Rawlings: ‘This is scary news’

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department, as well as other health departments around the state and country, are keeping watch on the growing Ebola virus con-

Ebola hits United States

cern in the United States.

The Ebola virus has killed more than 3,300 people in West Africa in recent months. This week, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) confirmed the first Ebola diagnosis in the United States in a patient in a Texas hospital.

Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck released a statement on Thursday concerning this latest Ebola diagnosis news.

“While not easily trans-

mittable, Ebola is a very serious virus. At this time, Ebola does not pose a great health risk to the people of Illinois. The Illinois Department of Public Health continues to work with the CDC, local health departments, hospitals and medical facilities to be vigilant for Ebola,” Hasbrouck said.

On Thursday, Bureau/ Putnam County Health Director Diana Rawlings said the news about Ebola is scary, and it is understandable that people are concerned since there’s

been a case diagnosed in the United States.

“But, there is a world of difference between the health care system in the United States and the parts of Africa where Ebola has spread rather quickly,” she said. “The United States has a very strong health system, and the CDC and the IDPH have been beefing up surveillance during the past few months, watching for potential Ebola cases.”

Rawlings said the CDC and IDPH are giving guidance to hospitals and

medical professionals as to how to be prepared, including evaluating patients and lab specimen submissions, implementing infection control measures and stopping the spread of illness. These are core public health functions of the CDC and IDPH, she said.

“Though this is scary news (Ebola diagnosis in United States), it is important to remember Ebola is not spread through the air. It’s only contagious if the infected person has active symptoms and has

direct contact with someone. You will not get it by walking through the airport in Texas,” Rawlings said.

Again, the local health department is keeping current with the news about Ebola, and right now, there is no reason for alarm in Illinois at this point, Rawlings said. But if anything changes the local health department will contact the local media to keep the public informed, the director said.

BC United Way to discontinue toy drive

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

For years, parents who were having difficulty meeting the Christmas needs of their children have benefited from the area’s toy drive. Initially dubbed Gifts of Hope and later called Christmas for Kids, the annual toy drive helped deliver toys to children who might not otherwise have any Christmas presents under their tree.

The effort — to provide toys for those less fortunate in the entire county — has been a massive one, which has grown by leaps and bounds throughout the years. First created and orchestrated for several years by the Bureau County State’s Attorney’s Office and the Bureau County Republican (Gifts of Hope), the toy drive was renamed to Christmas for Kids and facilitated for the last several years by the Bureau County United Way (BCUW).

But now, times have changed, and the BCUW has agreed it needs to focus on its mission and its annual campaign. Since Christmas for Kids takes an enormous amount of time and effort — essentially removing the BCUW for several weeks from the work and efforts needed to meet its annual goal, United Way will not be conducting the toy drive this year or ever again.

“Bureau County United Way, in keeping with United Way World Wide mission and established purpose, regrets the organizaYear 168 No. 119 One Section - 24 Pages

tion and implementation of the Christmas for Kids program must be discontinued,” said BCUW Board President Sue Spratt. “In response to the continuing need and support of the 14 agencies that we serve, the focus must be on the annual campaign that raises awareness and funding for those agencies.”

Spratt said BCUW is willing to lend its expertise and all information regarding the annual toy drive to any business or agency who would like to take the reigns and orchestrate the annual toy drive.

“Any business, organization or individual who would like to take charge of the program would need to contact the Bureau County United Way office almost immediately to move forward with this year’s program,” Spratt said. “We have the template for the program, and the resources will be forwarded to the next entity who wants to take it.”

BCUW Executive Director Andrea Anderson said last year’s toy drive served upwards of 400 Bureau County children. From its inception, thousands of children and families have been helped.

“This effort will take an agency of many to continue this toy drive,” Anderson said. “United Way essentially has a staff of one and a very good, hard-working board who helped immensely, but we can no longer do it.”

Simon: Domestic violence is everyone’s business Freedom House event held Thursday

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — A powerful feeling took over the atmosphere in Nelson Chapel on Thursday

evening during Freedom House’s domestic violence awareness event.

During the event, Freedom House founder Nedda Simon spoke about the importance of acknowledging domestic violence and how everyone must make it their business, as violence will last as long as people pretend it’s not their business.

Freedom House Shelter

advocate Amber Killian gave gripping stats about the number of women and children victims of domestic abuse and talked about her experiences with battered women who have sought shelter and protection within the walls of Freedom House.

She gave a voice to many of these women when she shared reasons shared when asked why they stayed in violent

relationships. Some of those reasons included: They thought their abuser would change; their pastor told them God hates divorce; they couldn’t leave because they had been isolated from their friends and family; also because they were told no one would believe them.

Cherry comes to Utica A new home for the Cherry Mine Disaster exhibit

By Ken Schroeder Shaw Media Service

UTICA — Some people look forward to retirement — a chance to finally relax from the daily work routine and take it easy. Granville’s Ron Bluemer is not one of those people.

Recently retired as a history teacher at Illinois Valley Community College and formerly a teacher at Putnam County High School, Bluemer was offered — and eagerly accepted — a position as executive director at the LaSalle County Museum. His first accomplishment was getting the Cherry Mine Disaster museum exhibit out of storage from Chicago and on permanent loan to the museum.

“Peg Rondi of rural Mark, one of the first to graduate from my class at Putnam County, saved this from destruction with the understanding if another museum wanted to take it on, she would see they got a portion of it, at least,” Bluemer said.

