Wanted: More police officers Spring Valley hears from police chief on departmental needs

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Spring Valley Police Chief Kevin Sangston is looking to create more opportunities for the officers in his department.

At the Spring Valley City Council meeting Monday, Sept.

28, Sangston talked about recent promotional and entry level exams recently conducted by the police department.

He said the department needed to create opportunities for advancement for officers who have been with the department for a while.

“It’s an opportunity to get them to stay here and advance their careers and continue to grow and cultivate leaders of the department in the future,” he said.

Sangston added the department is looking to fill a night supervisor position on the midnight shift. There is also a vacancy at the department for an entry level officer position, which Sangston said was created by a retirement.

He said the department is in need of filling the position as the department has been working on extensive investigations and several other cases that have caused other officers to use overtime hours.

Sangston asked the council to place filling the entry level position on next meeting’s agenda.

“We definitely need it,” he said. “I wouldn’t ask the council to provide for that vacancy if we didn’t need to fill that position, but we do.”

Mayor Walt Marini asked about police officers being called into work on their days off. Sangston confirmed it has

happened on several different occasions.

“People deserve to have their days off,” Marini said, agreeing with Sangston about the need to fill the entry level officer position.

Sangston also added the department currently doesn’t have an investigator, and having an extra officer on staff will free up a part-time investigator position.

“We need to follow-up on some of these cases and need to continue investigations we have already started,” he said.

In other news: • Sangston announced trick-o-treat hours are 5 to 7 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 31.

• The council approved the purchase of a 2001 international model 4900 truck in the amount of $23,167.

• The council awarded a contract for the wastewater treatment plant project to River City Construction in the amount of $11,250,000.

Adding up the numbers PES Board discusses budgets and new age approach to elementary math

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton Elementary School Board met Monday, Sept. 28, at Logan Junior High School to discuss the Fiscal Year 2016 proposed budget and a new math curriculum.

Superintendent Tim Smith said he took a very conservative approach while calculating the FY ‘16 tentative budget as to not underestimate the financial needs of the school district during the upcoming school year.

The district ended FY ‘15 with a fund balance of $1,151,710, and based off projections of the many different financial pins Smith and his colleagues have to juggle, PES No. 115 will end the fiscal year on June 30, 2016, with a projected fund balance of $2,408,366.

Smith also shared the projected budget for the BEST program, with revenues and expenses for FY ‘16 equally projected at $600,069. Smith said the nice thing about the BEST program is that it’s “money in, money out,” with tuition fluctuating based off expenses.

Jefferson Elementary School Principal J.D. Orwig shared his thoughts with the board on a new math program in the district. He said a representative for the Envision math series came

BV invests in students, technology, future Board OKs Chrome Book plan

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — Bureau Valley is now investing in technology to provide better educational opportunities for teachers and students.

At the regular board meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 29, the board agreed to purchase

35 Google Chrome Books for the high school teachers.

The plan is to get the teachers comfortable with the technology and figuring out how to incorporate it into lesson plans. At tan upcoming special meeting, the board will approve the purchase of Chrome Books for every other teacher in the district and for every high-schooler.

The board anticipates the investment to be around $100,000.

At the board meeting, high school Principal Eric Lawson gave a presentation on the need for the technology. He said he had been researching the Chrome Books in order to address concerns with the outdated textbooks and find ways to provide better resources to students throughout the district.

“There are some high-schoolers who

Heather the weather hunter

Cherry native chases down storms to capture the thrill and energy of nature

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — As your family members huddle under the kitchen table listening to the torrential downpour, the roar of a tornadic onslaught and winds ripping past the front door at 70 miles per hour, don’t worry about the flashes near the erupting earth. That’s not lightning striking, it’s just Heather Strass snapping photos.

Strass, originally of Cherry, used to sit on her Grandma Bonnie’s covered porch as a child and watch a storm roll in.

The illuminations of electricity and rumbling herd of thunderheads were magical to her as a youngster, and she has drawn only closer to the raw and revelatory power of nature as an adult.

“The beauty and magnificence of how a storm can change in an instant is amazing to me,” said Strass, who now lives in New Lenox with her husband, Gerry, and their children, Ginger and Gavin. “It is uncontrollable, beautiful and dangerous. Something about an insane storm rolling in charges me up inside.”

Strass chases storms, and she said getting some sweet shots of the ominous beauty before it unleashes its fury on whatever is in its path is her favorite part. Sometimes she’s just getting in from chasing down the perfect lightning strike when her husband is getting up for work, and other times she hops in the car for “just a little while” only to find herself in the middle of the Indiana countryside.

“I kind of just get lost in the moment,” Strass said, calling herself “completely obsessed” with wild weather. “You can feel the pressure changes, the wind patterns and the energy of a storm and all its elements.”

Strass has let her daughter join her on a few chases, and enjoys the look of excitement in Ginger’s eyes when she witnesses the immensity in the atmosphere, but said no mother ever wants to put their children in harm’s way, especially in such an erratic environment. One storm south of New Lenox brought a skyline that mixed the colors of a sherbet sunset with the black and purple hues of a two-day-old bruise, as Strass described it.

“It was literally the first time I was afraid of what might happen next,” said Strass, who understands her family’s concern over her vigor to provoke the vortex. “Some of my friends think I’m insane, and others think it’s totally rad that I get so passionate and take off to chase.”

Strass is a licensed cosmetologist and has been a professional make-up artist for about eight years. Energized by art throughout her life, Strass said there is great satisfaction in enhancing an individual’s beauty. She related the photographic eye she applies to her cosmetics with the vision she is given inside the war zone of whipping wind.

“There are highlights and contours to a storm, structure and dissipation of structures,” said Strass, speaking of a blend of color, textures and contrast. “It all melts together and is very similar when related properly.”

Strass said she would love to eventually go back to school to study meteorology, for if its got to do with a storm, she’s on it. Strass said she would never be so selfish as to wish the devastation or heartache of a tornado on anyone, but if it ever came to fruition, she’d be on the front line quick as a shutter snaps.

