Voters to have their say ...

Constitutional amendments, advisory questions are on the ballot

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

The minimum wage in Illinois, the rights of victims of crimes, and more taxes on millionaires are

three of the five statewide issues on which Illinois voters will have their say when they head to the polls next week.

Bureau County Clerk Kami Hieronymus said the two proposed con-

The race for sheriff: Reed and Beaber Editor’s note: The Bureau County Republican asked Bureau County Sheriff candidates to fill out a questionnaire. Following are their responses.

Allan K. Beaber Position for which you are running: Bureau County Sheriff.

Political party: Republican.

Town of residence: Princeton.

Age: 61.

Education: Attended Princeton Elementary Schools and graduated Princeton High School in 1971. Attended and graduated from University of Illinois Police Training Institute. Attended and graduated from Northwestern University Executive Management for Police Administrators.

Experience: 39 years of police experience: 36 years city of Princeton — 23 years as patrolman, 13 years as deputy chief, 2 years interim chief; and 3 years Bureau County Sheriff’s Department.

What are the Top 3 goals, if you are elected: 1. My first priority is the safety of all of the citizens of Bureau County. You, the citizen, have placed your trust and safety, and moreover the safety of your family in our hands, and that is a trust that WE WILL NEVER TAKE LIGHTLY. The Bureau County Sheriffs Department will provide each and every citizen with the best possible protection and service, while ensuring you and your family will have a safe environment in which to live. The sheriff’s department will be a proactive, not a reactive type of police department. Preparation and Year 168 No. 129 One Section - 16 Pages

stitutional amendments on the Nov. 4 ballot are binding if approved by the voters. The first constitutional amendment would expand upon certain rights of victims already granted, such as the right to be notified in situations concerning their case.

The second constitutional amendment would prohibit any law that affects

the rights of eligible people from registering to vote or cast a ballot.

If the constitutional amendments are approved by the voters, the legislators are then authorized to go forward with the process of amending the constitution, Hieronymus said.

Unlike the constitutional amendment questions,

the three advisory questions on the Nov. 4 ballot are not binding.

“Advisory questions are strictly that, advisory,” Hieronymus said. “It’s a way to get the general public’s opinion on an issue, but the results do not tie the legislators to follow that opinion.”

However, it would be difficult for a legislator to

try to go against the general public’s opinion, Hieronymus said.

The first advisory question asks if the state’s minimum wage should be raised to $10 for those workers over the age of 18.

Currently, the minimum wage is $8.25.

Food pantry gears up for Thanksgiving baskets

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The time is drawing near ... the holiday season is quickly approaching.

With only four Fridays until Thanksgiving, the local food pantries are prepping their lists as they gather food items and monetary donations for the annual Thanksgiving food baskets.

This year, the Tri-Counties Opportunities Council food pantry will provide 200 baskets to families in need.

“We do this service because we know there are families out there where an average Thanksgiving meal is an added expense for them. If you’re trying to stretch those extra food dollars, that’s often something you don’t have money to purchase,” Director Vanessa Hoffeditz explained. “So we’re fortunate we’re able to offer this for the families.”

The extra cost to supply baskets to 200 families last year totaled around $3,000, Hoffeditz said.

“That cost included everything we needed to make a full Thanksgiving

meal,” she added.

From the turkey to the green bean casserole, instant potatoes and a pumpkin pie for each family, the box was a complete Thanksgiving feast.

The food pantry is looking for donations to help meet this year’s need, as well. Whether it’s monetary donations or food items for the baskets, the donations will be helpful and much appreciated.

Those who currently use the food pantry will qualify for a Thanksgiving food basket. Those who currently do not receive items at the food pantry

are asked to stop in at the pantry and show proof they live within the service area. A piece of mail with a current address, along with a photo identification must be presented.

The food pantry is open for food distribution from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

The food pantry is located at 1019 N. Main St. in Princeton.

The Thanksgiving food basket distribution will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Nov. 25.

What happened to Veronica Blumhorst?

Young Mendota woman vanished in 1990

By Goldie Currie and Shannon Serpette news@bcrnews.com

Editor’s note: This is the second story in a threepart series about unsolved mysteries in the Illinois Valley.

MENDOTA — Veronica Blumhorst had just finished a late shift at the Supervalu grocery store on Sept. 20, 1990.

Before leaving, she rented the movie, “Stella,” which she planned to watch the following day. She and a co-worker walked out to their cars together. The co-worker witnessed Veronica pull away in her Chevrolet Corsica and head toward home — four blocks away.

It was the last definitive sighting of the 21-year-old Mendota woman.

