State reduces motor fuel tax payment State MFT cut has little effect on area budgets

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

In the state’s current attempt to close the $1.6 billion budget gap, Rauner continues to make cuts and budget adjustments across the board.

Many cities have recently learned $50 million will be taken from the Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) fund throughout the state. This

fund is utilized for local road projects and materials for maintenance, including salt and blacktop.

While the Illinois Department of Transportation is reported to have sent out a letter about the MFT sweep, many city officials did not receive it.

The letter stated, the IDOT learned the money will be transferred from the March MFT revenues, resulting in a “substantial” reduction in what the cities receive for that month.

The state has also reported the MFT funding will be fully restored in the April

The pair were able to launch the extraordinarily large kite that resembled a dragon in an open field; the colorful kite could be seen for quite a distance.

While spring is often known for its windy weather, these two made the best of the strong breeze and sunny day.

PRINCETON — Should we talk about suicide? That will be the question explored during a suicideTALK event hosted by LivingWorks Suicide Prevention group.

The event will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 16, in the Nelson Chapel in Princeton.

The 90-minute program will be led by Jeff Hippen, a seventh-grade math teacher at Challand Middle School in Sterling.

Hippen lost his son to suicide and is now a certified LivingWorks trainer in suicide prevention. He is equipped to provide life-saving intervention skills to schools, hospitals, churches, EMT workers, police officers and more.

Chris Compton, LivingWorks director, said Hippen works with adolescents, has genuine compassion and speaks from his heart.

“I can’t think of a better speaker to lead suicideTALK and come to our community,” she said. “I like the way Jeff brings the audience into the discussion and uses a question and answer period.”

The program is open to the public and invites all participants over the age of 16, regardless of prior training or experience.

The session will explore the question of whether or not people should openly talk about suicide. This will, in turn, allow some to discover the beliefs and ideas about suicide in their communities and in themselves, Compton said.

Compton said this program will especially be beneficial for those interested in wanting to learn how to deal with friends, family members or strangers who they feel might exhibit signs of suicide; who want to know what to say and do to help prevent a possible suicide; and how to react and not react.

LaMoille Lions celebrate 40 years

Open house set for April 25

LAMOILLE — Since its inception in 1975, the LaMoille Lions Club has served as a vital source in its community, providing needed resources and opportunities that have kept the surrounding area thriving.

“If they continue to do it, he (the city engineer) said it will effect our road repair for our next year plan, but he (the city engineer) said we have the money for this year’s plans. So it shouldn’t effect anything immediately on our road fund,” said Rosenow.

Clawson said, “It appears that our distribution was cut by about $10,000. We received $7,060. We would have normally received between $16,000 and $18,000.”

Fortunately, this reduction will not have

payouts. However, many cities have seen the March cut in the their April revenues without any notice from the state.

“Ours was reduced in our April distribution,” said Princeton City Manager Jeff Clawson. “I believe that the state lags behind, and that is why they say it is for March ... We did not receive any notice.”

Sheffield Mayor Bill Rosenow explained, there has not been a letter received from the Illinois Department of Transportation at this juncture. However, he added, Sheffield heard about the payment reduction through the city engineer.

Lions From Page 1 and other annual fundraisers held throughout the year, as well as through Bingo night events held Wednesday evenings in Peru.

On top of their hefty donations, the club provides a facility at the edge of town in LaMoille.

The facility has been a location option to host all sorts of community events throughout the years including wedding receptions, business meetings, banquets, reunions, holiday parties, fundraiser, private family gatherings and much, much more.

Jim Scully, who has been a club member for over 20 years, said the building is huge for the community.

“It’s one of the only big buildings in the area we have,” he said. “It’s used for all different kind of things for people looking to use it.”

As the club prepares to mark 40 years of service, they are using this time to reflect on how far they’ve come and the direction they’d like to head in the future.

The club is currently working on a drive to get new members interested in joining the LaMoille Lions Club.