“The purpose is to have fun during a total adrenaline rush, and it’s a sense of freedom from everyday life,” she said. “So I guess you could say I have thunder and lightning in my veins!”

Jesse White’s office impacted PHS Board plans for homecoming, by budget stalemate student growth program

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced his office will suspend mailing out vehicle registration renewal reminder notices to the public due to the lack of a state budget.

White noted by suspending this service, which will save approximately $450,000 per month, his office will be able to prolong the ability to mail vehicle registration renewal stickers, titles and license plates to vehicle owners for a few months longer before the postage account is depleted.

“The lack of a Fiscal Year 2016 budget is adversely impacting the Secretary of State’s office, and threatens to jeopardize the services we provide to the public,” said White. “Without a state budget in place, we are doing what we can to manage so that we may serve the people of Illinois for as long as possible. As a result, difficult decisions

like suspending renewal reminder notice mailings are decisions we are being forced to make.”

White also noted if the office’s postage account runs out before January, he will be unable to mail the annual license to auto dealers, which they need to operate in Illinois legally, as well as critical incorporation paperwork needed for businesses in Illinois.

Last week, White issued a letter to the governor and legislative leaders outlining concerns on how the budget stalemate is negatively impacting his office. Some of the concerns included critical computer maintenance and data security issues as well as Driver and Vehicle Services facility operations. White is determined to prioritize difficult cuts to ensure his office can provide core services to the public for as long as possible.

White encouraged vehicle owners to be mindful of their vehicle registration status to ensure they renew in a timely manner and avoid driving on expired vehicle stickers.

He also emphasized that more vehicle owners will be forced to visit facilities to renew their vehicle registration stickers because without a reminder notice they will not have a pin number needed to renew online. However, people who have signed up to receive electronic reminder notices will continue to receive them by email.

To sign up for this service, visit www.cyberdriveillinois.com.

“I urge the governor and the legislature to come together and solve this budget crisis so that my office, and all of state government, can continue providing services to the people of Illinois without interruption,” said White.

Mautino votes to fund public safety and programs for children SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — State Rep. Frank Mautino recently supported legislation to fund training programs for Illinois police officers and reverse $20 million in proposed funding cuts to programs for children with developmental delays.

“The constituents we represent expect the state to fund what is most important to our communities, and few things are as important as safe streets and making sure that toddlers and other young children with developmental delays get the care and therapy they need,” Mautino said.

Mautino backed House Bill 4150, which would fund therapy programs for children from birth to 3 years old; law enforcement training programs across Illinois; and a number of mental health services. The vote followed testimony delivered before the entire House of Representatives by law enforcement officials and service providers from across the state who discussed the consequences of failing to enact a budget.

The measure received 54 votes, with nearly all House Republicans in attendance failing to support the amendment, putting the bill several votes short of the 71 votes it would need to pass the House.

Police officers in Bureau, LaSalle and Putnam counties have already had to cancel several training classes. Topics of those can-

celed classes range from handling domestic violence cases, interacting with mentally ill residents, K-9 certification and firearms qualification. Other classes eliminated due to budget constraints include investigating sexually-based crimes, registering and enforcing sex offenders and other public safety courses.

The budget bill also would restore nearly $20 million in funding for therapy programs for young children. About 20,000 children living in Illinois receive services to assist with physical, occupational, speech and language, and developmental therapy. These programs not only help children with special needs, but studies show providing assistance in children’s early years will save the state from having to provide more costly programs later in life.

“The legislation I supported will prevent our most vulnerable citizens and their families from having to needlessly suffer and provide law enforcement with the resources they need to keep our communities safe,” Mautino said.

“If we fail to invest in public safety and the needs of children with learning delays, we’re failing in our responsibilities. This legislation reflects the priorities of the taxpayers and families we serve. It needs to pass.”

House Bill 4150 awaits further action in the House.

MISSING 1,000 CASH

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — With homecoming just around the corner, members of the Princeton High School Board met Monday, Sept. 28, to celebrate the academic and athletic success of the new school year.

Principal Andy Berlinski said School Improvement Day took place Friday, Sept. 18, and allowed staff the opportunity to continue assessment development and submit those assessments to the Performance Evaluation Reform Act Committee (PERA), as well as completing all Illinois School Board of Education (ISBE) mandated training.

Berlinski added a new student growth pilot program will begin in the spring semester of 2016, and all teachers are required to submit drafts of the assessments they wish to use for the program on Friday, Oct. 9. The PERA Joint Committee will review the assessments, offering feedback and approving those determined worthy.

As of Friday, Sept. 25, 80 lanyards had been distributed to members of the senior class, and the remaining recipients will have their lanyards by the October board meeting, Berlinski said. Seniors must pass seven out of eight classes in order to keep their lanyards.

Homecoming festivities will begin Monday, Oct. 5, and run through the

Friday night clash with St. Bede on Bryant Field on Oct. 9. Students will line the halls with blue and white and dress up throughout the week.

The homecoming parade will stretch from Zearing Park to PHS, beginning at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8, with a pep rally to follow on the football field.

The homecoming dance will be from 7 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 10.

Berlinski said he and PHS Director of Technology Steve Morton will present at the Illinois Principals Association Conference on Monday, Oct. 19, focusing on their experience using Google Apps for Education.

The PHS Board members approved the following: • The Fiscal Year 2015 audit report, as well as the FY ‘16 proposed budget.

• A short-term technology loan with Centrue Bank at an interest rate of 2.05 percent, in compliance with the terms of a lease purchase levy for technology.

• The annual application for ISBE recognition, which ensures the educational program is operating in compliance with all applicable state codes and statutes.

• The appointments of Rob Jackson, Scholastic Bowl coach; Alyssa Rose, head softball coach; Karl Schultz and Joann Wright, FFA volunteers; and Sydney Young, special education aide.

go one to two weeks without even using a piece of technology,” he said.

“With BVision2020, we want to provide the best resources for our kids.”