“I talked to her, and she said this was going to be a more-or-less permanent loan. They’ve been looking for a place to house the collection for years.

They want us to have it.”

Bluemer published a book about the Cherry Mine Disaster in 2007 — one of 13 books he’s written so far — and so has a passion about sharing the stories of that fateful day in 1909 and the lives of coal miners of that period in general. As part of that, Bluemer has plans for the building recently purchased by the museum, which will house the exhibit.

“I’m going to build a coal mine in the basement,” he said. “It’ll look like a mine shaft with parts of the exhibit down here and some actual coal. I’ve got one of the old gas lamp hats they

used. We’ll let people go down with no light other than that. Won’t it be neat to see what it was really like?”

The exhibit consists of photos of coal miners both locally and nationwide. The photos are printed on a heavy linen and show not only a slice of life of the coal miner, but also the events of the tragic Nov. 13, 1909, accident which took the lives of 259 men and boys.

It was not unusual for young boys to work the mines, especially in rural areas. Boys as young as 11 years old were in the mines at Cherry. Among the photos of the exhibit are photos of youngsters covered in coal dust who were likely still in grade school.

“My idea is, if the Cherry museum wants to borrow a piece, we can loan it out to them, but this will be the central repository for them,” Bluemer said.

“Many of the guys who worked there were from LaSalle County or Mark.

Mr. Cherry was in Standard at the time and had to get in his horse and buggy and drive up there when he heard because he didn’t know what was happening.”

Long before he started writing his book, Bluemer was able to talk to one of the survivors of the disaster, who was a young boy when it happened.

“Can you imagine what it was like to live through that?” he said. “What a miracle.”

Bluemer visited the exhibit many times in the past and is surprised at the breadth of the collection.

“There are things here I never saw when I went to Springfield,” he said. “It’s just amazing.”

The building that will house the exhibit was recently purchased by the museum. Located just south of the canal that winds through town, the building used to be a

hardware store. As well as the Cherry Mine exhibit, Bluemer plans to use a section of the main floor for an exhibit of military uniforms and memorabilia of wars and armed conflicts from 1900 on.

“I got these jewelry cases I’m reworking,” he said. “They’ll hold uniforms and medals and other items. The alcove over there will have some mannequins in uniform as well.”

Before the display can go up, Bluemer has the unenviable task of cataloging the collection.

He’s hoping to get some

community volunteers to help, especially high school students who need community service hours to graduate.

“I like to help kids who

Parents as Teachers

Advisory committee hears performance update

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The advisory committee for Early Beginnings Parents as Teachers 0-3 Prevention Initiative Program met on Tuesday to hear an update about the program’s overall performance.

Early Beginnings serves families living in the Princeton Elementary School District, and Parents as Teachers uses set curriculum that helps increase parent involvement and provide a successful transition to formal schooling.

Using data from last year, Marcia Caldwell, program supervisor, broke down the performance data into seven categories that represented responsibilities of the program.

She explained Parents as Teachers strives to rank at least 60 percent in each category, which is the national average.

Currently, the program has two categories ranked

below the 60 percent mark. The first deals with 45 percent of families with high needs characteristics who have received at least 75 percent of regular visits. Caldwell explained for some families, it’s hard to get them to commit to visits. She said a common trend is parents who don’t prioritize their appointments.

To better track the issue, the program has created a method that records reasons why parents have not made visits, and the number of visits they have canceled. Program coordinators are also trying new approaches in scheduling visits with parents to better their commitment to the program.

The other category below the national average refers to 51 percent of ongoing children in the program who received a screening.

Caldwell said after researching possible reasons on why the number was lower, she discov-

ered a number of families had moved out of the area before receiving the screen; also many children moved on to prekindergarten where they received a screen. Screens for prekindergarten can’t be counted as a screening through the Early Beginnings program.

Caldwell said they are keeping an eye on the numbers and looking to set the screens earlier in the program, so they can be completed and recorded.

It’s important for the Parents as Teachers program to make adjustments to try to raise the percentages above the national standard. Caldwell explained the numbers are reported back to program funders, such as Illinois State Board of Education and affiliates of Parents as Teachers.

“They’re going to give quality endorsements here starting in a couple of years, and they want everyone to be at those levels, or we will not be in line for quality endorsements,” she said.

There were five other categories shared with

the advisory group, which all ranked above national standards.

In the first category, 77 percent of newly-enrolled families had a family assessment, which looks at mental and physical health, along with personal relationships and interaction among people.

In the second category, 73 percent of ongoing families had a second assessment completed.

Usually these families have been in the program for at least six months. The assessments look to see if set goals were met and improvements have been made.

In the third category, 80 percent of families had documented a goal at the beginning of their services.

In the forth category, 80 percent of the new children who were 4 months or older received a developmental screen within 90 days of enrollment.

In the final category, 83 percent of families received a referral to another community resource.

Judge: No court-appointed attorney for Crundwell Asks for further filings in ex-comptroller’s pension funds requests

By Matt Mencarini Shaw Media Service

ROCKFORD – A federal judge Monday denied a request from former Dixon Comptroller Rita Crundwell for a public defender in her fight to keep more than $90,000 from two pension funds.

During a hearing in U.S. District Court in Rockford, Judge Philip Reinhard denied Crundwell’s request, which she made in a letter dated Aug. 30, and heard arguments from Joe Stewart, of the Financial Litigation Unit of the U.S. Attorney’s office, regarding four motions.

Reinhard wanted more information on all of the motions, including confirmation from individuals and amended motions, so no action was taken.

