Luecke sentenced

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Ryan Luecke, 31, of LaSalle has been placed on four years probation after pleading guilty in Bureau County Court to the Class 2 felony of aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a child under 13 years old.

Luecke appeared in court Tuesday morning before Circuit Judge Marc Bernabei.

As conditions of his probation, Luecke was ordered to serve three months in the Bureau County Jail on a work release program, ordered to continue sex offender counseling, ordered to pay fines, fees and court costs totaling $1,768 and to pay a $25 monthly probation fee.

Luecke was also ordered to register as a sex offender and to have no contact with the victim. There are also probationary restrictions placed on Luecke, as a result of his sex offense conviction, including restrictions on his activities and the use of the Internet.

Luecke has been represented in court by Peru attorney John Fisher. Prosecuting the case was Bureau County State’s Attorney Patrick Herrmann.

On Tuesday afternoon, Herrmann said he thinks the sentence, agreed upon by both sides, was a fair one under the circumstances. Luecke had gone immediately into counseling and continues to receive counseling. Luecke is working and has no prior record, Herrmann said.

Luecke was charged in November 2012 with the Class 2 felony of aggravated criminal sexual abuse for having sexual contact with a male juvenile during the 2012 summer camp at the Bureau County Metro Center in Princeton. At that time, Luecke was the recreation coordinator for the Metro Center. The victim was confirmed to be an 8-year-old boy.

Luecke had originally entered a not guilty plea on Dec. 18, 2012, and was free from custody, having posted 10 percent of a $25,000 bond.

He pleaded guilty to the crime on July 31.

‘Investing in their souls’ Parents hear message about what their kids need

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Parents have a bigger impact on their teens than they may think, according to Mike Donahue, author and motivational speaker.

About 100 people turned out for Monday’s community meeting with Donahue sponsored by the Community Partners Against Substance Abuse (CPASA) at

Princeton High School. During school hours on Monday and Tuesday, Donahue was scheduled to speak to all eighth-graders and high school students in both Bureau and Putnam counties through joint meetings at area schools.

At Monday’s community meeting, Donahue said his goal at the evening meeting was to encourage parents to help their kids reach for the “top shelf,” rather than the “bottom shelf” in life

— to reach for their dreams. Kids need to see and realize all they can do, and they need their parents to believe in them, he said.

Today’s children are under a lot of pressure, Donahue said. Every day when they walk into school, it’s like walking onto a stage, and it’s performance time. They feel judged and compared. That’s a high level of pressure, he said.

Van Drew dies at 68

Former WZOE Radio News/Sports Director Dave Van Drew was known as a professional and one who did his job with passion. Those who knew him off the air remembered him for his humor as well.

Van Drew died Monday at his home in Rochelle. He was 68.

Greg Halbleib, who worked with Van Drew for 12 years and succeeded him as WZOE news and sports director in 1992, called Van Drew a mentor and a friend.

Halbleib didn’t go to school to get into radio, rather learning the trade from Van Drew.

“I couldn’t ask for a better teacher who also was a great friend,” said Halbleib, now who works radio in Bloomington-Normal.

“David was such a pro. He was so thorough and dedicated to the job. I worked alongside him for over 12 years, and I knew all would be fine by just following his example.”

Halbleib said Van Drew brought the perfect mix to the airwaves with his fairness and thoroughness.

“It takes a special intuition coupled with a love for the area to do that job and still be thorough and fair,” he said. “It requires a touch not needed in larger areas. David demonstrated the perfect approach and remained solid while doing so. You will not find anyone, newsmaker or co-worker, who can claim anything other than being treated with the utmost fairness by the man.”

And then there was Van Drew’s side not everyone knew off air.

“Anyone who only remembers that authoritative on-air delivery might be surprised to know how much fun it was to work with him,” he said. “He was one of the most quick-witted people I’ve ever known, and he could make you laugh until your sides hurt whether you were in the newsroom, on the road or even in line waiting for a post-game burger.”

Editor’s note: This is the second in a two-part look at bullying as presented by Logan Junior High School staff in Princeton.

PRINCETON — Empathy and assertiveness are two key words to learn when it comes to preventing bullying.

Logan Junior High School Principal J.D. Orwig and Logan guidance counselor Jan Foehring said there are certain things which parents can teach their kids to help them so they don’t become bullies or become the bullied.

For starters, parents can teach their kids to know the difference between aggression and assertiveness, Foehring said. Kids need to know that it’s OK to stand up for themselves and their friends, but they need to know that assertiveness is accomplished with words and not fists, she said.

Parents can encourage friendships for their child but also teach the child to be selective when it comes to choosing friends, Foehring said, adding it’s not important how many friends a person has, but rather the quality of friends they have.

To help build a child’s self confidence, she said parents need to realize the more the child can learn to do by themselves and for themselves, and be successful in that, the more self-confident the child will become. As the child learns how to solve their own problems, they become

Logan programs aimed at bullying

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — In the continuing effort to handle issues like conflict resolution and bullying, Logan Junior High School and the Princeton Elementary School District has implemented a number of programs.

Logan Principal J.D. Orwig said students come into Logan Junior High having completed the D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program, which isn’t just about drug awareness but also about conflict resolution and anti-bullying. The program is a great foundation, he said.

In their first year at Logan, sixth-graders have a bullying presentation with Logan guidance counselor Jan Foehring. Among the topics covered are how students can play an active role in stopping bullying, how to help friends if they are being bullied and how to be more assertive them-

resilient and learn how to cope, which are skills they will need throughout their lives.

Studies show the kids who are bullied are generally the kids who don’t have good social skills, who lack selfconfidence, who might not know the difference between aggression and assertiveness, the guidance counselor said.

However, Foehring said there is no one type of child who becomes a bully. At one time it was thought the bully was the kid with

selves. The presentation also tells students whom they can contact if they are in an uncomfortable situation and what programs are available to them.

One of those programs is a peer mediation program, which includes a group of three seventh-graders and three eighth-graders who are trained in a step-bystep plan to help students who are having a conflict.

Other programs include a group mediation program and individual counseling, Orwig said. There is also a Student Assistance Team of staff members who meet monthly to brainstorm scenarios which students might face and intervention plans. There are also office referrals in which disciplinary action is required. There are times when parental involvement is needed.

Looking at the programs, Foehring said the programs are there to help students learn how to solve their own problems, which is an

low self-esteem, who was picked upon himself, and then took that experience out on others. That’s proven not to always be true.

Studies now show the bully can come from any economic circumstance, any family situation, any level of ability. There is no “cookie cutter” bully, the guidance counselor said.

To help raise kids so they don’t become bullies, Orwig said parents need to teach their kids to have empathy, to have an understanding of the feelings of others. Kids need to learn tolerance skills, to recognize there are different people out there, and to treat people with

important life skill. Learning to solve their own problems builds self-confidence and helps kids to become more resilient.

In another effort to help students learn good social and coping skills, the school also brings special programs into the school and community, programs like “Rachel’s Challenge” which will be presented Wednesday at Logan.

“Rachel’s Challenge” is a nationally-known program inspired by student Rachel Scott who was killed in the Columbine, Colo., shootings in 1999. The premise behind “Rachel’s Challenge” is to accentuate random acts of kindness rather than bullying.

“Rachel’s Challenge” will include school presentations for Logan and Reagan Middle School students, as well as a free evening program for parents and area communities, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Logan.

kindness and respect.

Also, kids should be taught to recognize that people will make mistakes, and those mistakes should not be accentuated by others, Orwig said. People need to be accepting of others’ mistakes.

Of course, it’s important for parents to not just teach those skills but also to model them, Foehring said.