Lawson said the plan is to expose students to something they might see in their college classroom and what they are going to see in the work environment.

“You’re investing in the kids,” he said to the board. “It looks like you’re investing in technology, but you’re investing in the future of students. I would put my money on kids anytime.”

Lawson said he had recently toured Princeton and Sherrard high schools to get a first hand look at how they had implemented technology in the classroom. Like Sherrard, he said it would be a goal for Bureau Valley to have a 1-to-1 district-wide initia-

Orwig indicated his staff voiced their satisfaction with the multiple online resources and visual interactivity the program offered their students.

He also asked the Envision representative for a few mock up lessons that would show the entire curriculum to teachers to help them further understand what’s tangible for an effective lesson plan.

Smith said this new math program is very different from what teachers and parents have experienced in the past because it’s Common Core-based, and the transition will be ongoing for a number of years.

“Some lessons will ask students to do things they’ve never been asked to do,” Smith said, adding consistency from grade level to grade level between students and their families is a point of focus. “As much as some would like to go back to blackboard and chalk, our kids are going to be held to this standard, and it’s our responsibility to prepare

tive, where every student had their own Chrome Book.

Moving forward, he said the key part in implementing the new technology is making sure all teachers are comfortable with the Chrome Books and have plenty of professional development with the new technology.

“I want teachers to be confident in using the computers before they are given to students,” he said.

Board member Don DeWaele was adamant with the idea of getting the Chrome Books. He said he would like to see high school students using the devices next semester. He said Bureau Valley is not re-inventing the wheel with implementing technology in the classroom.

“We’re behind. We’re behind everyone in our area,” he said.

DeWaele gave out a few ideas he had for the Chrome Books. He said

them.”

Although the education and building funds are better than in recent years, Smith reiterated the transportation fund is a current problem because Illinois is only reimbursing the district 56 percent of what they are obligated to for the transportation fund.

“We’re an elementary district. Our kids can’t drive to school, so we have a need for buses,” Smith said.

The Illinois Association of School Boards Fall Starved Rock meeting will be at Spring Valley Elementary beginning around 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 6. Tony Smith, superintendent of the Illinois State Board of Education, will be speaking at the meeting.

The initial community engagement training will take place for PES Board members at Logan Junior High School at 4 p.m.

The board briefly discussed the possibility of charging a maintenance fee to students, which would be similar to the textbook rental fee they currently pay today.

Chasing happy According to David Jeremiah, if you type “happy” into Google, more than 650 million entries will come up. Clearly, we are obsessed with becoming happy.

And that begs me to think, with all of the luxury items and abilities our society has, why can’t we find happiness?

Shouldn’t that weekly mani/pedi, 80-inch TV, double chocolate cookie dough custard with caramel and fudge swirls (I definitely thought about that one too much), and 50-pound weight loss and makeover job fix that itch? Or what about those dime a dozen selfhelp books? Why are we so happy-void people anyway? What does it even mean to be happy?

That’s a puzzler right there. I’m not actually sure if Danae I have a concrete Ross answer, but I have experienced the COMMENTARY symptoms of what I’d call happiness: Peace, contentment in my situation, a smile that refuses to leave my face. And the funniest part is that it never seems to happen when I try one of those get-happy techniques. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m never looking for happiness when it hits me.

I believe this revelation began earlier this year with God nudging me a little, bugging me to really seek Him out and get off my butt and start doing something for Him. I was in an uncomfortable place, dealing with some struggles I couldn’t seem to overcome, and my pitiful routine simply wasn’t working.

So I began intentionally reading my Bible and searching for my “place” in life. At the time I still didn’t even know what I wanted my major to be, and that was really weighing on me. Like, come on God, I’ve put all this work into school, so why haven’t you given me insight about this perfect plan you have?

Everybody and their brother tells me you have one, but I’m sorta thinking mine got tossed in a trash bin somewhere.

So amidst my searching I stumbled upon Beachbody, a fitness and health company that helps people lose weight, get fit, feel good, gain financial stability, all the works. I really wanted to try one of the products but didn’t want to pay full price, so I signed up as a coach to get the discount. Shortly after falling in love with it, though, I decided I actually wanted to coach and help people gain back health and confidence in themselves. I struggled enough with eating myself (and still do sometimes) that I never want someone else to have to deal with that alone.

So I started posting my about my routine, healthy recipes, workouts and how God was helping me do all of this and changing my heart in the process. It was SO out of my comfort zone. I almost never posted much on social media before this and was sure people were thinking, “Who does this girl think she is?

How annoying.” But after getting really honest and connecting all of my struggles and accomplishments in health and fitness to a God who is greater than any issue I face, people started reaching out to me, thanking me for the posts, seeking out my opinion and help, talking to me about God and my faith.

At first my introverted self was slightly overwhelmed that anyone was even reading the posts, but then it motivated me to work even harder at it, to be intentional about my faith-health journey and make it a consistent habit to write posts, reach out and encourage people, and pour into the fitness challenge groups I was running (and still do) as a coach.

Each little conversation, the uplifting ones as well as the challenging ones, brought me more and more purpose. They brought me joy and a deep sense of peace that I was doing the right thing. I am not perfect, and I don’t have all of the answers; I was simply being honest about my journey and showing people the constant work God was doing in my heart. And it made me genuinely happy.

Not because I was serving myself or looking for ways to make myself happy, but because I was attempting to serve others and glorify God with what He was doing in my life, right where I was. Right where I am now.

I haven’t graduated college yet, figured out where I will work, where I will live, who I will marry; I don’t have much money; my car is always on the fritz; my

From inkling to entirety Hence, I shall unleash my soul upon this slab of sheet. I shall swim through the ocean of thought, doubt, possibility and perspective as I find the buoyancy to drift within the fundamentals of float. I tune my ears to the frequency of your request, that all you hope for and dream of will enter my cranium like water flowing through a funnel.

In turn, I will take the many slivers of liquid with which you’ve showered my reality, and plant them to rise as a single river.

