PHS students taking the initiative

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — New this year, Princeton High School is live streaming sporting events through its website. Starting in August, PHS began to live

stream all home volleyball and football games.

At Wednesday’s meeting of the PHS board of education, Assistant Principal and Athletic Director Jesse Brandt said the public response to the live streaming has been to be exceedingly positive,

with 994 views from the Orion-PHS football game alone. Following PHS’s example, many other local area schools have been live streaming their home events, he said.

“I like the fact that people anywhere in the world get a chance to see our kids

compete,” said Brandt.

Live streaming provides family and friends who may not live close or who may not be able to attend the opportunity to watch the games and to support the PHS athletes, Brandt said.

“We hope to do all home

sporting events in the winter as well as concerts and hopefully graduation in the spring,” he said, in regards to the future of live streaming at PHS. Brooke Ford and D.J. Piper run the production, videotaping the games with an iPad and using a

chromebook to keep the scoreboard.

Previously promoted through WZOE, according to Brandt, Friday was the first time the live streaming production utilized the WZOE’s broadcast in its

Yates-Mabry, Wilkin face off in county treasurer’s race Editor’s note: The Bureau County Republican asked Bureau County Treasurer candidates to fill out a questionnaire. Following are their responses.

Rick Wilkin Position for which you are running: Bureau County Treasurer.

Political party: Democrat.

Town of residence: Ohio.

Where you work now: Bureau Valley Schools (Buda and Wyanet).

Age: 56.

Education: MA – school counseling; BA – distributed studies (minors in economics, history, coaching).

Experience: As a county board member, I worked with the committee that developed the 2008 through 2011 county budgets.

I have a minor in economics.

What are your Top 3 goals, if you are elected: 1. Each month a bank sends its customers a monthly statement showing their account balances.

The county board does not currently receive a detailed monthly statement to show how much has been spent out of each line item or how much remains in each line item. Before approving bills, the county board should receive a monthly statement that informs them of how they are spending tax dollars.

County board members do receive a list of expenses for the month, however, it is not put together in an easy-to-read form. Monthto-month expenses should be presented in the same format as the county budget showing exactly what was budgeted, what has been spent and how much will be remaining if the expenses are approved.

2. All financial documents presented at the

Part of that responsibility is to wisely invest county funds. Increasing investment income for the county can provide an additional source of revenue.

Who killed ‘Trader Jack’ Redshaw?

King of Swap shot to death in Granville almost 60 years ago

By Shannon Serpette sserpette@bcrnews.com

Editor’s note: This is the first in a three-part series on unsolved mysteries in the Illinois Valley.

GRANVILLE — The sleepy village of Granville in 1955, in many ways, resembled the fictional town of Mayberry. It was a quiet, safe place where everyone knew everyone, where locals gathered to visit on slow days. It also had its share of characters

— perhaps none more well-known than “Trader Jack” Redshaw.

Granville’s sense of security was shattered in 1955, when the town learned Redshaw had been shot to death in his downtown business. The murder was never solved.

Almost 60 years later, residents are still fascinated

by Redshaw and the mystery of his death.

Redshaw From Page 1 rural most of his clients likely couldn’t pinpoint it on a map.

Redshaw’s office was located in what now houses the Granville Library — this location contained a vault, which still remains in the building to this day.

The vault served as storage for small, valuable items such as jewelry, according to his great nephew John Redshaw of Hennepin, who was just a few months old at the time of the murder.

“The majority of his inventory, however, was in a warehouse just off of McCoy Street,” John said.

The townsfolk knew of Redshaw’s opulent inventory, mainly because he liked to show off the goods he received.

Darrell Alleman of Granville saw firsthand some of Redshaw’s valuables when he stopped by the business one day with one of his friends.

“He pulled out drawers, and there were diamonds and green emeralds. He’d run his fingers through them,” Alleman said.

Redshaw’s fame had spread well past the boundaries of Putnam County. When newspapers and national magazines called for interviews, Redshaw was happy to oblige, appearing in various publications, including Reader’s Digest and the Chicago Tribune.

“My grandfather described him as flamboyant, shrewd, interesting, both friendly and abrasive, and obviously an incredibly astute businessman who seemingly knew the value of everything,” John said.

Alleman said it seemed Redshaw was always on the lookout for potential trouble coming his way.

Once Redshaw left the lights on in his car. Rather than go outside at night to turn off the lights, he let the battery die, Alleman said.

“He wouldn’t go out at night. As far as I know, he didn’t. He was nervous,” Alleman said.

A prior incident showed Redshaw had reason to be concerned about his

“He pulled out drawers, and there were diamonds and green emeralds.

He’d run his fingers through them” Darrell Alleman personal safety. He was allegedly once kidnapped out of one of his Granville buildings by gunpoint, according to Alleman. He made it through that harrowing event but seemed cautious after that, Alleman said.

Despite any fears he may have been harboring, Redshaw, who was married and had one daughter, still loved to talk to anybody who would listen, Alleman said.

“He was a nice man,” Alleman said. “He had a chair that he sat out in front of his office, and he talked to people walking by.”

The murder A rainy day is what led Alleman to an experience on Sept. 26, 1955, he has never forgotten.

“I should have been farming, but it rained that morning,” Alleman said.

Instead, Alleman, who was in his mid-20s at the time, went into downtown Granville to hang out at the local snack bar to chat with his friends. Their conversation was soon interrupted.

“Mrs. Redshaw came in crying and screaming and saying she needed a doctor,” Alleman said.

When the group of men ran a few doors over to check on her husband, they found him on the floor by the vault in his Granville shop. He was brought out on a stretcher and taken to a doctor. But that was just a formality — Alleman said it was clear from the moment he looked at Redshaw he was already dead.