The nightmare begins The following morning, Veronica’s family spotted her car parked in the unattached garage.

“I had told my son, Todd, that Veronica would take him to school that day,” remembers Veronica’s father, Paul.

When Todd discovered his sister was not home, he called his dad, who was finishing a shift at the fire station.

Together they figured Veronica had forgotten to take her brother to school and went out to breakfast with her boyfriend. Paul told Todd to drive himself to school.

A while later, Paul returned home and noticed Veronica was still not there. It was only around 10 a.m., so there was no reason to suspect anything out of the ordinary.

It wasn’t until Veronica’s boyfriend called asking to speak with her that Paul began worrying in earnest about Veronica.

He decided to drive to nearby Van Orin to see if Veronica had decided to visit her sister but found out she hadn’t when he arrived.

In the meantime, Veronica’s boyfriend drove to the Blumhorst residence.

After speaking with a neighbor, he decided to call police and report her missing.

By the time Paul made

the trip back from Van Orin, the police were already at his home. It was just before 11 a.m. at that point — less than 10 hours after Veronica was last seen.

Sgt. David Lawson, who had just joined the Mendota Police Department months before that day, remembers her disappearance well.

“She was just nowhere to be seen,” he recalls.

Neither was the movie she rented, the purse she carried, the glasses she wore or the keys she would have been carrying to unlock the family’s back door.

A search party ensued, but no trace of Veronica was found.

With no signs of a struggle or foul play, no other missing girls in the area and no ransom note, authorities had to consider the possibility Veronica ran away.

“So many things run through your head,” Lawson said. “I don’t know what the family dynamics were at home.”

Police also considered the possibility that Veronica was seeing someone on the side.

“Did she have another boyfriend?” Lawson said.

Interviews with Veronica’s friends and co-workers were conducted.

Veronica’s boyfriend was also questioned, but he eventually asked for an attorney. After that, police weren’t able to obtain any other useful information and didn’t have the evidence to charge him with anything.

Another stumbling block in the investigation was Veronica had been adopted, which made it hard for DNA purposes. Lawson said police attempted to unseal Veronica’s adoption papers but never could get a court order from a judge.

What was helpful, however, was Veronica’s extensive dental work, which made her records unique. The records have since been added to a national database and can be used for comparison if an unidentified female body is uncovered.

Following Veronica’s disappearance, Mendota

Blumhorst Police received numerous tips from people who thought they’d spotted Veronica.

“We got a lot of sightings at truck stops, in stores and highways,” Lawson said.

After investigating them, none turned out to be the real Veronica. Lawson said as the years went on, leads dried up, but the search hasn’t stopped.

Life without closure Although Veronica vanished without a trace 24 years ago, her memory looms large for those who knew her.

Her family, devastated by her disappearance, has continued to search for her. They maintain a Facebook page called Remember Veronica Jill Blumhorst, which has more than 1,400 members. Her family hopes keeping her memory alive will generate new leads, or perhaps the perpetrator — the family does not believe Veronica is alive — will develop a conscience and confess.

The family’s dedication to recovering Veronica have supplied the only leads in the past several years. The family contacted psychics to see if they could provide any information about what had happened to Veronica.

Famed Illinois psychic, Greta Alexander, was one of the psychics involved.

Alexander, now deceased, had built a solid reputation as a psychic, helping various police departments locate missing bodies.

Alexander directed Veronica’s family from where she was last seen to a nature preserve area at Bartlett Woods/Knox Grove in Lee County, southeast of Sublette.

“We had a couple of psychics that, as far as we knew, had never been to Mendota. Both of them

directed us to that area,” said Paul, who now lives in Yuma, Ariz.

Cadaver dogs have been brought to that site multiple times, and they have had hits there, indicating there are signs of a cadaver possibility. The most recent search, just last month, was the first search there that included the authorities. The Lee County Sheriff’s Department, Illinois State Police Crime Scene Investigations Unit and the Mendota Police Department were all involved.

Because the search took place on a nature preserve, there were specific rules authorities were forced to follow, making the work much more difficult.

“We couldn’t remove anything. We couldn’t cut down anything,” Lawson said. “No machinery was allowed. Everything was searched by hand. They did core samples every foot.”

Despite the hits from the dogs, no human remains were found. But just because the dogs had a hit doesn’t mean a body is there, Lawson said.

“They say it (the hit) could be as small as hair,” he said.

The hits also aren’t necessarily coming from Veronica — Native Americans could have settled there previously or deceased wagon travelers could have been buried there, Lawson said.

As of right now, there’s no plans to go back there, he added.