“Moving forward, it’s going to be a big part of our focus — getting more members of the communi-

He explained many of the club members are over the age of 60 and some are even 80 years old.

“They’ve been around a long time, and they’ve done a lot of work over the years. But we need some new blood and new ideas,” he said.

John Aden, a member of the club, is currently handling the club’s membership drive.

Right now he is working on getting people interested in signing up for a drawing at the April 25 open house, which is when the club will raffle off a new grill.

Laughing with Style in Ladd Fundraising event is April 17

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

LADD — Winter is finished, and it’s time to spring into style with a few good laughs and a fun night out.

The Laughing with Style community event will feature a professional comedian prior to an all ages fashion show. Attendants are promised a night filled with laughter, fun and fashion at this community feature.

“It’s going to be a great event for our little Ladd community,” said event organizer Jan Martin.

Saturday, April 17, the Laughing with Style event will be held at 7 p.m. in the Ladd Grade School gymnasium. Tickets are on sale for $15. Proceeds will be directed toward fireworks

for Ladd’s 125 years celebration.

“We thought this might be something different and reach a different market. It’s mostly for ladies.

It’s a Friday night, and it’ll be very enjoyable. They’ll laugh, and then they’ll see wonderful fashions as well,” said Martin.

Professional comedian and author of “Laugh Anyway Mom,” Tracy DeGraaf, will kickoff the event. DeGraaf draws from her everyday life as a woman, wife and mother of five boys to entertain her many audiences.

A former graduate of DePue High School, DeGraaf will bring a local appreciation to her Ladd performance.

Ottawa Boutique LaynaBella’s will showcase their many styles and fashions on local models from ages 6 to 82. Beth Hoffert, the shop owner, will be emceeing the event and will have many of her

items on sale that evening.

Hoffert, a former Ladd resident, reached out and wanted to help, said Martin.

According to Martin, while most of the models are current Ladd residents, a few will be traveling from as far as Indiana and Chicago to return to help out for the event Among the many models will be the former Ladd queens from 25 years ago, said Martin. Little Miss Ladd, Jessica Ladwig and Miss Heather Mautino were crowned in the Ladd centennial celebration and will be returning to their former hometown for the evening.

For more information or for tickets call Sandy Galetti at 815-894-2954.

Tickets are also on sale at LaynaBella’s in Ottawa, at the Ladd Village Hall, or at Special Effects Beauty Salon.

Northern Partners Coop announces new project NCP will form long-term agreement with CHS on river terminals at Peru ST. PAUL, Minn. — CHS Inc., North America’s leading farmer-owned cooperative and a global energy, grains and foods company, and Northern Partners Cooperative, Mendota, announced CHS will build a 47,000-ton capacity fertilizer warehouse with product blending capabilities that will be operated by Northern Partners Cooperative. In addition, the two companies will form a joint venture to build and operate a grain barge loading facility that will handle corn, soybeans and wheat for export through the CHS terminal at Myrtle Grove, La. Northern Partners Cooperative will use the terminals at Peru primarily to serve farmer-owners of its retail business with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers and to facilitate grain handling.

CHS will serve its nearby cooperative wholesale fertilizer and grain customers from these facilities.

“These new assets will give our member-owners direct access and ownership in the supply and distribution chain, bringing them a step closer to world markets,” Eric Anderson, general manager, Northern Partners Cooperative, said. “These new stateof-the-art facilities will help provide a more stable, dependable source of crop nutrients as well as a cooperative presence in the grain export market which will add value to our member-owners’ farming operations.”

“We are pleased to partner with CHS, the nation’s leading cooperative in this venture. While we are very different in size, our core values are very similar.

Both companies work to provide relevant, valuable products and services to member-owners,” Anderson said.

Anderson also expressed gratitude to local government officials for their support and expertise.

“We look forward to working with Mayor Scott Harl and the City of Peru to bring jobs and economic development to benefit the Illinois Valley, and we appreciate their many efforts to help us establish this new venture,” Anderson said.