Redshaw was wearing a light blue suit, Alleman remembers.

“I could see the powder marks on the blue suit. I knew he was dead,” he said.

Why Redshaw met his demise at age 61 is still a mystery. Some townsfolk believed it was a gang hit, while others surmised it was a robbery attempt

— but no one could tell what, if anything, had been taken.

“From what I understand, Jack’s inventory control was done by memory,” John said. “As a result, it was impossible to determine exactly what was stolen from his vault and office. According to several newspaper accounts, there were missing jewels.

From what I have heard, the killers panicked and left before cleaning out the vault. In fact, I recall my grandfather saying that jewels had been scattered about as if the killers were in a hurry ... I doubt that murder was the intent and once their plan went awry, they panicked.”

Alleman said the popular sentiment at the time was that Redshaw was killed by gangsters. The scattered jewels didn’t convince some townsfolk the murder was a botched robbery attempt.

“They don’t think it was a robbery, but they think they tried to make it appear as a robbery,” Alleman said.

The notion Redshaw was killed by gangsters may have helped the perpetrator get away with it.

“People saw some strange cars in town, but they were all afraid to go testify or tell the police,” Alleman said. “Everyone was nervous and scared they might come back.

When Redshaw died, so did his trading empire.

“His wife and daughter slowly sold off his fascinating inventory for pennies on the dollar,” John said.

No matter who the culprit was, John believes his great uncle’s fondness for fame contributed to his death.

“I suspect that Jack’s publicity was his undoing. Having been featured in national publications as a wealthy international trader in the sleepy ham-

Redshaw, a savvy businessman, was known as a flamboyant, larger-than-life figure. let of Granville, where he was without any significant personal protection, probably proved too enticing for a small group of criminals,” he said.

John believes Redshaw’s murder will never be solved.

“It was nearly 60 years ago, and the science for crime scenes in 1955 was virtually non-existent compared to today’s technology,” he said. “In addition, I doubt the perpetrators are still alive.”

Though many are still fascinated by the mystery of Redshaw’s murder, John finds his life far more interesting than his death.

Hog factory still on hold for now ​By Ken Schroeder Shaw Media Service

WENONA — The proposed hog factory farm facility planned for Wenona is still in limbo.

VMC Management of Iowa continues to push for the Sandy Creek LLC facility, which would house an estimated 20,000 hogs while contributing up to 20 jobs for the area. Many local residents are overwhelmingly opposed to the hog farm, citing damage to local roads and businesses and possibly irreparable impact on the aquifer which provides water to most area residents.

The Illinois Department of Agriculture has yet to approve the project since VMC has not yet addressed concerns the facility does not meet Illinois environmental standards. That is a situation that may have changed.

“We sent an e-mail to the

company on Oct. 8,” Illinois Department of Agriculture Environmental program manager Brad Beaver said.

“We received a response on the 14th, but we have yet to act upon it. The case is under review.”

Beaver said if the outstanding questions are satisfactorily answered, the department will issue a permit.

In the meantime, VMC is also pressuring local authorities to allow the facility’s construction.

Last month, the developers threatened Marshall-Putnam County Engineer Patrick Sloan with a lawsuit, claiming he falsely filed a negative review of a road plan that is integral to the factory farm’s construction. Sloan reported the main road for the facility was not rated high enough to support the weight of the trucks expected on the road, and the $1,400 annual impact fee from the com-

pany was insufficient for road maintenance. The road in question — County Road 2800 East — is rated at 72,000 pounds from May to January and 42,400 pounds from February to April.

Trucks using the road are expected to carry 80,000pound loads.

The developers of Sandy Creek LLC claim Sloan’s report is unfounded, and he is personally using his position to block the construction of the hog facility.

Even if approved, the factory farm faces resistance from local residents and government officials. In May, the Marshall County Board voted 14 to 1 against recommending site approval to the IDA, citing negative impact on the surrounding environment, residents and businesses.

The proposed site for the hog facility is in northwest Marshall County within a few miles of both LaSalle and Putnam Counties.

Thursday special meeting takes no action

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — A special meeting of the Princeton City Council and Princeton’s insurance company was held Thursday afternoon in city hall.

When contacted Friday morning, Mayor Keith Cain said no action was taken at the special meeting.

Thursday’s special meeting stemmed from

the need to discuss the delayed insurance payment of claims made by Princeton residents for flood damage.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, two Princeton residents appeared before the city council in September to request payment for the damages that occurred in June from heavy rains and their flooded basements.

The claims were submitted to the city’s insurance

company but were denied.

The payment of these claims was included in the city bills at Monday night’s council meeting.

But at that meeting, Princeton City Commissioner Joel Quiram proposed the payment of the residents’ claims be postponed until after the council’s special meeting with representatives from the insurance company.

Post office begins new services

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton Post Office is beginning a Sunday delivery service for parcels ordered through Amazon, an Internet-based company that sells a myriad of products like electronics, books and computer items.

On Thursday, Princeton Postmaster Shannon Mattingly said the Sunday delivery of Amazon parcels will begin this Sunday, Oct. 26. As of right now in the local area, the service will be provided to Princeton, LaSalle and Mendota customers. At this point, she is not sure if the U.S. Postal Service will branch out to the smaller offices at a later date or not, she said.

Starting Nov. 23, the Sunday operation will be distributed out of the Princeton office, as opposed to LaSalle. Both operations will use Princeton employees. The postal service will also deliver Amazon parcels on Veter-

ans Day, Mattingly said.

The U.S. Postal Service has decided to do this Sunday delivery service as a result of a new contract with Amazon, Mattingly said.