Lawson still holds out hope Veronica left of her own volition — although he acknowledges there hadn’t been any indications she would.

“We never had any instances in which she’d

Do you have any information on this case?

The case is still open and police will hunt any given tips.

If you have any leads or tips for the Mendota Police Department, call 815-539-9331 and ask to speak with Lt. Greg Kellen.

run away,” Lawson said.

Paul is adamant, however, Veronica would not have run away.

“She had probably less than 10 dollars in her billfold. The next day was pay day. She hadn’t touched her savings,” he said.

In addition, the movie rental casts doubt on the runaway theory. There would be no point to renting a movie if she had plans to run away that night, he said.

With how kind-hearted Veronica was and how close the family was, there was no way Veronica would simply vanish and let her family agonize over her whereabouts for years, he said.

As for the possibility of Veronica juggling relationships with other men behind her boyfriend’s back, Paul said that wasn’t the case.

Veronica had been seeing her boyfriend for two years. Although she had dated other guys in the past, none had been serious.

Even though Veronica was quite taken with her boyfriend, Paul wasn’t as enamored.

“I had my doubts. Let’s put it that way,” he said.

“But she seemed to be happy with him.”

They had even talked of marriage down the road, he said. Veronica and her

boyfriend hadn’t been having any fights at the time of her disappearance, according to Paul.

But he did find the boyfriend’s behavior strange following Veronica’s disappearance.

For instance, the fact the boyfriend contacted police raised a red flag in Paul’s mind.

“I thought it was very odd (the boyfriend and a neighbor had called the police),” Paul said.

His subsequent behavior was also a little unusual, according to Paul.

“The boyfriend stayed at our place for three days after,” Paul said. “Every time the phone rang he would try and answer it.”

Punishing the person who took Veronica away from the Blumhorst family is not the family’s priority.

“If the person who did it would contact me and say this is where Veronica is located, I don’t care if they are punished,” Paul said. “I feel like the man upstairs is going to take care of that.”

Whoever did it could have a family of their own to think about now, Paul said.

“Just give us Veronica,” he said. “That’s all we’re looking for is some closure.”

PHS looks at BEST options

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

​ PRINCETON — The Princeton High School Board meeting held Oct. 22, discussed the recent events and best options for the Bureau County Special Schools.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, this year will be the last that Bureau Valley administers the Bureau County Special Schools, which is currently housed in the old Manlius School building.

After looking over results of a roof audit completed this past spring on the Bureau Valley building, BV Superintendent Steve Endress said it was determined the usable life of the roof was nearing its end.

The estimated cost to make needed repairs totaled around $250,000.

“Our board was not inter-

ested in the cost of making repairs to the building,” Endress said. “We had a meeting with several superintendents in the programs and told them that was our position and asked whether either of the co-ops were interested in the cost of repairing the building, or whether it was time to start looking at a new location.”

The behavior disorder program (BEST), which includes three PHS students, has compiled a committee to look at possible new locations for the program. BCCAP, the alternative education program, currently has no PHS students and also formed a committee to explore their various options.

Princeton High School would prefer a location able to house both programs in the same building, so transportation services can be shared. It is hoped options will be available after the

first of the year.

In other business, this year’s winter coaches have been appointed. Boys basketball consists of: Head coach Jesse Brandt, assistant coach Michael Fredericks and assistant coach Eric Tinley. Girls basketball coaches include: Head coach Kevin Hieronymus, assistant coach Josie Gustafson, assistant coach Heath Terando and assistant coach Ken Musselman. The wrestling team coaches are: Head coach Steve Amy, assistant coach Jesse Snyder, assistant coach Aaron Christiansen and assistant coach Brian Taylor.

The board also recognized and congratulated its PHS Students of the Month including, Seth Torchia, Sierra Storm, Grace Minnick, Ashley Falk, Sarah Kurth and Mefmet Sadiku.

question does call for a Jan. 1, 2015, implementation date, but that would be difficult to get all legislation in place by that time, Hieronymus said.

The second advisory question asks if health insurance plans that provide prescription drug coverage should be required to include prescription birth control.

That question is related

to the Affordable Care Act and no doubt stems from situations involving companies which do not want to provide birth control in their health care plans for employees, Hieronymus said.

The third advisory question asks if millionaires should be taxed an additional 3 percent, with school districts to receive additional money from that additional tax.

However, as stated, the proposal does not bind the state to any specific

amount of that additional tax going to school districts, Hieronymus said.

Voting polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 4 around the state. Early voting can also be done during regular business hours this week at the Spring Valley City Hall or at the Bureau County Courthouse in Princeton. The courthouse will also be open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday for early voting.