In addition to teaching and modeling these life skills, Foehring said parents should also put limits on how much time their kids are exposed to social media. Through social media, bullying can continue long after school is out for the

day.

When it comes to getting help from others, Foehring said kids should know there is a difference between reporting an incident and being a tattletale.

Reporting is going to an adult to seek help for yourself or someone else. Being a tattletale is trying to get someone else in trouble. There is a difference, she said.

Any time a child finds himself/herself in a situation which makes them feel unsafe or uncomfortable, whether in school or outside, they should seek help from a trusted adult, Foehring said.

Emergency situation declared Communication tower problems still plague county

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Board has declared a state of emergency to get the grounding grid fixed for the communication tower at the Bureau County Jail.

At Tuesday’s board meeting, Buildings and Grounds Committee Chairman Kristi Warren told the board the communication tower was hit again by lightning a couple weeks ago, which again resulted in the loss of communication for a short time within the sheriff’s department.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the communication tower had

already been hit three times in recent years.

The most extensive damage happened in April when a lightning strike took out the sheriff’s department’s communication radios, Internet system, computer system, telephone system and the control panel for all the doors in the jail system. The jail’s radio communication was diverted to Spring Valley until things could be restored at the jail.

In her report Tuesday night, Warren said the Buildings and Grounds Committee had not received any bids for the grounding tower work by the time of its last meeting. However, she had received three calls earlier that day from interested contractors.

Warren said she would like to get the bid specifications to those contractors and to accept a bid at the committee’s Oct.

2 meeting, rather than to wait for the Oct. 8 meeting of the full board.

She does not want to take a chance of getting into bad weather and not being able to get the tower fixed, she said.

In order for the committee to accept a bid, State’s Attorney Patrick Herrmann said the board would need to declare the situation an emergency. Otherwise, the board would have to go through the bid process again.

After further discussion, the board unanimously passed a motion to declare the tower repair project an emergency and also passed another motion to authorize the committee to accept a bid at its next meeting.

In other communication equipment news, Warren said the new radios and antennas have been installed in

the squad cars, but there is still some scanning and frequency issues which have to be addressed before payment is made.

The committee is also looking into the providing car radios for both the coroner and the animal control officer.

In other committee news, Warren gave an update on the ongoing leakage problem and repair work at the Soldiers and Sailors Park monument. The Otto Baum restoration company has completed additional repair work on the monument, and hopefully, the problem is solved, but time will tell, she said.

If the latest repairs don’t solve the problem, then the issue could be at the top of the monument, which would be a much more extensive undertaking, she said.

eton and in a location that will not pose any danger to searchers. The medallion is not hidden at City-County Park, the Bureau County Fairgrounds or at any of the local cemeteries. If you find the medallion, call the phone number that will be attached to it.

Heartland Bank’s Great Medallion Hunt Committee will release clues to the Bureau County Republican and WZOE every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Heartland Bank’s Great Medallion Hunt is open to everyone except families associated with Heartland Bank and Trust Co.

DePue stumped on tree issue

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

DEPUE – A large, dilapidated tree located on private property in DePue has raised safety concerns for neighbors, who have shared their worries with the village board.

On Monday, Mayor Eric Bryant confirmed the property owner of 208 Newell St. is currently a ward of the state, therefore, the person is unable to have the hollowed-out tree removed.

He said village Superintendent Bruce Yuvan has looked at the tree and confirmed it is dangerous and too large to remove with just community help. It would cost about $900 to have the tree cut down professionally.

Village attorney Jacob Frost read off ordinances relating to the situation that stated the owner of the property is the one responsible for a matter like such.

“Here of course, the owner doesn’t have the capacity to do anything about it,” he said.

Under the village’s nuisance ordinance, Frost read if the property owner doesn’t abate the nuisance, the village can take steps to abate the nuisance if there should be a finding that the nuisance constitutes as an immediate danger to public safety.

Ultimately, the board was left to decide whether the tree was a public concern or a private issue.

The village board sparked discussion on legal steps they could take, such as putting a lien on the property or suing the homeowner, however Frost pointed out the homeowner is in a long-term facility, has no money and taking legal steps may not justify the tree issue at best.

He also confirmed there had already been existing liens on the property that had been released once the homeowner became a ward of the state.

It was pointed out that taking legal action could potentially be a no-win situation, which tends to happen frequently.

“People are sued for not paying a debt. They don’t have any money; they will never have any money,” Frost said. “You can sue them and get a money judgment that says ‘John Smith owes me money,’ but John Smith never has a dime ... You’re never going to get anything, and that’s just the way life is.”

It was mentioned if the tree was on public property, it would be a completely different situation. However, because the tree is located on private property, the situation might not be one the village should take action on.

“I think this situation is unique because she is a ward of the state,” Bryant said. “I do like the idea of getting rid of the hazard.

Might be just to cut the thing down.”

With that said, board member Bill Laicoff

brought up the concern of where the village should draw the line if in the future other community members approach the board asking them to pay to tear down a nuisance tree on another private property.

Board member Roger Harrison asked to table the issue until the next meeting so village board members could get more information on the mat-

ter and be able to have further discussion.

Frost said his only concern with tabling the matter was what to do if the tree fell over. He confirmed if it did, the village would not be liable for any damage.

The board voted 6-0 to table the issue until the next meeting, which will be at 7 p.m. Sept. 23.

Van Drew

From Page 1 When he was growing up, he got a break from the pressures of school when he went home at 3:30 p.m., Donahue said.

When he made a mistake or got embarrassed at school, the experience was short-lived and not everyone saw what happened, he said.

But for today’s kids, with social media like Twitter and Facebook, that’s no longer the case, Donahue said. Their audience can be hundreds of thousands of people, he said.

To help their kids handle the pressures in their lives, Donahue encouraged parents to develop conversations with their kids that go beyond Level 1, or just informational, and to go further to Level 5, where the kids talk about their feelings, their fears and insecurities.

Studies show children want to be with their parents and to talk on Level 5 with them, he said.

Kids also need to know they have intrinsic value just because they are breathing and alive, Donahue said. Schools

From Page 1 There was one moment during a broadcast when Van Drew really called it the way he saw it.

Longtime BCR Sports Editor Kevin Hieronymus remembered during one of Van Drew’s broadcasts of the Plano Christmas Classic when someone bumped the press table and spilled a drink all over Dave’s scorebook. While on the air, Hieronymus said Van Drew proclaimed, ‘Some absolute moron, just spilled a drink all over my scorebook.’”

“That was Dave,” Hieronymus said.

Hieronymus found a good friend when he arrived in Bureau County in 1986 and met Van Drew for the first time.

“We had a lot of good times going to ballgames together. He was a pro’s pro. I found him to be very humble and yet one willing to stand up for what he believed in,” Hieronymus said.

“I really looked up to him and admired him.”

Halbleib said Van

Parents need to keep pouring into their kids that they are loved and important and have intrinsic value just because they are alive, he said.

Donahue said parents also need to be more pro-

active in trying to do their best to level the playing fields for their children.

The values taught by parents at home are not challenged at home, but outside the home, he said. Kids want to please their parents, but they live at school. Kids who know their intrinsic value will handle the pressures better.

Wyanet looks at new vehicles

By Nita Wyatt news@bcrnews.com

W Y A N E T — T h e Wyanet Village Board discussed the purchase of several new vehicles at its meeting Tuesday.

Wyanet Trustee John Swarczewski and Police Chief Todd Marquez presented several bids to the board for the possible purchase of a new dump truck, a new pick-up truck and a new police squad car.