In another new service, the Postal Service began same day delivery for Amazon parcels on Thursday, Mattingly said. What this means for the customer is that Amazon will get your items to the post office as soon as they receive and process the person’s order. Those parcels will be delivered to the person on that same day, the postmaster said.

There is also talk about possibly providing same day non-perishable grocery delivery for Amazon orders, Mattingly said. As she understands it, the No. 1 item ordered online is diapers. This service is currently being tested in the San Francisco area and seems to be quite successful, she said.

“Having said that, it may be that someday, in the not too far off future, we stock non-perishables as well as diapers in our office so

that we can provide faster delivery to our customers based off of their Amazon orders,” Mattingly said.

This new service with Amazon is huge for the Postal Service, since the Postal Service has lost so much of its first class letter volume because of the Internet, she said. It’s great to see the Internet is actually helping the Postal Service build its business back up to where it should be, she said.

“This is a prime example of how the Postal Service is not going to become a thing of the past. So, for those that thought we were obsolete and no longer needed as a service organization, we are coming back stronger than ever and this is only the beginning for us,” Mattingly said. “It is definitely a different Postal Service than what we have all known it to be in the past but it continues to be relevant to providing a much-needed service and becoming more prominent every day.”

DAR members learn about Potawatami Indians PRINCETON — The Princeton DAR members learned about the Potawatami Indians at their Oct. 3 meeting in the Prouty Building.

Lonna Naumann of Magnolia shared her research on the Native American Potawatami tribes which once inhabited the Illinois River Valley area.

The Potawatamis, whose name means “keep the hearth fire,” were generally a peaceful people although some participated in the attack on Fort Dearborn, now Chicago, during the War of 1812.

However, Potawatami Chief Black Partridge rescued some civilians during the aftermath. Another important Potawatami was Chief Senachwine whose encampment was north of Henry at Putnam.

A marker, placed by the Sons of the American Revolution, honors Chief Senachwine on a hilltop along

Route 29.

A certificate of recognition was presented to Jan Edgerley for her 25 years of membership and her service in chapter chairmanships.

Four prospective members were named, and new member, Elise Bittner Mackin, was announced.

Project Patriot chairman Debra Wendt shared information on her committee, established nationally after 9/11. Its aim is to fund clothing, footwear, retail gift cards, phone cards, etc., for our veterans in three locations: Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Landstuhl, Germany; Walter Reed National Medical Center in Maryland; and the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. In 2013 the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution spent more than $83,000 for supplies while more than $80,000 in care pack-

ages were sent by individual chapters. Military families are not neglected either as quilts, knitted caps for newborns, patriotic T-shirts, knitted Christmas stockings and holiday cards are among items donated by DAR. Vietnam War 50th Commemoration chairman Beverly Larson reported that the deadline is near for registering names, time of service, and rank of anyone who served during the time period of the Vietnam War. DAR members, assisted by husbands who have served in the military, planned distribute Commemoration pins at the LaSalle Veterans’ Home, following the vets’ bingo party on Oct. 11. A collection of clothing and medical items donated by the Princeton-Illinois Chapter was also to be delivered.

Oct. 11 was the 124th birthday of the founding of the National Society

DAR, established in Washington, D.C., in 1891.

Seven members attended DAR Days in Galesburg on Sept. 11. Displays and presentations by State Officers and State Chairmen highlighted the day.

On Sept. 18, five members attended the Dedication of the Solar Lights at Starved Rock, the project of State Regent, Pamela Bork. The U.S. Flag will now fly around the clock and be properly lit during the night. Due to lack of manpower and lack of electricity “at the top of the Rock,” the U.S. Flag has not flown recently at Starved Rock.

The next meeting will be held at the Bureau County Republican Room at 9:30 a.m. Nov. 1. The program will be presented by District Director Barbara Halsey. The chapter will be collecting non-perishable items for the food pantry; diabetic items are also needed.

Treasurer

live by the “golden rule;” I strive to treat every person I meet with respect and dignity. As a decision-maker, I try to be practical, transparent and to seek consensus when working to develop a solution that is “doable.” I have a minor in economics that helps me understand investment. As a county board member working on the budget, I developed a method, which is used to this day, to look at past trends in order to inform future decisions. As treasurer, my intention is to ensure each board member has, on a monthly basis, a line item accounting of what remains in the budget, so they are able to make informed decisions when spending tax dollars.

What kind of promises will you make and keep to the citizens of Bureau County: I will make one simple yet important promise. I will work each day as your treasurer to ensure the safety of the public funds entrusted to me. That means, I will strive each day to earn and keep your trust.

Courtney Yates-Mabry Position for which you are running: Bureau County Treasurer.

Political party: Republican.

Town of residence: Princeton.

Where you work now: Bureau County Treasurer’s Office.

Age: 32.

Education: Bureau Valley High School.

Experience: Bureau

County Treasurer’s Office, eight years; Bureau County Circuit Clerk’s Office, two years; Citizens First National Bank, Princeton, Ill., two years; Amsouth Bank, Fort Myers, Fla., one year.

What are your Top 3 goals, if you are elected: One goal is to generate a website for residents and taxpayers to obtain information about the treasurer’s office. I believe this service will greatly improve residents’ convenience when searching for information.

Another goal will be to look into options for taxpayers to pay their taxes.

As of late, there have been several requests for a debit/credit card payment option at the treasurer’s office. Offering this service would be another way to add convenience for our taxpayers.

If elected, I plan to run the treasurer’s office with the same efficiency and precision the residents of Bureau County have come to expect.

In what ways will you be fiscally responsible to taxpayers: As Bureau County Treasurer, I will ensure our taxpayers’ funds will be properly invested and diversified in local, lowrisk financial institutions.