Sheriff From Page 1 a bond of trust and recognition with the public we serve. The sheriff’s department must keep the needs and safety of the public first and foremost.

3. My third priority is to increase rural patrol and continue to combat the drug problems that we face each and every day. Although this is not a heavily populated metropolitan area, we still face many of the same challenges. Bureau County is primarily an agricultural county, and the deputies need to be and will be concentrating more patrol on the rural roads and small villages. We are very fortunate to have a deputy as part of TRIDENT drug task force, and we will continue to combat the drug problems through VISIBILITY PATROL and INVESTIGATIONS. I also plan on implementing a Neighborhood Watch Program in the smaller communities of Bureau County. You don’t have to leave your name when you call in any type of report; all we want is your information, so we can better serve you. This is a combined effort between your sheriff’s department and you.

In what ways will you be fiscally responsible to the taxpayer: We have to start out by looking at today’s economy. I realize money is tight with many families living on a budget, and the last thing anyone (including me) wants to see is an increase in taxes.

I have done police budgets and budget related work for 13 years, and I know you must develop a budget, while allowing the sheriff’s department to function properly and provide law enforcement protection for residents without raising taxes.

As a police administrator, I have known how to work with existing facilities without adding more expenses to the taxpayers. The current jail is inspected by the Department of Corrections and

Elect

passes each time, thus eliminating the need for a new jail.

What changes will you make if elected: Every administrator has their own methods of operating a department, and I am no different.

New departmental policies and procedures will be a first. Secondly, I plan on moving all radio dispatch from the sheriff’s department and relocating it to the BuEComm 9-1-1 dispatch center, a countywide facility.

BuEComm has a stateof-the-art radio dispatch center, and I believe that needs to be utilized for the best possible use of tax dollars. This relocation can also be done without the loss of employment of any current sheriff’s dispatchers. Last, I will do away with the automated phone system currently used at the Bureau County Jail. I believe that callers need to be greeted by an actual deputy.

Why should voters cast their ballots for you: Let’s start with my 39 years of law enforcement experience. We all know the sheriff is an administrator, and for 13 years, that was exactly what I did while deputy chief. I was also the interim chief of police for the Princeton Police for two years while the chief was deployed on military service. I have prepared budgets and worked with council forms of government. I know as well as you that TIMES ARE VERY DIFFICULT, and you have to know how to maximize the best amount of patrol and protection for the public without increasing taxes, and that is what I have done. Voters should cast their votes for me because the position of sheriff is not a position of popularity; it is a position of trust.

What kind of promises will you make and keep to citizens of Bureau County: First and foremost, I am a police officer, not a politician, so I will not make promises to the citizens of the county.

I will, however, vow to employ a highly-trained and people-oriented

Bureau County Republican • bcrnews.com sheriff’s department that all the citizens of Bureau County will be proud of. The Bureau County Sheriff’s Department will work with ALL the law enforcement agencies and our first responders to ensure your safety and that of your families.

As I previously stated I will create and maintain a budget that will keep safety and police services a top priority James “Jim” Reed Position for which you are running: Bureau County Sheriff.

Political party: Democrat.

Town of residence: Arlington.

Where you work right now: Bureau County Sheriff’s Office.

Age: 45.

Education: Graduate of Hall High School; graduate of Illinois Police Training Institute; over 800 hours in continued education through local crime commissions and regional training centers; Certified Reid and Advanced Reid techniques of interview and interrogation; Certified Lead Homicide Investigator; Certified PTI Master Firearms Instructor; FBI Certified Firearms Instructor.

Experience: Served the sheriff’s office for 24 years as a jailer/radio operator, field deputy, courthouse security officer, investigator and inspector for the drug task force. Served the village of Ladd for two years as a police officer. Served part-time for Princeton Police Department.

What are your Top 3 goals if you are elected: To build a bridge of solidarity between law enforcement and the people of Bureau County by providing a proactive and progressive service of law enforcement. Reorganization and substantial streamlining of command staff is a major priority.

We need to put more deputies on the road to serve the communities that do not have a law enforcement presence. To do this, I will be a working sheriff and will have a working chief deputy.

Our administrative duties would include assisting with calls, patrols, investigations, narcotics interdiction and training. I will work with and lead fellow field deputies from the field and not from behind a desk. If needed, I will come to you. I will reinstate the major crimes’ unit within Bureau County. The cornerstone of good inter-agency cooperation begins with the respective agency’s chief or sheriff. Building a strong personal relationship with the municipal police chiefs in Bureau County will be of major importance to me. This strong relationship will ensure the success of a joint effect to combat illegal drug activity throughout Bureau County.