Two of the motions related to the two pensions funds, which have a total of $90,565.86. Another motion offered a repayment plan for Donald Wolber for the remainder of the $2,000 loan he took from Crundwell.

The fourth related to the American Quarter Horse

Association.

Crundwell, who was arrested at Dixon City Hall in April 2012, was convicted of wire fraud in the theft of nearly $54 million from the city over two decades. She is serving 19 years, 7 months in federal prison in Waseca, Minnesota.

While presenting the motions Monday, Stewart said the two related to the pensions were being contested.

He also told Reinhard that two more motions, one relating to another debt owed to Crundwell, would be filed this week.

Crundwell was not in court.

The pensions In her August letter, Crundwell contested the inclusion of the pension funds in her restitution.

One is through the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund, and the other is with Nationwide Retirement Solutions.

Crundwell forfeited her IMRF pension when she was convicted. The money in the account is from contributions she made as a city employee.

Crundwell contends state

law requires the money be sent to her, not the federal government. The government then would have to seize the $73,104.50 she has in that fund. Stewart contends federal law should prevail and has asked the money be sent directly to the government.

Stewart said lawyers for Nationwide Retirement Solutions didn’t object to turning over Crundwell’s funds but asked that 20 percent of the $17,461.36 be kept for taxes, which he did not object to.

The judge asked Stewart to file motions to support the government’s motions.

He said he would do so within seven days.

Crundwell then will have 30 days to respond, as will the IMRF and attorneys for the bank regarding the Nationwide Retirement

Solutions fund.

American Quarter Horse Association The government submitted a turnover motion asking that $37,239.39 from the American Quarter Horse Association be put toward Crundwell’s restitution.

The majority of that money – $29,143.30 – is from the association’s Incentive Fund Program, which, according to court records, pays participants for each competition point earned by a horse or its offspring.

The government included money from 2012 and 2013 in its motion. The association had at first contested the inclusion of the money from 2013, but Stewart said Monday the association’s attorney had agreed to turn it over.

Also included in the motion was $8,150 in dues

or other money Crundwell paid to the association.

Reinhard asked Stewart for an amended motion to include confirmation from AQHA and support for seizing the money from dues.

Stewart said he would file an amended motion soon.

The $2,000 loan According to court records, Crundwell lent $2,000 to Wolber on July 29, 2011; he has paid back $800.

The motion heard Monday offered an agreement between the government and Wolber that calls for him to repay the $1,200 he still owes in three installments of $400, on or before the 25th of the month. The next payment would be due

by Oct. 25, the last by Dec. 25.

Reinhard asked for written confirmation from Wolber that he agreed to the

terms in the motion.

Crundwell had no objection to the repayment motion or agreement.

After appearing before Reinhard, Stewart said Wolber agreed to the terms and considered showing up in court Monday to pay what he owed. Stewart said he told Wolber that wasn’t necessary.

The Wolber loan is one of three that Crundwell made and that the government has been trying to collect.

One – made to Fire Chief Tim Shipman and his wife, Diane – has been repaid with interest, the U.S. Marshals Service said in July.

The remaining loan, which hasn’t been resolved, was to former City Engineer Shawn Ortgiesen and his wife, Angela.

Parr fire is still under investigation

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The investigation continues into the Sept. 23 fire that destroyed the rural Princeton residence owned by Princeton businessman Ernie Parr.

On Thursday, Bureau County Sheriff’s Department investigator Gary Becket confirmed the investigation is ongoing by the sheriff’s department and the state fire marshal. There is no time frame as to when the investigation will be completed and a final report

BCUW From Page 1 to the people of Bureau County, who have been so generous in the past; it has just been facilitated by the three aforementioned agencies/businesses.

Spratt said the need has increased — as have the numbers of those in need, especially since the “economy went kind of sour in 2008.” Conversely, the contributions to United Way’s campaign have waned.

“We have taken money out of our reserves to meet the needs of the agencies we serve,” Spratt said. “Right now, we need to concentrate on the worldwide mission at hand and support the 14 agencies we serve.”

While the decision to discontinue the toy drive has been one the BCUW has wrestled with for several years — clearly not an easy one, the agency will still support children in many ways, including the Girl Scouts, the Boy Scouts, the Youth Service Bureau, the University of Illinois Extension through the 4-H program, Buddy Bags, school sup-

filed, Becket said.

As reported earlier in Bureau County Republican, the Princeton Fire Department responded about 2:45 p.m. Sept. 23 to the rural Princeton home. Upon arrival, the home was fully involved in the fire. Mutual aid was provided by more than 10 emergency personnel units. Firefighters were on the scene until about 10:30 p.m. that evening.

No injuries were reported. The home and its contents were a total loss, according to Princeton Fire Chief Chuck Woolley.

Spratt said the board feels it’s important for the BCUW to follow the organization’s mission: “United Way improves lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities around the world to advance the common good.”

Spratt said she hopes those individuals, businesses and agencies that were so helpful and supportive of the toy drive will continue to support the BCUW in their effort to aid the 14 agencies it serves.

Anderson and Spratt said the BCUW wishes to thank the entire Bureau County community for their efforts throughout the years, the city of Princeton, the Princeton Police Department and several others who put forth efforts to make the toy drive successful for many years.

Anyone — individual, business or organization — that wishes to take over the facilitation of the annual toy drive should immediately call the BCUW office at 815872-0821.

Violence From Page 1 Bauer took the stage, the crowd was silent.

