Pro Am before. This year, she’s going to get to switch roles and play in it.

The Princeton High School senior-to-be golfer has been selected to represent Chevrolet and IHSA girls golf at the John Deere Classic Pro Am July 7 and 9 at TPC Deere Run in Silvis.

She was nominated by PHS athletic director Jesse Brandt and selected by Piehl’s Motors to represent their dealerships.

“I’m super excited for the opportunity to be able to play with the pros and be able to

John Deere Classic Where: TPC Deere Run in Silvis.

When: July 7-13 (The Pro-Am will be held July 7 and July 9. represent the IHSA girls golf and Princeton High School,” Suarez said. “It really hit me when I got to meet Jordan Spieth the other day. I can’t wait to see what else this experience holds.”

While the tournament is a month away, Suarez already got a taste of what lies ahead

by meeting Spieth, the reigning JDC champion, at a recent press conference. They also filmed a TV promo together with the reserved Suarez landing a speaking role.

“It’s actually really embarrassing. I did talk in it,” said Suarez, noting they give a plug to Chevy as being No. 1 and a thanks to select Chevy dealers. She is not sure when the commercial will air.

PHS coach Will Gross was happy to see Suarez selected.

“What a wonderful experience and a great honor to such a wonderful young lady,” he said. “It really excites me to know that her dedication, hard work and

leadership skills have paid off in absolutely huge way.

“She has been humble through the process and demonstrated exactly what the opportunity and game stand for.”

While Suarez has caddied the tournament, she has yet to play the course.

Suarez was the 2013 BCR Golfer of the Year as a junior for Princeton. The Three Rivers Conference runner-up led all area golfers with a 48.4 average.

She’s played a key role in getting the Tigresses to the sectionals the past two years and aims for a three-peat this fall.

The Wild(er) Thing

Arnadottir leaves her mark at Bureau Valley

By Patrick Mason Shaw Media Service

She couldn’t hold them back any longer.

Bureau Valley’s Helena Osk Arnadottir’s eyes started to glisten with a coat of fresh tears. She tried to blink fast, and even deployed a swift swipe of her left hand to whisk away the salty liquid, but they just kept coming.

Tears come from extreme emotion, good or bad, and Arnadottir was experiencing an overwhelming mix of the two.

Some were happy tears, and some were sad tears. I couldn’t figure out which was which, but you could almost see her mind working

overtime, trying to process everything. She said as she was thinking about everything, her mind was acting like a flip book, quickly pawing through memories.

“This is overwhelming,” she said with a shaky voice. “If you would have told me that I would come here, and be third place in state, I would have laughed at you.

This can’t be possible, or real.”

Oh, but it is.

Arnadottir and her Bureau Valley relay mates of Tiana Kennedy, Sabrina Webb and Lindsey Hoffert recorded a new school-best time in the 1,600-meter relay during Saturday’s finals of the Class 1A girls state track and field meet at Eastern Illinois in Charleston.

The four ran a time of 4:01.59, and Arnadottir, a foreign exchange student from Njardvik, Iceland, will be forever cemented in Bureau Valley track history.

The time set a school record, as the four unseated the previous record of 4:02.23 set in 2006.

What makes this moment for Arnadottir so special was she came to Manlius, a small town in Illinois, with hopes to experience life in the United States.

What she wound up with was a rolodex of new friends, and even left a lasting mark on a school that opened her eyes to track and cross country.

Resignations were accepted from David Gray as assistant girls soccer coach and Joann Bowman as assistant cross country coach. Gray previously was named as the varsity boys soccer coach.

At Bureau Valley: New Storm varsity football coach Spencer Davis has added to his staff with Chris Lindsey named as head sophomore coach and Mike Tumbleson, Robert Uzumecki Jr., Jason Smith and Aaron Jackson as volunteer coaches at the recent BV school board meeting.

John Matlick’s resignation as varsity baseball coach was accepted.

Bureau Valley’s Helena Arnadottir, a foreign exchange student from Iceland, helped the Storm 4x4 relay run down a thirdplace medal in the IHSA 1A State finals in Charleston.

“I can’t believe any of this,” she said, before turning away to collect herself. “This is really amazing.”

It was quite something to see. Here is a girl who has never ran track in her life, and no one figured – especially her – that the sport would change her life.

Most athletes are moved to extreme emotion based on winning and losing, but Arnadottir was flowing with emotion based on her journey over the past 10 months.

She told me that she couldn’t imagine heading back home in June. It almost slipped her relay mates’ minds that they would lose her, too.

After she spoke about her home, she was enveloped in hugs from her teammates.

“It’s funny how this all came together,” Webb said. “She is a wonderful friend, and one of the hardest workers I know.”

As the four posed for pictures with medals draped around their sun-

Hoffert, a junior and the relay’s leader, saw the teary-eyed Arnadottir and smiled.

“I am so happy for her,” Hoffert said. “We couldn’t have done any of this

without her. For her to be able to come over to a foreign country and change the people around her, that is special.”

Three simple things to do today to feel better tomorrow Doctor outlines easy changes that can vastly improve health, happiness and well-being “Imagine you’re a spider with just one leg,” says Dr. Frank King.