Marquez had obtained a bid from Piehl Motors for the purchase of a 2013 Chevrolet Impala, police package, for $22,470. Marquez had also received a bid from Browning Ford for a 2014 Ford Explorer, police package. The total for the Ford Explorer to be used as a squad car would be $27,690.

Swarczewski reported he had received a quote for a 2012 (new) Ford F450 from Browning Ford. This truck would be four-wheel drive, have the snowplow package, dump box, lighting package and spray-on bedliner.

A bid had also been received from Browning Ford for a 2013 Ford F350, super-cab with snowplow equipment.

The total cost of these three pieces of equipment would be approximately $125,000.

After discussion by the board, it was decided to forego the purchase of the Ford F350 and to look at putting

snow removal equipment on the Hummer that is already in the possession of the village. This vehicle will, it is hoped, eliminate the need to purchase a new pick-up truck.

Board President Bruce Hand requested Mike Smith, township road commissioner, be contacted to get his opinion on the proposed dump truck. He’d also like additional investigation to be done on possibly purchasing a used vehicle before the board makes a decision on spending the money for the new vehicle. Hand will, in the interim, seek financing information on the purchase of a new police squad car and the possible purchase of a dump truck.

The board and Marquez agreed the preference for a new squad car would be the Chevrolet Impala. The price for this vehicle is less than the Ford Explorer, and the current squad car is an Impala. This vehicle also would provide better gas mileage than the Ford Explorer.

Decisions will be made after additional information is gathered.

The board also discussed its 1975 backhoe.

The backhoe is in disrepair, and the only available place to purchase parts, because of the age of the backhoe, is on the Internet. The village has been approached with an offer from an outside party to purchase

the backhoe for a price of $3,600. The board agreed to sell the backhoe to Ronald Teske for this price, and the agreement with Teske is that it is being sold “as is.” No repairs and no guarantees will be made on the backhoe.

Also, Marilyn Johnson, chairperson of the Water, Sewer, Sanitation Committee, reported there are 14 customers who are still in need of outside water meters.

Johnson was asked to write out work orders to have this work completed. The individuals will be contacted in advance, and appointments will be made.

Johnson also reported the flow meter in need of replacement has been ordered. Shelly Teske, village clerk, stated the company supplying the meter contacted her, and it needed additional information regarding the length of the cord attached to the flow meter. This information will be provided, and the order will then be completed.

The board agreed that participants in the upcoming general garbage pickup must be active, non-delinquent garbage account customers. The general pickup is being held on Oct. 8.

The next meeting of the Wyanet Village Board will also be on Oct. 8.

In summary, Donahue encouraged parents to loosen up a bit and listen more to their kids. Parents should ask questions, but don’t try to fix things for them, rather give them the privilege of processing through issues for themselves. Listening is like investing in their souls, he said.

Drew was very passionate about the local sports teams he covered. Halbleib said Van Drew did his broadcasts for some of the very best Bureau County teams during his tenure at WZOE like the 1982 Walnut football team, the 1985 Ohio basketball team and the 1989 Princeton football team, and he did so as if he was part of the team.

WZOE owner/general manager Steve Samet, said he has good memories of Van Drew.

“He did it all. He was a good man and an outstanding broadcaster,” Samet said. “He had a real feel for the business and always programmed to his audience. He was definitely an asset to us here.

“Dave always wanted to do the right thing, and apparently he did,” Samet continued. “He was a hard-working guy and did a nice job. I was happy for him the way his career turned out.

He was a good man, and I have good memories.

We’re all going to miss him.”

Celebrating 100 years The year was 1913. The sitting president was William Howard Taft. And, my mom was born on Sept. 10 of that year. Yes, on Sept. 10, 2013, my mom was 100.

She was born in Nebraska to Clarence Veryl and Olive LaVinna Freese. I love their names, especially my grandma, Olive LaVinna, or “Ollie” as she was known. They welcomed their new COMMENTARY daughter, Aletha Vivian, the second of their later to be four children. My mom was never fond of her first name, so she has always been known as Vivian.

What else was happening in 1913? Well, William Howard Taft was only president until March 4, 1913, when Woodrow Wilson was sworn in as the new president. For most of us, William Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson are just names in a history book that we were required to read about in grade school. The idea that my mom was actually alive when Woodrow Wilson was president is just, well, remarkable!

Other newsworthy items of 1913 included the Mexican Revolution ... yes, the Mexican Revolution.

Pancho Villa returned to Mexico from his exile in the United States. My history lessons were obviously a long time ago — I didn’t realize that anyone came to the United States for “exile.” Seems kind of strange. I think of exile as being something in a not very nice place — not in the United States.

Of course, we are talking about 1913 — maybe it wasn’t very nice where he was then.

OK ... 1913 is a year that many of us should not look fondly on — that is the year the 16th Amendment was passed by Congress. What is the 16th Amendment? You can think of the 16th Amendment every April 15 – that is the amendment that was passed to allow Congress to impose and collect federal income tax. Thank you to the 1913 U.S. Congress — we will remember you, maybe not fondly, but we will remember.

The Lincoln Highway, the first automobile road across the United States, was dedicated that year, and Henry Ford invented an assembly line for his automobiles that took the time to build an automobile from 12.5 hours to 2. And, you can also thank 1913 for the introduction of mayonnaise by the Hellman Co. Popular songs of the day included “Snookey Ookums,” “Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loora,” and “Peg O’ My Heart.” Do you remember any of those?

Actually, I remember my mom singing a couple of them.

So, on Sept. 10, 1913, my mom was born. She married my dad when she was 17, and they lived in Nebraska prior to relocating to Illinois. The dryness of the Dust Bowl in Nebraska of the 1930s brought them to the greener fields of Illinois. We always lived on a farm when I was growing up. My mom took advantage of those greener fields, planting gardens wherever we lived. She would can the fruits of those gardens for us to enjoy during the winter months. At one point in my childhood, we had an apple orchard. I remember coming home from school to find a stack of apple pies made by my mom. Those pies would go into the freezer, and she would tell us that if she had unexpected company, she would always have a dessert that could be baked and be ready to share. Those pies tasted great in the winter. I find myself doing the same type of things. My daughter says I freeze everything. She’s probably right. That way if I have company, I will have something that I can cook to be ready for a special meal. Thanks to my mom, I am always ready.

My mom, now a resident of Liberty Village, was and is many things to her family and friends. She is mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and

If you were stranded on a desert island and could take only one thing with you, what would it be: My dog, Angel.

What is your favorite local restaurant: Olive Garden.

Kathy Moell Where did you grow up: Peru, LaSalle and Wisconsin.

If someone handed you a million dollars, how would you spend it: Pay off debts, buy a new car, give some to my family and church, and use it for retirement.

A picture says 1,000 words I recently had the distinct opportunity to photograph a group of 36 business women from Princeton for a magazine assignment.

This was, to say the least, an intense endeavor. Setting up a photo shoot involving 10 people can be difficult ... let alone 36.

The key to a successful group shot is making sure every one is lined up evenly and every person’s face can easily be seen by the viewer. Because this certain photo was for a full-page magazine ad, it was extra critical to specifically get every face perfectly in the shot.

On the morning of the shoot, I got to the location feeling overwhelmed with such a large group of woman – I had originally expected a maximum of 18 heads in the shot. While panic swept over me, it immediately was followed by a sense of pride for the entrepreneurial woman in my community.

What a great opportunity these woman received in order to better showcase what a powerful and professional business scene Princeton has built.

To me, this victorious gathering showed much more than just 36 smiling women standing sideby-side. It provided proof the Princeton business community is full of talented, strong-willed and respectful woman.