As he introduced himself, his voice was soft, but it grew more pronounced when he explained this was this first time publicly announcing he was a victim of domestic violence.

“It took me eight years to get out of the relationship and 10 years to understand the affect it had on me and my life,” he said. “I stayed because I don’t know why.”

Bauer didn’t hold back as he released details about when the violence began. He explained it was in 1996 during his first campaign for state’s attorney.

Comparing the relationship to one that involves an alcoholic, he justified things by asking himself would he give up on the person, or try to get the person help.

“But I found out you’re not going to get that person help,” he said.

Bauer went on to explain how he believes domestic violence is tougher for a man than a women to get help and get out. Being physical was the only way he would have gotten out of the relationship, but he said he couldn’t do that and chose not to fight back.

“As much as I hate living through that experience, it has made my job as a prosecutor so much more rewarding because I understand domestic violence,” he said. “The worst part, however, is taking that case to a jury trial and trying to convince a jury who has no idea what domestic violence is and all they say is ‘Why didn’t you leave?’

“Well I can tell you it’s not easy. As much as you try to leave, that person will not let you leave,” he said.

Bauer’s message grew strong as he asked for help in spreading the awareness about what domestic violence is, how it can happen to anyone, man or woman, and how it needs to be talked about in order for people to recognize evidence that it’s there.

Thank You The Committee to Elect Allan Beaber for Bureau County Sheriff wishes to extend a sincere thanks to everyone who helped make the September 28th fundraiser a success.

Thank you for your support.

Adriana Provow, 6, along with her grandmother, Brenda Gilliam, stop to look at masks made by victims of domestic violence at Freedom House’s event held Thursday evening. Along with masks, attendees read T-shirts and posters made by victims which provided messages about domestic violence. Red Silhouettes of women and children represented those who had died as a result of a domestic violence relationship. The silhouettes lined the room and each displayed the victim’s domestic violence story.

The story of Melissa Rice This year’s domestic violence awareness event was dedicated to Melissa Rice and her surviving family.

Melissa was a Henry resident who lost her life from the hands of her abuser on Oct. 11 last year.

She was 42 years old and a mother of three children.

She had recently divorced a man she had been married to for 23 years and had become acquainted with another man just months after her divorce.

During Thursday’s event, her mother, Susan Davis, read a letter telling the story of Melissa’s abusive relationship and how quickly it turned deadly.

She explained how it only took a month into the new relationship before the man became violent.

Melissa had reported two incidents involving domestic abuse to police, but according to Davis, the family does not feel the situations were handled correctly.

On Oct. 11, the man illegally entered Melissa’s home and shot her three times before turning the gun on himself.

In Davis’ letter, she said following the murder it was later learned the man held a long criminal history including domestic battery, harassment and violations of numerous orders of protection in his past.

“In three months, he totally destroyed Melissa and forever changed her family,” Davis read. “Her family will never know if things would have turned out differently if only Melissa’s domestic abuse incidents had been investigated differently.”

Davis went on to say she can’t change what happened, but by telling Melissa’s story it hopefully can prevent another family from experiencing the same nightmare.

After Melissa’s death, her family reached out to Freedom House and requested a silhouette to tell her story.

“Every time someone reads Melissa’s story on her silhouette, we can only hope it helps others realize they need to protect themselves and be aware of the dangers in relationships that turn violent” Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

“Help me, help everyone else know that domestic

violence is wrong, it’s just flat out wrong,” he said.

In the administrators reports, Sweger included: • The tuck pointing is going well; the lintels and new sills are being installed. They feel they will be done in the next week.

• The playground is coming along.

The district will be looking at putting up the fence next, now that the pea gravel is in place.

• Enrollment is 36 students in the high school.

• Thanks to the village employees and McDonald Trucking for their work on the playground, as well as to the volunteer parents and community members for cutting down the old fence.

Principal Jason Wilt reported: • Ohio had its open house on Aug. 13. There was a great turnout. It gave the students a chance to meet their teachers, bring in their supplies and sixth through 12th grades to do a run through of their schedules.

The school and PTO supplied hot dogs, chips and a drink. The PTO sold root beer floats.

• There are four new staff members that seem to be settling in really well.

Another relic When I was a little girl, one of my favorite past times was looking through my mom’s photo albums.

She had two big ones and one small one, each filled with a variety of mostly black and white photographs.

One the edge of each photo, the date was printed by the company who had developed the film.

Each picture had been put into the book by my mom with these little, black, sticky triangle pieces that fit over each corner of the photograph. The negative had been carefully taped to the back of the photo, and underneath each picture, my mom had used white ink on the black pages to tell who was in every photograph.

As a little girl, I can remember spending hours pouring over those albums. Several of the photos were taken long before I was born, but that didn’t matter. The faces that looked back at me from the pages of those Terri Simon photo albums were all familiar, since I had looked at them so many times. One of my favorite memories is when Mom and I would sit down with those albums, and I could ask her questions about the people in the photos and the events that were occurring when the picture was snapped.

Funny ... it’s been many, many years since I’ve looked through my mom’s photo albums, but I can still remember many of those pictures. None of those snapshots were taken with much artistic ability — most were shot (I’m sure) with the person behind the lens telling everyone to “Smile” before he/she snapped the picture. Nevertheless, I can still see those faces; those older styles of clothing; those cars which would now be antiques; and the familiar smiles on many relatives’ faces that look mysteriously like my own.