In what ways will you be fiscally responsible to taxpayers: The sheriff’s most important mission is the safety of people and property. To accomplish that mission, the sheriff must be fiscally responsible and must be responsive to the people of Bureau County. Fiscal responsibility includes a thorough review of all current programs and positions. Today’s challenging economy requires the sheriff revisit the costs and benefits of every item in the budget.

The taxpayers have already decided against raising taxes to build a new jail. So, I will actively

pursue state and federal grants for equipment and for jail improvements. I will work with the county board on all budget matters concerning the jail, courthouse and sheriff’s office.

What changes will you make if you are elected: Reorganization and substantial streamlining of command staff.

The immediate result of reorganization will bring about accountability, responsiveness and increased productivity.

The process will include facility and equipment review to determine needed improvements and upgrades throughout the sheriff’s department.

An intensive staffing review will be included to determine the best personnel deployment for effective community law enforcement and citizen safety. These steps will help fulfill the mission of doing more of what the public wants and needs with fewer taxpayer dollars.

I will implement drug interdiction patrols, targeting known drug dealers and areas within our county.

All squad cars will be equipped with an in-car computer, video recorder and AEDs to better serve the citizens of Bureau County and the deputies who patrol.

Why should voters cast their ballots for

you: Bureau County voters should vote for me because I am the most qualified, experienced and knowledgeable candidate to be sheriff. In 24 years of working at the Bureau County Sheriff’s Office, I have worked in nearly every role within the sheriff’s department.

I am currently a patrol sergeant, where I supervise deputies. I know all aspects of the office and what it takes to be successful. I believe in the Illinois Constitution and the U.S. Constitution and will uphold those fundamental rights we all enjoy as citizens of the United States. My experience, education and current law enforcement service in Bureau County makes me the best qualified to serve as your sheriff. I have a commitment to keeping Bureau County a safe place to live for my family and yours.

What kind of promises will you make and keep to the citizens of Bureau County: I promise to work as hard as your sheriff as I have during my campaign. I promise better training for the deputies and improvements within the office.

I promise I will work with and have a better relationship with the Bureau County Board, the local police agencies within the county, and the hard-working citizens who reside here.

From the editor’s desk We were out tromping around Princeton’s City-County Park on Sunday taking some family photos, and I couldn’t help but notice the beautiful surroundings. We are so lucky to have so many beautiful parks in Bureau County.

If you haven’t noticed already, the leaves are falling fast, so if you want to take that autumn drive around the county — do it soon.

Even if the leaves are gone, I’d still suggest that leisurely drive. We’re so fortunate to live in such a picturesque county.

••• Thanks to everyone who attended our Candidates’ Forum last Tuesday Terri Simon at the Bureau County Metro Center, which featured candidates for Bureau County Sheriff and Bureau County Treasurer.

The crowd was impressive, and I’m glad each and every one of you came.

Thanks also to all four candidates who participated in the event. It’s not easy, and I think everyone did a nice job.

Now it’s up to you. Election Day is Nov. 4. Please exercise your very important right to vote.

••• Veterans Day is just around the corner. If your school, your organization, your business is doing something special to honor our veterans, please let us know, so we can help you publicize your event. Please email your information telling us what, when, what time, etc., to news@bcrnews. com. We look forward to helping you honor our area veterans.

••• This Friday is Halloween, and nearly every town/ village in Bureau County is holding some kind of fun-filled activity for our little ghosts and goblins.

From trick-or-treating to parties to parades, little ones will be out in force to participate in the fun.

Just a reminder, excited children might not practice good safety measures as they anxiously go from house to house trick-or-treating. Please watch out for them. Also, it’s a good idea not to burn leaves on Friday, since a smoldering pile of leaves might not be obvious to little feet.

On behalf of the BCR, thanks to all the area municipalities who are hosting fun-filled activities for our younger citizens.

••• I’m happy to introduce our new BCR staff member — our newest staff writer, Zita Henneberry of Dover. Zita is a welcome addition to our talented staff, and you’ll be seeing Zita around town and throughout the county. Please make sure you introduce yourself to Zita when you see her out and about and help us welcome her to our BCR Zita family.

Henneberry ••• Congratulations are in order for area athletes/ teams, including state golfers Arraia Hicks of Princeton High School and Joe Dudek of St. Bede Academy; Hall and St. Bede headed to the first round of football playoffs; Bureau Valley and Hall boys cross country teams; Bureau Valley, Hall and Amboy/LaMoille girls cross country teams; and individual qualifiers from Princeton and St. Bede who advanced to the Oregon Sectional.