When I tell people today there

Goldie Currie COMMENTARY were 36 women who gathered for the photo, the common reaction is that they had no idea Princeton even had that many businesses.

I want to personally thank all those women who showed up that morning and taking the time out of their busy schedules to help highlight what Princeton is made of. To me, I think my community has much more to offer than a lot of people are led to believe.

Before I started photographing the women, I took a step back to make sure everyone’s face would shine through in the shot.

Of course, there were a couple faces hidden in back, so I spent a couple minutes rearranging the women to make the photo look its best.

I heard several conversations and comments come from the women when I began doing this, and what an impression it made on me! I learned a lot from those comments. When I was finally confident enough that every women could be seen, I began shooting.

In the end, it felt worth the extra time to make sure every-

one had looked their best. The end result turned out brilliant.

I know all those women in that photo will be satisfied with the layout.

After the shoot, I stayed behind and watched the women scamper off in every direction.

Their faces all told the story they still had a million things to do that day and a million appointments to make. They are our downtown working force, but what a significant couple minutes I got to spend with these women!

I was thankful everyone had stayed patient and were understanding of the time involved in getting that picture-perfect shot.

When the magazine hits the stands and people begin flipping through the pages, they are going to see that full-page ad and recognize the effort and organization involved in gathering all those Princeton women.

I want to thank our Chamber director for that one.

I’m sure some will talk about the women in the shot and most will get a sense of the strong community pride that shines through our downtown. Perhaps seeing 36 friendly, smiling faces will entice people to check-out why it’s so great to be a businesswoman in Princeton.

My mom shares the year of her birth with Richard Nixon, Vince Lombardi, Gerald Ford, Tony Martin and Danny Kaye. Those people are all famous, but for my family, none are as special as Mom, Grandma, Great-Grandma, and Great-Great Grandma. The

Homestead Festival

Festival dates — This year’s Homestead Festival will take place Friday through Sunday. The annual parade will step off at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, and the talent showcase will be at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at the Prairie Arts Center.

Jaycees announce beer garden entertainment PRINCETON — Entertainment for the Princeton Jaycees’ beer gardens have been announced.

• Rodeo Drive will perform from 8:30 p.m. Friday to 12:30 a.m. Saturday at Darius Miller Park. Gates will open at 8 p.m.

Rodeo Drive has been together since November, 2007. Bringing together members of several other local bands, Rodeo Drive draws on their past to play a mix of classic rock, country and blues music.

Members include: Dan Smith, vocals and guitar; Eric Mills, vocals and bass guitar; Jay Suarez, vocals and drums; Tommy Rose, vocals and guitar; and Greg Wolcott, vocals and guitar.

Rodeo Drive was selected as the opening act for one of LaGrotto’s “Concerts for a Cause” events last summer, getting to work with Nashville recording acts Zac Brown Band and Little Big Town. During the 2010 Bureau County Fair, Rodeo Drive was the opening act for Nashville recording artist, Craig Morgan.

• Hairbanger’s Ball will perform from 8:30 p.m. Saturday to 12:30 a.m. Sunday at Darius Miller Park. Gates will open at 8 p.m.

Back in 2001, what started out as a “what if” plan

to bring six extremely talented musicians together to revive “The Decade of Decadence” quickly turned into one of the most successful live music acts touring the United States.

Today, Hairbanger’s Ball is a seven-piece band that is louder, prouder and more exciting than ever. The group has sold out several venues and festivals over the past 10 years. Hairbanger’s Ball has traveled to other countries to perform concerts for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy.

Living up to its name, Hairbanger’s Ball delivers uncanny live renditions of legendary ‘80s hair rock bands like Poison, Def Leppard, Guns N’ Roses, Motley Crue, Van Halen and Bon Jovi. Between band mates Sakk Wylde (lead vocals), Polly Pantz (keys/vocals), Jeff Jackson (guitar), Sean Jovi (bass guitar), Clare Crush (keys/vocals), Bobby Bones (guitar) and The Kid (drums), the vocals are dead-on, the riffs are tight and just right and no props are spared.

Hairbanger’s Ball is an ageless act that has a unique knack to work with their audiences, integrating them into their performances for the most memorable shows.

Shooting sports club adds archery IVCC receives $10,000 donation from former student OGLESBY — Anthony C. Raccuglia of Peru, a 1956 alumnus of LaSalle-Peru-Oglesby Junior College, predecessor of Illinois Valley Community College, has made a $10,000 donation to the college’s capital campaign.

The donation to the Peter Miller Community Technology Center campaign was made in the name of Raccuglia’s law firm, Anthony C. Raccuglia & Associates PC, 1200 Maple Drive, Peru.

“We are exceedingly grateful for Tony’s generosity and continual support for his former college,” said IVCC President Jerry Corcoran. “This gift will allow us to make significant enhancements within the technology center.

“As a renowned attorney, Tony is a fine example of the thousands of successful IVCC and LPO graduates doing important, meaningful work across the nation and world,” Corcoran said.

After a minor league stint with the old Wash-

Anthony C. Raccuglia ington Senators (now the Minnesota Twins), Raccuglia was drafted by the Army in 1953. Following the service, he put himself on a fast-track to a law career. Just a year after leaving LPO, he graduated from the University of Illinois and by 1959 was finishing number one in his John Marshall Law School class.

In 1960, he led the successful prosecution in the infamous Starved Rock murders case as the LaSalle County First Assistant State’s Attorney. By 1968, he was

devoting his full attention to his private practice and winning landmark personal injury cases.

Recognized as one of Illinois’ top attorneys, his practice reaches many downstate counties and federal court in Cook County. In 2008, Raccuglia was named a charter member of the IVCC-LPO Hall of Fame and delivered the keynote address at commencement.

His community service includes 14 years on the LaSalle-Peru Township High School Board, including two as President, and he gives generously to many organizations including the Illinois Valley Food Pantry, IVCC Foundation and city of LaSalle.

His three children are Judge Cynthia Raccuglia, American Crew founder David Raccuglia, and Damon Raccuglia, a day trader in the stock market.

“We are very proud to say Tony got his start here,” said Corcoran.

The Bureau County 4-H Shooting Sports club will offer its second program which will be in the discipline of archery beginning Sept. 22 and continue for the following six weeks.

Youth do not need to be enrolled in a 4-H Community Club to participate. The program is

open to all youth who are 8-18 years old as of Sept.

1. There is limited space available in the program, and advanced registration is required. There is a $25 fee for the archery program, and youth ho are not already part of a 4-H Community Club may also be required to pay an annual $20

program fee. Youth do not need to own archery equipment to participate.

To register, contact the University of Illinois Extension office at 815875-2878. Youth who have previously completed enrollment paperwork should call to confirm they will be attending.

IVCH holds flu shot clinics Illinois Valley Community Hospital has set dates for four public flue immunization clinics around the Illinois Valley area in September and early October. IVCH nurses will be giving the flu shots from 1 to 5 p.m. Sept. 19 in conference room B at IVCH, from 3 to 7 p.m.

New look, another win for PHS

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

ORION — It was a new look with the same results Tuesday for the Princeton Tigresses.

As senior Alicia Poss took a seat for the start of Tuesday’s match having been sick Monday, junior Abby Jaques slid over from outside hitter to take Poss’ spot at middle, and junior Colby Schertz moved

from opposite to outside.

With Jaques contributing five kills to go along with Becca Hult (9 kills) and Ashley Farraher (5 kills) and Taylor Clark coming off the bench to score 11 service points, the Tigresses had another recipe for success, defeating the host Orion Chargers 25-19, 25-22.

“Abby played Alicia’s position and played it well. Colbi played Abby’s position

and played it well,” PHS coach Andy Puck said.