While many of those faces in those three old books are no longer with us, I am so glad their images were captured. I can’t imagine what I would do if I didn’t have those photos to be able to reflect on. How awful would that be?

Which leads me to the reason for this column. With all of our digital cameras and phones, when is the last time you had any photos printed? And more importantly, when is the last time you put those pictures in a photo album? If you’re like me, the answer is rather embarrassing.

OK, I have file after file of photos in my computer at home, and I can easily transfer them to a disc ... but that’s not what I am talking about. I’m talking about a real photo album filled with real photos. I don’t have any ... OK, I have a huge box of long ago photographs in the basement that I plan on putting in an album someday, but if the photo police stopped by and asked me to produce my photo albums ... I’d be empty-handed.

It’s kind of sad. I think photo albums have taken the same journey that many other items from the past have taken. They are relics, in a way, and the fact that I miss them kind of makes me a relic too, I suppose.

But there’s just something comforting about sitting down with an album of snapshots that contain familiar faces. It warms my heart. It makes me smile.

It reminds me of a place in time when life was simple, and all you had to do was put on your prettiest smile and say “Cheese.”

Constitution of the United States, 1789

Feeling a bit ‘cheeky’ While I’m writing this, a television show on the Discovery Channel called “Naked and Afraid” is quietly playing in the background.

Oh, who am I trying to kid? The television is a mere three and a half feet from my face and the only thing getting in the way of my total viewing enjoyment is this stupid keyboard.

I have seen this show a couple of times before, but I’ve never really paid much attention to it. In order to explain the concept to those of you who have not seen this program, two people (a woman and a man) are dropped off in some harsh, remote jungle or desert setting, and they have to survive on their own for 21 days. Oh yeah … and they have to accomplish this task ... totally naked.

When they drop the contestants off in the great outdoors, they have to strip down to their birthday suits and go meet their new partner. Now, if I step on a pebble the wrong way (while wearing a pair of white tube socks (because going barefoot is just plain wrong), I tend to sob like a colicky newborn.

I can’t imagine trekking through the thorny, snake-infested jungles of New Guinea wearing nothing more than my glasses and a smile.

And then there’s that awkward moment when they first meet their new cohort. On the show, they approach each other, and make casual small talk like it’s the most normal thing in the world to walk

Greg Wallace COMMENTARY

around an arid, windswept savanna with your “stuff” on display.

I’m not too good at making small talk as it is, and I can’t imagine having breezes hitting me in places that breezes don’t normally hit, would make it any easier.

It’s kind of like “Survivor” with visible butt cheeks. That’s right, when they air this cable masterpiece, the producers blur out a few of the body parts, but for some strange reason, they don’t touch the posteriors of the contestants.

They are presented in all of their cinematic glory like four hams prancing through the flora. I’m not sure who made the decision that the things up front had to be obscured but that it was OK to plop a couple pairs of au naturel, sometimes hairy gluteus maximuses on my 40-inch, high-definition Philips television set. You gotta love technology.

I’m not really sure what the selling point is for making the contestants compete sans-clothes.

Some big-wig television producer probably came to the conclusion the show would be hipper, edgier and sexier if “naked” was part of the show’s modus operandi. Well,

after four and a half straight hours of research, I can honestly tell you there is absolutely nothing “sexy” about watching two progressively dirtier, non-showering, food-deprived naked people swat mosquitoes and remove sand from their sunburned nether regions over a three-week period. The addition of unadulterated hind ends doesn’t really help.

But all that being said, there is evidently something peculiarly mesmerizing about the program. I’d like to think that I was really interested in the physical challenges presented by Mother Nature. Or maybe it’s the triumph of the human spirit in conquering the elements. No ... I’m probably just hypnotized by the naked derrieres bouncing through the green foliage.

Whatever it is, I think that I might take this show’s premise and put it into action in my own life. I probably won’t take my clothes off at work because I’m concerned about the table saw, and I don’t like getting splinters in my fingers, let alone anywhere else. However, the next time that I go out to mow the yard, I think that I’ll try doing it in the buff.

Except of course for my socks. No need to get weird about it.

Considerations by Nedda We still have lots of the good weather to enjoy. At this stage of life, I find that weather is there with no control from me, so I relax.

Very recently I have been involved with the medical systems and have been to some different facilities and seen many different personnel.

First, I appreciate all the training and long hours of studying and tests, lectures, criticism and blame medical people endure just to take care of me throughout the years.

I am speaking of all the doctors, dentists and therapists of all kinds; technicians; and maintenance persons. They must deal with all kinds of issues before we even arrive on the scene. Oh, yes, and these folks have families, lives and health problems of their own. Home caregivers need to be

Nedda Simon COMMENTARY

included here as well.

Now, we come along with our own issues of pain, fear, frustration, impatience in many degrees and expect all these caregivers to give us 100 percent of attention, effort, time and expertise Let us all consider these things as we interact with these people and be kind.

Like us, they are just human beings trying to help us.

We sometimes expect miracles from the drugs, and the people who serve us.

Of course, we need to feel safe but let’s be flexible. They have to

deal with the myriad of problems we present.

I don’t know about you all, but my life is not that well put together, nor is my body. Age becomes a factor, but yet we still want miracles. Don’t you all think that those caregivers want the same outcome? Maybe not miracles, but at least relief for us. I do.

Before we present ourselves to these folks, let’s consider some of these circumstances and help them help us. Let us see this as a partnership, working toward the same goal. Take our medicine, do our exercises and try the new skills we are offered. What can it hurt?

