‘We want to stay open ...’

Bureau County Senior Center needs assistance to avoid closing its doors

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Senior Center (BCSC) helps countless elders in the community, yet due to actions by Illinois legislators, they will soon receive their last payment from the state for the foreseeable future.

Denise Ihrig, director at the senior center, said the financial situation affecting the BCSC is more than frustrating. They’ve made it to the point where they’re cutting back staff hours and referring individuals to BPART for transportation because they cannot afford to shuttle seniors to the bank, the doctor’s office or the grocery store.

“We will continue providing all activities here at the senior center and make sure someone is always here, but our last check will come in the middle of July for June expenses,” Ihrig said, adding they will continue to stay functional as long as possible, but the BCSC relies on donations and state funding, the second of which has been severely lacking for quite some time. “When we’ve exhausted all our expenses, that’s it;

we will be done.”

Ihrig said last year the BCSC provided 14,000 one-way transports for seniors and serves as an important part of their daily lives. She recently waited at an event with hopes of asking Gov. Bruce Rauner some important questions but was not allowed access to him, and Ihrig recently spoke to State Rep. Andy Skoog as well.

“Skoog said the committees were meeting, and if the three top dogs wanted to fight they can fight, but the committees were trying to work it out,” Ihrig said, relaying she felt hopeful about Skoog’s words, but Rauner has since vetoed all bills on his desk, including ones to benefit the livelihood of the BCSC. “Ultimately, who is going to suffer but every senior in Bureau County,” she said rhetorically, adding the community and area donors have been so very generous to the cause of the BCSC, and every dollar contributed to the BCSC is greatly appreciated. “We want to stay open.”

No county administrator hired County board tables issue

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Board took no action on hiring a county administrator at its meeting Tuesday, June 14.

Keith Cain, chairman of the ad hoc committee seeking a new county administrator, told board members they needed to discuss several issues dealing with the hiring in a closed session, which lasted 15 minutes.

The county has been without an administrator since

February of this year when Sue McLaughlin left the post.

She had been hired for the position in July 2015.

Also discussed during the closed session at Tuesday’s board meeting was a possible settlement agreement with a sheriff’s department employee. No action was taken on this issue. More discussion needed to be done on a negotiated settlement agreement with Dawn Dove, a former department employee dismissed by for-

Honoring liberty on Flag Day

The road between the oceans

Two Germans ride their bicycles across the United States B y Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The quickest route across America, from the West Coast to the East Coast, stretches almost 2,100 miles. If a person were traveling in a car at 60 miles per hour, it would take around seven days of travel time to make the trip.

If a person were traveling on a bicycle, it would take a life-changing experience to pedal their way across the country.

A few years ago, Bastian Heimberger read about a guy who bicycled across the United States, and the man’s testimony was laced with adventure and personal expansion. The spark was lit, and Heimberger and his friend, Albert Liebermann, have been planning ever since for the day they got the wheels rolling on a 4,000mile expedition from California to New York.

The two young Germans — who grew up in Bavaria — headed out of Frankfurt and flew into San Francisco on April 4.

They were both able to fly their personal bicycles in with them for $75.

Having gained encouragement from their families and a bit of ribbing from their friends, they put the wheels in motion on a route only a few have ever attempted.

“To begin with, we had to save up some money for food and lodging and map out the three-month trip,” Heimberger said, noting he chose roads with low traffic and ones that might pass through

iconic cities or by national monuments. “I’m really interested in beautiful nature with nice passes and mountains, so we tried to find those kinds of roads.”

The two enthusiastic explorers hit the Rocky Mountains within the first few weeks of their journey across the home of the brave, saying the 12,000-foot climb was a test of endurance right off the bat. They rode through bad weather and snow, watching skiers on the side hills giving them strange looks as the cyclists searched for a cold patch of ground to rest on behind a pitched up picnic table.

Liebermann said they have tried to average around 60 miles per day, so they can take some days off here and there; to relax, kick back or see something exceptional.

The cyclists carry clothes, food, cooking supplies and camping gear on their bikes, but haven’t had to take out their wallets or their sleeping bags as often as they assumed heading in.

“It’s really crazy; people have invited us to sleep in their backyards or on their couches and have bought us so much food. We’re saving so much money because people are so nice,” Heimberger said, explaining in Germany the news about America speaks of evil and deceit on a regular basis, yet they’ve been shown the opposite in their interactions with open-armed Americans.

The men said they are

about five days ahead of schedule, having already surpassed the halfway point of their journey through 2,500 miles of the American western stretch. Each day they reconfigure the route, waking up to check what cool cities or scenic views are within a 50- to 75-mile radius. A website called warmshowers. com links a community of cyclists who offer food, a hot shower and a bed to each other on their journeys around the globe.

