Looking at the bigger picture

IVAC readjusts its focus

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Illinois Valley Chamber of Commerce (IVAC) is adjusting its focus and beginning to see the bigger picture.

As they continue to work as a chamber and assist their member cities, they are also building a new regional footprint to better market the Illinois Valley region as a whole.

In doing this, they hope to attract big businesses and manufacturers to the area, which will bring jobs

for people and benefit cities within the footprint region — Bureau, Putnam and LaSalle counties.

Scott Starvrakas, president of the IVAC Board, recently met with the Spring Valley Council to discuss this new direction.

“This region has so many resources, so much going for it and great people working for it. Yet we were frustrated with how the region has allowed everything to get down to such a micro-level,” he explained.

Starvrakas pointed out how individual cities are always putting on their own events, but no one has yet thought to pull together the whole area as a region.

“When you look at how cities and regions are

marketed today, it’s no longer the individual cities making a presentation with big corporations,” Starvrakas said. “They are looking at areas and every area around us is represented by a key economic development organization. If we keep trying to do this as individual cities, we’re just not going to get where we should be.”

Debb Ladgenski, Spring Valley economic director, explained the difficulty in marketing individual communities with the amount of funding each city has today; so by pooling resources to help better market the whole region, it will give this area a better chance for industries to see what’s all available here.

Hall Township Food Pantry focuses on fall food drive

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — The Hall Township Food Pantry is in need of more food, from A to Z. Hall Township Food Pantry Director Jan Martin announced its first A to Z Food Challenge, as a new twist to its annual fall food drive for the Spring Valley-based food pantry.

“I receive calls from our giving community nearly every day asking about pantry needs,” Martin said. “People like to know specifics. Truth be told, we need the same items you put in your grocery cart each week. Families struggling to put food on their tables are in need of a variety of items – everything from A-Z!” With that need in mind, people are asked to select products for the food pantry that begin with the initials of the person’s first or last name, or even both. The A to Z challenge will run until the end of the month.

Martin said the A to Z food collection will definitely make a difference to neighbors in need. Food pantries are seeing an increasing number of senior citizens, and the onset of cold weather will cause a decline in those physically able to come to the food pantries for their necessary food supplement, she said.

Because of the coming colder weather, the Hall Township

Farming the Tech Park

By D onna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton City Council is considering leasing 20 acres in the Princeton Technology Park to Princeton High School for its Future Farmers of America (FFA) program.

At this week’s meeting, the council learned the Princeton High School FFA has contacted Mayor Keith Cain about the possible use of the technology park farmland for test plots for the FFA students and program. The lease agreement would be a way for the city to encourage

young people in the area of agriculture, Cain said.

Commissioner Joel Quiram expressed his support of the proposed lease agreement, saying he likes the idea of the city partnering with the school district. Commissioner Bob Warren also expressed his support of the agreement, calling it a worthy project. After receiving favorable consensus from the council, the council is expected to approve a formal lease agreement at a future meeting for approval, pending approval by the high school.

On Thursday, Princeton City Manager

Jeff Clawson said the proposed structure of the lease would require the FFA to cover all expenses to put in the crop, and then when the crop is harvested and sold, it would be a 50/50 split of the revenue.

The contract goes on to say that assuming the FFA meets all their requirements, the city would issue a donation back to the FFA program from the 50 percent proceeds the city received from them. The city would likely donate all funds paid to the city for its 50 percent share, unless the city had some type of expenses for the

Bureau Valley North to ‘Make A Difference’ Students want to ‘Pass It Along’

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

WALNUT — Students and staff at Bureau Valley North (BVN) Elementary and Junior High School in Walnut are wanting to “Make A Difference.”

The BVN students and staff are participating in the national Make A Difference project in which people donate their time on a specific day to make their communities a better place, BVN social worker and project sponsor Vicki Bailey said Thursday. For its project, BVN will collect items for the Pass It Along resale store in downtown Walnut.

BVN will begin its collection on Monday to gather items for the Pass It Along store, with a delivery to the store set for Oct. 24. Also on that date, BVN students will deliver posters to area businesses highlighting the school’s slogan of “Taking the World by Storm.”

The Pass It Along store was chosen for the local Make A Difference project because of its own positive impact in the community, Bailey said. Not only does the store provide shoppers with a variety of household items, clothing, crafts and other things at reduced prices, but store owner Kirsten Johnston also uses some of the proceeds from her store

Bureau Valley North students (from left) Carter Braddy, Zane Rios and Emily Fordham pose in front of their school with a sample of items which will hopefully be collected in the school’s Make A Difference project. The BVN students and staff are collecting good used items to be donated to the Pass It Along resale shop in Walnut. The students and staff are asking the support of the community in the collection. to award scholarships to graduating Bureau Valley High School seniors.

BVN Student Council President and eighth-grader Emily Fordham, fifth-grader Zane Rios and first-grader Carter Braddy are among the students participating in the collection.

For his part, Carter said he’s got some good toys that he doesn’t play with any more, including a hand puppet which he has now outgrown.