“CHS is always looking for strategic investments and partnerships that create additional growth opportunities for its farmer-owners and this agreement with Northern Partners Cooperative does just that,” Rick Dusek, CHS vice president, Ag Business, said. “It allows CHS to expand its grain origination with direct Illinois River access and it enables further growth of our fertilizer business by adding infrastructure that is critical to timely and reliable fertilizer supply and delivery.”

Construction will begin early in 2015 and is expected to be completed in the spring of 2016. When the plant is operational, Anderson said approximately eight new employees will be hired.

Mautino legislation cracks down on crimes against first responders SPRING VALLEY — Criminals convicted of committing violent acts against first responders could face up to three years in prison under a measure backed by state Rep. Frank Mautino that is making its way through the Illinois House.

“Emergency responders take incredible personal risks to keep our communities safe,” Mautino said.

“It’s their job to save lives on a daily basis, and our laws should reflect their sacrifices and prioritize their safety.”

House Bill 3184, co-sponsored by Mautino, increases the category of the aggravated assault of

an on-duty police officer, firefighter or emergency medical technician to a Class 4 felony, punishable by up to three years in prison and a $25,000 fine. Under current law, the aggravated assault of these emergency responders is a misdemeanor, carrying a penalty of no more than 364 days in prison and a $2,500 fine, a punishment Mautino thinks is not severe enough, especially considering that assaulting other correctional officers is already a felony.

“Deliberately assaulting a first responder could result in local residents in distress not getting imme-

a significant impact on the city of Princeton, he said. “If they continue this trend, it will have an effect on the Euclid Street project.”

Malden President Brian Joiner also said the cut was taken out of the April MFT payout. He continued to explain this reduction will not have a serious effect on any town projects.

“We’re kind of lucky; we don’t have anything specific we’re using the money for at the moment.

So we’re probably better off than some of the towns around us,” he said.

Joiner explained, Malden deposits money from the MFT fund into an account on a regular basis. By allowing the sum to grow, the city is then able to collect enough for projects which have been placed on a list of necessary road improvements.

In this way, “It’s going to slow down some of our (future) activities,” said Joiner.

Joiner said the April MFT revenue was about half of what it normally would be just as it was for most Illinois towns.

The current special funds sweep seems to have come without an immediate or significant effect on most towns in the Bureau County area. However, the above city officials said, further cuts to these or other state funds could be highly damaging to local budgets.

Compton is hoping to see many participants take advantage of this opportunity.

“Since the (Living Works Suicide Prevention) walk began, it’s has been our mission to train people on how to talk about suicide,” she said.

Compton said the most important message she hopes people take away from this event is to not be afraid to ask the questions such as, “Have you thought about suicide?”

And learn not be afraid to hear the answer and know how to respond.

Compton said LivingWorks plans to host more suicideTALK events in the future.

Waltzing through life

It’s been a long couple of weeks — maybe longer.

I’m not sure. The days, weeks and months oftentimes run into each other.

But regardless of how long the craziness has been going on, I’ll just summarize it with this: On a scale of 1 to 10, my frustration level has peaked at about a 51 during this period, while my energy level has plummeted to around a minus 22 at its worst. There have been so many ups and downs I can’t begin to count them all.

I’m not complaining ... OK, maybe a bit ... but by and large, the rise and fall of life keeps this old girl dancing on her toes. Unfortunately though, it’s not always filled with pretty maneuvers or fancy steps like you’re accustomed to seeing on “Dancing with the Stars.” Instead, my dance routine through life is filled with slips and falls, sprained emotions, forgotten steps and flat-footed attempts to get through the Terri Simon daily dance. And unlike those celebrities you see on the screen — who finish their routines to the sound of applause and standing ovations, I complete my daily dances with little fanfare, except when I finally look in the mirror at the end of the day and tell myself the person looking back did the best she could do ... despite some missteps along the way.

By now you’re probably thinking ... Suck it up, Terri. Welcome to everyone’s world. And you’re right. No doubt I’m preaching to the choir here, so to speak ... or at least to those of you who find yourselves tap dancing through many of life’s situations.