Heimberger wears a grin throughout his conversations — using his grandmother’s bike as his vehicle — and he scheduled this trip to follow his graduation from college with a degree in sports management.

Liebermann is a mellow philosopher who got a few months off from the Navy to join his friend on their spin through the many miles.

They both said there is not much on earth like gliding downhill while watching animals bound across the open plains, or smiling as the sun waves goodbye to the multi-colored sky to drip beneath the sill of the horizon.

“America is just amazing; all the people are so friendly and wide open to us and welcome us each day,” Liebermann said.

“There is a lot of beauty in this country, and it’s interesting to see how the different states we pass are changing all the time.”

The two men have had to de-ice their bikes in a hotel shower; they’ve drove into cold and gusting winds that seemed

Bastian Heimberger (left) and Albert Liebermann dedicated three months of their lives to bicycling across the United States. The two Germans said the experience from San Francisco to New York has been overwhelming in every good way; a journey they will not soon forget. uphill in all directions.

They’ve dealt with broken spokes, sore muscles and baking sun.

They may ask themselves on the way up a steep mountain road … Why am I doing this? … but when they make it to the summit and glance down across hundreds of miles of gorgeous globe, they have but one question left — how can I be so blessed?

“My idea was not just to ride a bike, but to see all the country and what it’s all about, and so far the people have been amazing. I didn’t expect it to be like that,” Heimberger said, adding the two friends scribble into journals, blogs and Facebook streams and take

many pictures … and their German buddies who teased them before they left are the ones now cheering the loudest.

“It’s always fun, even though sometimes you think this part sucks, you still have to do those parts, and it’s always beautiful and amazing.

That’s life.”

The two Germans headed through Chicago on their way to Canada, where Heimberger plans to search out family members he has never met before. Their last big challenge will be the Appalachian Mountains on the final leg of the journey before they fly home on June 28.

Having gotten to know each other and them-

selves so much better already, both travelers were speechless for a moment when asked what it will be like when they, at long last, make it to the East Coast.

“It will be overwhelming when we finally get to the Atlantic Ocean,” Liebermann said, with Heimberger adding there is no actual map for the road between the oceans.

“I think at first you won’t be able to recognize you just rode your bicycle across the United States, but maybe on the flight back we’ll relax, look at each other and just laugh,” he said.

“I will never forget this experience.”

The event is open to the public.

EDCNCI hires chief executive officer Following a two-month search, the Economic Development Corporation of North Central Illinois (EDCNCI) has hired Ivan Baker as the chief executive officer for the new organization.

Baker has more than 30 years experience in economic development management, marketing and consulting, the last 13 years in the village of Tinley Park.

Under his direction there, the village was recognized as the first and only internationally accredited economic development organization in Illinois.

His management efforts also generated the distinction as national winner for economic development excellence from the U.S. Department of Commerce and the National Award for Municipal Economic Development from the National League of Cities.

“The EDCNCI has the potential to really change the future of the region,” stated President Jim Riley.

“With Baker’s leadership, our potential will be realized, and our children and grandchildren will have

the best hope for a great lifestyle as North Central Illinois citizens.”

“I am excited about the opportunity to work with the new EDCNCI organization and all of the regional partners,” said Baker. “Together, we can effectively build on your great success, promote a community/economic development program that serves residents, plus achieve important benchmarks in new tax revenue, capital investment, job creation and business development.”

Baker, who is originally from rural western Kansas, is married to wife, Mary, has two children and four grandchildren.

The EDCNCI is a tri-county organization of public and private investors from LaSalle, Bureau and Putnam counties. It grew from the universal ideal that through collaboration the area could showcase the region’s natural, business and workforce assets in order to retain and grow business and investment to our area.

“Baker brings a diversi-

fied wealth of knowledge and experience to our organization,” Riley said. “He has established professional contacts on both sides of the development process and is skilled in identifying programs and resources needed to finalize opportunities for growth.”

Baker is a certified economic developer (CEcD), an AICP Certified Planner, and an International Economic Development Council member since 1988. During his tenure as economic development coordinator and community development manager, he has successfully been responsible for over 9 million square feet and $2.5 billion in new commercial and industrial capital investments.

He coordinated nationally-recognized economic and business development with corporate executives and public-sector allies, organizing comprehensive multi-task responsibilities for business expansion, retention, and relocation ... including financing, training, real-estate site selection, staffing, tax

incentives, infrastructure improvements and public relations. The result has been hundreds of diverse corporate development projects for large and small businesses, including multi-million dollar investments by Fortune 500 companies and international firms.

Don Finley, mayor of Oglesby and vice president of the EDCNCI, expressed his pleasure on Baker’s recruitment.

“Baker’s the top in his field, and I see many good

things coming out of our organization with him at the helm.”