Traditionally, our treasurer’s office has been operated in this manner, and it is the best way to secure our county’s funds.

What changes will you make if you are elected: As stated above, I plan to focus on improving tech-

nology in order to add to the convenience of taxpayers. In today’s busy world, a simple website offering information regarding the treasurer’s office, along with adding a debit/credit card payment option would improve the experience of our residents. Other than those items, I plan to keep the treasurer’s office running as taxpayers have become accustomed.

Why should voters cast their ballots for you: Based on my level and wide range of experience working in the treasurer’s office, I believe I am the best candidate for this position. I love the challenge that comes with serving the requests of our residents and meeting new people that walk through our doors. I am truly passionate about my job, and feel confident in my ability to fulfill the job of Bureau County Treasurer.

What kind of promises will you make and keep to the citizens of Bureau County: As Bureau County Treasurer, I promise to keep the interests of residents and taxpayers first and foremost of importance and uphold the values my predecessor has set for this position. I have no other political aspirations or agendas other than to serve the residents of Bureau County as their treasurer as my full-time occupation; I plan to be hands-on and fully dedicated to serving the residents of Bureau County.

From Page 1 Investment income may be increased through a policy of diversifying the county’s investments.

In what ways will you be fiscally responsible to taxpayers: The county treasurer is responsible for seeing that the county’s bills are paid in a timely manner.

As part of that responsibility, the treasurer is supposed to only pay bills that have been approved for payment by law or by the county board. As treasurer, I will ensure that payment of bills will only be made after the county board approves their payment at the monthly county board meeting.

What changes will you make if you are elected: As your treasurer, I will see to it: That each county board member is provided a monthly accounting of each line item in the county budget; that the county’s financial information is placed online to provide transparency and ease of access for any county resident wishing to examine those records; and that county bills will only be paid after authorization by the county board at their monthly meeting.

Why should voters cast their ballots for you: I have a proven record of being a responsible leader through my time on the county board, as a volunteer and in my profession.

Each day, my goal is to

PRINCETON — The annual Coats for Kids drive has kicked off this season with a goal to collect at least 250 coats for those in need this winter.

The Bureau County Food Pantry has again teamed up with Kramer’s Kitchen and Service Master Restoration DSI to help with the collection.

“For the food pantry this is important because it’s an unmet need in our community, and so we’re stepping up to meet that need,” Vanessa Hoffeditz, Director of the Bureau County Food Pantry, explained. “We know the families who are struggling to make ends meet with their food needs are also struggling to be able to purchase the coats, hats and gloves for the winter.”

The coat drive will accept any new or gently used coat, hats or gloves for children K-8th grade.

Hoffeditz said junior

sizes will also be accepted for the eighth graders needing those larger sizes.

The drive ends on Nov. 14.

“It’s our hope that if we get 250 coats that we will be able to serve that many children,” Hoffeditz said.

“And if we do have some left over we do contact the schools because sometimes midway through the winter they may get students who come in without coats or students who come without gloves or hats. Anything that’s donated is put to good use.”

The coats will be distributed to families shortly following the collection’s end date.

Coats can be dropped off at Kramer’s Kitchen or at the Bureau County Food Pantry, located at 1019 N. Main St. Monetary donations will also be accepted for the coat drive. They can be dropped off at the food pantry.

In other business at Wednesday’s board meeting, Superintendent Kirk Haring expressed great pride in his FFA students who have managed to

secure approval on a land lease agreement with the Princeton City Council.

“The FFA is a very active and dedicated group of young men and women,” Haring said.

“FFA sponsor Dan Foes and (students) Jacob Bickett, Cole Wright and Luke Schultz initiated the land lease discussion and since then have worked tirelessly researching all aspects leasing and farming the land. The FFA students are fully supplied and able to use temporarily donated equipment.”

Through the standard

lease agreement, the FFA will be allowed to farm approximately 19 acres in the Princeton Technology Park, located on the northeast corner of Princeton. The crops will be split 50/50 and the FFA will cover the normal and customary liability insurance, Haring said.

“This is an opportunity for them to be involved in all decisions of farming, which will provide them an opportunity that not all high school students are afforded,” Haring said.

SV man pleads guilty to burglary PRINCETON — A Spring Valley man has entered an open plea of guilty in Bureau County Court to the Class 2 felony of burglary.

Alexis M. Davis, 30, entered his open plea of guilty on Oct. 2 before Associate Circuit Judge Cornelius J. Hollerich. The judge ordered the probation department to conduct a pre-sentence investigation and file it with the court. Davis was represented in court by LaSalle attorney Louis Bertrand. Prosecuting the case was State’s Attorney Patrick Herrmann.

On June 27, the Princeton Wal-Mart called the Princeton Police Department after determining they had been the vic-

tim of a crime. A security video showed an individual entering the Princeton Wal-Mart on June 18, and removing a pot and pan set from the store shelf. The person immediately went to customer service and obtained a gift card refund even though the merchandise was not paid for.

Following an investigation by the Princeton Police Department with the assistance of Peru Police Department, it was determined that the defendant was the individual who had committed the offense of theft. Because the defendant entered the store with the intent to commit a theft, he was charged with burglary.

This and that Sometimes my life is so crazy I just can’t settle down to concentrate on one topic. Hard as I try, my mind resembles a beehive with all the worker bees going in opposite direction — hopefully to accomplish a common goal — but not always. I’ve stared at this blank screen long enough, so rather than attempt to write on a single topic, I just decided to give you a glimpse of what a day in the life of Terri’s Simon’s mind might be like. Fasten your seat belts, my friends ...