It’s difficult. Isn’t it? Especially when there are only 24 hours in each day, and the dance is intricate, difficult, demanding and clearly unforgiving if many respects.

Even though I took dancing lessons as a child for eight years (I know ... the mental image of that is troublesome), the idea of dancing through life should be somewhat uplifting. After all, there are a myriad of dances that conjure up images of grace, passion and sentimental devotion. If you’ve ever watched a couple float across the floor in graceful dance moves or you’ve watched a ballerina delicately execute ballet moves ... well, you get the idea.

Dancing can be beautiful ... I’m emphasizing the word “can.”

In my life, the dances which consume me are the tango — which sounds more like tangle to me — the quick step, hip hop dancing, the jitterbug, belly dancing ... and of course the freestyle, which I’ve perfected for years. Seems like I’m always caught up in some kind of a “tango,” while I quickly have to do some “quick stepping” to figure it out. After I “hip hop” my way out of a situation, my nerves are about as frantic as any “jitterbug” can be, and I feel my belly start to churn (or dance, if you will). Eventually, I just wing it and opt for the freestyle, which translates to doing my own thing.

By the end of some days, I’m weary from the dances I’ve performed. I’m tired — physically, emotionally, psychologically. My muscles ache; my mind is fatigued; my heart alternates between an allegro tempo to long, drawn-out beats that could resemble the final curtain in yet another performance.

But you know what? I’m compelled to keep dancing. Sounds a bit crazy, I know, but I don’t ever want the dance to stop. While I’m hoping those quick steps and jitterbugs will someday turn into waltzes, I don’t mind kicking up the tempo right now to fill my personal stage with energy, passion and my own personal satisfaction.

You see I believe the dances we do have nothing to do with our footwork, our arm motions or our rhythm. A good dancer allows her dancing to come from her soul. Even though I constantly remind myself that life is not a dress rehearsal, I’ve still got some of those rehearsals to make it all come together before my final bow ... but let’s just say I’ll keep dancing the dance until the music stops.

Richard Widmark: A Princeton legend Classmates — Becoming Richard Widmark Column and artwork

by Bartlett Lee Kassabaum Special to the BCR

“Hell and High Water” was a project put into production by Fox Studio chief Darryl Zanuck as a direct retort to those who claimed his pet project, “Cinemascope,” could only be used on big, epic productions. The movie was his attempt to refute that by using the process for that most claustrophobic of genres, the submarine film — his way of saying, “If we can use it on this, we can use it on anything!”

Director Samuel Fuller frequently used contrived shots in the movie just as a way of showing off the Cinemascope technology rather than to add anything to the story — which is about an attempt by an American submarine to stop a Chinese submarine from starting World War III, which they plan to do by launching a nuclear attack on China and blaming it on the United States.

Clearly this was intended as a flag-waving, gung-ho movie with China’s commie rulers as the nasty villains.

Widmark’s amazing charisma and the ruthless determination of his character holds the movie together even though it is almost comic book like in its presentation and in some of its characters. It has some great dialogue.

My favorite is Widmark’s character, submarine commander Adam Jones speaking to French scientist Professor Montel (Victor Francen) about his beautiful assistant Professor Denise Gerard (Bella Darvi). “Well professor, how did a girl that looks like that get mixed up in science?”

This marked the feature film debut of Darryl F. Zanuck’s muse, Bella Darvi, whose stage surname was a combination of the first names of Zanuck and his wife Virginia. Bella was a real looker and Zanuck’s latest squeeze away from home, though she didn’t do too bad in the acting department. There really isn’t any reason for her character to be in the film, except for her anatomy, that gives the viewer something more to look at besides a bunch of sweaty guys in a submarine. She only made three feature films in her short career.

It is fun to watch though if you don’t take it too seriously. I wonder how much laughter there was at the Tom Best household if Richard Widmark had to bounce any of this dialogue off of the family. He studied for his part at the home of his close friend in Princeton.