Next steps for the EDCNCI will involve meeting and working with area partners; creating a strategic plan; developing a brand and marketing presence; finalizing office space and hiring supporting staff.

Members of the Board of Directors will also be continuing to invite further involvement and investment from the area.

“It is satisfying to have the goals of the original

Ivan Baker steering group for this regional presence beginning to solidify and move forward,” Finley said.

Senior center

Walnut

From Page 1

“If the budget impasse continues for another year, then there won’t be a senior center in Bureau County.”

Denise Ihrig will go on as usual, but every person in the building can read the writing that is currently splattered across the wall.

“I would just as soon have the budget pass, even if it meant we had to take a 20 or 30 or even 40 percent cut across the board because then I would know how much I have to work with. I would rather have that than not have any idea about our livelihood,” Ihrig said, stating solemnly the BCSC has been a community sanctuary since 1981, and they want to stay and continue their great assistance, but the state has painted them into a corner and for the BCSC to continue they must openly ask Bureau County residents for help.

“If the budget impasse continues for another year, then there won’t be a senior center in Bureau County.”

mer Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, Administrative Law Judge Anna Hamburg-Gal made a ruling in 2012 that Dawn Dove should be reinstated as a deputy in the sheriff’s department.

As detailed in the judge’s 36-page document, the Policemen’s Benevolent Labor Committee union

filed a charge with the Illinois Labor Relation Board’s state panel on Feb. 3, 2011, alleging the county of Bureau and Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson had engaged in unfair labor practices in their dealings with Dove.

The two main issues of the complaint were: 1.

Whether the county and sheriff were in violation of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act when they issued a 27-day suspension to Deputy Dove and initiated charges against her

the respondents (county of Bureau and the county sheriff) had retaliated against Dove, in violation of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act, when the sheriff filed charges with the Bureau County Merit Commission seeking to terminate Dove’s employment because of her participation in organizing the Policemen’s Benevolent Labor Committee and because she filed a grievance over her earlier threeday suspension.

Nancy Carper, who does outreach at the BCSC, said her job is to literally go door to door in the community looking for ways to assist seniors.

When she first started, she could get individuals a homemaker, take them grocery shopping and get them produce at the farmer’s market for free, or assist them with securing their license plates for their vehicles.

Now, she isn’t sure she’ll be around in the future to help anyone with anything.

“They tell us the food coupons are going to come, but I don’t know,” Carper said, adding the BCSC is a resource center that just doesn’t have the funds, so Carper sends the area elders to agencies that do have the funds.

“If our funds are cut, I will not be here to tell them where to go, and if they do make it, there’s a good chance those funds won’t be there,” she said with concern. “I hate to tell people I’ll get them some help when I know it’s not there,” she added.

estimate, give or take $500. This variance is due to finding less or more repairs needing to be done.

The bid also states the repair would not be started before June 27 and would be completed within two weeks.

Stuhl stated he felt this expenditure might be appropriate as a test to see how this method works on the streets and how well it works after traffic use. If successful, this might save the village some money in the planning for street repairs in the future.

Board members asked Stuhl to obtain information how long it is predicted to last and also find out if residents would be able to drive on the streets after completion.

Stuhl agreed to find out this information and present to the board at the next meeting. At that time, possible action will be taken on this bid.

In other business: • Walnut Police Chief Glenn Lawson stated he and Walnut Village Superintendent Carl Minks are still seeking an individual to assist with barricades and other jobs for the Fourth of July celebration. He further stated the Princeton Explorers group will be available to assist with traffic control for the annual fireworks to be held on Sunday, July 3.

• Water and Sewer Committee chairperson Lee Sarver stated the sewer improvement project is moving ahead as planned. He encouraged board members to visit the sewer plant property to view the progress.

AMBUCS lends a hand to Buda boy, family BUDA — The family of Robert Longmire of Buda participated in the Interstate 80 AMBUCS chapter Spring Roundup and received a special adapted bike, so Robert could participate in a family activity and be more independently mobile.

Robert has several physical conditions which limit his ability to move easily in his home and community.

The Interstate 80 AMBUCS chapter, a non-profit based in Seneca, hosted the annual therapeutic tricycle fitting event for people with disabilities and extended their coverage area to Bureau County which has no designated area chapter.

Ron Swon, volunteer coordinator for the AMBUCS Chapter, worked with Robert and his family to be fitted by a team of professional therapists and received funding support through the AMBUCS donation program. The family was referred by an occupational therapist, Donna Augustyn-Sloan.

I-80 AMBUCS works with local therapists and the community to offer the Amtryke at little or no cost to the families. A small bike costs in the $400 range while a large bike costs about $1,400, depending on what attachments are needed.

Neighborhood hooligans My neighborhood has become the playground for a large group of unruly youth. I first saw them while I was walking with my dogs. I simply noticed them, thankfully there was no interaction because we were greatly outnumbered.