The win raised the Tigresses’ record to 7-1 overall and 2-0 in Three Rivers South Division play.

Hult hit for the side out with the Tigresses down 12-8. Up stepped Clark to the service line, who capped an-eight point string with an ace to serve the Tigresses to an 18-12 lead.

1-1, 0-0

At a glance: The Storm and Comets meet in Three Rivers South Division play after battling for 13 seasons in the Big Rivers Conference. Conference expansion brought football back to the Three Rivers, split into divisional play.

By Derek Johnson LAMOILLE — Motocross has taken Chase Sexton from LaMoille to Tennessee and to the Czech Republic this summer.

The 12 year old from LaMoille has had a busy summer, chasing down second-place trophies from the Loretta Lynn American Motocross Association National Championships in the 85cc age 12-14 class and fourth-place awards for his most recent performance in the Czech Republic at the FIM World Championships.

Sexton’s fourth-place score in the age 12-14 85cc class was used in the U.S. National teams overall tally as it was the team’s high score.

“I had one of the scores that was used (overall), and (the U.S. team) took home medals and trophies; so it felt pretty good,” Sexton said.

Comparing the two competitions, Sexton said, “(The World Championship) was pretty different.

I mean, they’re a lot bigger over there. The people over there were good at riding (hard-packed) tracks.

They were really fast, but I knew when I was going over there that they were going to be fast. It was a lot harder and faster than it is at one of our races ...

“Loretta’s is a big race, but over there, it was huge,” he said. “Here it was a lot easier because here they are fast, but they’re not all fast. Over there, they’re all fast. It was a lot harder to catch up if you got a bad start.”

Regarding the travel, Sexton said, “At first I did not like flying, but after eight hours on a plane, I got used to it.”

Next up for Sexton is the Monster Indy Cup in Las Vegas on Oct. 19 where he will be riding a larger 112cc bike.

“It’s a really big race, and it’s on television,” Sexton said, adding that he wanted to thank his sponsors which include local supporters Sunset Ridge.

Saturday at Sterling H.S. Bureau Valley at Newman

SPRING VALLEY — The Hall Lady Devils volleyball team competed well in their first set against the Kewanne Boilermakers Tuesday night but things deteriorated in the second set with Hall losing its first

Three Rivers Conference match 25-23 and 25-13.

Hall coach Megan Nation said the Lady Devils are looking to put their mental game together.

“There’s one thing that we have struggled with so far this year, and that’s mentality,” she said. “We practice well together as

a team. We come out, we get excited, and we get a couple of errors against us and we fall apart. That’s something that we have done from day one.

“To be honest with you I don’t know how to fix it. I don’t really know what to do about it. But,

Between them, Bureau Valley (5) and Sterling Newman (4) won nine Big Rivers Conference championships, from 1999 to 2012 when the Three Rivers Athletic Conference merged with the Tri-County Conference.

Newman won the final Big Rivers title prior to the reemergence of Three Rivers football this year.

Now they’re going to try a Three Rivers North Division battle on for size.

The Week 3 match-up is the first in the division for both teams after two weeks of crossover contests with the South Division. The Saturday evening meeting is the BCR’s Game of the Week for Week 3 of the 2013 season.

“The game should be a good one, both teams are 1-1,” BV coach Jeff Ohlson said. “They are physical, run the ball and do not throw it a lot. They are good on defense and get to the football. We will need to continue to execute and make plays when we need to. We will need to match their physicality and toughness.”

Any loss at Newman is a surprise to most football followers in this part of the state. The Comets got off to a rare 21-9 Week 1 defeat to Rockridge, 21-7, their first opening-day loss since 2007 to Morrison.

leyball scholarship to Butler University.

His father-in-law, Bill Forrest, coached high school baseball in Wenona and was head softball coach at IVCC.

It comes as no surprise to see him named as the new head softball coach at St. Bede Academy. He was recently introduced to succeed Bill Prokup, who resigned after two seasons due to increased travel requirements with a job promotion.

“I am very excited to lead this program,” Urbanski said.

“I think it is an honor and a privilege to have the opportunity to be taking over this

program. St. Bede has great tradition, and I have already received so much support from the community. I have talked to Coach Prokup, and this team has a great deal of talent returning. I want to produce a team and a program that is fundamentally sound so we can be competitive year after year. I feel that fundamentals are the key to success.”

Urbanski, 41, has been a

physical education teacher at LaSalle Public Schools for 15 years. He has coached all different levels of softball, most recently as manager of his daughter’s (Ashley) minor league all-star team this summer. He has also coached basketball at all different levels including freshman girls at LaSalle-Peru High School as well as a 15-year stint coaching junior high track in LaSalle.

that’s the way our team is right now.

This is a very, very mental team. If teams realize that we are mental it is going to be tough for us to get a win.

That’s something we have a hard time doing.”

Hall (1-9, 0-1) did have some fight in them early.

“They do (fight), they do. A couple of times we have played this year we have had spurts where we will go at (the other team), and we will fight and push.

Then there are times when one little thing clicks, and we fall,” Nation said.

“I think we are a good team. I think they deserve to win. But, the mentality has to change.”

Nation said hitting errors also hurt

“We also do make a lot of hitting errors,” she said. “That’s something that didn’t help us in the second game as we just hit a lot of balls out of bounds.

Unforced errors. But, I am proud of them. They do work hard, and they have it in them. They just have to keep it.”

The first set was tight until the final point, but the second set Hall got behind and was unable to recover.

Vanessa Olivares led the Lady Devils with 10 assists and three aces. Ellen Herrmann had nine kills, Clarrisa Gerrard had four kills and Brenna Faletti added nine digs.

quarterback Jack Brady continues to showcase his throwing arm. He threw for 234 yards and five touchdowns in the season-opening 40-6 win at Amboy. Last week he followed that up with 265 yards and two TDs against Bureau Valley, including a game-winning, 23-yard TD strike to Sam Halm with 2:35 left in the game. Friday’s game kicks off the division play in the TRAC South for both teams, having played crossovers game for the first two weeks.

Friday, at the AHS Harbor.

BCR insider: If the Red Devils were looking for a confidence boost, they sure got it last week at Nesti Stadium. Down 21-0, the Red Devils outscored 22 unanswered points to stun Erie/Prophetstown 22-21. Chris Hammonds scored the game-winner on a 17-yard run with 1:25 left to play. “I think the way we came back in the forth quarter last week proved to our kids that they can play and win some football games.

The kids were very excited after the game, and it has carried over to practice this week. I really think they have gained confidence in what we are teaching, and if they do what they are asked to do good things will happen for them,” Hall coach Randy Tieman said. While starting off 0-2, Tieman knows the Red Devils can expect a Clippers team up for the challenge, especially in its home dock at the Harbor.

“Amboy is a very well coached team that likes to run the ball first, but they have the ability to also throw it a little bit.

Our kids need to come out with the same intensity as they did in the second half last week and continue be physical,” he said.

Gametime: 7:30 p.m.

Friday at Bryant Field BCR insider: Last year, there was a need for an air traffic controller in the press box when the Sherrard Tigers and quarterback Clayton Bjustron, came to town. As a junior, Bjustron, threw for 341 yards and eight touchdowns to engineer Sherrard’s 70-27 romp in route to a record-breaking year at Sherrard.

Sherrard coach Brett Lee doesn’t anticipate that kind of game this time around, “again unless we need him to. We are a little more run-oriented at this point and will continue to try and establish that aspect.” PHS coach Jesse Snyder notes Sherrard has also ran well this year and “has a pretty balanced attack.”