I am a poet. I take the leaves from the tree and turn them into forests of fruit. I take a light bulb and find a pillar of fire amplified, yearning to burst forth with translucence from the glass casket in which it is encased. I travel without a map, and lap ideas from the pool of prospective inception. Counting outside the numbers at the edge of calculation, I carve more sharply the corners of every numeral between.

I am a writer. I take letters that have shed their former skins and blend them together in recognition of words willing to come to fruition. I am sentenced to the theory of creation, my only cell mate the language of compilation. As the pen presses, the ink flows through my beating heart, cementing the fleeting endeavors of time as they quiver by like wind through stalks in a wheat field.

I am a journalist. I walk into my

Eric Engel COMMENTARY

world like a magnet in a metal shop, drawn to everything in my midst. I seek out your story, that it may be crowned with the glory of exposure, released from the bondage of a single approach into the atmosphere of analysis. Your audience cheers like observers around an Olympic torch, leaving the station of the uneducated en route to the exhilaration of awareness.

We of the print profession will take your information and mold the notions together like colors layered by the painter’s stroking brush. Lush through the prism your tale splatters across the landscape of perspective, my efforts in line with timing a proper twist upon your many twines of wisdom.

It is my responsibility to swallow the pill of public offering and be a megaphone through which the information is distributed. I attempt with all my effort to provide an accurate, unbiased and yet unfiltered description that is not manipulated, but offered without falsification as a gesture of verbal medication. What does a liar gain except the corner of the room between his shoulder blades? The

refining process is not intended for the exclusion of integral idea, but the renaissance of the smoothest lingual fusion.

Yet I am still a faulty human being, attempting an art form the whole world has the opportunity to scrutinize. I misspell words and run late to interviews. I have left out quotes from articles because my heart did not agree with them.

I allow judgment to creep into my mind concerning public figures and their political stances in moments before, during and after our interaction. I am a person with my own perspective, opinions and beliefs, and those attributes can be confining in this profession, yet the most important feathers freedom spreads.

How about this — you continue growing, full of laughter and love, showing me what there is to know, inviting me to the highlights of your life. I will go about my desire to approach you with my mind wide, my arm extended to the heavens, dipping into the oils of every sunset, as I reckon how to paint the pages with the colors of universal hue. Delight in your life as if it is your only job, and trust in me to properly accomplish mine.

As Isaac Asimov so eloquently said, “I write for the same reason I breathe — because if I didn’t, I would die.”

A legacy of safety and health An Illinois lawmaker will step down after the 2016 election. Don Moffitt will be remembered for his work to improve safety and health.

State Rep. Don Moffitt, the 68-year-old Gilson Republican, announced he will step down after next year’s election; nevertheless, he has had an impact on many local residents, whether they know it or not.

Moffitt, an 11-term lawmaker who represents the 74th District, including southwestern Lee County and much of Bureau County, sponsored legislation to require safety arms on the front of school buses that swing out when the bus stops.

The arms prevent children from crossing in front of buses where the drivers can’t see them.

No one knows how many young lives that law has saved, but we do

know that we hear much less about that kind of tragic accident these days.

Moffitt helped establish a No-interest Revolving Fire Truck Loan program. Many fire protection districts and departments across the state have benefited, and so have the citizens they serve.

Moffitt sponsored a bill to close a loophole in the smoke detector law.

The result is that motels and hotels are required to have working smoke detectors protecting every room.

Think about that the next time you stay in a motel.

Before Moffitt got House Bill 5183 approved, no minimum standards existed for ambulances that provide critical care transport. Neither did standards exist for professionals who provide that service. Now they do.

And Moffitt successfully pushed for passage of the DNA/Genetic Testing Privacy Act, which prevents discrimination by insurance companies and employers on the basis of genetic test results.

The veteran lawmaker has led by example as far as personal responsibility for one’s own health is concerned.

About three years ago, Moffitt embarked on a weight-loss and personal fitness program after his doctor warned him that obesity was threatening his future health.

Over the course of two years, he lost 100 pounds and reaped the benefits of a healthier lifestyle.

Then, he encouraged other legislators to eat healthier by launching an informal “fitness caucus.”

He also worked to have healthier snack choices offered in vending machines at the State Capitol and at state-owned rest stops.

Moffitt has served the public in numerous capacities throughout the years. He’s been a teacher, mayor, alderman, county board member and county treasurer, not to mention a state representative since 1993. He also has a background in farming.

Moffitt plans to serve out the full term that voters elected him to in November. We appreciate that dedication.

From school children to senior citizens, Illinoisans are safer and likely healthier because of Don Moffitt. That’s a legacy we are pleased to salute.

Constitution of the United States, 1789

family argues a few times too many; I mess up; get moody, fail ... yet none of that matters. In the midst of my average life I find happiness on a regular basis when I seek out God and try to serve others and honor Him amongst my daily adventures.

So I guess the point of this rat trail is that happiness is not something you buy. It’s not something you chase after. It finds you. It sneaks up

behind you when you stop searching for it; forget about yourself, and start putting your efforts into living the life God gave you with intention.

Doing your best to use your gifts and belongings to love on and help others. It doesn’t have to be lavish or perfect. Simply come as you are and say, “God I don’t have much to offer, but use me today and I will do my best to obey.”

And you can get all that for a charge of zero dollars and zero cents, free advice from the nosebleed section. I can’t say that it is a quick road to happiness, but give it a try and I guarantee good results, no warranty or return policy needed.

Inga Carus (left) and Blouke Carus (right) presented a scholarship check for $10,000 to Katie Hoffert (center), the Carus’ centennial scholarship winner.

Carus Corporation awards scholarship LASALLE — Carus Corporation, a third generation, family-owned manufacturer specializing in specialty chemistries and environmental solutions, celebrated its centennial year with a company-wide family and stakeholder picnic, where the company awarded a $10,000 scholarship to Katie Hoffert of Hollowayville, Ill. The event was held at the historic Hegeler Carus Mansion in LaSalle.