“You put forth immense effort to try to haul yourself around and not only does it wear you out, it’s frustrating and you don’t get far.” King is a chiropractor and doctor of naturopathy specializing in homeopathic remedies, and author of “The Healing Revolution.”

“It gets a bit easier with two legs and easier still with four legs. But it’s not till you have all eight legs that you can really dance.”

King explains the eight legs

represent eight essentials we need for optimum mental, physical and spiritual health: Empowering your human spirit; Water; nutrition; fitness; sleep; nature; relationships; and hands on techniques (touch).

“It would be overwhelming and self-defeating to look at all eight areas and think, ‘I have to make significant changes in every area immediately!’”

King says. “You don’t have to and who could? I know from my experience with countless patients and friends, and even in my own life, that you can see immediate results by making a few small changes at a time.”

King describes three that are easy to make and will have you feeling better quickly.

• Drink half your body weight in ounces of spring or well water every day. If you weigh 150 pounds, that’s 75 ounces of water (about 9 cups).

“Many of us walk around

dehydrated without realizing it, and that can have a significant effect on our health and how we feel,” King says. Dehydrated bodies trap toxins and encourage water retention – a natural defense against the chronic “drought.”

“Our bodies need the steady flow of pure, spring or well water. If you don’t like the taste, try mixing up to a teaspoon of sea salt into a quart of water,” he says.

A simple test for dehydration: Pinch the skin on the back of your hand and hold for three seconds. When you release, if the ridge from the pinch remains for more than a second, you’re probably dehydrated.

• Take at least a few minutes every day to connect with nature. Nature brings perpetual revitalization and ongoing renewal, especially when experienced through multiple senses: The smell of freshly turned earth

or evergreens in the woods; the touch of cool stream water on your face or feet; the sight of birds on the wing and budding blooms.

“These are not just pleasant little gifts to experience – we need them for restoration, renewal, revival and rehabilitation,” King says. “The more disconnected we become from the Earth, the more we inhibit our body’s natural ability to heal.”

• Take a brisk, 10- to 20-minute walk every day. Walking is the simplest, most natural form of exercise. You might walk a nature trail, walk to the store instead of driving or take your pet for a stroll.

“Three brisk 10-minute walks a day are as effective at lowering blood pressure as one 30-minute walk,” King says, citing an Arizona State University study.

“Outdoor walking is preferable to walking on a treadmill or other machine, since the

uneven surfaces and changing directions of natural walking will engage more muscles and tendons.”

Swing each arm in synchronization with the opposite foot to strengthen your cross-crawl functionality and mind-body balance.

Dr. Frank King is a chiropractor, doctor of naturopathy, and founder and president of King Bio, an FDA-registered pharmaceutical manufacturing company dedicated to education, research, development, manufacture and distribution of safe and natural homeopathic medicines for people and pets. King is also the author of, “The Healing Revolution: Eight Essentials to Awaken Abundant Life Naturally!” King raises yak, camel, boar, wisent and American bison sold under the Carolina Bison brand.

He is a member of the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia Convention of the United States.

All in a day’s work In the summer time, my friends always wonder why I can’t “hang out” with them.

While they are going to the pool or the movies, I am home every day working on my show heifers.

Each and every day, I have to feed, wash, brush and blow dry my show heifers. It takes several hours, but I really enjoy doing it. Don’t get me wrong ...

Every once in a while I get to hang out with them at the pool or movies.

Lauren McMillan COMMENTARY before you wash them. I have to wash them every day because we show Herefords, and their whites faces have to be REALLY white. Washing is my favorite activity during the day!

After you wash them, you spray sheen in their hair and brush them really well. You first brush their hair down to make sure they don’t have any curls.

Then you brush, brush, brush and comb the hair forward. You can’t miss a single spot – legs, belly, sides, neck, head and tail.

Then we take them back inside and blow them dry in their stall. It takes a REALLY powerful blower to dry an entire cow. The one we use is like using 30 of the driers that people use on their hair! When using the blower, blow forward starting at the front and work back, this will prevent you from creating lines in the hair. This time of year you don’t have to blow completely dry, as this keeps them cooler, and sometimes you can brush them dry, stimulating the hair.

By washing them every day and working with their hair a lot, you hope their hair grows long and straight. The fans help keep them cool, too. Also, the less sunlight the hair sees the more it will grow.

You want your cattle to have a lot of hair, so you can make them look pretty when they go to the show.

We always tie our show heifers with their heads up and encourage it to stand in the show position as much as possible.

This will get them accustomed to this stance and ready for the show ring.

Show day can be a long and tiring day if the heifer isn’t used to standing for long periods of time. This will make your life a lot easier come show day.

At night, we feed them supper and then turn them back out into their pasture. We try to do this close to dark, so that it is cool outside. When they go out in their pasture, we provide them a lot of fresh hay to keep them full.

Whew! What a day, but I love it! I feel truly blessed to live on a farm and to show cattle. I can’t imagine life any other way!

Lauren McMillan is a seventh-grader at Logan Junior High School and works on her family cattle farm in Tiskilwa.