Tom Best surely had great respect for his friend Richard Widmark and the success he had in becoming a film star, but he also could look at the man and see just his boyhood pal.

When you grow up with someone and have “been down in the dirt” together, you don’t see them the same way as those who only know them for what they see on the silver screen. Playing football in the mud, getting to one gig after another in their band, seeing each other’s successes and failures growing up, doing things together that were just boys being boys, and just being there to listen, tends to make one a lot less in awe when a friend achieves fame and national stature.

The escapade, with Widmark’s father’s car getting stuck in the mud getting to a gig, when they played together in the Rhythm Kings, was not the only time that things went south for the boys. Tom had a glimpse of Dick’s future acting skills when they were in high school and up for having a couple

of beers on a weekend.

They headed to DePue and a local place that they knew was not past serving anyone who kind of looked like they were older or could talk the talk to get something under the table Tom was amazed watching his friend address the proprietor of the establishment with all the smoothness and demeanor of someone who was much older. Widmark turned in a glowing performance, and they left the place with the bootleg hooch in hand and feeling like real men. It was probably just another hidden sale to ring up for the owner though, who probably saw more bad performances than he did good.

He was surely having an animated conversation with a real adult after they left, over the brass of the young men who thought they were getting away with it.

“Hey, you know, Lou, that one kid was pretty darn good.”

“Yeh, maybe there’s a future for’ em in movies.”

They probably had a good laugh and thought

about their own youthful antics.

Double dating was something that Tom and Dick did on occasion. This was just another rite of passage for teenage boys.

There was one time they would never forget, when cruising the countyside looking for a place to park with their dates, that really went south. They were on Lover’s Lane.

Dick was driving, and his bad luck with cars rose it’s ugly head again. Bam! They had a blowout. The boys got out to look at the damage. Dick opened the trunk to find there was no spare. It was dark now, and surveying the area, they spotted a farm house that had lights blazing. It was on the other side of the creek. They thought they could wade across at one spot, but found it was too deep. They decided to swim. They told the girls what they were going to do and promised to be right back. Tom and Dick stripped to their underwear. They bundled their clothes, held them over their heads, and one arm dog paddled across. They dressed and proceeded to the farm house.

Tom and Dick got to the house, and Widmark knew something was missing.

His wallet was gone. He must have lost it while making the swim across the creek. How could things get any worse?

There was someone home at the house. They listened to the boy’s tale of woe, and soon, Dick was talking to his father on the phone.

He got the usual lecture from his dad and was told to get back to the car and wait. Carl would bring a spare and arrive as soon as possible. The farmer took them back to the car in his truck. When they got back to the car, the tire was still flat but the girls were gone. Two other guys had come by, rescued them, and gave them a ride home. No dates, no parking, no drivable car and no wallet with money plus IDs. Poor Tom and even poorer Richard. They would laugh about it later in life, but at the time, it was a failed outing they shared together. More glue for the bond.

Tom knew the boy and he knew the man — not just the star. Richard Widmark could be comfortable with trusted friends like Tom Best, Gail Castner and Lester Peterson. It definitely was not the case for many others. The Tom Best family, no matter their efforts to keep Richard Widmark’s visits quiet, could not be responsible for their neighbors inquisitiveness. Somehow the word would just get out and people could just show up at the door.

It could really be “hell and high water” for Widmark, trying to avoid the trappings of fame when he came back to Princeton.

Richard Widmark visiting Princeton with Tom Best and family ... next time.

Thank You

It’s a pretty humbling experience to run for a city position and to then be rewarded with the level of support that I received in Tuesday’s election.

Thank you to everyone who attended the BCR Forum, to those supporting my running for mayor, to those who followed me on FaceBook and to all who placed their faith in me by honoring me with their vote.

With the election of Laura Favia and Jerry Neumann to the city council, it has been significantly transformed. I’m looking forward to a positive and involved council working together with the community, debating and discussing issues… all for the betterment of this great community.