••• We are coming to the time of year when food pantries around the county need a little extra help. In today’s edition of the BCR and upcoming editions, we will be featuring the five food pantries in Bureau County and telling you of their needs.

Please help out if you can.

Watch for an upcoming story on the county toy drive ...

Abiding by a Code of Conduct To the Editor, I’d like to respond to the recent letter to the editor from Susan Sack. The Rock Island Clean Line is a power line that will deliver low-cost wind energy from Iowa into Illinois, benefiting Illinois consumers. Thousands of jobs will be created to build the power line and the new wind farms which will deliver enough clean wind energy to power 1.4 million homes each year.

The Rock Island Clean Line team worked hard to develop the route for the line, seeking to minimize impacts to homes, farm infrastructure and protected environments as much as possible. We have hosted dozens of open houses and informational meetings across both Iowa and Illinois to gather feedback from community members in the development of the route for the Rock Island Clean Line.

Ms. Sack makes dramatic and inaccurate claims about our treatment of landowners in her letter, such as “in Missouri, a 97 year old in assisted living was pressured by a land agent, even after asking them to leave and stating she didn’t feel well.” As director for the Rock Island Clean Line, I take any claims of improper conduct

by Clean Line representatives very seriously. Our management has investigated Ms. Sack’s claim, and we are confident it is untrue.

Our project representatives participate in extensive training in order to ensure they abide by the company’s strict Code of Conduct.

The Code of Conduct requires that all communications with landowners and other persons made by right-of-way agents and subcontractor employees representing our projects must be factually correct, made in good faith, respectful

and reflective of fair dealing, and respectful of the privacy rights of property owners. We receive daily reports on our land agents’ activities, and the members of the Clean Line land team speak with one another multiple times per week.

We anticipate a final decision from the Illinois Commerce Commission in our case shortly. Following that decision, we look forward to sitting down with landowners and tenant farmers at kitchen tables and elsewhere across our project area and working to answer all of their questions to their satisfaction.

In the meantime, please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or comments. I can be reached at 312-561-9704 or hdetweiler@cleanlineenergy.com.

On the ‘verge of victory’ To the Editor, As a long-time member of the Rotary Club of Walnut, I would like to note that we are extremely close to making history by eliminating one of the world’s most devastating diseases: Polio.

The global effort to eradicate polio demonstrates the tremendous impact of immunizations.

The number of new polio cases, a disease that once paralyzed more than 1,000 children every day, has dropped more than 99 percent since the 1980s.

There are fewer cases in fewer places than ever before, and only three countries (Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan) have never stopped transmission of the wild

Thought for this week: “You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe Daylight Saving Time.” Dave Barry.

••• I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the folks who I’ve heard from regarding our Women of Distinction Award luncheon and our Candidates’

polio virus.

However, a funding gap means immunization campaigns are being cut in high-risk countries, leaving children more vulnerable to polio. If polio isn’t stopped now, the disease could stage a comeback, affecting an estimated 200,000 children every year.

Rotary, a humanitarian service organization with nearly 34,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas, made polio eradication its top priority in 1985. Rotary has since contributed $1.2 billion, and its members have logged countless volunteer hours to help immunize more than 2 billion children in 122 countries.

If we can eliminate polio from the planet, dozens of other diseases could follow. This is a historic moment, and one that is meaningful to people — especially children — the world over.

As the world stands on the verge of victory over polio, it is important to recognize that amazing things can happen when forces join together for a common good. Your readers can join the fight to end polio now, by visiting www.endpolionow.org.

PERU — Al Baldonado had one tip for the younger runners at the St. Bede 1A cross country regional — “Never go out too hard.”

He put that strategy to good use Saturday, saving himself for a strong finish to run away with the regional championship for the second straight year.

He had a winning time of 16:17, 13 seconds ahead of runner-up Levi Schmillen of Fieldcrest, his training partner.

“I really wanted to win because I won last year,” Baldonado said. “My strategy was let the younger kids go out, they always sprint (the start). So then I just kind of sat back, and then on our way out of the orchard I just took the lead and maintained it until the end.”

Baldonado said it was nice having Schmillen alongside for most of the

“It was more fun having a friend there with me the whole way,” said Baldonado, who took two days off before regionals to rest a sore hip. “We were kind of trading leads out there. He took the lead going into the orchard, and I kind of made my move going up the hill. Overall, it was a

Storm bringing the Blockparty home

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Bureau Valley is bringing the Blockparty home.

The Storm (26-5) are hosting the 2A volleyball regional and can’t wait to get the party home, aka the “Blockparty,” as its student body cheering section is hailed as.