Emily said she will go through her closet to see

what clothes could be donated. Plus, she should have some books to give.

It’s important to keep a store like Pass it Along in business and to have a place in town where people can give their items rather than just throw them away, she said.

Zane is working on making a blanket out of old shirts to put in the collection box, and he’s also looking at other items to donate like a bowling ball bag. It’s important for the school to do this collection for the Pass It

Along store because people shouldn’t just throw things away. It’s important to realize you could have things that other people can use, he said.

For her part, Bailey said she’s got books, clothes and possibly some purses on her list to donate.

The entire BVN community is invited to bring items to the school for the collection, or to drop off items at the collection box at the Pass It Along store, Bailey said.

Princeton Park District moves forward with bond process

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

From the view of the grave Area residents meet Thursday evening at the Forest Hill Cemetery in Wyanet to take a walk through the cemetery and learn about some of the people buried there. The Raymond A. Sapp Memorial Township Library Board of Directors has sponsored the cemetery walk each October, with this year’s fifth annual walk featuring the history of the Sapp family, a Civil War veteran and a former slave.

IVCC-LPO Hall of Fame ceremony is set for Nov. 8 OGLESBY — Five individuals and a team will be honored at 6 p.m. Nov. 8 in the eighth annual IVCC-LPO Hall of Fame induction ceremony in LaSalle-Peru High School’s historic Matthiessen Auditorium.

Peter Miller Jr. and his son, Peter Miller III, will be inducted posthumously as will Joe Mikyska, long-time Illinois Valley Community College political science instructor and Peru alderman, who died in May 2011.

State Rep. Frank Mautino (D-Spring Valley), a 1982 IVCC alumnus, and Lincoln Frost of Princeton, former 31-year part-time IVCC mathematics instructor, will also be inducted along with members of the 1976 IVCC football team.

In the mid-1960s, as publisher of the News Tribune and owner of LaSalle County Broadcasting Corp., Peter Miller Jr. lent crucial backing to the campaign that gained overwhelming voter support for construction of the college at its current location.

Peter III, who died in 2011, was the progressive leader of Miller Group Media and a renowned philanthropist. In November 2011, Miller Group Charitable Trust made a $1 million donation to the first IVCC capital campaign to name the Community Technology Center

(CTC) for Peter Jr. and Peter III. The donation, facilitated by Miller Group Media President Joyce McCullough and Catherine Miller, Peter III’s widow, is the largest in IVCC’s 90-year history.

Mautino, a 10-term 76th District representative and the House’s Deputy Majority Leader, played a key role facilitating a $22.8 million appropriation to fund 75 percent of CTC project costs. In addition, he has made possible $500,000 in special appropriations for CTC enhancement and funding for student life space, a cyber café and support for the Emergency Medical Service program.

Mautino was also involved in the $550,000 capital renewal grant that helped fund construction of the Truck Driver Training Center, skill path, 300-spot parking lot and resurfacing of an old parking lot in 2009. Recently, Mautino’s support led to an $88,700 grant to assist veterans attending IVCC. Mikyska taught three years at Mendota High School before spending the next 39 at IVCC teaching full-time

PRINCETON — The Princeton Park Board is looking at issuing $770,000 in general obligation bonds to help cover expenses in the 2014-15 fiscal year.

At Monday’s meeting, the park board directed the district’s attorney, Bob Russell, to move forward with the process to issue the general obligation bonds for the new fiscal year. The board had discussed trying to issue bonds closer to the $790,000 mark but were unable to do so because of the park district’s lower EAV (equalized assessed valuation), said Elaine Russell, park district executive director, on Tuesday.

The park district had an EAV of $148,632,159 in the 201011 fiscal year, but the EAV has decreased progressively each year to the current EAV of $133,500,000 for the 2013-14 fiscal year, Russell said. Due to the decrease in EAV, the park district has gone from issuing $800,000 in general obligation bonds for both the 2010-11 and the 2011-12 fiscal years to issuing $790,000 for the 2012-13 year and now the suggested $770,000 for the 2014-15 year.

Certainly, these decreases have an effect on the park district’s yearly budget, Russell said.

Looking at the budget, the park district counts on property taxes, various fees and rates revenues, donations, trusts and general obligation bonds each year to operate, Russell said. The general obligation bonds are working cash that is secured for 11 months, paid off and sold again.

Also at Monday’s park board meeting, the board discussed the 2014 preliminary tax levy, which will be adopted in late November or early December. The amount of taxes levied is expected to be basically the same as last year with approximately $1,263,750 brought into the district, including bonds, Russell said.

The board also noted that commissioner Bob Halberg Jr.’s seat will be up for re-election at the April 7, 2015 consolidated election. Anyone interested in learning more about the commissioner position is encouraged to contact Russell at the Metro Center, 815-872-0840.

Also, Russell announced the city of Princeton has invited the Princeton Park District Board and staff, along with other community entities, to attend an “all taxing body meeting” at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 6 at Ye Olde Underground Inn for an open dialogue to determine how the groups can work toward some of the common goals for the community.