Precipitation, planting and programs Powerful storms that traversed Bureau County this week will limit field operations for several days, but those storms did serve the purpose of replenishing needed soil moisture.

By the time we get back into the field, most farmers will be anxious to start planting when field conditions permit. We managed to plant our first corn at the Northern Illinois Agronomy Research Center (NIARC) on Tuesday, April 7, earlier than our recommendations for Northern Illinois suggest.

The 4-inch soil temperature under bare soil at the NIARC measured 46 degrees, below the minimum 50 degree soil temperature where we expect corn germination to begin.

The corn was planted as part of our date of planting study conducted annually with both corn and soybean. For each crop we plant four dates and include a fungicide component to the trial.

With our corn, we plant both an early and full season hybrid, and with our soybean we also compare wide (30-inch) and narrow (15-inch) row widths.

Results from the 2014 corn study show no significant variation between our early planting dates, and they did not drop off until we reached our late May planting date.

At our location with the hybrids

Russ Higgins COMMENTARY

we have used in the last two years, we have also noted our early or shorter season hybrid (106 day) has produced higher yields than our full season (111 day) variety.

As farmers fine tune planters in preparation for the 2015 cropping season the topic of cost-effective planting populations with reduced commodity prices has recently arisen. Dr. Emerson Nafziger shared the following comments at the Northern Illinois Crop Management Conference.

Based on research trials conducted by the University of Illinois, high planted corn populations have shown a decrease in corn yields in recent years. They dropped less going from 42,000 to 50,000 plants per acre in 2014 in 2013. Not unexpected with our almost ideal weather conditions experienced last year. Yields going from 34,000 to 42,000 increased little at most sites, typical of recent years.

It should be noted that hybrids differ some in this regard.

Dropped populations that “pay their way” by producing enough

(extra) yield to cover (extra) seed cost tend to be in the 30,000 to 35,000 range, without much correlation with yield level. The idea that we need to go to 40,000 to 45,000 with current hybrids is not supported by our current research.

It’s not too early to plan for our research center field day. The morning event has been scheduled for July 9 at the research center. There is no cost to attend the program which features University of Illinois specialists and researchers sharing the latest research and hot topics of the current growing season. Weather permitting presentations will include field demonstrations.

Daryle Wragge, ag program coordinator for the Bureau, LaSalle, Marshall and Putnam Unit of the University of Illinois Extension, is coordinating transportation to the field day.

For information on bus transportation to our event, contact Daryle at 309-364-2356 by July 6.

I’m looking forward to seeing area farmers at our summer events. I encourage all to have a safe planting season and to exercise caution on the roads and in the fields this spring.

Frueh attends national study seminar

From presentations by bioterrorism experts and agriculture committee staff members to exploring leadership lessons on the battlefield at Gettysburg, the Illinois Agricultural Leadership Program (IALP) Class of 2016 participants learned first-hand of the most pressing issues facing agriculture as they traveled to Washington, D.C., for a seven-day seminar on national policy. Included in the current class is Jill Frueh of Ohio, Bureau County Farm Bureau Manager.

The seminar included presentations by 37 speakers representing 19 federal agencies, companies and associations. These included the Department of Agriculture, The World Bank, Department of Justice, CropLife America, Department of Energy, Farm Credit Administration, House Agriculture Committee, Embassy of Australia, Environmental Protection Agency, Monsanto, Department of Transportation, Commodities and Futures Trading Commission, FBI, Ani-

mal Agriculture Alliance, National Pork Producers Council and staff members to U.S. Sen. Richard Durbin and Sen. Mark Kirk.

“Learning first-hand how federal policy is developed and prioritized is important for agricultural leaders,” said Don Norton, IALF president and CEO. “The National Study Seminar sponsored by Monsanto allows current participants the opportunity to visit with our graduates and industry associates who are engaged in policy-making in Washington, D.C.” The study seminar ended on the battlefield of Gettysburg where Terry Fox, battlefield guide emeritus, discussed leadership issues that ultimately led to the Union victory in the Civil War. The Illinois Agricultural Leadership Foundation provides a two-year seminar series that develops knowledgeable and effective leaders to become policy and decision makers for the agricultural industry. It is a non-profit educational corporation under Illinois law.