“It is very exciting to host the regional this year and have the No. 1 seed. The Blockparty has been great all year. The students have followed us throughout the season and made each game memorable for us,” BV coach Abbi Bosnich said. “We look forward to continuing to work hard and give our best on the court each game.”

Bosnich said the Storm have broken the season down into different seasons, the nonconference/tournament season and the conference season, and now the postseason.

“We have learned as a team that you cannot anticipate anything when we come to a game.

We have to go in playing our best volleyball each night. That

is all we can be prepared for,” Bosnich said.

The conference “season” was better known as the “Streak” with the Storm winning its first 11 matches by 2-0 scores before being taken to three sets by Princeton.

By Kevin Hieronymus The Hall Red Devils are bringing it home.

The Red Devils landed a home date for the Class 2A football playoffs as the No. 4 seed, drawing No. 5 Knoxville (6-3) on Saturday. Kickoff is 1 p.m. at Richard Nesti Stadium.

Neighbor St. Bede (6-3) drew a No. 7 seed in 3A and a Saturday date at No. 2 Tolono Unity (8-1), located south of Champaign, about two hours away from the Academy.

Game time is 2 p.m.

Hall coach Randy Tieman didn’t think seven wins would get the Red Devils a home date, but he’s happy it worked out.

“It’s great to be at home.

The kids love playing here and the community really gets behind the team. Our playoff points helped a lot with getting a home game, playing a tough schedule worked out for us in a few ways,” he said.

Knoxville (6-3) is a member of the Prairieland Blue Conference, placing second behind Elmwood-Brimfield (7-2). While the Blue Bullets were outscored 223-197 on the season, its opponents tallied 44 playoff points (combined wins by opponents).

Race winner Kirstie Ramsey, a sophomore from A-W, clocked a top time of 18:21 in the girls’ meet. Sisters Haley Weidner and Regan Weidner paced the BV girls, placing second (19:06) and sixth (19:41), respectively. Amboy sophomore Megan Gray placed fourth (19:15).

Donner said it was nice to see Hayley Weidner hold off Erie-Prophetstown’s Cory Reilly and Grady for second.

Other Storm runners included Riley Francis (25th, 22:07), Heather Williams (41st, 23:10) and Marissa Mungia (46th, 23:34).

For Amboy-LaMoille, Jennifer Popovich placed 13th (21:01), Erin Hosto 19th (21:29), Maddie Foster 49th (23:50), Brenna Rieker 58th (24:24) and Ally Gascoigne 62nd (24:59).

Baldonado and his Hall teammates, who placed fifth as a team, advanced to the Oregon Sectional along with the Hall girls (sixth) and Princeton individuals Cody Workman, Kendile Whitford and Brianna Legner and St. Bede’s Annie Needs.

IVC was the boys’ team champion, topping Henry-Senachwine 69-80. They were followed by Fieldcrest (91), Marquette (91), Hall (94), Putnam County (145) and Seneca (180) for the qualifying berths.

Workman finished 11th (18:19), with Whitford running 16th at 18:44.

“I think I was more worried about Denver (Wyatt) and Kendile, because I was pretty sure I could get in. I was running the whole race hoping they could get in the top five,” Workman said.

PHS coach Pat Hodge said it was disappointing Wyatt just fell short in his first season of cross country.

Whitford’s efforts came after scoring four touchdowns for the sophomore football team Friday night.

Other Hall contributors included Tyler Pullam (19th, 18:53), Gage Ripka (23rd, 19:07), Kyle Follmer (27th, 19:18), Christopher Enriquez (20:45), Moises Aldana (20:50) and Luke Lee-Brown (23:05).

IVC’s Demi Johnson was the race winner for the girls in19:30.

Legner, a first-year runner, was the top area finisher, placing 25th (22:12) with a strong push to the finish. Needs was two spots behind in 27th (22:37), claiming the final qualifying position.

Bureau Valley’s Michael Eastwood helped the Storm advance as a team to sectionals from the Rock Falls Class 1A Cross Country Regional Saturday. more Michael Eastwood edged a pack of runners, including E-P senior Braedon Bonnell and Amboy’s James Blackburn, at the finishing gate for 10th place. Eastwood and Bonnell had identical times of 16:56, with Blackburn finishing a second later in 13th, good enough to qualify him individually for the Oregon Sectional.

Donner said Eastwood is a 100-200 meter runner in track who gave cross country a try this fall and is really coming around.

“Michael ran heads and

shoulders his best race of the year. He is really coming around.”