••• I’m still thinking about the Women of Distinction Awards luncheon we hosted on Oct. 16. It was a wonderful day, fun, emotional and inspiring. Keynote speaker Kathy O’Malley did a fantastic job, as always. Her message was about “Girlfriends,” and she strongly suggested we not let life get in they way of maintaining those friendships we’ve built throughout the years. As she suggested that day, I went home that night and texted some faraway friends who I seldom see and told them I Terri Simon was thinking about them, reminding them how much they mean to me. Give it a try. It’s worth the effort. Thanks, Kath.

••• Tuesday evening’s Candidates’ Forum was a great way for all of us to get to know our candidates for the upcoming Bureau County Treasurer and Sheriff races. Not only was it educational, but I was totally impressed with the 200 people who cared enough to come to learn about our candidates. Congrats to the candidates who did a great job, and a huge round of applause to those who came to the event.

••• My mom’s birthday was Thursday. We spent the entire day together, and nothing could have been more fun and rewarding for me. We talked, we shopped, we laughed, we ate ... most of all, we enjoyed each other’s company and spent some much needed time together.

••• New BCR Staff Writer Zita Henneberry started this week, jumping in head-first and not looking back. We are excited to have Zita on board. Her insight, determination and willingness to deliver the news to you, our readers, is admirable. It’s fun to see someone join our editorial family and look at situations with fresh eyes.

••• This one is wearing on my heart ... As most of you already know, BCR Senior Staff Writer Donna Barker has officially announced her retirement. While I’m absolutely happy for her, we will miss her terribly ... I could go on and on, but I’ll save that for another column.

••• My dear friend, former Princeton resident Janelle Beltramini, was back in town, and we had the opportunity to spend some time together. It’s never long enough, but we picked up right where we left off the last time we got together. After we parted ways, it was obvious our friendship will be one that lasts a lifetime.

••• Former BCR Design Editor Greg Wallace stopped in the newsroom this week. Despite his new job that includes the use of power tools, he still has all his appendages. It was good to see Greg ... especially intact.

We miss him.

••• In a weak moment, our puppy, 6-month-old Purrcee, chewed through her relatively new leash while we weren’t looking. I’m sure she did so with a smile on her face because she proudly brought the leash to us to show her handiwork.

••• Emails from faraway friends this week brought laughter, worry and feelings of relief.

••• Work projects: A special bridal section, a pet brochure, three newspapers, the upcoming election, a thee-part series on unsolved mysteries in the Illinois Valley by Goldie Currie and Shannon Serpette, Halloween, the Veteran’s Day section, the Illinois Valley Scene and the winter edition of Illinois Valley Living. (I’m sure I’ve forgotten something.)

••• I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Crazy days, crazier week, craziest life. Welcome to my world.

Richard Widmark: A Princeton legend Richard Widmark Encounters — Common Ground

By Bartlett Kassabaum

Special to the BCR I should be relating Part 3 of Mary (Ogorman) Barr to you in this column, but I am waiting for information to come from Sioux Falls, S.D., to finish the telling of her story. We can take a break from that with an anecdote related to me in my search for the true story of Richard Widmark. I’ll finish up with Richard’s grandmother when I have the information.

I think I had a fairly ordinary childhood that was probably just like any boys, growing up in a small Midwest town like Granville.

My friends and I did anything and everything you would expect from boys in the 1950s in a rural community. We played backyard and playground baseball, basketball and football, drank a lot of pop, rode bikes, camped, hiked, sledded until we froze in the winter, fought, and smoked our first cigarettes and corncob pipes.

One of my best friends in early grade school was Roger Eggers.

Charlie Jones was his older brother by five years. Roger and Charlie, Jack Ossola, sometimes his sisters Marilyn and Joyce, Louie Anders, sometimes the Hartman clan, and my older brother, Craig, and I, did all kinds of dumb kid stuff with whoever else in the neighborhood wanted to get involved. It never crossed my mind that one of these childhood pals would tell me a story of Richard Widmark. I ran into Charlie and his wife, Sharon, at Menards the other day and listened to this tale.

In late 1968 to December 1970, while I was serving my hitch in the U.S. Army, Charlie, Sharon and their two children, David and Debbie, lived in California. They were encouraged by Sharon’s father, Walt Lindsey, who lived in Canogo Park, Calif., to make the move from Granville. Canogo Park is northwest of Los Angeles. They took root in Thousand Oaks, to the west of Canogo Park and northeast of Hidden Valley by about nine miles.

Charlie found employment right away with Ted Smith Aircraft Co. where they made six-passenger planes, but the job folded after three months when the company moved to Texas. He then got a job with Coast Pool Service, cleaning swimming pools. He worked for Coast Pool Service for eight months and had a regular route. Richard Widmark lived in both Hidden Valley, Calif., and Roxbury, Conn., at the time, and Hidden Valley was on Charlie’s regular route. Hidden Valley is an unincorporated community in the Santa Monica Mountains in southeastern Ventura County.

Charlie tried to clean two pools every hour or so, and he did each pool about twice a month. He cleaned Richard Widmark’s pool at least a dozen times when he worked for Coast Pool Service. He usually had to deal with Widmark’s ranch foreman when he did their pool. The foreman mentioned to Charlie that if he did run into Mr. Widmark, not to make a big thing out of it because the actor didn’t like people “going ape” when meeting him. He was just an ordi-

nary guy who happened to make movies.

Richard Widmark was into the last third of his movie career but still made four movies while Charlie Jones was living in California.

Widmark made two films in 1969; “A Talent for Loving,” a western spoof, and “Death of a Gunfighter,” an offbeat western with Lena Horne as his love interest. It has a take in it reminiscent of that great scene in “Two Rode Together” (1961), with Widmark and James Stewart smokin’ and chawin’ along the water. The year was 1969 that Charlie did his eight months cleaning swimming pools. Making movies on location and living on both coasts made it unlikely that Richard Widmark, from Princeton, Illinois, would cross paths with Charlie Jones, from Granville, Illinois.