Behind the mansion, which was the family home of Carus’ founder, Dr. Edward Hegeler Carus, once stood the original barn where Dr. Carus initially experimented with potassium permanganate, which the company still produces.

“It was 100 years ago that my father made his first test tube of potassium permanganate in the horse barn on the property here in LaSalle,” said Blouke Carus, who has worked at the company throughout two-thirds of its 100-year history. “As my Uncle Alwin tells it, my father came in and shouted, ‘Eureka! I’ve found it!’

Little did he know that it would not only lead to a company 100 years later, but that we would be a

world-leader in making potassium permanganate, so we have a lot to celebrate!”

As part of the celebration, Inga Carus, chairman and CEO, presented a $10,000 check to Carus’ centennial scholarship winner, Katie Hoffert.

Hoffert, a junior at Mount Mercy University in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, also won a paid internship opportunity in Carus’ research laboratory, which she completed this summer.

“I learned so much,” said Hoffert, who is studying biology and biochemistry. “The best part about the internship was seeing everything Carus does. You don’t realize how much of a contributor they are to everything in our world, things in our everyday lives, which most people don’t realize come from somewhere, and Carus is responsible for it.”

Over the last 100 years, new approaches to product research, customer support, and manufacturing process improvement have turned Carus from a single-product manufacturer operating out of an old barn in 1915, to a global company with diverse product lines. The firm’s roughly 400 employees

primarily focus on making products for water treatment, air purification and soil remediation.

“In another 100 years, we’ll be a completely different company,” said Inga Carus. “As an example, we are in the process of developing some exciting additions to our product lines that are going to help clean-up the environment in new ways.”

Carus is one of the most prominent family-run businesses in Illinois, with its headquarters and main production facility in LaSalle-Peru, in the heart of Starved Rock country. As it has grown over the years, the company has added subsidiaries and facilities both in the United States and abroad, including in Indiana, Nevada, North Carolina and Spain. However, the company says LaSalle is home.

“We stay in LaSalle, Illinois, because we have an incredible employee base here that is highly-trained, very skilled and simply does amazing work,” said Carus. “We have a worldclass manufacturing plant in LaSalle that we intend to continue investing in, and while we want to grow internationally, this is our home base.”

Hall welcomes two new staff members SPRING VALLEY — Hall High School has two new staff members this year, Jesse Brandt and Susan Lucas.

Brandt is the 201516 principal. He comes to Hall after serving as assistant principal and activities director at Princeton High School.

He was a math teacher before joining the ranks as an administrator. He earned his undergraduate degree at Illinois State University and his mas-

ter’s degree is from Western Illinois University.

Brandt finds the Hall community “very welcoming and accommodating” and is looking forward to the school year.

Lucas, Hall’s new guidance counselor, also comes to Hall from the Princeton school district where she was a counselor. She taught in the Oglesby public school system before becoming a school counselor. Her

undergraduate degree is from ISU and her Master of Science in Education in counseling is from Northern Illinois University.

When asked about her first impression of Hall, Lucas responded, “The staff, students, parents and board of education have been more than welcoming and kind, and the building is absolutely amazing! It is most definitely a great day to be a Red Devil!”

Apple Press sold PERU — Greg Vaccaro and Chuck Alleman have announced the sale of Apple Press to Jay Endress of Peru.

The Peru-based commercial printer specializing in all forms of printing, promotional products and apparel was founded in 1983 by Vaccaro and Alleman.

“This is a company with many proud traditions,” said Endress. “From its customer service dedication to providing the highest quality printing and support services, staying true to its values has gotten Apple Press to where it is today.

We plan on continuing down this path while also positioning the company for growth.”

Endress’ future plans for Apple Press include, “evolving our business strategy, while continuing to deliver industry-leading solutions to our customers.

I am thrilled to a part of this dynamic organization, which has a strong track record of success and I share Greg and

Chuck’s dedication to Apple Press’ strategy and success.

Endress announced Alleman will stay on at Apple Press and will be involved in customer service. Additionally, the remaining staff of Apple Press will continue in their current capacity. No change in the management of Apple Press is expected. Services, quality and the products produced by Apple Press will continue to be handled in the same manner as usual. Endress intends to maintain all of Apple Press’ customers, employees, sales representatives, suppliers and its highly visible location at the corner of Route 251 and adjacent to Illinois Valley Community College.

Endress is an experienced business owner and currently manages the St. Bede Abbey Press located on the grounds of St. Bede Abbey and Academy. Endress’ background is in the printing and newspaper industries and related businesses that complement Apple Press.

SPRINGFIELD — Liberty Village in Princeton was presented with the 2015 Media Event of the Year award by the Illinois Health Care Association (IHCA) recently at the general opening session and awards ceremony held during IHCA’s 65th Annual Convention and Expo in Peoria.

It is not always easy for nursing facilities to garner positive media coverage or publicity.

A Princeton couple was planning to renew their vows in Florida; however, before they could finalize the plans, the husband got sick with brain cancer. The trip had to be cancelled, but thanks to the staff at Liberty Village of Princeton, the vow renewal didn’t

have to be. They hosted the event at the facility, with only two days to bring the whole event together. They brought the beach to Liberty Village, and had nearly 50 people in attendance.

Local media covered the event, and the couple got their picture in the paper to commemorate the day.

“Our profession is all about CARE — Compassion, Attitude, Respect and Excellence,” said IHCA President John Vrba. “This year’s staff and volunteer award winners have shown that they have what it takes to truly make a difference in the lives of the residents they serve and they deserve to be congratulated for their

efforts.”

“Illinois Health Care Association is proud to honor all of the award winners – they are the best of the best in our association,” added Executive Director David Voepel. “We hold these dedicated professionals in the highest regard and their recognition gives others in our association someone to aspire to be. We applaud their service to long term care and thank them for a job well done!”

Award recipients are nominated by their peers; winners are chosen by the IHCA Awards Task Force and announced at the annual IHCA Convention and Expo.

Reuniting residents with unclaimed property SPRINGFIELD – Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs’ staff will be in Princeton on Oct. 6 to help reunite citizens with unclaimed property through the I-Cash program.