Dave They were loud, ramCook bunctious and seemed to be coming from COMMENTARY every possible direction. Then, just as quickly as they assembled, they dispersed.

As I returned home, my neighbor asked if I had seen them. The sight of youth in the neighborhood isn’t unusual, but neither of us could recall having ever seen such a large, rowdy gang of juveniles.

Later, as I was sitting on the steps of my back porch, and after I had filled the feeders and thrown some seeds around the yard, my wife filled the bird bath and watered plants. We were enjoying the peaceful sights and sounds of the birds and our squirrels when the gang of delinquents approached.

With a surprising amount of speed and noise, they charged from all directions. The five squirrels living in my tree welcomed approximately 25 of their adolescent associates and chaos reigned for the next 30 minutes. They were jumping tree to tree, branch to branch, leaping off of roofs, running down sidewalks and circling the tree at lightning speed. It was impossible to keep track of their whereabouts. I had my camera close by and struggled to get a photo of the youthfully high-speed group.

I noticed one had half a tail and another had what appeared to be several bloody bite marks on his back. It was no surprise the little fellow with the bite marks was the biggest agitator of the group and the initiator of the roughest play.

It was fun to watch, but it did get a little weird near the end of their visit. Everything got quiet for a minute, and they began an unusual chattering, different from what is normally heard from squirrels. We listened and noticed it was surrounding us.

I looked up, and there were several furry faces peeking over the edge of the roof. They also watched from the trees, garage, driveway, sidewalk, awning and from beneath the riding lawnmower. We were completely surrounded.

The group got eerily quiet. A lone member of the gang, sitting at the edge of my yard began loudly chattering and shaking his tail at us as his friends kept watch. I laughed as he began to charge, chattering and flashing his tail. He was cute. I expected the change of direction that’s always made before getting too close, but he didn’t make it. He kept his course and surprisingly ran right at us. It quickly occurred to me that perhaps I need a plan for what to do if he jumped on me, but thankfully he and the rest of them didn’t.

As he streaked by, close enough to grab if I’d had the inclination and speed, I tried to get his picture, but the camera only caught his rear and tail as he ran down the sidewalk and leaped over the fence. The group resumed their raucous behavior and with a final swirling frenzy dispersed in all directions, and the yard fell silent.

Our easy winter and pleasant spring have certainly helped the local squirrels to have large families this year.

I’ve also had several more cardinals and frequent visits from birds usually seen only occasionally. Rather than one toad hopping around, there are several. Everything is flourishing and our yard has never been better.

This rough-housing play date has occurred for several days in a row now and usually at the same time. We’ve begun to try and schedule our time outside accordingly, so we can watch them. My dog, who enjoys nothing more than to spend a lazy day in the shade of our large tree, is kept inside until the hyper little mob moves on to another area. The few squirrels normally residing in our tree don’t mind him much, and he feels likewise.

However, if my tree dwelling neighbors continue to raise such lively offspring I may have to consider how to keep their youthful energy focused in a positive direction. A large group of misguided youth could spell trouble for the dogs of the neighborhood. Come to think of it, my experience with this furry little gang of delinquents was likely similar to my dog’s worst nightmare ... squirrel invasion.

TO Letter THE Editor

The horror that unfolded Sunday To the Editor, Many of us awoke Sunday morning to a sunny day, anticipating a worship experience at our churches, seeing our fellow congregants. If we tuned in to news we learned of the horror that had unfolded at Pulse night club in Orlando. Tears, anger, sadness, horror, an abiding grief overshadowed anything else that day. How could this happen? What can we do in our country to make sure these things don’t happen, or don’t happen again?

Consider the cultural backdrop. Many Christian denominations hold to positions that exclude, censure, condemn or otherwise malign people who identify as LGBT. This creates a wider culture that says it’s OK to insult, exclude, condemn people “in Christian love.”

Some jump from there to violence. Similar phenomena occur in other religions. You may be a member of one of these churches. While you may feel powerless to shift your denomination’s stance or what your pastor teaches, there are things you can do. You can let the people around you know that you don’t agree with killing, condemning or otherwise insulting or degrading anyone, and that includes gays. You can let people know that you stand apart from such “teachings.” In so doing you change the culture around you to one of compassion, kindness and love rather than vitriol and hate. At least others will know that insulting gays or any other group for that matter, does not occur in your hearing. Speak up. As we know from history, silence on the part of good people makes violence possible.

On another note, when violence of this magnitude erupts in mass killing, we look for reasons. Some quickly claim the shooter was mentally ill. This is an insult to our family and friends who struggle with mental illness.

The man who killed the African Americans who had included him in their Bible study in Charleston at Mother Emmanuel Church and the man who killed people Sunday may bear some similarities. Both were religious, and had become radicalized. That isn’t mental illness.