The flavors of tradition A to Z From Page 1 Township Food Pantry wants to offer more food to its patrons at this time, enabling them to stockpile foods for later consumption, Martin said. Comfort foods and foods with a long shelf life such as soups, pastas and one-box meals are among the items sought.

With the community’s help, this extra collection can happen, she said.

Donations may be taken to the Hall Township Food Pantry, located at 500 N. Terry St. in Spring Valley, the Ladd Village Hall, Mautino Public Library in Spring Valley or to collection boxes at area churches.

People are asked to write their initials on their bag or sack, so she can see the creativity of the A to Z selections, Martin said.

In addition to the Spring Valley community, the Hall Township Food Pantry serves the communities of Arlington, Bureau, Cherry, Dalzell, DePue, Hollowayville, Ladd and Seatonville. This “giving area” has a total population of about 10,500 residents, with the Hall Township Food Pantry serving a little more than 1,000 individuals a month, representing about 390 families, Martin said. That’s a “pretty high percentage” of the population using the food pantry, she added.

“We have seen a steady increase the last three years. We see new people sign up for our giving nearly every day. Fortunately we have people get back on their feet as well.

It pretty well balances, though a bit heavier on the giving side,” Martin

Big picture From Page 1 “If (big industry) comes to Streator, Princeton still benefits. If it comes to Spring Valley, LaSalle benefits. Doesn’t matter where it goes, we will all benefit; we are all tied together,” Starvrakas said.

IVAC’s goal is to create its own economic development organization. They hope to hire an economic development professional to lead the way in marketing all areas in the footprint region.

“We’re not ignoring our local industries either,” Starvrakas reassured.

“We’ve started a lot of manufacturing groups and have got them talking about how they can encompass each other.”

Ladgenski commended IVAC for their new approach.

“That’s very difficult to stand back and say we are no longer going to exist

said.

When it comes to describing the people using the services of the food pantry, Martin said there is no one stereotype. The patrons include single people and couples, parents with children and single parents, senior citizens struggling to get by on Social Security, the newly-unemployed or under-employed, veterans, the sick who cannot work and the well who cannot make ends meet under current circumstances, Martin said.

“They are men, women or children, young or old, new to Hall Township or long-time residents … but all are hungry,” she said.

The Hall Township Food Pantry may be reached at 815-663-2085.

farm which needed to be offset first, he said.

In other business at Monday’s council meeting, Clawson gave an update on the status of three sanitary sewer construction projects before the city, including the extension of sanitary sewer throughout the Bailey Subdivision; the South Church Street work to replace sanitary sewer and do storm sewer improvements

south from Thompson Street; and the sanitary sewer replacement for 1,300 feet on a section of the North Euclid Avenue area.

The final bid specifications have been completed for the three projects, Clawson said.

The projects have been advertised, with a prebid meeting set for Monday. Bids will be opened Oct. 16, with the city council hopefully awarding the contract at its Oct. 20 meeting. The projects will move for-

ward under one umbrella, the city manager said.

Clawson also announced the city’s website is being updated and should be completed and online hopefully by the end of the month.

In other business, the city council had a first reading of a proposed ordinance to amend the Princeton City Code to increase the number of Class A liquor licenses from 20 to 25.

like we are, that we need to change, and they’re will to so that,” she said.

“It’s going to be a huge thing. I’ve been involved in this regional effort and have attended these meetings, and I think we will be pleased from the results of it.”

Right now, IVAC is meeting with Chicago-area commercial retailers, looking into incubator companies who might be looking to relocate and keeping strong connections with economic development representatives in the railroad company to assure they keep their tracks in the area, which is a key factor in attracting business.

The IVAC Board is opening its doors to any other cities or villages interested in participating in this new direction.

Ladgenski said the more areas they have, thy more possible resources they can market to big businesses.

Did you hear?

Let me get it out of the way right now ... I’m not a fan of gossip.

Have I ever gossiped in my life? Yes. But I’ve tried to learn from the past, and those lessons have taught me how hurtful and unfair the act of gossiping can be for others ... and ultimately myself.

Have I ever been the subject of gossip? Yes. I know first-hand how difficult it is to be the brunt of others’ words, regardless of whether those words are true or not.

I guess I’m rather sensitive to gossip because I deal with it regularly in the newspaper business. I’m not talking Terri Simon about the folks who call or come to visit me with a news tip. I appreciate those tips because it helps us stay on top of what’s going on; we operate with a very small staff, so any legitimate help we can get is more than welcomed.

What I’m talking about are those calls or letters I receive — usually written anonymously or from a caller who won’t give me their name for reasons unknown — where the person who contacts me clearly has an agenda and their information is based on gossip, rather than fact. I’ve come to realize these callers/letter-writers usually want to belittle another or cause grief for someone else. In a nutshell, those calls/letters are troubling.