Charlie was finishing up one day and loading up his truck. It was Charlie’s own personal truck, a 1961 Ford F100 shortbed with C.W. Jones & Son, Granville, Illinois, on the doors. He had to use his own truck and gas on the job. That’s why he tried to set a pace of two pools every hour or so. He had to make a living. He usually had magnetic signs with Coast Pool Service on the sides of the doors, but he took them off when he did Widmark’s pool. Charlie knew Richard Widmark was from Princeton.

His mom, June (Webster) Jones, Eggers, who was three years behind Widmark in the Princeton school system, told him this when he was a kid. She was the sister of William Webster Sr. of Princeton. June was married twice, and her second husband, Roger Eggers Sr., was the brother of former Princeton Police Chief George Eggers.

Charlie saw a tall athletic man with suntanned features walk out of the house as he was putting some hose in the truck bed. The ranch house was weathered cedar, and the man coming toward him was a shirtless and weathered Richard Widmark, not the foreman. Charlie remembers Widmark looked like he worked out and was in real good shape “for an older guy.” Charlie was close to 27, and Richard Widmark was 54.

“Hey, I just wanted to tell you what a great job you’ve been doing with the pool,” Widmark said walking up to Charlie. “My foreman says you always do a good job, and it’s always nice when we’re home and want to use it. Thanks, a lot,” Widmark said shaking Charlie’s hand.

“Thanks, I try to do my best,” said Charlie, trying to keep it low

key.

Widmark smiled, “Well thanks again” nodded, looked at the truck door, nodded again and headed toward the barn.

“See ya, Jones,” Widmark said, walking away. Charlie watched him blur into the sunlit haze of the barn, finished packing, got in his truck and headed to his next stop.

Charlie, told me, as he finished his story, “Widmark didn’t have to come out and say a word to me.

He paid for and was suppose to get good service, but he came out just the same and told me personally what a good job I did. It said a lot about the guy. He didn’t say a word about my being from Granville, but maybe he knew. He took a good look at the truck door. Who knows?”

Charlie told me he had Bing Russell on his route also. Bing was an actor, baseball club owner and father of actor Kurt Russell. Kurt was on the verge of being Disney’s biggest star in 1969. If Charlie would have stayed on a while longer he would have had Dean Martin’s pool to clean.

Charlie went to work for his wife’s uncle next, who was a contractor in the area, and then in December of 1970, the Jones family moved back to Granville. My old friend Roger Eggers, Charlie’s younger brother, survived a tour in Vietnam, came home and died in a car accident in 1971. He rests in Oakland Cemetery in Princeton along with his mom.

Charlie and Sharon still live in Granville today, married 50 years next year. Charlie liked it when I told him Widmark was married to his first wife for 55 years until her death in 1997. He said it spoke a lot about the man.

Charlie said he still had his first dollar, a 1921 Morgan his grandfather gave him, his first car, a 1948 Ford convertible he restored, and or course, his first wife, Sharon, still in mint condition.

Sharon smiled, gave me a hug, and I shook hands with Charlie Jones. I headed home thinking Charlie had some real common ground with Richard Widmark and boy, it really is a small world.

Sometimes it’s all right in your own back yard.

Harvest time is here It’s harvest time on the family farm.

Weaning time is here and the calves have been separated from their mom.

Dad’s cows are grazing the combined corn fields. Now the calves are being preconditioned for sale at the local sale barn.

Calves become bunk broke, which means they will come up to the bunk and start eating once the food has been placed in the bunk. The calves are put on a comprehensive vaccination health program and won’t become sick as easily, all of this process is called preconditioning. If the calves are fed for at least 45 days they will have gain more weight; this is good with the prices that the cattle industry is having at this time.

We in the Midwest and the cattle producers in the west have two very different ways on how they deal with their weaned calves.

I was able to sit down and interview my pastor, Eldon Cook, about a cattle round up he took part of, in the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming. There he helped round up at least 700 head of cattle with calves from five different areas on the stock ground to be taken down to the ranch for the calves to be weaned.

The cattle are pushed down a path that is about 30 miles long to the ranch.

Before the cows and calves head down the path, the cows that don’t have calves and the cows with younger calves are separated from the herd and driven back up to the pastures. Waiting at the farm is a brand inspector to make sure the brands on the cattle belong to that farmer. Each cow and calf must have a farm brand before they are able to go to pasture. This is for liability in case something happens to an animal.

Once the brand inspector has checked all the brands, the calves are weaned and loaded onto a waiting semi to take the calves to the sale barn to be sold.

After the calves are weaned, the cows are driven back up the path to the mountains with the pastures. The cows will stay there until the bad weather sets in and then they make their own way down to the farm for the winter.

Show season ended for me early September at the Sandwich Fair. The Sandwich Fair draws a lot of fair goers from Chicago and adjoining suburbs. These folks don’t know a lot about agriculture but are always asking good questions, and I like to educate them about agriculture.

Kaitlyn Hildebrand COMMENTARY

On the last day of the fair I like to take one of my heifers and stand under a nice shady tree and teach them about the cattle. Many people ask questions and take the opportunity to touch and take pictures with the heifer.

I try my best to answer the questions, but there is still people who what to point out the negatives of agriculture.

When these questions are asked, I talk to them as nicely as I can.

My dad even got into the action of supplying information to the public. He was able to talk to a couple of farmers from Ireland. They were comparing and contrasting how our farming methods differ from theirs. You know farmers; they talk and talk and talk ...