Distortions of Christianity and distortions of Islam have deadly consequences. What can we do? As Scott Peck reminds us, evil is committed by the sane. We can reveal that we don’t believe that when someone becomes a killer, or a killer of masses it’s because they are mentally ill. If someone is mentally ill, it does not follow that they kill people.

As a member of the LGBT community, a pastor, and one who has friends, family and congregants who struggle with mental illness, I invite you to compassion and relationships that share the best of your faith. Speak words of kindness. As the prophet said, “Do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God.” As Jesus said, “Love your neighbor.”

Rev. Mary Gay McKinney, Open Prairie United Church of Christ Princeton

Adding some grey into black, white thinking To the Editor, In response to “Speaking the Truth” article on June 9 in which the writer expresses the need for our country to bring back our faith in Jesus, I strongly disagree with comment.

First of all, the separation of church and state is one of the best things our founding fathers did. Past religious differences have caused millions of deaths in many cases for no reason than intolerance.

Secondly, the writer says Relativism undermines freedom of thought, however, this is false. In certain matters, the truth is not always clear, and Relativism keeps an open mind by continuing to search for alternative ideas. Religion has historically limited the freedom of thought. Is the writer aware the church used to burn, hang and stone heretics for teaching anything that disagreed with the Bible?

Remember how the Bible states the world is flat and how they banned the teachings of heliocentrism?

Thirdly, I infer the writer actually believes the world is black and white. For example, if the writer said to me, “Jesus is the way and truth of life,” and said this as an absolute truth, I would not just openly accept this as people have done for centuries. Instead, I would study this and look at both sides of the argument. Having studied Christianity deeply, I ask the writer, “Why is there no historical evidence that Jesus existed during his roughly 30 years on Earth?” All of the accounts of Jesus occur well after the time he would have lived and by people who never met him.

Furthermore, after reading and studying the Bible, I would ask, “Why are there so many errors and contradictions in the Bible?” When one statement in the Bible directly contradicts another passage in the same text, it is hard to say it’s black and white. Forgive me if I just took your black and white world and added a touch of grey. If you believe everything your priest tells you, then you become colorblind and only see black and white.

Psychology Today posted in 2014, “Secular societies fare better than religious societies.” Read the article and ponder how this could be if Jesus is the only way to morality. Additionally, if you do some more research you will find that the majority of prisoners affiliate with a certain religion that you refer to as the way and truth of life ...

John Purvis will speak at Princeton Public Library on June 22 PRINCETON — Retired history enthusiast John Purvis has always been fascinated by history in all forms. Armed with a camera and often accompanied by a friend, this Princeton resident enjoys traveling the back roads discovering local historical sites to record their stories in photos and words.

Every town and village in Illinois has at least one story to tell. Purvis

relays some of these on his blog at http://offthebeatenpathinillinois. blogspot.com and will share more at the Princeton Public Library at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 22. “Off the Beaten Path in Illinois” will revisit the Henry Thomas Memorial, Matson Corners, The Witness Tree, The First State Bank in Manlius, country schools, The Cannon in LaMoille, cemeteries at Heaton’s Point and St.

Paul’s, the Elijah Philips Memorial and more.

How many wish they had listened to the stories their grandparents told them as children? Wish they could recapture that feeling of boundless wonder? “Off the Beaten Path in Illinois” was created to attempt that and to bring silent and mostly forgotten places back to the light of day to the wonder and enjoyment of a new generation of listeners.

Health department releases inspection scores Midland hires Carr The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department makes routine and unannounced visits each month to various food service establishments in Bureau and Putnam counties to inspect the operations.

Health inspectors use an identical scorecard at each facility, where they check for health code compliance in 45 areas.

Each area carries a rating from one to five, with five being the most critical. Inspectors check the entire operations of the facility in 14 different categories, such as food protection, personnel, and garbage and refuse disposal.

Beginning with a score of 100 points, the health inspector deducts one to five points for every violation. The final total is the facility’s inspection report score. A passing food inspection score is 65 or above.

At 65, the Bureau/Putnam County ordinance allows the health department to close an establishment, but a score doesn’t have to be that low for the department to close it. It depends on the number of critical and non-critical violations and the type of violations. Certain combinations can create a domino effect for food borne outbreaks.

All inspection reports are a matter of public record and can be seen at the Bureau County Health Department in Princeton.

Down, but not out Bruins’ Dannis overcomes all hurdles on way to state titles

John Barnes (St. Bede/Sr.)

While he may have been a little disappointed not winning a state title in the discus, the St. Bede senior strong man still brought home two state medals. He was second in discus and seventh in shot and had BCR best throws of 184-3 and 53-10.

Kale Barnett (Bureau Valley/Fr.)