I think we’ve all probably been hurt by gossip at one time or another. We all know how it feels to be talked about by others — regardless of whether the words are true or not. Realistically, I usually feel that if someone is talking about me, my life must be far more interesting than their life is, and if they had cool things happening in their life, they wouldn’t have the time or the desire to talk about mine ... however, it’s not that easy.

Gossip can hurt; it never heals. It can create havoc that should never happen. Drama. I’ve never known it to be kind or helpful, rather hurtful and malicious. And you can just bet if someone is gossiping with you — that same person will gossip about you.

So why does it happen? Why is it so universal?

Why does it happen every day? Why do some people enjoy hurting others so much?

You got me on this one. Personally, I try to live with the old saying that one should use the filter in their heads before they speak and ultimately ask themselves these questions: 1. Is it true? 2. Is it kind? and 3. Is it really necessary? If I can’t answer yes to all three of those questions, I don’t say it.

So why all the talk on gossip? I recently had a dear friend who called me and told me of an issue in her family that involved all kinds of assumptions and gossip. It was so troubling for her ... troubling enough I could hear her voice crack and I could visualize the tears rolling down her cheeks.

She said she knew I dealt with gossip a lot in my job, and she needed some advice.

My heart broke for her, and right or wrong, my advice (for what it’s worth) was fairly simple: Ignore it.

I told her those who wanted to gossip would do so regardless of what she said. I also told her that her real friends would call and ask how they could help, rather than find joy in talking about her situation.

Think about that ... When a friend has a situation that becomes the talk of the town, how many times do we call that person and offer our help?

I truly believe a lot of our problems would disappear if we talked to each other ... instead of about each other. My theory is if you want to know something about me ... just ask.

I guess I could go on and on ... but someone much more elegant with words than me was concise and to the point. I don’t know who penned this statement, but it’s a good rule to live by: “If you did not hear it with your own ears or see it with your own eyes, then do not invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth.”

Amen!

Richard Widmark: A Princeton legacy Becoming Richard Widmark — Mary (Ogorman) Barr, Part 2 Column and artwork by Bartlett Lee Kassabaum Special to the BCR

Charles Barr became a naturalized citizen in 1888. He is working for the Sioux Falls Granite Co. as a paving cutter and wife, Mary, is doing her best. They are living in a rented home. Just before the turn of the century, sons Walter and James are out into the world. They are running a livery barn in Dell Rapids Township, S.D., and by 1898, Margaret, May Ethel and Leo are born to the family in East Sioux Falls. Their son, Charlie, is also out on his own working as a saloon keeper. While Charles is working in the quarry, Mary is taking in laundry for extra income, in addition to her daily chores of being a mother, a cook, a baker and maintaining their home. Married women rarely strayed outside the home in the late 1800s where the work was laborious and filled with drudgery. This was the life of Mary Barr that had tested her metal since a young age. Sometimes life only gets tougher.

East Sioux Falls was a city (now gone) located in southeastern Minnehaha County, S.D., located about six miles east of Sioux Falls on the Big Sioux River. During the 1880s, the quarrying of a distinctive pink stone known as jasper or quartzite had developed into a successful business in Sioux Falls.

In 1887, the Sioux Falls Granite Co. opened four quarries six miles due east of downtown Sioux Falls in Split Rock Township. The area had an abundance of quartzite along the bluffs overlooking the Big Sioux River. It was exposed to the Earth’s surface and easily mined. Hundreds of miners and their family settled in the area that was first known as Ives, but when the Illinois Central Railroad extended the tracks west from Iowa and through the city, it put in a depot and had the name changed to East Sioux Falls. The population was more than 600 by 1890, and it was incorporated into a municipality.

The town had workers’ cottages, a post office, town hall, depot, school house, general store, hotel, grain elevator, stable, saloons and a jail.

The quarried stone was cut into building stones and paving blocks and shipped to construction projects throughout the country. Pink quartzite was superior in quality to other stones with a delicate coloring that looked good in any light. Like in any quarry, all of the tapping, drilling and blasting filled the air with the dust and grit from the mined stone.

If you worked in a quarry this is what you breathed. Hundreds of cities of the west were paved with quartzite blocks cut at the East Sioux Falls quarries. That was a lot of stone and even more dust and grit. The city felt the depression of 1893, and the Sioux Falls Granite Co. was pushed into bankruptcy. By 1900 concrete had taken the place of stone as a building material. Charles Barr’s life as a paver cutter was at an end in East Sioux Falls with the closing of the quarries.

The explosives and cutting of stone in the quarries that released particulate matter into the air, could cause human illness such as silicosis

and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Charles Barr had breathed this air in Scotland and now in Sioux Falls for 30 years. He had quarry lung. An immigrant was given work based on what he learned from his father, and many jobs found the immigrant as dispensable. Jobs that involved the dangers of death kept a supply of immigrants at hand.

Charles Barr died at age 48 on March 17, 1904, in Sioux Falls, S.D. He died of hemorrhage of the lung and was buried in St. Michael’s Cemetery.

The city of East Sioux Falls gave up its charter in 1913 with the out migration of its residents. Mary Barr and her three children had already moved on after the death of her husband.