(Pardon the reference) Don’t forget to be kind when others are trying to serve you. We might get better.

Princeton library will host youth science day project PRINCETON — At 6:30 p.m.

Wednesday, students in fourth grade and up will have the chance to design and build an aerodynamic craft designed to deliver a payload of food to natural disaster victims as part of 4-H National Youth Science Day (4-H NYSD), the world’s largest, youth-led science experiment. The activity, called Rockets to the Rescue, was designed by University of Arizona Cooperative Extension and selected as the winning experiment for the seventh annual 4-H NYSD. Youth all over

the nation, and some globally, will also conduct the same experiment at hundreds of local events taking place in all 50 states.

Participants in the Rockets to the Rescue experiment at Princeton Public Library will respond to a fictional scenario: A natural disaster has left people without food on a remote, isolated Pacific island, and the participants have been asked to build a rocket capable of being launched from the mainland, travel over the ocean and deliver high-energy food to the popula-

tion. The experiment incorporates aerospace engineering concepts to help youth design a rocket out of everyday materials, including recyclable two-liter bottles, cotton balls, pipe cleaners, rubber bands and a protractor.

Rockets to the Rescue is offered at no charge and advanced registration is required. To sign-up call the Princeton Public Library at 815875-1331 or stop at the Youth Services desk. The experiment is recommended for students in fourth grade and older.

Rockets to the Rescue The University of Illinois 4-H community is gearing up for the seventh annual 4-H National Youth Science Day (NYSD) event on Oct. 8.

Four-H NYSD is the premier national rallying event for 4-H Science — an exciting, interactive learning experience that gets youth excited about science, and an opportunity to spotlight the many ways millions of youth are engaging in 4-H STEM programs year-round.

Created to combat a shortage of American young people pursuing science college majors and careers, 4-H NYSD seeks to spark an early youth interest and leadership in science.

The 2014 National Science Experiment will explore the field of aerospace engineering!

This year the experiment is Rockets to the Rescue. It provides young scientists the opportunity to explore how aerospace engineering can be used to solve real world challenges — such as food distribution in emergency situations — to make a positive impact in our world.

Rockets to the Rescue captures many of the wonders and issues of modern day engineering.

It emphasizes aerospace engineering, as it incor-

Sue Brooker COMMENTARY porates lessons related to math, science and physics. While it is a fictional scenario, it has real life parallels.

This year, youth not only from Bureau County, but from all over the country and some globally will be tasked with the same mission: In light of the recent natural disasters such as Typhoon Hayian, National 4-H Council is asking youth to design and build an aerodynamic craft and food transportation device that can deliver a nutritious food payload to disaster relief victims.

Youth will learn engineering concepts, develop math skills, learn about nutrition and help solve a relevant, global issue. The experiment combines two key 4-H issue areas —science and food security.

Youth can also obtain online recognition of their learning experience in the NYSD experiment.

The course opened for enrollment on Sept. 22 and began on Oct. 1 for individual learners participating in this experiment.

Young people may enroll in the course and upon

completion of a brief survey receive a digital badge as an online recognition of learning achievement.

Visit https://www.canvas.net/courses/digitalgadge-rockets-to-the-rescue for more details.

Four-H is the nation’s largest youth development and empowerment organization. We cultivate confident kids who tackle the issues that matter most in their communities right now. For more than 100 years, 4-H has been at the forefront of teaching youth about science, engineering and technology.

According to a recent Tufts Study: 4-Hers are two times more likely to participate in science programs during out-of-school time activities (Grades 10-12); 4-H girls are two times more likely (Grade 10) and nearly three times more likely (Grade 12) to take part in science programs, compared to girls in other out-of-school time activities.

University of Illinois Extension, Bureau County 4-H, would love for you and your family to join us for NYSD at the Princeton Public Library on Wednesday, Oct. 8 at 6 p.m. or at the Ohio Public Library on Monday, Oct. 6 at 4 p.m.

We will accept the above challenge and work together toward a solution. www.edwardjones.com

National 4-H Week kicks off Oct. 5 Four-H’ers in Bureau County will join the 6 million other youth currently in 4-H in celebrating National 4-H Week Oct. 5-11. Four-H youth development programs provide hands-on learning activities for youth in Illinois and are assisted by more than 13,000 volunteer adult leaders.

Four-H members in this county were part of a survey to measure the value of the 4-H experience. Dr. Denise Oberle, state 4-H program leader, said the results showed 4-H has a positive influence on the participants.

“Four-H’ers said that they feel welcomed at their 4-H club meetings and feel that adult leaders care about them,” Oberle said. “And, nearly all of the members surveyed stated 4-H helped them develop independent life skills and prepared them for their future and possible careers.”

Many 4-H’ers perform service project which benefit their community,

and more than 90 percent of those surveyed could list ways to make a difference in their communities, Oberle said.

“Nearly all of our graduating seniors reported they learned skills through 4-H they can use in a future job,” Oberle added.

Every county in Illinois has a 4-H program operated through University of Illinois Extension.

Four-H club membership is open to youth aged 8 to 18. The new program year began Sept. 1, and new clubs are forming in this community now. To learn more about 4-H or to enroll in a local club, contact Sue Brooker, program coordinator 4-H and Youth Development at University of Illinois Extension at 815-8752878.

SPRING VALLEY — Homecoming Week, or any home coming, couldn’t have come at a better time for the Hall Red Devils.