Tatum wins USA Folkstyle National title

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

CEDAR FALLS, IOWA — Princeton’s Chase Tatum is a national champion.

Tatum, an eighth-grader at Princeton Logan Junior High, became the Schoolboy National Champion at 210 pounds in the USA Wrestling Folkstyle National Wrestling Tournament at the UNI Dome in Cedar Falls, Iowa, by pinning Nick Pierce of Minnesota in 0:36.

“It is an unreal feeling because over these two years of working hard with my coaches at practices and tournaments I would’ve never thought I would’ve ever been able to pull this off,” Tatum said.

“I’m just so overjoyed to do just what every wrestler wishes to do and that’s to

“He just dominated his weight class.”

Steve Amy become a national champion.”

PHS coach Steve Amy said Tatum “just dominated his weight by pinning all of his opponents in a total of a little over two minutes.”

Tatum was joined by three other Princeton wrestlers, including classmate Peyton Hammerich, who earned All-American Honors by finishing third.

Hammerich wrestled his way into the national finals match before losing to Mark Hastings from North Dakota in overtime. He

then had to wrestle for true second (the semifinal loser to Hastings), where he lost to Grant Parrish of Minnesota.

PHS sophomore Austin Wetsel wrestled at 145 in the Cadet Division, and PHS junior Tyler Wood competed at 113 in the Junior Division.

“The tournament is the premier postseason national tournament with many of the best wrestlers in the country competing,” PHS coach Steve Amy said. “There were over 2,800 wrestlers from over 40 states. The Top 8 at each weight earn All-American honors. There were 26 mats on the floor, so we saw a lot of wrestling throughout the Photo contributed three days.”

Cavaliers trip Bruins, Booker

By BCR Sports Staff sports@bcrnews.com

The LaSalle-Peru Cavaliers greeted a familiar face when they squared off against rival St. Bede Wednesday, April 8 at Veteran’s Park in Peru.

The coach in the other dugout was none other than Bill Booker, former head coach at L-P, who is in his first year at St. Bede while teaching at L-P. Nonetheless, the Cavaliers rallied for three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to capture a 4-3 at their old coach’s expense.

The game marked Booker’s first trip back to Veterans since leaving L-P as coach in 2012 after 25 years, 20 as head coach.

“It was an enjoyable experience, many past players and parents said hello and jokingly asked

about a red carpet being rolled out. There were even rumors I was throwing out the first pitch,” Booker said. “Seriously, I take great pride in seeing that program succeed. The teams were very similar in approach to the game too.

I do say though if you live in the past you’re cheating the present and future. I look forward to developing the SBA program that the academy can be proud.”

Starter Jarret Olson went six innings, striking out eight with three walks.

Gabe Braboy took the loss in relief. Jack Brady had two hits and a RBI; Sam Halm had a hit and RBI; and Brady Booker added two hits.

There are five individuals from three area schools and three relays from two schools looking to work their way back to state this track and field season. When Mother Nature cooperates, those returning state qualifiers and all other area boys track and field athletes will turn their attention to the outdoors season, beginning with Saturday’s Don Gooden Invite at Mendota.

Here’s a rundown of the area’s six track and field squads:

Al Baldonado: The Hall cross country ace seeks first state track medal.

John Barnes: The St. Bede junior qualified for state in both weights last year.

Lenny Mead: The Princeton junior is returning 2A state qualifier in 300 hurdles.

Drew Pranka: The Princeton senior is a returning 2A state qualifier in hurdles.

Kai Tomaszewski: The Princeton junior is a returning state qualifier and Honor Roll leader in 400.