It is 1910, six years after the death of her husband, Charles, and Mary Barr is now living in Split Rock, Minnehaha County, S.D. She is a laundress in her home with two of her children, May Ethel (Richard Widmark’s mother) age 13, Leo age 11, and a boarder James Loury from Ireland. Her daughter, Margaret has left the nest and married David W. Miller in 1907, a man eight years her senior. They have a daughter, Rene, age 2, and live in Sioux Falls.

May Ethel leaves home later that year and is living with her sister, Margaret, and David Miller. She meets Carl Henry Widmark at some time in 1912, and they are married on Jan. 16, 1914, in Canton, Lincoln County, S.D. They move to Braham, Minn., for work, and then Carl takes a clerking job, with living quarters in Sunrise Township, Minn., in early 1914. May Ethel is with child, and on Dec. 26, 1914, at 12:45 p.m., Richard Weedt Widmark is born.

Mary Barr has relocated to Sioux Falls in about 1915. She and her son.

Leo. are living at 517 N. Waltz. Leo is working for the Sioux Falls Candy Co. They move to 821 W. Sixth St., and they have three Greek roomers who also work in the candy factory.

Mary’s daughter, Ethel Mae (she reversed it from Mae Ethel), her husband, Carl Henry Widmark, and son Richard, have moved back to Sioux Falls in 1916. Mary is elated to have her family near and is very fond of her little grandson, Richard.

The city of Sioux Falls, S.D., sprang to life from the settling, by an agricultural society, of the area around the cascading falls of the Big Sioux River, created about 14,000 years ago during the last ice age. The lure of the falls brought first the native tribes (HoChunk, Ioway, Missouri, Omaha, Osage, Dakota and Cheyenne) followed by the Europeans.

Fort Dakota was established in 1865,

and by 1873, the population was 593 in the midst of a building boom. The village of Sioux Falls, 1,200 acres, was incorporated in 1876 and chartered as a city in 1883. The arrival of the railroads ushered in the great Dakota Boom of the 1880s. The population had mushroomed to 10,167 by the turn of the century. A severe plague of grasshoppers and a national depression halted the boom by the early 1890s, but prosperity eventually returned with the opening of the John Morrell meat packing plant in 1909. The city had industry, shops, services, schools, churches and entertainment, including movie theatres. The Olympia Theatre opened in 1909, The Egyptian Theatre in 1915, and The Strand Theatre in 1916.

The first minute-length movies, were shown in Mutoscope parlors, where only one person could view them, by cranking a handle as they looked into the peepshow machine.

The big turning point came in 1903 with the Edison Company’s “The Great Train Robbery,” projected on a screen with musical accompaniment, usually with piano. The Olympia Theatre opened with the showing of “Her First Biscuits” and “The Faded Lilies,” both by Director D.W. Griffith. Mary Barr discovers the movies and for just a few pennies, she finds an escape from the toils of her life, even if for less than an hour.

She sees her first Tom Mix Western shorts in 1915. She takes Richard, age 3, to his first movie in 1917.

She has endured as a young mother since age 16, lost four children, raised another six in the toughest of circumstances, buried her husband at 44, and found a way to survive by the most menial type of labor.

I’ll be back with the third reel on Mary Barr and grandson, Richard Widmark.

PCA students learn about Lovejoy PRINCETON — Marty Kiser recently took her sixthgrade language arts class to visit the Lovejoy Homestead in Princeton. The class was preparing to write an historical fiction piece dealing with slavery, and the field trip was a way to get some first-hand knowledge about the Underground Railroad and historic details from

that period of history.

Paul Ernst gave the students a tour of the home, complete with fascinating facts and details about the Lovejoy family and the workings of the Underground Railroad. The students took copious notes and asked many questions.

Ernst sent home with the students a CD containing

tales of freedom seekers, which they listened to for the next week, one story a day.

After all of this inspiration, the students were ready to write their own original tales set in the historic framework that they had assembled. They are currently finishing up the final drafts of their stories.

Women at our BEST will celebrate three-year anniversary with an event on Oct. 27 Reservations for gettogether are due Oct. 22 OGLESBY — Women at our BEST, a Christian women’s group which stands for building, encouraging, strengthening and teaching, will celebrate its three-year anniversary on Oct. 27.

BEST, a ministry of Oglesby Union Church, hosts four gatherings per year which include an inspirational speaker, music, refreshments and more. All events are free for women, and women need not have attended previously. The October get-together will be from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Oglesby Union Church.

As the final meeting in 2014’s series, “Relationships Handcrafted

by God,” the focus of the October get-together is about the importance of women taking care of themselves, both physically and spiritually.

Guest speaker Mariana Clapp of Oglesby will present “Finding Rest for Our Souls, God’s Promise” as she elaborates on the promise that even in a crazy world, God’s plan for us is to remain spiritually and mentally healthy, content in ourselves, enjoying and loving ourselves because of His grace.