Just a freshman, Barnett made a name for himself by qualifying for 1A State in the pole vault. He had a season’s best 10-7.

By Kevin Hieronymus

Romeo Blackburn (Amboy/LaMoille/Sr.)

khieronymus@bcrnews.com

PERU — Bret Dannis was diving for the end zone in the first football game of the season last fall at Amboy when he got his left leg hit hard.

Having broken his right leg two years earlier in motocross, the St. Bede sophomore back knew it didn’t look good.

“As soon as I was laying on the ground, I knew it was broke,” Dannis said.

“That’s not the first time I’ve broken my leg. I’d broken my right leg in the eighth grade so I kind of knew what the feeling was like. It just goes numb. I picked it up and looked at it and that was that.”

He remembers the play vividly.

“We were running a sweep off to the right side, I got a toss and I was running out there and just got hit by the wrong people at the wrong time,” he said.

His thoughts quickly turned to track and wondering if he’d be able to run his beloved hurdles or not.

Dannis not only made it back to track, he ran off with state titles in both hurdles events. He became only the second Bruin athlete to achieve that feat, running himself into the academy and Bureau County record books.

For his accomplishments this spring, Dannis is the 2016 BCR Male Athlete of the Year. He is the first Bruin to receive BCR honors in 13 years.

He sustained a broken tibia and fibula, and had a rod placed in his leg from his kneecap down to

2016 BCR Boys Track and Field Honor Roll Team

The senior from Amboy went the distance to lead the honor roll in both the 1600 (4:49.49) and 3200 (10:01.74). He qualified for 1A state in the 3200.

Brett Dannis (St. Bede/So.)

Brett Dannis (St. Bede/So.): The St. Bede super soph overcame a devastating leg injury in football to turn in one of the best state finishes in school history. The BCR Track Athlete of the Year won both the 110IH and 300LH state titles in Class 1A, just the second Bruin athlete to win two state events in the same year.

The Dannis File • Became just the second St. Bede athlete to win two first place state medals in same year.

• Won the 110 HH with a time of 14.25.

• Won the 300 IH with a time of 38.89.

• Led the BCR Honor Roll in the 110 HH.

Baylee Hopps (St. Bede/Sr.)

His last name was quite appropriate as the St. Bede senior had plenty of hops in the triple jump.

The LaMoille product medaled with a ninth-place finish in 1A state, leading the honor roll with a jump of 43-5.

Will Konneck (Bureau Valley/Sr.)

The senior sprinter capped his career for the Storm by qualifying for 1A state in both the 100 (11.11) and 200 (22.82) dashes.

Bret Dannis • St. Bede his ankle. He was told to expect about a six-month recovery and ended up being released a month and a half early to full activity.

“I didn’t really know what to expect at first. We had surgery and Dr. Perona told me it was going to heal and be stronger than it was before,” Dannis said.

However, it was a slow process as he worked his way up to speed.

“All the tendons were tight and my range of motion was gone. It took a while to work that. I was

definitely feeling more (pain) than I was comfortable with,” he said.

“It was sore right where the break was and where they put the pins down by my ankle. I kinda pushed through it at the meets and rested it in practice during the week.”

After all he went through and came back to win the state titles, Dannis amazed a lot of people.

“People were saying how far I’ve come since the leg injury after watching it, and where I am now and how I’ve been progress-

ing, they think it’s just amazing,’ said Dannis, who placed seventh in the 300IH last year. “You really appreciate everything you have once that happens.”

Running track just makes Dannis go. He loves everything about it and it’s what he lives for.

“I just like the environment. I like the competition of it and just trying to run as fast as I can and trying to improve myself to see what I’m capable of doing,” he said.

Heitmann fund would bring a track to St. Bede It was remarkable that the St. Bede Bruins managed to place second in the IHSA Class A with just three athletes on hand this spring.

The fact the St. Bede track team has no track to call home and practice on a daily basis like the majority of their competition is simply unbelievable.

St. Bede track athletes like state medalists Bret Dannis, John Barnes and Baylee Hopps and state qualifiers like Zoe Postula, have trained for years on the parking lot and driveway of Academy Lane. Developing shin splints on the hard asphalt surfaces goes hand in hand with their

training.

Thanks to the spirit of a former St Bede track star, the realization of a track at the academy will come to fruition one day.

Thomas Heitmann was a standout athlete for St. Bede. He played football four years and was a state

track medalist in the 4x800 in 2001 and in the open 800 in 2002. He still holds school records today.

Heitmann took the challenges and lessons learned from his competition in track on to the U.S. Marine Corps.

In 2010, Heitmann reached out to St Bede Academy about having an all-weather track put in his at his alma mater. Tragically, just a few months later, on Sept. 19, 2011, Heitmann was killed in training exercises while flying an AH-1W Cobra helicopter at Camp Pendleton, Calif., along with a fellow marine.