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

Statewide, Frerichs secures more than $2 billion in unclaimed cash and property.

The Princeton event will be from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the Princeton Public

Library, 698 E. Peru St. The Illinois Treasurer’s Office never charges money for its assistance to reclaim cash or property. The office is the custodian of unclaimed property including lost bank accounts, insurance policy proceeds, and forgotten safe deposit boxes. Items are surrendered after private entities tried for at least five years to locate the owners.

Because thousands of items are surrendered each year, residents should check I-Cash every six months. Visit www.illinoistreasurer.gov<http://www.illinoistreasurer.gov/> or call 217.785.6998.

Three Rivers Cross Country Meet

Lady Clippers capture TRAC title

Game of the Week

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — A quick start and strong finish.

Amboy/LaMoille junior Megan Grady (18:52.12) had both of those as she outpaced her closest competition and last year’s conference champion Bureau Valley sophomore Haley Weidner (19:35.13) by 43 seconds to lead the Clippers on a windy and chilly evening at Zearing Park in Princeton.

The Clippers were a force to be reckoned with on Tuesday as three Clippers — Grady, junior Erin Hosto (sixth, 20:35.28) Haley senior Jennifer Popovich Weidner (eighth, 20:49.17) all placed in the top 10 to run away with their second conference championship in three years, defeating Newman by 18 points.

“Steve Prefontaine said about running, ‘Suicide pace is the best pace and today is a good day to die,’ and I really had nothing to lose. I just really modeled after him, and I knew if I got out fast enough I could keep the lead. This is surreal right now,” Grady said smiling from ear to ear.

Weidner tried to maintain pace with Grady whom she had beat on Saturday at the Princeton invitational.

“She’s usually coming up right behind, so I tried to push it so she wouldn’t have that kick in the end and I guess she didn’t and she started dying out. She’s just a great competitor and I’m really glad that she is out. Most people don’t like to have such a good competitor, but she paces me and pushes me to do my best,” Grady said of Weidner.

Princeton senior Brianna Legner, who was seventh in 20:41.1, and Hall freshman Jenna Parente, who was 12th in 21:13, earned

The Princeton Tigers are taking the 2015 football season in phases.

They have completed the first five successfully, becoming playoff eligible for the first time in 12 years with a 5-0 start.

Make no mistake, the next phase will be their biggest to date. On Friday, they will lock horns with Sterling Newman featuring a battle between the No. 1 ranked Comets and the newly No. 9 ranked Tigers. Both are unbeaten in the TRAC Mississippi.

“It’s going to be an exciting game, another real test for us, but great motivation because we have the opportunity to do great things for our school, community and football program,” PHS senior quarterback Jake Reinhardt said.

“We can’t wait for Friday. We get a chance to play the No. 1 team in the state. It’s another chance to prove ourselves as a team and in the conference,” PHS senior fullback Jacob “Bubba” Smith said. “Both teams want to keep their undefeated seasons going. It should be another true battle to the end and an exciting four quarters of

football.”

It is the first time the Tigers have been ranked since the 2002 season when they reached the 4A semifinals. That season also stands as the last time Princeton started the season at 5-0 and just the seventh time in school history.

Princeton pulled its fifth win out of the hat last week, taking advantage of opportunities presented. When the Fulton Steamers fumbled the ball on second down, the Tigers cashed in three plays later on a three-yard touchdown by junior Bret “Boom” Emmerson.

The week before, the Tigers also persevered to beat rival Hall. Blake Janssen forced a key Hall fumble late to keep the Red Devils from tying the game.

Legendary Coach Harold Gaffney guided this team that was led by a large group of seniors. The Bruins carried a

.325 batting average, topped by Tom Peterson, at .478 and was a leader in nearly every other offensive category. Along with teammates John Balestri, Greg Basalay, Paul Bernabei and Phil Hopkins, who each had batting averages over .350, the line-up was stacked from top to bottom.

Volleyball: Princeton def. Kewanee 25-19, 25-19

Tigresses in control at Kewanee

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

KEWANEE — Sometimes the score (Princeton 25-25, Kewanee 19-19) doesn’t reflect the tone and feeling of a match, as was the case in the Tigresses two game victory over the Boilermakers Tuesday, Sept.

29, during Three Rivers action at H.F. Brockman Gymnasium.

Although the Tigresses were only victorious by six in each of the night’s sets and allowed the Boilermakers to hang around, there was never a feeling that the Tigresses would allow the Boilermakers to make a move to get out in front. Princeton played nearly mistake free volleyball which translated to an easy victory on the court.

“We played well. We definitely executed things we worked on in practice and for us to become a more complete team come the post season and get us to that next level, we need to push through a wall that is our comfort zone,” Princeton coach Andy Puck said. “We need to run a little quicker offense and a little bit quicker on defense and we did that tonight. We’ve been working on that in practice and I was really glad to see those things executed tonight,” Kewanee jumped out to an early lead in the first game as they were up 8-7, but an attempted kill by Kewanee’s Mitrese Smith was the first of

Oeder’s first block gave the Tigresses a 10-9 lead and started a 9-1 run by the Tigresses to put the first game out of reach.

Princeton kept that momentum rolling from there as the go ahead point by Oeder simultaneously put her team out front for the remainder of the match as they never trailed

from that point on.

“We’re more confident and we are getting sharper in a lot of areas, but we’re just not there for a 3A postseason,” Puck said. “We definitely have to quicken our game pace as the season runs out because we’ll run into kids that are quicker, jump higher, their serves are a little snappier and they hit harder around the net than some of the competition we’re used to.”

TRAC From Page 13 all-conference honors with top 15 finishes. St. Bede’s Annie Needs just missed the cut in 16th (21:38.53).

Two area teams round out the top four for the girls, with Hall claiming third and the Bureau Valley Storm fourth. Princeton Tigers finished eighth and St. Bede was 10th.