Ohio junior Johnee Schulte was the fourth of five individual qualifiers, placing 21st with a time of 17:25.

Other top finishers for the Storm were 15th Morgan Strader (17:05), 24th Yulian Osorio (17:57), 25th Michael Trujillo (17:59) and 37th Charlie Lotspeich (18:42).

Princeton’s Kendile Whitford keeps up with the pack in Saturday’s St. Bede 1A Regional. He was one of five individual qualifiers.

“Brianna had a nice race getting just ahead of our projections. Also an excellent job for being a first-year cross country runner as a junior and getting a two weeks late start at it to boot,” said Hodge, The Hall girls were led by Paige Orlandi, who came in 26th (22:13). Also contributing to Hall were Kaylee Olivares (31st, 22:53), Lindsey Conrad (35th, 23:28), Amelia Moreno (43rd, 24:00), Liz Aldana (51st, 25:56) and Tanja Acamovic (57th, 28:52).

Notes: Hodge praised sophomore Michelle Harris, the former team manager, who ran in the team’s final two meets, including regional.

Class 1A St. Bede Regional (Top 7 teams and 5 individuals not on those teams advance to the Oregon Sectional on Nov. 1)

At St. Bede: The Lady Bruins will also have all the comforts of home playing at Abbot Vincent Gymnasium. Coach Dawn Williams said it’s an advantage for her Lady Bruins heading into the postseason facing Three Rivers and Bureau County rival Princeton right off the bat at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

“We are preparing for a strong battle against Princeton. We know what has worked and hasn’t worked in the previous two matches. It’s a matter of coming out ready, playing consistent, and executing the game plan,” said SBA coach Dawn Williams, an Academy alumnus.

“Hosting regionals is a privilege and adds a comfort zone for the girls mentally. I also know both teams will be supported by loud crowds, so it will be a big-time environment, perfect for this match.

We are looking forward to Tuesday night.”

The Lady Bruins enter on the upswing, winners

Also from the Three Rivers, top-seed Sterling Newman (9-0) will host No. 8 Aurora Christian (5-4) at 2 p.m. Saturday in 2A and No. 2 Rockridge (8-1) hosts No. 7 Annawan-Wethersfield (5-4) at 1 p.m. Saturday in 2A, and Fulton (6-3) travels to #2 Forreston (8-1) at 6 p.m.

Saturday in 1A. No. 10 Mendota (6-3) gets things started in the Illinois Valley, traveling to No. 7 Coal City (7-2) on Friday night.

• Notes: With all the drama going into Bureau Valley’s season finale, a game they lost at Fulton 35-27, there would have been even more drama had they won their fifth game. There were 22 teams with 5-4 records ranging from 39 playoff points to 28 that did not get it. With 39 points, the Storm would have lost out for the final spot by a tiebreaker.

“After a rough first part of the season, we have made a lot of changes and are coming together at the right time ready to enter regional competition,” Williams said.

PHS coach Andy Puck said while getting dropped back down to 2A is “a major relief,” the Tigresses still have to remain focused and aggressive to play a solid St. Bede team on their home floor.

“This is a regional full of teams trying to reach their full potential, and if reached that team could be playing for a sectional title,” he said.

One of those teams seeking to reach its potential is PC, the top seed. The Lady Panthers clinched a share of the Tri-County Conference championship and placed second in the league tournament.

“I have a solid group of seniors that have some dreams that they are still looking to accomplish this year! We are excited for the postseason and know we will be up against some good competition,” PC coach Amy Krieser said.

“We hope to stay focused on ‘our game and just take one point at a time. We would love to start the postseason by finishing off another goal for the year of getting 20 wins and then having the opportunity to compete for a regional title.”

At Roanoke: LaMoille-Ohio hopes to get a shot at the host Rockets, who are the defending regional champions. First the Lady Lions will have to get through the winner of Monday’s Midland/DePue contest.

Egyptians used a process called embalming to preserve people’s bodies.

It took a long time and had many steps.

What is a mummy? A mummy is a dead body that has been preserved.

When people die, the body usually begins to decay. Soft parts, such as the skin and other organs, soon rot away. But in mummies, the body does not decay.

Sometimes the bodies were preserved on purpose. Other times, the body is preserved by accident. It might have been frozen, left in a very dry place or even covered by a peat bog.

This mystifying mummy is trying to trick you. Can you separate fact from fiction? Follow the mummy’s wrappings to check your mummy memory.

The embalmers took out the brain, lungs, stomach, liver and intestines. The heart was left in the body and all of the organs were saved, except for the brain. It was thrown away. What does this tell you about the importance Egyptians put on the brain?