The evening will also consist of a demonstration by Angie Carpenter of Van Orin on making T-shirt quilts, vocal selections by Georgia Radtke of LaSalle, piano by Lois Croasdale of Spring Valley, and cake and homemade refreshments to commemorate the anniversary celebration.

Mariana Clapp, who was born

and raised in Ottawa, now lives with her husband, Jim, in the Oglesby area. She is a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She works as a registered nurse at Illinois Valley Community Hospital in Peru. Her hobbies include boating on the Illinois River and traveling. The Lord has called her to serve in the areas of home Bible studies, and she has served on the board of Retreat to the Rock since its formation 25 years ago. She desires to encourage other women to draw closer to one another as they draw their strength from the Lord.

Angie Carpenter is a teacher/ assistant principal at Hall High School. She has worked at Hall for 19 years, the first 16 years in the classroom as a social science teacher, and recently teaching government and geography and helping coordinate the curriculum and Hall’s RtI program. She is a lifelong resident of Van Orin still living on the farm she grew up on. She attended LaMoille schools, Illinois Valley Community College and then Illinois State University. She was introduced to sewing through 4-H and a high school home economics class, but it is only recently that she has taken it up as a serious hobby.

Georgia Pryde Radtke is a teacher of voice and piano and currently teaches music at Dalzell. She has taught music part time in Deer Park, Waltham and Tonica schools, as well as full time in Peru Washington Junior High School. While at Peru she directed many musicals, including “Annie,” “The King and I,” “Music Man” and “High School Musical.” A talented vocalist her-

self, she has played roles including Eliza Doolittle in “My Fair Lady” and Mother Superior in Stage 212’s “Sound of Music.” She is a proud mom and grandma. She has been a member and director of the Oglesby Union Church choir for several years and directed the OUC Children’s Music Camp for 10 years.

Lois Croasdale lives in Spring Valley with her husband, Victor, and their 12-year-old daughter, Sarah.

She attends Grace United Methodist Church in LaSalle. She has been called to serve all over the world through various short-term missions trips in Africa and Europe and spent about two years working with refugees in Athens, Greece. While in Greece she met her British husband at the International Church.

After marrying, Lois and Victor lived in the England/Scotland area for two and one-half years. Since then they have lived in Missouri and now reside in her home state of Illinois.

She is an elementary school teacher. She developed a love of music from her grandmother and mother and began piano lessons at age 5. She learned how to play several other instruments, but piano always remained her favorite.

The BEST committee invites women to attend this non-denominational event. This event is free and child care is provided upon request by R.S.V.P. date. A prayer room will be open the evening of the meeting. Interested women should R.S.V.P. to women.at.our. best@gmail.com, through Facebook at Women at our BEST, or by calling or texting Jacqueline Smith at 309-678-3182 by Oct. 22.

SPRING VALLEY — The St. Bede Academy Bruins and Hall Red Devils both came into Friday’s rivalry 4-2 knowing that one win would make their squad playoff eligible.

The Red Devils, with magnificent play from junior quarterback Drew Pullam and tenacious defense from their secondary, proved to be too much for the Bruins as the Red Devils grabbed a 26-18 victory Friday night.

“We didn’t want to just go into the playoffs 6-3; we wanted come over here and get that win and try to finish out 7-2 while we still have a chance to do that,” Hall coach Randy Tieman said. “We talked about taking a chunk out of the mountain and this was a big one that we had to take out tonight.”

Each defense held tough early as neither team had any answers on offense

Tigresses just ‘shake it off’ PHS golfers earn third straight trip to sectional

Princeton girls golf regional

khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Qualifying teams: 1 Morton (390), 2.

Princeton (398), 3. Metamora (400).

Area qualifying individuals: Sydney Eustice (St. Bede) 97, Aiko Mendoza (St. Bede) 98, Mercedes Ruiz (DePue) 100.

Whenever the Princeton girls golf team has a bad hit or a bad hole, they always think back to their team theme of “Shake It Off,” and move on. That Taylor Swift tune has carried them back to the sectional tournament for the third straight year.

The Tigresses were able to shake off all the competition but one to finished second in their own regional tournament Wednesday at Chapel Hill Golf Course. PHS came in at 398 to finish as regional runner-up to Morton (390).

Metamora was third at 400.

“All my team has to remember is, ‘Shake it off,’ “ senior captain Sophia Suarez said.

PHS coach Will Gross said playing on its home course was definitely an advantage.

“Home sweet home helps out a lot.

I’m not going to lie,” PHS coach Will Gross said. “Advantage yes. But you’ve still got to hit the ball, still got to hit the fairway and green just like everyone else.

I think it helps us a little bit with the

greens and everything. Overall, I think the way they played, we’d put up good numbers on any course we were at.”

And going back to sectionals for the third straight year is pretty sweet, the Tigresses said.

“It’s totally awesome that our team is going to be making our third consecutive year in the sectional tournament,” Suarez said. “We were in a pretty tight regional, but we put our best foot forward and really owned our home course and showed those teams what Princeton is all about.”