Newman Central claimed first place in the boys race as junior Chris Ahlers paced the field with a time of 15:44 to squeak

by Kewanee’s Rolando Aguilar by five seconds.

Ahlers, Aguilar and Amboy-LaMoille senior James Blackburn all jumped out in front of the pack and were pacing each other until Ahlers turned it on about midway through the course and was able to get a little distance between himself and the other top three finishers down the home stretch.

“I was really hoping for first. That was the goal this year, but I’m happy with going home with third place. That was about a 20-second improvement for me on this course,” Blackburn said.

The BV boys didn’t have any one individual standout among the crowd as they had no All-Conference runners, but a solid effort from every individual on the team resulted in the Storm hoisting the third-place hardware.

Two area runners claimed all-conference honors. Hall sophomore Wesley Schmidt was 13th (17:29) and Princeton senior Cody Workman claimed the last spot in 15th (17:30).

Other top area finishers were Tom Stamberger (17th, 17:34) of Amboy/ LaMoille, Gage Ripka of Hall (20th, 17:45) and Carter Funfsinn (23rd, 18:05) of St. Bede.

Oeder shined in the first game around the net but slowed down a bit in the second when senior outside hitter Hailey Schultz started jumping out of the gym and became a handful for the Boilermaker defense.

“Haley is our go to and Courtney has really started to come into her own. Confidence has been an issue with her, but now she knows she can play with any middle in the conference because she alters their shots and makes them second-guess when they are hitting,” Puck said. “Tieg (Sisler, senior middle blocker), our other middle, does the exact same things but she may not show up in the box score as much. She does wonders taking away good players’ best shots.”

Contributions came from everyone on the night for the Tigresses with Schultz having 10 kills and five digs, Oeder with five kills and three blocks, while defensive specialist Sarah Murray chipped in two digs and 12 points with three aces.

The Tigresses look to continue to improve in the next coming weeks as the season winds down in the march towards the postseason. The Tigresses play hosts to Prophetstown Prophets at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 1, in Prouty Gymnasium.

BCR insider: After ripping off 72 points at Sherrard last week, Hall coach Randy Tieman, joked he hoped the Red Devils saved some points for this week, because “we will need them.” The Boilermakers pose a formidable opponent, and have added a new dimension with the late addition of the talented Donovan Oliver at receiver. Tieman said Oliver, an all-state basketball player, is a tough match-up as big as he is and they will have to be physical off the line with him. “I’m very impressed from what I see on film. We will have to go over there and play a solid game on both sides of the ball. Coach Nichols does a great job getting his team ready to play,” Tieman said. ... Chris Hammonds was more than ready last week for Hall. He rushed for 315 yards and 5 TDs. ...

County gridders aim for playoffs

By Brent Jamison sports@bcrnews.com

For high school football teams, the magic number is five.

Five wins will qualify you for a playoff selection.

It doesn’t guarantee you a berth, but if you have a high number of playoff points, your chances are good.

Heading into Week Six, all four Bureau County football teams have a legitimate shot at reaching that goal. It would be the first time since 2003.

Princeton (5-0) has already reached the number, the first time in 12 years. Hall (4-1) seems to be a lock. With two straight wins, St. Bede (3-2) is getting close. Bureau Valley (2-3) will have the toughest task, but are through the hardest part of their schedule.

For the Bruins and the Storm they will have two different paths to reach five wins.

The Bruins are playing their best football of the season right now and it’s

coming at a good time.

Their final four opponents are all state-ranked, including a meeting with the undefeated Tigers in Princeton on Oct. 9.

“That’s going to be tough but we are going to step up to the plate and accept the challenge,” said St. Bede running back Baylee Hopps. “We have to play hard the rest of the season.”

The Bruins are also slowly getting healthy.

Quarterback Bryant Eustice said having Brady Booker back has been a big lift for the defense.

Booker also played some offense against Kewanee last Friday and scored on a touchdown run.

Coach Jim Eustice said his team still has to clean up some mistakes to put teams away.

The Bruin’s final four opponents have a combined record of 18-2.

The Storm are coming off an impressive 24-point win over Amboy and they have winless Sherrard this Friday. BV coach Spencer Davis said in the begin-

Game From Page 13 “I am proud of the way our kids persevered, but we have to make sure we finish drives on offense and play our responsibilities on defense,” said PHS coach Jesse Snyder, who is guaranteed his first winning season as head coach.

“It is a great opportunity for our kids to understand the importance on playing every down with everything you have all the way until that last buzzer sounds.”

Newman has also had to persevere over the past two weeks. Coming off a competitive game with Kewanee (38-29) in Week 4, the Comets were fortunate to hold off Erie/Prophetstown Saturday.

E/P scored on a jump-ball pass play into the end zone to stun the Newman faithful and take a 20-18 lead with just 38.2 seconds left.

However, Newman sophomore quarterback Landon Vesley, starting his second game, scored from 15 yards out with 15.5 seconds left to cap a breathless final three minutes of the Comets’ 26-20 win.

The heart-stopping victory pushed the Comets’ regular-season win streak intact at 22 straight and netted longtime coach Mike Papoccia his 303rd coaching

We finally got a couple of 10-0s last week. Before you double check, there were a couple of misprints with Brent’s picks. He actually had both BV and St. Bede winning. His picks were inadvertently reversed with Dan’s.

ning of the season that his young team would grow and get better as the season went along. This could be their time.

victory.

Snyder knows the proud Newman squad will come to play and defend their home turf.

“Newman is a very disciplined team.

They make very few mistakes and run the ball extremely well. Coach Papoccia and his staff do a phenomenal job preparing their kids,” he said. “We have to be disciplined in our assignments and execute offensively, defensively, and on special teams. We have to limit our mistakes and play physical football for four quarters.”

PHS has been winning its games on both sides of the ball. Its defense has been especially stingy, allowing just 33 points through five weeks, and making plays at crucial times. The Tigers are also explosive offensively, averaging 31 ppg.

• Tiger tales: The 2015 Tigers become just the seventh PHS squad, as researched by the BCR, to start the season at 5-0. Other such starts came in 2002, 1997, 1989, 1986, 1969 and 1933.