The first of October I received my premium from the state of Illinois for the two sixth-place finishes that my heifers won at the state fair. This $7 I received was made possible by the tax payers of Illinois. I thank all of you hard workers for this.

I have already started preparing for next year’s show season. I have picked out my home raised heifers and steers and I went out and bought a heifer to show. Halters are already on and have already been off again.

I’m even building a pasture out of our old hay field for the animals to run in.

This will help improve their walk and make them stretch more.

The farm has also been preparing for winter. Silage has been chopped and the last cutting of hay has been baled and put away for the winter. Silage is the whole plant including the ear that has been chopped. The silage is then put in a 200-foot long silage bag to be stored for the winter. The silage bag looks like a big white sausage lying in the field.

Now, until it is my next time to write to the folks of Bureau County, remember: beef roast done in a crock pot or a beef soup bone simmered in vegetable soup is just as good during fall and winter as steaks on the grill in summer.

USDA, FSA announces dates for farm bill safety net programs WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced key dates for farm owners and producers to keep in mind regarding the new 2014 Farm Bill established programs, Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC). The new programs, designed to help producers better manage risk, usher in one of the most significant reforms to U.S. farm programs in decades.

“The ARC and PLC programs are a significant reform in the farm safety net,” said Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Val Dolcini. “FSA wants to keep producers well informed on all steps in the process. We will continue our outreach efforts and

maintain resources online to help them understand the new programs before they come in to make decisions for their operations.”

Dates associated with ARC and PLC that farm owners and producers need to know: • Sept. 29 to Feb. 27, 2015: Land owners may visit their local Farm Service Agency office to update yield history and/ or reallocate base acres.

• Nov. 17 to March 31, 2015: Producers make a one-time election of either ARC or PLC for the 2014 through 2018 crop years.

• Mid-April through summer 2015: Producers sign contracts for 2014 and 2015 crop years.

• October 2015: Payments for 2014 crop year, if needed.

USDA leaders will visit with producers across the country to share information and answer questions on the ARC and PLC programs.

USDA helped create online tools to assist in the decision process, allowing farm owners and producers to enter information about their operation and see projections that show what ARC and/or PLC will mean for them under possible future scenarios. The new tools are now available at www.fsa.usda.gov/ arc-plc. Farm owners and producers can access the online resources from the convenience of their home computer or mobile device at any time. USDA provided $3 million to the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI)

at the University of Missouri and the Agricultural and Food Policy Center (AFPC) at Texas A&M (co-leads for the National Association of Agricultural and Food Policy), along with the University of Illinois (lead for the National Coalition for Producer Education) to develop these online tools.

Covered commodities include barley, canola, large and small chickpeas, corn, crambe, flaxseed, grain sorghum, lentils, mustard seed, oats, peanuts, dry peas, rapeseed, long grain rice, medium

ical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk management tools; expanding access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative public-private conservation partnerships; developing new markets for rural-made products; and investing in infrastructure, housing and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America.

BCR game of the Week

khieronymus@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Princeton scored early, but Jake Merkel and Hall scored often Friday at Bryant Field.

Merkel scored four touchdowns to lead the Red Devils to a runaway 65-28 win over the Tigers in the 2014 regular season and Three Rivers finale. For the Red Devils, it stamped their seventh win of the season to improve their playoff seeding which will be determined Saturday evening.

“It’s been the goal the past four weeks to get to 7-2 and win out and get to where we needed to be. They finished up well tonight,” Hall coach Randy Tieman said. “The kids came out and made a statement.”

At a glance: Jake Merkel scored four touchdowns and QB Drew Pullam threw for 348 yards and six touchdowns as the Red Devils roll into the playoffs at 7-2. “(7-2) is all they talked about making the playoffs and helping us with our playoff seed. Trying to get a better game and hopefully at home,” Merkel said.

Merkel had a night he said he could have never dreamed of, scoring in three different ways — offensively, defensively and special teams. He scored on two pass receptions (47 and 37 yards), by

punt return (35 yards) and by an interception return (35 yards).

“This is probably my best game in awhile I’ve had,” Merkel said, thinking back to his younger days. “It was a great game.

I never expected that. I don’t know, fun time.”

Fun time indeed.

Describing the punt return, Merkel said, “Once I saw the ball bounce, I just took my chance. I

noticed when I got to the right side, I had a bunch of guys blocking. They did a great job. and I was able to score from there.

“On the interception, I saw the ball up and went after it,” he added.

Kai Tomaszewski got the Tigers on the board first, racing 44 yards to give the Tigers a 7-0 lead at the 5:59 mark of the first quarter.

He also ran for a 42-yard score late in the second quarter.

There was too many Hall touchdowns in between for the Tigers to stay in the game.

The Red Devil parade started when junior quarterback Drew Pullam connected with Julian Barroso on a seven-yard pass with 9:37 left in the second quarter.

Halm, Bruins roll past Sherrard

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

SHERRARD — The St. Bede Academy Bruins and Sam Halm played the spoilers for Sherrard’s Senior Night as the Bruins dominated their opponent 53-26 in Sherrard to clinch a playoff berth.

Senior end and defensive back Sam Halm was everywhere on the field as he played a major role in the win recovering two fumbles, intercepting two Sher-

rard passes, recording a blocked punt and catching one touchdown with over 100 yards receiving.

“He’s had two good weeks in a row. He’s a great athlete and he’s coming into his own. We look for him to do that because he’s been a three-year starter for us,” SBA coach John Bellino said.

The Bruins will take a 6-3 record into the playoffs, awaiting their playoff assignment Saturday night.

Junior back Baylee Hopps came out of nowhere in the

first quarter, scoring three touchdowns on runs of 12, 21 and six yards to give SBA an 18-6 lead after one quarter.