Princeton will continue to utilize the strong arm of sophomore quarterback Jake Reinhardt completed 12 of 25 attempts (89) in his first start last week and 3-12 for 125 yards in Week 1 at Morrison.

Both Tiger teams come over from the West Central Conference to join the newly conformed Three Rivers Athletic Conference for all sports.

Game

From Page 11 Longtime Newman coach Mike Papoccia said his Comets bounced back nicely at Princeton last week with a 61-7 rout over the Tigers.

“I was proud of the young men how they rebounded after such a disaster the first week.” he said, while noting after the game to his players, not to be satisfied with it, “or it’s all over.”

The Storm will be in need of a bounce-back game of their own, having watched a 25-14 lead turn into 29-25 defeat.

“Every week is a must win week, so this is no different,” Ohlson said.

“Kids are resilient, they are ready to forget the past and move on to this week. In the Three Rivers, you can’t think about last week, because the next game will be a war we have to prepare for.”

BV junior Parker Neuhalfen has settled in nicely as the starting quarterback for the Storm.

He has rushed for three touchdowns (39-190) and

Volleyball notebook

Officials signals come with little notice

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

The casual observer may not have taken notice, but insightful volleyball fans have seen a change in hand signals by the game officials this season.

Per a change by the National Federation of State High School Association, the up-official now first signals to which side is rewarded the point upon completion of a play, then indicates the ruling. Previously, the violation was indicated first and then which team scored.

This change was implemented as an effort to improve the flow of play for the official scorekeeper in recording the score and in having no delay in knowing which team will have the next serve.

Not many have even noticed.

Neither Bureau Valley coach Abbi Bosnich or PHS coach Andy Puck

Hieronymus

From Page 11

Urbanski said his daughters, aka the “A” team, loved when he coached freshman basketball at L-P sitting behind the bench and watching everything going on.

“I love to coach, and I see myself doing this for many years.

My wife and I have always played, coached and had competitive sports as a part of our lives,” Urbanski said. “I think this is a great move for me and my family.

We are excited to build a strong program.”

He’ll have someone who shares his passion for softball close by in his father-in-law, who coached at IVCC from 1996-99.

“He will be a great asset to the program and knows the game inside and out,” Ubranski said.

The same could be said for

believe any of his players have taken notice. If anything, Bosnich believes its more of a hassle for the officials who have had to relearn their mechanics.

“Veteran officials are having trouble with their hand signals. It is very obvious that things are different but it has not affected my girls at all,” Bosnich said.

Also new this year in IHSA volleyball is a new patriotic look. The IHSA will be using a red, white and blue volleyballs for all postseason play beginning with regionals. Host teams may play with these patriotic balls now. According to the IHSA, each IHSA member program was rewarded a complimentary red, white and blue from Baden, the supplier to the IHSA. PHS is using the red, white and blue ball for its freshmen matches while going with a new Tiger blue and gray ball in the big gym for the

sophomore and varsity matches.

Postseason hosts: Hall will host the local 2A volleyball regional.

That winner will advance to the El Paso-Gridley Sectional, looking to move on to the Bureau Valley Supersectional.

Princeton will serve as hosts for a 3A volleyball sectional with regional feeds from Monmouth, Sandwich, Stillman Valley and Streator.

Annawan will host a 1A regional.

Sidelined: St. Bede setter Morgan Bosnich continues to recover from a spill in last weekend’s EarlyBird Invite at the Academy. SBA coach Dawn Williams said an initial impact testing confirmed a concussion. She passed her latest test Monday and resumed light conditioning.

Williams was hopeful Bosnich would be able to play Thursday Comment on this story at www. bcrnews.com

Van Drew passes: It was with sadness I learned of the passing of former WZOE sportscaster Dave Van Drew. It was only fitting I heard the news while driving to a game Tuesday night. When I arrived in town years ago, I made many road trips with Dave and his sidekick Greg Halbleib in the old WZOE Fan Van, as we called it.

I shared my memory of one his calls during the Plano Christmas Classic in the front page story when he famously said “some absolute moron just spilled a drink all over my scorebook,” only to describe how intense and passionate Dave was about doing his job.

He was a true friend. He touched me and my career in many ways Award to Slevin: Congrats to one of my other good friends in the radio business, Lenny Slevin, for his upcoming honor. Fully set-

tled into retirement, the longtime Voice of the Valley is one of four recipients to receive the Illinois High School Association’s inaugural Distinguished Media Service Award.

The award was created based on a recommendation from the IHSA Media Advisory Committee and seeks to recognize media members who have covered high school sports and activities in Illinois for a significant period of time, while maintaining perspective on the amateur events they report on.

Slevin had a 42-year career on radio, most of which was WLPO. He signed off for the final time from the IHSA State Softball Tournament this spring covering the St. Bede Lady Bruins.

Next up Sprint Cup Race: GEICO 400 Where: Chicagoland Speedway When: Sunday, 2 p.m. (ET) TV: ESPN 2012 Winner: Brad Keselowski

Carl Edwards wins at Richmond Field for the 2013 Chase for the Sprint Cup is set The 12-driver field for the 2013 Chase for the Sprint Cup was set in Saturday night’s regular season finale at Richmond International Raceway, but the controversy from the finish of the Federated Auto Parts 400 likely will linger for some time.

With fewer than 10 laps remaining, Ryan Newman had raced his way into the lead and was poised to take one of the two wild-card Chase berths, unseating Martin Truex Jr. Then, with seven laps to go, after some interesting traffic on the radio channel of Truex’s teammate Clint Bowyer, Bowyer spun. That brought out the caution flag and gave Truex one more chance. Newman headed to pit road for four fresh tires, but Carl Edwards’ crew was faster, and he wound up on the front row for the restart, with Newman fifth. Edwards went on to win, while Newman finished third, but lost the Chase berth to Truex.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., who was running immediately behind Bowyer when Bowyer spun, was among the first to question the move. “(Bowyer) just spun right out,” Earnhardt said. “That’s the craziest thing I ever saw. He just came right around ...

“He was hemming around on the brakes and jerking the car around, and then the thing just spun out. It was crazy.”

In-car audio from Bowyer’s car also raised questions. After spotter Brett Griffin informed Bowyer that Newman was about to win the race, crew chief Brian Pattie can be overheard saying: “Is your arm starting to hurt? I bet it’s getting hot in there. Itch it.”

In their post-race interviews, Bowyer denied spinning intentionally, and Newman seemed more upset about his own crew’s poor performance.

“We should have been able to come off pit road first if we were a championship-contending team,” Newman said. “We needed a championshipcontending pit crew, and we didn’t have that.”

Truex, who finished seventh to tie Newman in points but got the Chase berth on the tiebreaker of most second-place finishes, had little to say about the incident.

“I don’t know,” he said.

“I don’t have any thoughts on it, honestly. I didn’t even know it happened until after the race.”

NASCAR issued the following statement on the matter Sunday afternoon: “NASCAR is reviewing Saturday night’s race at Richmond International Raceway per protocol and

Streeter Lecka/Getty Images for NASCAR

Carl Edwards celebrates his Federated Auto Parts 400 win with his signature backflip. has no plans for further statement until that process is complete.”

Bowyer’s spin, plus an inordinate amount of time spent in the pits afterward, also cost Jeff Gordon a shot at a Chase berth, as Joey Logano was able to take advantage of the ensuing caution, get the free pass and drive by enough cars in the closing laps to displace Gordon from the top 10 by a single point.

Logano also appeared to be helped by the obviously slow laps run by another Waltrip car, the No. 55 of Brian Vickers, which also made an unexplained trip to pit road in the closing laps.