Junior Arraia Hicks said, “I just can’t wait to play Monday and try to get to state this year.”

by St. Bede’s Sydney Eustice and Aiko Mendoza and DePue’s Mercedes Ruiz, who each advanced Wednesday as individual qualifiers.

Suarez and Hicks tied for fifth place individually, both shooting a 97. Suarez carded the same score at regional last year, and would have liked to done better.

“I was a little upset with myself. Being that it is my home course, I should have taken advantage. It’s a little disappointing knowing how low I could shoot on that course, but today just wasn’t my day,” she said.

Suarez said the par 3s and putting were her biggest struggles.

“Confidence is so key to putting, and I have been lacking that,” she said. “I hope to get it together this weekend in time for sectionals for my second chance to shoot lower in the postseason.”

Hicks was happy breaking 100, but said, “I could’ve done better on the front 9.”

Junior Audra Reidner was just one stroke back at 98 and senior Sarah Crowe added a 106. Rounding out the Tigresses’ regional card were junior newcomers Jaimee Ciesielski (128) and Brooke Hieronymus (133).

“Thursday (at conference) was the first time we broke 400 as a team and to do it in regional under this kind of pressure and atmosphere here, I think it’s wonderful. I think it shows we’ll continue to do that moving into Monday,” Gross said.

“I’m very impressed on how we made such a great effort all shooting low, maybe not reaching our individual goals, but we still were under 400 which is awesome,” Suarez said.

Eustice, who was the lone area state qualifier in 2013, said her score could have been much better, but she was happy to move on.

“I’m going to make it out. I didn’t do my best, but it works,” said Eustice who shot an 87 to place fourth at conference last week. “I’m hoping I can get it together.”

Mendoza was just one stroke (99) behind her teammate and Ruiz came in at 100. Mendoza, a

Princeton’s Jett Wedekind butts heads with an Orion defender Friday.

Tigers From Page 13 Schultz on the seventh play of the game to cap a 58-yard scoring drive at the 9:46 mark.

The Tigers needed just four plays to answer with a 20-yard score by Kai Tomaszewski at the 7:54 mark.

“We answered back very well,” Snyder said.

“We did some good things defensively second quarter to make sure we got the stops we needed to get. Offensively, we got to continue to maintains our assignments and get the job done.

“We’ve just got to come back and work again. Each week you’ve got another opportunity,” he said.

The Chargers cashed in a 17-yard run by Jacob Edmonds with 5:08 left in the first quarter to go up 14-7.

MANLIUS — The Bureau Valley Storm clinched a share of the Three Rivers Conference East title with a decisive 25-13, 25-20 victory over the Hall Lady Red Devils Thursday night at the Storm Cellar.

“We have a (clinched) tie for the conference championship and they know that. We don’t talk about it. We know what we have to do. We know when a task is handed to us we know what we’re going to do, and I’m confident we’ll get it done,” coach Abbi Bosnich said.

Clinching a share of the title will not change the mindset or approach that Bosnich and her squad will take into the rest of the season.

“We do have big dreams, but they definitely keep it focused for that night and that’s what we’ve worked on since the beginning; what’s on hand that night,” Bosnich said.

It didn’t take long for the Storm (18-4, 9-0) to continue their march to an undefeated season in conference play, jumping out to a 5-1 lead highlighted by a powerful spike by senior outside hitter Heaven Bennett.

Three service points, including two aces by senior middle hitter Lindsey Hoffert, pushed the BV lead to seven points at 12-5, and they didn’t look back for the remainder of the game.

“We knew that Hall would come out and fight us. I think we all worked really well together, and we just need to keep doing what we’re doing and playing together as a team,” senior setter Sydney Lebahn said.

Bureau Valley’s Heaven Bennett guards the net for the Storm Thursday against Hall.

Game 2 was back and forth early with neither team able to gain any traction.

A kill by Hall junior middle hitter Caitlyn Jabloski that made the score 14-13 looked to give the Red Devils some life as it pulled them within one point of BV — until a huge kill down the line by senior middle hitter Carlie Bucket gave the storm a two-point lead at 15-13.

“Carlie just got on top of the ball tonight and did a great job,” Bosnich said.

“Her blocking was just on.

She’s a very strong player for us in the middle. Very strong” Bickett’s play gave the Storm the momentum they needed to finish the game on a 10-7 run.

“It’s amazing,” Lebahn said of clinching a share of the TRAC-East championship. “We are still going for that undefeated record.

We’re hoping for the best.

Saturday: Match 4 — Winners 2-3, at 6 p.m.

Red Devils From Page 13 end Sam Halm to knot the contest 6-6 with 4:19 to play in the first half.

Brady got the Bruins on the board early in the second half on a beautiful ball fade to the back corner of the end zone that senior running back Tyler Taber hauled in for a 20-yard touchdown with 8:59 left to go in the third quarter.

Pullam answered four minutes later with a TD pass of his own to junior end Julian Barroso from five yards out.

“They made big plays. I thought we slowed them down and stopped the run but they made big plays,” SBA coach John Bellino said. “Their quarterback had a red hot night and they’ve got a couple good receivers.”