His hopes for a track at the acad-

emy have not passed with him.

Heitmann’s family and friends are carrying his torch with the Captain Thomas John Heitmann Memorial Fund to go toward installing a track on academy grounds.

There is a webpage (www.tjhmemorial.com) sharing the story of Thomas Heitmann and his families desire to raise money toward a track at St. Bede. Their target goal is $500,000, of which they’ve raised $75,000 so far.

Kai Tomaszewski (Princeton/Sr.)

From Page 13 time at PHS and Bureau County. He led the honor roll in the 100 (11.04), 200 (22.5) and 300 IH (38.59). He placed fourth in the 300 IH in Class 2A, a time fast enough to take first in 1A, and qualified for state in the 200 and 4x100 relay.

Hunter Schoff (Bureau Valley/Jr.)

The Storm junior set a school record in the pole vault with a honor roll leading vault of 12-6, a foot higher than the event runner-up. It was the 110 HH, however, that Schoff hunted down a state qualifying trip with a season’s best time of 17.15.

Brett Schenck (Princeton/So.)

While he did not lead the honor roll, the junior sprinter qualified for 2A state in the 100 dash (11.07), second only to teammate Lenny Mead.

He also qualified for state in the Tigers’ 4x100 relay and ran on the PHS 4x200 and 4x400 relays honor roll leaders.

LucUs Sisler (Princeton/Jr.)

The blonde jumper jumped his way atop the honor roll at 6-4, four inches higher than the next area competitor. He qualified for the 2A State Meet.

Thomas Stamberger (Amboy/LaMoille/Fr.)

The future is bright for the freshman from LaMoille, who paced the honor roll in the 800 with a time of 2:09.74. He also ran on the Clippers’ state-medaling 4x800 relay with his brother, Alan.

State medal recap Boys from the BCR Honor Roll received seven state medals. Here’s a recap: • John Barnes (St. Bede): Second in the discus and seventh in the shot put (Class 1A).

• Bret Dannis (St. Bede): Firsts in the 110HH and

Every business idea needs the support to burn bright.

An ACL injury while jumping knocked the senior sprinter out of state contention. Before he went down, Tomaszewski topped the honor roll in the long jump (20-8 3/4) and 400 dash (51.52) and was a member of the Tigers’ top 4x400 relay.

Cody Workman (Princeton/Sr.)

The PHS senior was the top distance runner from Bureau County in both the 1600 (4:54.5) and 3200 (10:43.67), ranked second only to Amboy’s Romeo Blackburn.

• Princeton 4x100:

The Tigers qualified for 2A State on the legs of seniors Brock Griffin and Lenny Mead, junior Blake Janssen and sophomore Brett Schenck.

The Tigers turned in an honor roll top clocking of 43.51.

Former Hall catcher Luciana Mautino signs to play softball for IVCC. She is joined by (front row) her parents, Lena and Frank Mautino of Spring Valley; and (back row) Hall coach Brian Holman and IVCC coach Cory Tomasson.

Mautino catches on at IVCC

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

OGLESBY — The second half of the battery is complete for the IVCC softball program.

IVCC coach Cory Tomasson has announced his latest recruit, recent Hall grad Luciana Mautino, the Lady Devils starting catcher the past two seasons. She will join battery mate Adriana Pikula, the former Hall pitcher, who previously signed to play for the Eagles.

“We are really excited to have Luciana join our team,” Tomasson said. “She is a strong defensive catcher who has experience catching one of our incoming pitchers, Adriana Pikula. She has a good bat and is really quick.

We will need her speed in our lineup. I think she will come in and have an immediate impact.”

Mautino was a First Team Three Rivers All-Conference and All-BCR recipient for Hall. She will join an Eagles team that advanced to the NJCAA National Tournament for the first time this year.

• Notes: Hall junior third baseman/pitcher Rena Barroso received third team All-State selection by the Illinois Coaches Association.

Dannis From Page 13 competition when you get to state, he said.

“I feel like everyone rises to the occasion when they’re down there.

It really showed to me,” Dannis said.

He welcomed the challenge of bringing in the top times in each event.

“I think there’s always a little bit of pressure when you’re going into an event like that,” he said. “I just wanted to run a clean race, because I knew if I ran the times I’ve been running with a clean race everything would work out good.

“I hit a lot of hurdles throughout the season. When I got down to state, I really had a clean race. Only hit two or three hurdles and I think that really helped me. (I was) still staying low and really getting over them.”

His hurdles sweep matched the double won by former Bruin Brent Barth in 1976.

Dannis also had to work his way around not having a home track

Hieronymus From Page13 efforts come through a variety of ways such as golf outings (coming up Sept. 10), fish fries, special gifts and other efforts. Donations can also be made on the St. Bede website at www.st-bede.com/ Donations/.