Had Logano not passed Bowyer and Vickers and gotten into the top 10 in points, he’d have taken a wild-card berth and left Truex out.

Kasey Kahne took the other wild-card spot, while three drivers without race wins this season — Earnhardt Jr., Bowyer and Kurt Busch — got in the Chase by being in the top 10 in points after Richmond.

With the standings reset for the start of the

Chase, Matt Kenseth, with five wins, is the leader based on his 15 bonus points for race wins. Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch are tied for second with 12 points, three for each of their four wins. Edwards and Kevin Harvick are next with six bonus points, followed by Greg Biffle and Logano with three apiece.

While Johnson was considered the favorite to win the Chase for much of the season, he enters the 10-race championship run having finished 40th, 36th, 28th and 40th in the past four races. But he said he’s looking forward and is not too worried about the recent past.

“When I look at the Chase and the tracks that are in the Chase, those are tracks that we’re really good at historically, and when I look at August, August is normally tough on the 48, and this year it was once again,” he said. “I’m not pleased with where we’re at, but I’m still very confident and feel that going into the Chase it’s a clean sheet of paper for everybody, and we’re

going to be where we need to.

“People can speculate and wonder all week long, but I really look forward to getting to Chicago and showing people what this team has in it.”

Kurt Busch, the winner of the first-ever Chase back in 2004, got in this time with a single-car team, the first time that’s ever happened. He did it with Colorado-based Furniture Row Racing, which also makes it the first time a team not based in North Carolina made the championship hunt.

“To make the Chase with these guys is an unbelievable feeling,” Busch said of the team he’ll be leaving at season’s end to move to StewartHaas Racing. “It’s been an 18-month work in progress, and I’ve been through a lot, and I’ve learned a lot, and I feel like I’m better ready for the Chase and life in general as a 35 year old.”

The Chase will be missing some familiar faces this year. Denny Hamlin, who has been in the Chase every year he’s run a full schedule, and Tony Stewart, who missed the 2006

Chase after winning the title in 2005, didn’t make the cut this year because of injuries. Also not among the elite this time is defending Cup champion Brad Keselowski, who wound up 31 points outside the top 10. Interestingly, that’s the same number of points he’s been penalized this year by NASCAR for rules infractions by his race team.

Keselowski said the bottom line is that his cars just weren’t fast enough.

“They haven’t been good enough and we haven’t executed as well as we needed to,” he said. “We have work to do. At the end of the day, the thing about points is, it is the best measuring stick in sports. You know who deserves to be where because the results speak for themselves.

“We didn’t have enough results to get where we needed to be.”

Jeff Gordon missed the Chase for just the second time in his career. He said he wasn’t sure why things haven’t worked out for his team this year.

“I’m just bummed for this team,” he said. “They worked so hard, and I don’t know why we’ve had the kind of rough year that we’ve had. We’re going to do everything we can to go these next 10 races and step it up and get ourselves in position to be more competitive.

“Hopefully, we can win a race or two and get ourselves in position to go be in a better position when it comes to Richmond at this time next year.”

Ryan Newman, a fourtime Chase participant, also missed the cut this year.

Kayla Hunt is in The Dog House New owner specializes in pets

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Kayla Hunt is the new owner of The Dog House located in Princeton.

“I want to let everyone know we are open under new management,” said Hunt, who currently lives in Franklin Grove.

Hunt graduated from the PetSmart Grooming Academy in Algonquin. She was sent there after working at PetSmart in Sterling and was noticed for doing a good job of bathing animals.

In order to be able to groom or cut a pet’s hair, a person needs to be trained, and Hunt took that next step when going to the academy. She also had to groom 100 dogs or cats after graduation before being able to open her own place.

Hunt runs a mobile grooming business in this area and found out the

building where The Dog House had been operating was available. Roger and Clair Ault had run The Dog House for almost 30 years, but retired from managing the shop, although they still own the building.

Hunt made connections with Ault after searching for a place to buy some grooming products. She then found out the building was empty and talked with Ault about operating a grooming business out of the building.

She now owns the business and will be offering deshedding treatments for bigger dogs like German shepherds or huskies where their undercoat is released. She will also offer boarding and grooming services for dogs and cats, plus she’ll do flea baths and even nail painting.

“I do a real good job and want people to realize that the former person (who ran the business for six months after the Aults left) is not here any more,” she added. “Nobody who worked here before is working here now.”

Gateway Services asks for donations for new CILA home PRINCETON — Late fall construction on a new group home will be completed on North Main Street for eight Gateway Services individuals.

The duplex that is being built by Jonathan and Juli Mabry will allow individuals to be more independent, still having 24-hour direct care staff on hand, but with less one-on-one assistance and more guidance for daily life activities, said Jene Kinsley, Gateway Services’ director of residential services.

Gateway is seeking donations to purchase furniture, or other housewares (dishes, decorations, etc.) to turn this house into a home for these individuals. Gateway hopes to transform their new home into a place that they look forward to living in and entertain-

ing family and friends.

These items are designed to be more durable and utilized on a long-term basis for facilities like Gateway.

To donate, call Jene Kinsley, director of residential services, at 815-875-4548, ext.

253, donate online at www.gateway-services.org, or by mail to: Gateway Services, 406 S. Gosse Blvd, P.O. Box 535, Princeton, IL 61356.

Gateway Services Inc., located in Princeton, is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization which provides services to adults and children with disabilities in Bureau, Marshall and Putnam counties.

Gateway Services has 10 programs for its individuals and provides more than 200,000 hours of services on an annual basis.

Recreating Richard Widmark Kassabaum gives actor his artistic touch

“The Widmark Look.”

Widmark’s family moved to Princeton in 1925. Widmark graduated from Princeton High School in 1932.

While in Princeton, Widmark’s family lived in seven different places within the community, some which still exist. Widmark was a doorman at the Apollo Theater around 1930. After high school, he attended Lake Forest College, where he got into acting. He became an overnight success in 1947 when he starred in his first film, “The Kiss of Death,” He won a Golden Globe for his performance and was nominated for an Academy Award that year.

Kassabaum remembers growing up and watching Widmark’s movies at The Grand Theater in Granville in the 1950s.

“He just stuck right in my head, and every time he was in a movie, it was, ‘Oh I’m going to see that,’” he said. “You didn’t know whether he was going to be the good guy or the bad guy.

More than likely it was the bad guy.”

Kassabaum embarked on his creation last November. He came up with a list of all 72 movies Widmark had starred in. He watched and studied the movies,

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON – Richard Widmark, the famous Hollywood actor, is most likely the biggest name to come out of Princeton. Oddly enough, other than Widmark Wednesdays at the Princeton Public Library, not much has been done to commemorate his connection to Princeton ... until now.

Well-known local artist Bart Kassabaum has produced a major collage piece that captures Widmark’s entire filmography and his life in Princeton.

“I always had the idea in the back of my mind that one day I was going to do this and do more research on him, but it kept sitting in the background,” he said.

Last year, after being approached and asked if he would consider creating a piece on Widmark, Kassabaum knew it was the opportune time to create,

watched extras about the movies, listened to interviews with actors who starred with Widmark, collected research from news articles, movie magazines, from city directories and telephone books and talked with people who had connections to Widmark.

“I made a lot of discoveries on my own about Princ-

eton,” Kassabaum said. “I know every place in this town where this man lived.”

Kassabaum’s Widmark project took nine months to complete. Alongside the art piece, he put together a concise biography about Widmark’s movie career and life in Princeton.