After a SBA punt, Pullam hooked up with junior running back Jake Merkel on a fade route to the corner of the end zone to put Hall up 20-12 with 45.5 left to play in the third quarter.

With the clock winding down in the third, Merkel made an incredible interception as he jumped the Bruins’ receiver route and made a diving catch to give the Red Devils the ball back to start the fourth quarter.

“I’ve said it all year how good our secondary can be and week in and week out they’ve shut teams down,” Tieman said.

A few short minutes later Pullam once again found Barroso on fourth and eight from the SBA 16 -yard line to push the Hall lead to 26-12.

The Bruins got on the board again with 4:53 to play on a handoff that junior running back Christian Smith took around the end for a four-yard score.

Hall’s Jake Merkel (below) dives for an interception in front of St. Bede’s Sam Halm Friday.

Taber found a hole in the Bruin line and blocked the point after attempt to preserve an eight-point edge at 26-18.

St. Bede doomed themselves for the rest of the game as senior running back Justin Shaw had trouble handling a punt that Hall junior running back Chris Hammonds

pounced on with 3:13 left to play.

Hall maintained possession for the remainder of the game to hold onto the 26-18 victory.

Pullam lead the Red Devils’ offense as he went 23 for 14 with 291 yards passing and four touchdowns.

Barroso grabbed five

receptions for 89 yards and two scores.

“I thought our offense in the second half was much better. In the first half we were laying back some we just weren’t ready for the pressure Hall was putting on us,” Bellino said.

Got corn? Got storage?

As discussed in a recent column, Illinois farmers are on track to set new production records for this year’s corn and soybean crops.

That means we will see a lot of semi-trucks on the roads hauling the grain to storage. Assuming one of the semi-trucks you end up following is hauling 850 bushels of corn, it would take nearly 3 million of those trucks to haul this year’s Illinois corn crop. Even the much smaller soybean crop would need about 700,000 semis.

So, expect to see a lot of grain trucks on the road.

As good as the news of a record crop is, the abundance does present a problem – where to store this year’s crop?

The crop will be needed all year long, so the abundance from harvest needs to find someplace to spend part, or all, of the next 12 months, until the next harvest.

This could prove to be a challenge, particularly if the weather remains good and harvesting continues at a rapid pace.

Corn and soybeans have two places to be stored – on-farm and off-farm. About half of this year’s Illinois corn crop could fit into existing off-farm stor-

age facilities – the grain elevators that mark the skyline of many small Illinois towns. The other half of the crop could be stored on-farm, in one of the grain bins some Illinois farmers have near their home. And the remainder of the state’s storage capacity, either on-farm or off-farm, could accommodate the soybean crop. So, if all of the on farm and off farm storage facilities were empty and ready to accept this year’s crop, storage problems could be keep in check. But those facilities are not empty because there is still some of last year’s crop in storage. So, taking into account the corn left from last year’s harvest and this year’s record crop, is there a storage problem?

A recent report, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, provides some help to answer that question. Nationwide, on Sept. 1, 2014, the amount of corn still in storage was 50 percent larger than last Sept. 1, 2013. All states, in the report, had significantly more corn in storage this year than last year except for one – Illinois. While Iowa’s corn stocks increased from 2013 levels by 30

William Bailey COMMENTARY

percent and Indiana’s doubled, Illinois corn stocks declined by 10 percent - freeing up a lot of needed storage.

During times of huge crops and limited storage, it is not unusual to see corn stored outside – what I call horizontal storage. In the past, you may have seen these piles of corn, after harvest, around the state.

For short periods of time, the experts say outside storage does not hurt the quality of the corn. However, given the availability of storage, it is doubtful that much corn will need to be stored outside. But there still will be a lot of trucks on the road, helping move the corn from the field to a new home.

Professor Bailey formerly was the chief economist for the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Food and Nutrition. He also has served as Deputy-Under Secretary of Agriculture.

He is now affiliated with the Western Illinois University’s School of Agriculture.

judges to personally visit participants and provide a detailed written evaluation that can be used as a guide to future improvements.

James Sutton and Karin Rindal, two specially trained AIB judges, visited towns of similar populations and spent two days touring each town, meeting municipal officials, residents and volunteers.

Other competitors in the 15,001 to 19,000 population category were Arroyo Grande, Calif.; Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.; and Holliston, Mass.

Ottawa received a prestigious five-bloom rating and won in their population category. In addition, they received a special mention for their youth art initiative which encourages youth to be very active in the creation of art that is publicly and permanently displayed in Ottawa in a number of venues.

Judges said, “Ottawa has come a long way

from a concrete and asphalt jungle to a green oasis. Now its efforts are at critical mass through its diverse and highly successful grant funding activities and the tireless efforts of many volunteers.

“You should be proud of the many noteworthy achievements across all the America in Bloom criteria.”

Registrations for the 2015 national awards program can be submitted until Feb. 28, 2015.

Eligible participants include towns, cities, college and university campuses, business districts, military installations and recognized neighborhoods of large cities.