Bret Dannis, who won state titles in both hurdles events this spring despite the lack of a home facility, said a track would be the best thing for the Bruins track program.

to work out on, the Bruins practicing at neighbor Hall in the evenings when the Red Devils were done with their practices. He said he never practiced the 300 hurdles once during the season, running them only at meets.

He said he is a little stronger in the 110s, because “I think just comes down to my endurance wasn’t the best this year.”

Dannis said it’s crazy to think what the Bruins were to able to accomplish this year with just himself and teammates John Barnes (2 medals) and Baylee Hopps (1 medal) competing.

“It’s great to represent St. Bede with our three guys down there. It really shows you don’t need a huge team to place at state. It shows St. Bede has some top athletes,” he said.

Dannis, an Arlington resident, said it was definitely intimidating when he first started running hurdles in the sixth grade for LaMoille Allen Grade School running against older kids. It didn’t take him long to “get the hang of it,” and by the next year, went on to win the first of two straight IESA state titles.

“That’d be the best thing I think we could do right now. I know it’d benefit everybody,” he said. “Just imagine the things St. Bede could do if they did have a track. It would help everybody in track and not in track.”

St. Bede athletic director Tom McGunnigal, who coached Heitmann four years in football, said Heitmann would be mighty proud of the Bruins accomplishments this spring.

“Thomas would have celebrated what our track team did. I’m sure he was looking down with a big smile for those kids and coaches and just the amount of

Dannis is trying to keep safe these days, leaving motocross behind.

“Yeah, I gave that up,” he said.

“After I broke my leg the first time, I said, ‘Yeah I’m done with these risky sports. I’m done breaking bones.’ And it happened again.”

And as of right now, he said he doesn’t plan on playing football in the future.

“I just want to focus (on track), keep progressing in track,” he said.

“I really like football a lot, but I’ve got to think about my future and what’s best for me. Track’s definitely the way to go for me.”

This summer, Dannis is working out with a trainer in the Quad Cities and will be going to the Nike Elite Hurdles Camp in Carthage College at the end of June. He already has his eyes set on an encore in Charleston.

“I’m just going to try to get faster times. I really want to be able to get my time down to 13s for the 110 hurdles and I just want to go down there and try to repeat,” Dannis said.

That feat will be just another hurdle to climb.

pride he was probably feeling,” McGunnigal said. “That was the very thing he went through, practicing at school without a track and having success at the state level.”

McGunnigal said it was truly an amazing accomplishment what the Bruins did this year and can’t help but believe they may have had a helping hand.

“I don’t know if we got the hurdles out here at school ever for Bret to work on. I know we don’t have a long jump pit. We’ve got plenty of lawn for John to throw the shot and discus all over the place,” he said.

Change Wet Into Dry

How many light bulbs can you find in 60 seconds?

Change the word WET into the word DRY in just five steps. Change only one letter at a time.

Need help? Look at how Coach Cortex changed a DOG into a CAT.

Will YOUR brain go soft over the summer?!? Not if you keep your mind active with these mind-boggling games and puzzles! Coach Cortex says, “Grab a pencil and let the workout begin!”

Standards Link: Language Arts: Change target sounds to change words; understand that as the letters of a word change, so do the sounds.

Cold Facts

Look at each math problem and the digits in each ice block.

Place a digit in each empty box so that the problem equals the answer. Use each digit in each ice block only once.

Tangram Triathalon

A tangram is an ancient Chinese puzzle that has been giving brains a real workout for centuries.

8 9 3 6 5

=7 8

Cut out the tangram pieces.

Can you make each of the following shapes?

• A square with 3 stars.

• A square with 13 stars.

• A triangle with 3 stars.

• A triangle with 13 stars.

• A rectangle with 6 stars.

• A rectangle with 7 stars.

Standards Link: Number Sense: Know addition facts and corresponding subtraction facts and use the inverse relationship to solve problems.

How many different trapezoids can you make using the tangram?

Can you draw this shape in one continuous motion without lifting your pencil and without retracing over any of the lines? We don’t think it’s possible—and we’ve tried and tried and tried!

Standards Link: Math: Geometry: Identify the attributes of common figures in the plane; put shapes together and take them apart to form other shapes.

How many differences can you find between these two pictures?

Look at the front page of today’s newspaper. Find and circle each letter of the alphabet. Can you find all 26?

Connect the letters with lines and color your design.

Standards Link: Language Arts: Word Analysis: Students know and recognize the letters of the alphabet; Reading Comprehension: Follow simple multiple-step directions.

Standards Link: Scientific Investigation: Find similarities and differences in common objects.

In newspaper comics, cartoonists draw a lightbulb appearing over a character’s head to show that they have just had an idea.