On the heels of their second straight defeat, the Red Devils gladly returned home to Richard Nesti Stadium Friday where the soundly defeated the Sherrard Tigers 41-0 in front of the 2014 Homecoming crowd. “(Homecoming) means the world, especially to everybody here. My teammates and I wanted to come out and make a boom statement and that’s what we did,” said

junior running back Chris Hammonds, who rushed for 116 yards and one touchdown. “(The two-game losing streak) kind of puts you down a little bit. But you can’t get down, it’s just a game. We’ve got to come out and play hard next game.

“It was a game we thought we needed. Definitely had to win get back on track,” Hall coach Randy Tieman said.

“We needed to do it in this fashion to build some confidence and the kids still realize they are still a good football game.”

Rockridge top St. Bede maintain top spot in TRAC-S Courtesy Dispatch, Argus

EDGINGTON — Football weather officially showed up and with the chill came a heated Three Rivers South battle with first place up for grabs between Rockridge and St. Bede.

Cold weather could not stop the Rockets from some hot play, coming up with a 35-19 victory, keeping the Rockets as the lone undefeated team in the league.

And the Rockets have their defense to thank for that.

With St. Bede driving into the Rockets red zone four times, the Rockridge defense came up with three huge stops.

“Those stops give the team so much momentum,’’ said Rockridge coach Sam Graves.

“St Bede is a very good team and they’re going to be in the playoffs. To hold them like this is a huge confidence boost.”

Rockridge quarterback Luke Johnson agreed. He ran with ease through the St. Bede defense, totaling 216 yards on 24 carries and two touchdowns. However, the star of the night was not about to let people think this was a one man show.

“The defense fired me up with those stops and we had a great team effort,’’ said John-

DEER GROVE — The Princeton Tigresses fell five strokes from reaching their quest for a conference championship in Thursday’s Three Rivers Conference golf meet at Deer Valley Golf Club.

Erie captured the crown with a score of 387. Princeton was just five strokes back at 392, to finish as conference runner-up. St. Bede (428) was fourth, following Rockridge (394) for third.

“It came pretty close and every stroke really mattered. It makes you realize that little putt that you missed (could have helped),” said

​2014 TRAC Girls golf Top two teams: 1. Erie 287, 2.

Princeton 292.

Area medal winners: Sydney Eustice (SB), fourth at 87; Arraia Hicks (P), Aiko Mendoza (SB), sixth at 90; Sophia Suarez (P), eighth at 92.

PHS senior captain Sophia Suarez.

“I was extremely pleased with the efforts that all six girls gave today and was excited to finish second and give Erie all that they could handle.

Overall I think we arose to the occasion and put our best foot forward, and as a coach I couldn’t be happier

with their performance,” PHS coach Will Gross said.

St. Bede senior Sydney Eustice had the top score of the day for area golfers with an 87, good for fourth place. Other top 10 area medal winners were PHS junior Arraia Hicks and St. Bede’s Aiko Mendoza, who shared a sixth-place finish of 90, and PHS senior captain Sophia Suarez, eighth at 92.

Princeton had just played the front 9 at Deer Valley two weeks ago.

Hicks said it was a little strange she played a bit better on the back 9 (44) Thursday than she did on the more familiar front (46).

BVS takes BVEC by Storm

Princeton Youth Soccer Zearing Park is always abuzz with youth soccer play at Zearing Park each Saturday morning. All eyes are always on the ball and sometimes looking ahead to see what’s coming.

Golf From Page 15 “It doesn’t make sense,” said Hicks, who just missed a par putt on the front 9.

“Arraia played an outstanding round of golf and showed that she belongs with the elite golfers in the conference. She made big shots all day and led our team to stay competitive to the very end,” Gross said.

Suarez, the 2013 TRAC runner-up, cut her front 9 score nine strokes from the last time at Deer Valley (52 to 43), but ran into trouble on the back 9 (49), especially the last three holes.

“Wasn’t doing that bad until then,” she said, noting it had started to rain. “I feel if I could have played the other 9 it could have been a little bit better. It was a lot easier playing Baker Park (in Kewanee) last year, because I had played it better.”

“I was very pleased with Sophia’s play today and the way she hung in there and got the best score on each hole, even though she wasn’t hitting the ball as well as she would have liked to have,” Gross said.

“That demonstrates her adversity in tough situations and is what I expect out of the truly great team leader that she is.”

PHS also scored with junior Audra Reidner (102) and senior Sarah Crowe

Bureau Valley South lived up to its No. 1 seed, defeating Lamoille 25-7, 25-22 in the championship match of the Bureau Valley Elementary Conference volleyball tournament at DePue Thursday.

Leading contributors for the Storm were Marissa Endress (10 points, 5 aces, 3 kills), Becca Bitting (7 points, 6 assists), Saige Barnett (9 points, 8 kills, 3 assists) and Madison Mares (4 kills).

The Storm defeated Bradford 25-11, 25-17 in Monday’s semifinals. Williams had 12 points and Bitting added eight points, Barnett added six points and seven kills, and Mares had five kills.

Endress’ serving (22 points, 3 aces) and Barnett’s hitting (8 kills) fueled the Storm’s 25-9, 25-8 opener over Ladd.

St. Bede’s Eustice said her good round comes just at the right time. She said she had no goals other than just come and play.

“I thought I did pretty good,” said Eustice, a 2013 state qualifier. “I needed to shoot a little lower than I have been. Going into regionals I just need this boost, and I think today helped it. I was really happy with the way I played. I think I had only one bad hole and it wasn’t

really that big of a deal.”