The Bruins extended their lead 24-6 on a oneyard pitch to senior back Justin Shaw at 7:37 of the second.

SBA struck again four minutes later as senior quarterback Jack Brady found sophomore receiver Braidy Shipp down the left sideline for a 38-yard

Notebook

Colmones, EPG repeat at state

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Ken Colmone’s El Paso-Gridley golf team won their second straight IHSA Class 1A Boys state golf championship.

The Titans defeated Winnetka North Shore Country Day for the second straight season for the title, this time by 10 strokes (619-629).

Colmone, a 1981 graduate of Hall High School, said the Titans had a target on their back this season unlike last year when they kind of flew under the radar.

“This was a great accomplishment for our team and program.

It’s tough enough to win one state championship, but to win two is extra special,” he said. “It’s tough to even describe, and I’m not sure that it has really sank in yet. It shows the hard work and dedication that our kids put into their golf games. They came to practice every night ready to work.

“We constantly used the phrase, ‘Are there any other teams working as hard as we are today?’ They have been working all season with one goal in mind.”

Colmone’s son Kyle, is a senor

“Having Kyle on the team was another special moment in my life, and it felt great to be able to share this moment with him.”

Ken Colmone member of the team. They are believed to be one of only five father-son tandems to win a state championship in any sport in Illinois. Another, who also did it twice, included the late Manual basketball coach Wayne McClain, who passed away last week, and his son, Sergio.

“Having Kyle on the team was another special moment in my life, and it felt great to be able to share this moment with him,” Ken Colmone said. “I was very proud of him the entire season. He battled all season long and posted solid scores throughout the year. We have three seniors, Kyle being one, that I will miss greatly in our program. It will be a little tougher next season with-

out Kyle being there.”

The EPG team is headed by twins Michael and Brandon Mounce. Naturally, the twins tied for third place individually with identical 148s.

EPG has not lost a dual or triangular meet in three years. EPG was state runner-up in 2012 to North Shore.

Bima ripped the nets for 10 kills with Christine Perona and Dudek (4 blocks) adding six each and Sam Whalen five.

Julia Pohar had 10 points with two aces and 21 digs. Whalen added 16

to Parker Neuhalfen to pace the BV offense. The Storm’s other scores came on runs of 11 yards by Will Konneck and 8 yards by Tommy Johnston.

Michael Pidde, Trey Simmons and Sweenie scored on short runs for Fulton. Simmons got the Steamers on the board first with a 75-yard kickoff return midway through the first quarter.

Bureau Valley (4-5) likely would have been a playoff qualifier if it could have reached five wins. Instead, the program’s playoff drought is now at four seasons.

“They’re a good team,” Simmons said. “I’ve got to give it to them, but we just wanted it more tonight.”

Bruins From Page 13 touchdown reception and a 32-6 lead.

A six-yard TD scamper with 58.9 left in the first half by senior back Dexter Baker was quickly countered by the Tigers as sophomore receiver Luke Kissner got behind the SBA defense as time ran out in the to make the

SBA lead 39-12 at the half.

The teams combined to score three touchdowns in a 46-second span from 10:57 to 10:11 of the fourth quarter.

Sherrard struck first on a one-yard run by senior running back Nathan Kelly.

Brady and Halm connected on a 53-yard toss and catch moments later, which was immediately, answered Swanson and junior receiver Blake

Lampo on a 65-yard bomb to cut the SBA lead 46-26.

“Defensively we played alright. When you play against a team that is passing it like that and their boy did a nice job tonight, they made some nice catches, you’re going to give up some points,” Bellino said.

Shaw added the final score of the evening as he streaked down the sideline for a 45-yard comple-

tion, which was Brady’s third touchdown toss of the evening.

“Right now we just want to get healthy,”Bellino said. “We’re banged up a little bit. We’ve got some ankle troubles. I think we’ve just got to get on the same page but we’ll be ready to go on Monday.”

• The St. Bede sophs won 32-12 to finish 8-1.

“I have no idea. I’ve heard so many things. Whoever we get we just got to get ready for.” • Randy Tieman

Red Devils From Page 13 Merkel scored twice and Tyler Taber raced for a 61-yard score to put the Red Devils up 28-7 with three minutes left before half.

“Once we started passing, Drew was right on and our lineman held up and able to give him time to throw the ball and we just executed from there,” Merkel said.

“We saw some things on offense we could get away with. We had a little more speed on them on the edges. So we got some kids open and they made some plays for us,” Tieman said.

The Red Devils led by as much as 61-21 when Christian Smith scored on a 9-yard run to put the running clock into effect with 9:21 left to play.

“They did a nice job on defense and did a very nice answering back on offense.

We just didn’t step up in certain situation to make the plays. They took advantage of the opportunities they had,” PHS coach Jesse Snyder said.

On the heels of a 20-game losing streak, Snyder said the Tigers made “a lot of great strides the past three years and we’ve got to con-

Pullam connected on 21 of 28 passes for 348 yards and six TDs. Merkel and Barroso each had two TD catches and A.J. Gaeta and Tyler Taber had one each.

The Red Devils will meet at the Moose Lodge in Ladd Saturday night to watch the playoff pairing show to see who and when they will play next. Tieman, whose team reached the second round of the playoffs last year, said he has no idea who they will draw.

“I’ve heard so many things. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, the IHSA will change it.

Whoever we get we just got to get ready for,” Tieman said.

• Notes: The PHS sophomores (3-6) finished on a winning note with a 28-6 win over the Red Demons.

Kendile Whitford scored all four touchdowns including 45- and 25-yard scores. ... PHS quarterback Jake Reinhardt caught his own first-quarter pass for a sixyard reception when the ball deflected off of a Hall defender.