Using prismacolor pencils, water colors and

designers gouache, Kassabaum created the many faces of Widmark’s characters and arranged them around the canvas alongside his movie titles, faces from fellow actors and actresses in his movies, prominent figures in his life, as well as depictions of the Princeton homes he lived in, the high school he attended and, of

course, the Apollo Theater.

“I was trying to do a piece of art that not only showed how successful he was in the movies and show a filmography of his life, but also the main thrust was to show his connection to Princeton,” he said.

Kassabaum’s “hook” is his own rendition of Widmark, which is the largest face in his piece. After looking through piles of photographs, Kassabaum decided none truly captured the Widmark look he wanted to incorporate.

“Those were more formal or informal photos where he was just himself and not Richard Widmark the actor on screen, which is what I wanted to get,” he said.

The only regret Kassabaum has about his piece is not doing it sooner.

“I really had to dig and scrape to get any information,” he said. “But right now I probably know more about Richard Widmark’s life in this town than any other person.”

Kassabaum is hoping to donate a portion of funds raised from selling his prints to a fund that will be used to highlight the life of Widmark in Princeton.

Six study habits to avoid and adopt

No matter what age or academic level, employing effective studying strategies can make all the difference between acing a class, barely passing, or worse, failing miserably. Unfortunately, many of today’s most common study methods can lead to utter disappointment despite best efforts and intentions. In fact, recent research out of the University of WisconsinMadison found many popular study habits are not beneficial at all, and in some cases, are actually detrimental.

This year, ditch the surprisingly shoddy study habits and utilize proven effective and emerging technology-based strategies as building blocks to get ahead — in school, and ultimately, in life.

With this in mind, EdTech authority and academic futurist Ashish Rangnekar, CEO of BenchPrep, offers this insight on six unexpectedly bad study habits to avoid and six good-sense study habits sure to keep students on track toward academic success.

Six study habits students should change • Studying at home: Studying at home might be convenient and easy, but there are way too many distractions lurking around the residence. Maybe it’s a talkative roommate, the TV, texts and the lure of Facebook, or the growing pile of clothes that are just begging to be washed. Any of these can break concentration and make studying less effective. Consider going to the library and finding a quiet room or desk away from all of these diversions.

• Listening to music: The benefits of listening to music while studying have been argued time after time. Although classical music was once believe to increase spatial abilities and improve learning, subsequent research was not able to support this theory. In fact, recent studies show music may actually impair cognitive abilities and hinder memorization because of the changing words and notes in songs. Studying in silence or amid a little white noise will not distract from thinking and can help a student concentrate without the disruption of lyrics and changing tempos.

• Procrastinating: Every student is guilty of procrastination at one time or another, but just because it’s common behavior doesn’t mean it’s acceptable.

Procrastination can lead to doing things halfway and not retaining as much information as necessary to ace that exam. If a student is pulling frequent all-nighters or rushing in fire-drill mode to finish every essay or project, then it is time to work on time management skills and schedule earlier, and calmer, study sessions.

• Not making an outline: If a student is not making outlines while studying or writing a paper, then the results most likely will not be the intended grade.

There are many reasons to make an outline. It helps to keep track of large amounts of information, organize ideas and present the class material in a logical way. Instead of trying to reread a textbook or write an essay from scratch, make an outline to organize thoughts and study more effectively.

• Highlighting the textbook: Some study advice books recommend reading a textbook and marking the pages with a neon highlighter as the best way to study for an upcoming exam, but in actuality, this is one of the least effective ways for students to remember content. Instead of coloring entire pages with highlighters and trying to reread the text, a student can quiz themselves on the material they just read.

This will help to retain more information and score higher on exams.

• Pulling all-nighters: Many at the high school and college level are particularly guilty of it, but staying up all night cramming for an exam has been shown to do very little good for test preparation or performance. Not only does sleep deprivation turn students into zombies, but it also takes a serious toll on happiness and overall well-being. The best way to avoid pulling all-nighters is to study ahead of time. It’s easier said than done, but the only way to avoid pulling an all-nighter besides not studying at all. Dedicate a few days a week (or more) to study and review the material to avoid trying to cram everything into that brain in one night.

Six good study habits for success

• Pay attention to study location: Find a quiet, uncluttered, distraction-free area away from the residence, and try a few locations until the ideal study place is discovered. Different spots may work for different subjects, too! Whatever the location, leverage powerful new mobile, interactive study solutions that allow high school and college students to better prepare for tests and course work through any portable device from anywhere, at any time. Such engagement helps students better prepare and minimizes stress, providing everything needed to study in one place, including hundreds of practice questions, detailed explanations, guided study plans, and high-quality reading content from the world’s most respected publishers.

• Vary study topics: Psychologists say alternating study topics rather than cramming on a specific one in a single session leaves a deeper impression on the brain. So, don’t grind on the same subject all night.

Change it up, take breaks and re-visit the material in intervals — even spacing over a period of days if possible, which has been proven to enhance retention even further.

• Make information meaningful: Whether it’s creating rhymes or patterns, or even relating material to something else perhaps through word or scenario associations, such tactics can make information more meaningful and will enhance information recollection. The University of Maryland reports mnemonic devices, or memory tricks, are particularly useful for remembering factual information like names, dates, formulas, or other information that requires rote memorization.

• Tap online resources: Don’t get stuck on a problem or resigned to an ill-fated grade in a difficult class as there are powerful resources at a student’s fingertips.

For example, companies like Academic Earth offer a comprehensive online collection of free video tutorials for college courses — all accessible at no cost. Other companies like OpenStudy enable Internet users to readily connect and engage with other students who are learning the same subjects at the same time — regardless of school, expertise or location — facilitating online, on-demand peer-to-peer assistance, support and other helpful interactions.

• Engage in social learning: Research has found that there is a benefit to studying with friends. In one recent study from the Jacobs School of Engineering at the University of California San Diego, it was revealed “the higher the volume of interaction, the more likely the students were willing to exchange information in more complex ways and with greater frequency, forming ‘information cascades,’ a mechanism that spreads information from a single source to one or multiple sources.”

The data showed the higher the scores of the students, the higher the percentage of their interactions that were constant.

• Have a great study attitude: Think positive and focus on skills. Rather than dreading the experience, thinking positive will make the time to study easier to approach and mindshare won’t be expended on feeling resentful. In fact, “study attitudes” was identified in research as one of four pillars that “play a critical and central role in determining students’ academic performance.” In short, study time is a friend. Regard it that way, and soon enough, any student can look forward to a productive, self-fulfilled academic experience.

“Ultimately, students should identify their own study preferences—what works for them on a consistent basis — and act accordingly,” Rangnekar notes. “For example, some students study better in the morning or can better focus in smaller chunks of time rather than a marathon session. Knowing exactly what does and does not work on a personal level, even tracking study patterns and correlating it with related grades, and then proactively creating a study plan and schedule around the proven effective methods, is the most powerful study tool of all.”

4 medium tomatoes, halved Olive oil Salt and pepper Parmesan 4 slices bread 4 large eggs Heat broiler. Place the tomatoes, cutside up, on a broiler proof rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Broil until tender 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to plates and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Meanwhile, brush 1 side of each slice of bread with 1 teaspoon oil. Using a round cookie cutter or drinking glass cut a 2 1/2- or 3-inch hole in the center of each slice, reserving the cutout pieces. Heat 2 teaspoon oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place half the bread and cutouts, oiled side up, in the skillet and cook until the undersides are crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip. Crack 1 egg into each hole. Dividing evenly, season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook. Covered to desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes for runny yolks. Transfer to plates and cover with foil to keep warm.

Repeat with 2 teaspoon oil and the remaining bread and eggs. Serve with the tomatoes and cutouts.