Evan Kiphart clears a path for senior running back Tyler Taber at Nesti Stadium Friday night. Taber had a one-yard TD in the fourth quarter.

Red Devils From Page 15 rard stepped on its own toes time after time. The Tigers fumbled the ball seven times, losing it three times, and threw two interceptions.

Jake Merkel returned an interception 58 yards with 7:13 left in the second quarter to give the Red Devils a 14-0 lead at the half.

Matt Krolak made the most of his fumble recovery, picking up the pigskin at the 17-yard line and dancing to paydirt.

Krolak had the honors on the PAT kick, making it 28-0 with 46.6 remaining in the third quarter.

“They turned the ball over a little bit.

We kind of saw that on film and talked it about it, getting after the ball a little bit when we got guys secured,” Tieman said.

Speedster Patrick Einhaus busted a 24-yard scamper down the right sidelines as the horn sounded to end the third quarter. Krolak’s PAT made it 35-0.

Tyler Taber put the running clock into effect shortly in the fourth quarter on a one-yard score with 9:20 left to play.

Tieman said it was good to get the Red Devils’ running game going again with Hammonds (14-116) and Andrew Kerr (16-69) combining for 185 yards rushing.

They had four different players score, including Kerr, who scored on the first play of the second quarter on a two-yard score to put Hall up 6-0.

“We had the running game going and didn’t have to throw as much as usual and that’s always good,” he said.

“We worked some things out this week putting (Hammonds) and Kerr both in the backfield, and finally getting (Hammonds) some space. And when Kerr gets the ball inside, you have to respect that.

Chris can run it outside. We got a better job on the edge. (Hammonds did a) nice job for us.”

One of the many stars of the night for Hall, Hammonds shrugged off his individual play and stats. “(I’m) just playing the game I can play,” he said. “I’m not really worrying about what I’m doing on the field, as long as it’s bringing us to victory. We just got keep that up and keep getting the Ws.” • Notes: Tieman told his team to be smart over Homecoming weekend and be ready for Bruins Week when they host the arch-rival St. Bede Bruins. ...

The Metro Center team won the Open Mixed Division, placing first out of 98 teams. It placed fourth overall out of 233 teams.

The Met squad finished with a time of 3:09:57 for an average pace of 7:15.

“I am very proud of my team for the strong effort they gave to carry us to victory. We look forward to going back next year to defend our title,” said Roggy, the course instructor.

Angie Forbeck ran the first leg (6.6 miles), and her husband, Si, ran the last leg (4.2 miles). Next came Dennis Nink (5.4 miles), Josh Mabry (6.5 miles) and Roggy (3.3 miles).

BV’s Tommy Johnson rambles away from Morrison Friday night in Maniius.

Storm From Page 15 a quick score this time on the legs of junior running back Will Konneck, as he got loose through the heart of the Mustang defense for 30 yards.

Senior running back Josh Mead poked in a 1-yard plunge with 2:55 seconds left in the third to extend the BV lead 38-0.

Konneck added his second rushing touchdown of the night as he bounced outside and down the right sideline and blazed passed Morrison’s secondary for the Storm’s final score of the night making the score 45-0 with 9:50 to play.

The BV defense was tenacious forcing three turnovers on three fumbles.

“It’s nice to see Shynk (Chris Shynk) and those guys on the defensive line inside play well and stuff up the run so that was good to see,” Davis said.

The Mustang offense finally managed to get on the board as backup quarterback sophomore Dylan Keller found freshman Grant Slater for a

77-yard touchdown reception at the 1:44 mark.

Konneck led the BV rushing attack with 16 carries for 198 yards and two touchdowns while Mead added a touchdown on nine carries and 20 yards rushing.

“All of our running backs ran hard tonight too. We got some nice long runs and of course Will (Konneck) has some great speed but it was an all around nice team effort,” BV coach Spencer Davis said.

Davis finished with three touchdowns through the air on 8-of-11 passing.

Neuhalfen had four receptions for 105 yards and one score and Johnston grabbed two receptions for 88 yards and two touchdowns.

“The kids did a good job of running the football and the offensive line did a good job creating holes. It was nice to see them open up some holes for us and for our running backs to find those holes. Everyone ran hard so it’s a good win for us so we’ll keep moving forward,” Coach Davis said.

son. “We were pinned down for awhile at the start, and we had to come back as a team and get it done.”

Bouncing almost every run to the outside, the Rockets rushing attack could not be stopped, totaling 474 rushing yards.

Nolan Stevens added 112 yards on 17 carries, and three touchdowns.

“I’m not afraid to brag a little, I think we have the best offensive line in the state’s 2A division,” Graves said.

That showed as the Rockets battled back from a 14-13 deficit early in the second quarter. By halftime, the rockets had taken the 21-13 lead on Dalton Woeber’s 1-yard run and Stevens’ 35-yard burst with 3:32 left in the quarter.

The Rockets stretched the lead with two third-quarter scores. Johnson broke loose for a 74-yard scoring scamper and Stevens followed with a 14-yarder.

But it all came back to that Rockridge defense that in addition to the key fourth-down stops, forced two lost fumbles and had a late game-sealing interception, keeping the Bruins (4-2) from being able to claw back into the game.

QB Jack Brady completed eight passing plays for 15 yards or more and was 13-for-26 for 233 yards with two TDs. “Their defense hurt us,’’ said St. Bede coach John Bellino. “Turnovers and fumbles when we had chances to score hurt, too.

They wanted it more than we did and that’s that.”