The 1967 and 1954 PHS teams started 5-0-1. ... PHS is taking a fan bus to Friday’s game, which is played at Sterling High School’s Chevrolet Field at Roscoe Eades Stadium.

Lady Lions crown the Royals

From Page 13 Bill Baracani, Tom Clancy, John Levisay and John Grivetti.

Bill Andreoni A two-sport athlete, Bill Andreoni (Class of 1971) set school records in track and football. He still holds the academy pole vault record at 12-feet and set the indoor low hurdle record.

A quarterback, Andreoni was named as MVP of the Bruins football team and made the smallschool all-state team. He is one of 11 quarterbacks in school history to throw for over 1,000 yards in one season.

Andreoni and his wife of 41 years, Collette, have sent two sons to the academy, Tony (2000) and Michael (2002).

Sarah (Slevin) Wien The three-sport athlete gave her father, Hall of Fame broadcaster, Lenny Slevin, plenty of highlights to report, though the modesty that runs in their family would limit their conversation.

Wien was a standout runner, qualifying for state in both cross country and track. She was twice named as the BCR Cross Country Runner of the Year. In track, she maintains school records in the 1600 (5:39.4) and 3200 (12:24.38), as well as the 3200 relay (10:32.1).

She was a member of that team which qualified for state in the spring of 2000.

She was also a member of the first-ever Sweet Sixteen girls’ team for the 1999-2000 season. She was named Defensive MVP in her junior year and was elected a captain for her senior year.

Wien ran track and cross country for Illinois Wesleyan University. She is employed by Optimus (Chicago) as an executive producer making television commercials. She has continued to participate in road races in Chicago where she resides with

Tom Ptak A three-sport athlete, Tom Ptak was named as the Academy’s co-Athlete of the Year in his senior year of 1974-75.

In football, Ptak was named as Most Outstanding Defensive Lineman for the 1974 season. He also received Special Mention All-State by the Chicago Daily News and All-Catholic All-American Outstanding Mention.

On the hardwood, Ptak was known by coach Jim Yeakel as the “zone-breaker” for his long-distance shooting.

He averaged 11.8 ppg and received All-State recognition.

The lefty ace pitched the Bruins baseball team to the regional championship (3-2) over Putnam County.

Ptak returned to the academy to coach in both the girls and boys basketball programs and currently is head women’s

coach at IVCC. Sarah Stariha Known for the way she played the game with intensity as well as her abilities, Sarah Stariha was a year-round standout. Stariha was the definition of hard work, she was a leader and a tremendous teammate.

While she was the team MVP and all-conference in volleyball, it may not have been her best sport.

She excelled on the basketball court and softball diamond. She was named as team MVP in both sports, earning multi All-Conference and AllBCR recognition.

Sarah took her talents to Beloit College to play basketball and softball.

She is currently a fourth year chemical engineering doctoral student at the University of New Mexico specializing in non-precious group metalcatalysts for hydrogen fuel cells.

It’s that time ...

With the corn and beans drying nicely in the late summer/early fall heat, farm machinery in and around the county can be seen from sunup through long after the sun goes down. While it’s no secret motorists need to share the road with the often over-sized farm machinery, it’s important drivers of both vehicles observe good sound safety practices and use a good share of common sense. Motorists should remember a slow-moving piece of farm equipment can not stop quickly, and oftentimes, they can only get so far off the roadway to allow faster vehicles to pass because of obstacles in the ditch and driveways. Many websites say patience could be a life-saving virtue when it comes to sharing the roadways at this time of year. Likewise, those behind the wheels of farm equipment should remember to make sure all directional signals are working properly and to follow all guidelines for driving the large equipment on highways and other roads. Many websites also suggest drivers of the large equipment attempt to pull over in a safe place if the line of vehicles behind is growing long. If everyone observes safety and patience, the area will have a safe and bountiful harvest.

“Letters About Literature” invites students to read a book, poem or play of their choice and write a letter to the author about how the work changed their life or view of the world. Students can enter on their own or through their schools, libraries or other youth organizations.

Anyone who has read past letters can see how literature inspires and touches the lives of our young people. I encourage all our students to take part in Letters About Literature, and I hope their participation leads to a lifetime of reading.”

There are three levels of participation: Level I for Grades 4-6, Level II for Grades 7-8 and Level III for Grades 9-12. One Illinois winner will be selected for each level and receive a $200 cash award. Teachers of the winning students will receive a $100 cash award to purchase materials for their school library.

Winners and teachers will be invited to an awards ceremony in Springfield.

The state winners’ letters will be forwarded for national judging. In last year’s competition, Illinois Level III winner, Aidan

Lincoln’s New Salem has candlelight tours PETERSBURG, Ill. – Explore Lincoln’s New Salem after dark, a place of warm campfires, flickering candles and swirling glow sticks. Fireplaces and lanterns will light the log buildings of this re-created 1830s village during the annual Candlelight Walk on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 2-4, from 7 to 9 p.m. Outside, musicians will play next to campfires, and a blacksmith will shape metal by the light of his forge.

Many visitors will carry glow sticks, filling the air with green, red and blue streaks.

The free event is sponsored by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency and the New Salem Lincoln League. The Candlelight Walk offers the only opportunity to see the village at night. The event will be canceled only in the event of severe weather.

Live music in the village will be provided by The Prairie Aires on Friday and Sunday and by the Wildwood Strings on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. In addition, musicians will perform on traditional

‘Ghosts of Ottawa past’ guided tour

instruments such as harps and dulcimers throughout the village.

Staff and volunteers in period clothing will be inside many of the village’s log homes and shops to talk about life in 19th century Illinois.

Gingerbread and cider will be served in the Rutledge Tavern. OMGosh! Bistro at New Salem will be open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. all three days.

The museum store, bookstore and souvenir shop operated by the New Salem Lincoln League will be open, as will the Visitor Center and the New Salem Tradition Exhibit.