Storm coach Jeff Ohlson can point to the make-up of the 2015 edition of the Bureau Valley Storm varsity track and field squad this spring as both a strength and weakness. Having 21 sophomores and freshmen to go with just eight upperclassmen will provide depth, young enthusiasm and hard work, he said. On the other hand, that mix will call for much inexperience.

“The boys come with a great attitude and excitement and look forward to competing every day in practice and at every meet. They will get better as the season goes and surprise performances will develop all throughout the season,” Ohlson said.

The Storm will be

led by seniors Chase Pierce (throws), Tyler Gonigam (throws/middle distance) and Keegan Mooney (throws), Luca Nitschmann (jumps, middle distance, relays), Jed Barnes (throws), Errold Humphrey (middle distance/ relays), and Michael Trujillo (middle distance/relays).

Junior Trey Dale will provide leadership in the jumps, sprints and relays with a year of varsity experience under his belt.

Ohlson will also lean on sophomores Michael Eastwood (jumps, sprints, relays) and Hunter Schoff (hurdles, jumps, sprint).

Lee Eshleman (throws), Gailen Gibson (jumps, sprints), Alex Elmore (jumps, sprints), Nick Glubczynski (throws), Hunter Lewis (throws)

“We go into each meet just trying to make ourselves better in our events,” Foes said. “Our ultimate goals always remain the same. We want to try and qualify as many events as we can for state at the end of the year.

“The kids are working hard, and both teams are intent on preparing for their events and can’t wait to contribute this season.

But it will be a learning experience as the season goes on, and I’m sure there will be some growing pains. As a coach, it’s a great challenge and one the coaching staff is looking forward to,” SBA coach Mike Skoflanc said.

Junior John Barnes was a state qualifier in both weights last year, breaking the JV shot record last year with a 48-1 effort and was the Most Improved Athlete last year.

Classmate Baylee Hopps was a Co-MVP last year and missed qualifying for state in the triple jump, breaking the JV record at 42-1. He will also run the 300 hurdles.

Jeff Barnes (400 up) is the lone senior.

Skoflanc said soph Brady Shipp will be a welcomed addition to the team’s sprints and jumps and relays. Other squad members include junior John Keresotes, sophomores Justin Darnell, Carter Funfsinn, Gavin Garcia, Jerimiah Johnson, Michael Manning, Joe Marenda and freshmen Jacob Croissant, Bret Dannis, Rory Dirks, Jacob Jagiella, Michael McCutcheon, Daryl Senica and Luke Wamhoff.

The Red Devils will also look to get their 4x100 relay back to Charleston on the legs of seniors Aaron Rybarczyk, Leonel Perez and Joe Alvares and junior Patrick Einhaus.

Along with Baldonado, the Red Devils turn to senior Luke Lee-Brown, juniors Moises Aldana, John Delaney and sophomore Gage Ripka and freshman Westley Schmidt in long distance. Running middle distance are juniors Ryan Shilkuski and Nick Stoner and Schmidt.

St. Bede senior Sam Halm recently signed with Illinois State University to continue his football career. He was joined by his parents, Rendy (front row, left) and Jay; and (back row) SBA athletic director Tom McGunnigal and coaches Bill Booker, John Bellino and Jim Eustice.

Halm signs with Redbirds

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

PERU — Sam Halm has been an all-around athlete for St. Bede Academy.

It will be football that he continues to pursue at the next level.

Halm will be taking his talents to Illinois State University to play football. He signed with the Redbirds last week as a preferred walk-on, with the understanding he will eventually get to the scholarship level.

At ISU, he will join a football program that competed for the national championship last season.

He said ISU fulfills both his academic and athletic desires.

“I chose ISU, because of the strong business program they have which I plan to be a part of. Also their athletic teams are very successful, especially their football team which made it to the FCS national championship,” he said.

Halm, who said he also considered Augustana College, Butler University and Monmouth College, is grateful for the support he got along the way.

“I’d like to thank my coaches for helping me get to where I am today with football and my friends and family who always motivated me and pushed me to be the best player I could be,” Halm said.
