SPRING VALLEY — Stu-dents at Hall High School will be given the oppor-tunity to take dual credit classes starting in the spring of 2015. The board unanimously approved the new policy which will allow seniors to attend college classes during the winter semester, while earning both high school and col-lege credits.

This program is a privi-lege for academically-motivated students, and therefore, standards to participate are high. Stu-dents must have a 4.0 grade point average out of 5.0; must have not missed more than three days of school the prior semester with no unexcused absenc-es; must have an exempla-ry discipline record; and students will need to write a 500-word essay. Students also will need two recom-mendations from teachers and will complete a selec-tion interview with the administration and guid-ance department. Students will pay their own college tuition and fees.

Also at Wednesday’s school board meeting, the board approved the school’s Code of Conduct policy for the next school year, following a lengthy discussion. One major change is that student ath-letes who violate the Code of Conduct shall not be recommended for any All Conference Team awards during the season in which they violate the code, and

SPRING VALLEY — The new John F. Kennedy build-ing addition project is hon-ing in on its completion date.

At the Spring Valley Elementary School Board meeting on Wednesday, architect Bill VanDusen reported the project was 93 percent completed.

During the past month, many of the construction trades have been finishing up with their last jobs and are working on final details.

In his construction prog-ress report, VanDusen said painting in the classrooms is nearing completion; the hanging of the ceiling clouds in the multi-purpose room is almost finished; the gymnasium and stage floor-ing in being laid; the gymna-sium bleachers have arrived on site and will be installed when the flooring work is completed; cabinetry is being hung in classrooms; the kitchen equipment has been installed; carpentry is being laid down in the choir room; and lockers are being installed in the main cor-ridor.

On the outside of the building addition, the trade trailers have been removed from the parking lot, along with storage units and debris, and construc-tion workers have poured the first section of the new parking lot.

The Illinois Depart-ment of Transportation is expected to spend about $11 million in Bureau County road work projects this year, as detailed in the department’s 2014 Capital Bill Projects plan.

Transportation Sec-retary Ann Schneider announced the 2014 Capi-tal Bill Projects earlier this month. As part of IDOT’s Capital Strategic Plan to build the 21st Century transportation workforce.

“Transportation drives economic development. As the country’s freight hub, we are in an enviable

position in Illinois to take advantage of the oppor-tunities to compete in today’s global economy,” Schneider said. “Both the public and private sectors are in agreement that we need to be doing every-thing we can to meet the workforce demands of our constantly chang-ing industry. This Human

Capital Strategic Plan will serve to build a com-mon foundation on which we can work together to transform transportation for tomorrow.”

Among the local proj-ects detailed in the 2014 Capital Bill Projects plan for Bureau County are the following:

• Resurfacing and cold

milling work on Route 6/34 from west of Hazel-wood Drive in Wyanet to Main Street in Princeton, a distance of 5.9 miles. The project cost is estimated at $1.9 million.

• Resurfacing and cold milling work on Route 34 from north of LaMoille to the LaSalle County line, for a distance of 5.85 miles.

The estimated cost of the project is $1.6 million.

• Resurfacing and cold milling work for Route 26 from the Lee County line to Route 92, for 2.2 miles. Estimated cost is $600,000.

• Additional lanes, inter-section reconstruction, curb and gutter storm

Ridin’ the storm out ...The impending storm Thursday night was photographed over the home of Mike and Suzanne Denton on Route 26, about five miles north of Princeton. Thunderstorms which have included rain, thunder, lightning and a bit of wind have been a frequent visitor during the past few days in Bureau County. The National Weather Service issued flash flood warnings earlier in the week, especially for areas around LaMoille.

VanDusen is still looking at a completion date of July 28.

Superintendent Jim Hermes took a moment on Wednesday to recognize the work accomplished by Wil-liams Brothers Construc-tion.

“It’s a beautiful building, and in a few months we will have our first board meeting in that building,” he said.

Hermes pointed out all he has learned during the construction progress and recognized Phil Heppard, Chris Rossman and Matt Cochran for their hard work and leadership skills during

the year-long project.Hermes said he’s been

happy with the work that has been done and is look-ing forwarded to the new building addition in the next couple months.

Property taxesHermes also briefly

reported on property taxes.He reminded 75 percent

of the new building addi-tion project was funded by the state, and while the school district has a $5 mil-lion bond out, it has been being paid on for the last five years.

“With the taxpayers, bills are not going up because of the building addition proj-ect. They have already been paying for it for five years,”

he said. “(Taxes) have gone up slightly due to a drop in EAV (equalized assessed valuation) because proper-ty values have all dropped, but that’s all over. It’s just a trend throughout the coun-try.”

Hermes said he can’t mention it enough, but there should be no surprises on taxes on the Spring Val-ley Elementary School Dis-trict’s end.

Safe routes to schoolHermes said he received

a call from Spring Valley Mayor Walt Marini, who said the city council was going to continue in the direction they wanted with the traffic light at Strong Avenue, despite the school

board’s disagreement with the decision.

“This week, a couple of community (members) expressed concerns over students walking down Strong Avenue,” Hermes said. “Some people have requested doing a survey with parents to let people know what everyone is thinking about students walking down Strong Ave-nue.”

There was no further dis-cussion on the topic.

Want it to survive? Leave it alone,

IDNR says

By Kathleen a. SchultzShaw Media Service

MOUNT MORRIS – The little black bear that’s been wandering around northern Illinois the past few weeks was 20 feet up an oak tree, southwest of Mount Morris off Lowell Park Road, Wednesday afternoon.

He was being ogled, photoed and filmed by a few dozen people until police came to break up the crowd. By evening, he managed to make it down the tree and wander off.

An audience, experts say, is the last thing he needs.

The bear’s best chance of survival is for people to keep their distance, so he can find his way back to his natural habitat and not become accustomed to humans, said Chris Young, a spokesman with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

“We have been counsel-ing people to leave him alone. So far, it’s been going really well, so we’re going to keep reiterating that message,” Young said.

Not only are crowds of onlookers stressing out the bear, but they’re also irritating the people on whose property they’re trampling.

“People need to be aware that you can’t go on private property without permission. Landowners are getting testy,” said Act-ing Capt. Laura Petreikis

with the Illinois Conser-vation Police. “We want to protect the bear, but we’re also going to protect the property that the bear goes onto.”

That means anyone caught trespassing on pri-vate property, blocking a roadway or creating any other kind of hazard will be ticketed by the conser-vation police or any other law enforcement agency involved, she said.

“It’s fine to view the bear from a distance, but we want to leave it alone so it doesn’t become aggres-sive,” she said. “Give it its space. It’s like any other wild animal, and you should never corner or chase any wild animal.”

The bruin is likely a young male, pushed out of his home territory by adults and sent off to make his own way in the world, Young said. He’s minding his own business, doing what bears do — looking for a home, and probably a mate.

He’s also not staying in one place. Because he’s not finding suitable habitat here, he seems to be looping his way back toward the Mississippi River, which is a good thing, Young said.

The IDNR does not want to trap him, for a variety of reasons: He’s shown no signs of aggression. Find-ing his own habitat is what he’s supposed to do. No zoo is going to want him, and there’s no reason to lock him up in a research facility ... in short, they want to let the bear be a bear.

“If the bear poses a threat, we will have to re-evaluate, but right now it hasn’t given us any reason to,” Young said.

Illinois once had thou-sands of black bears, but by the mid-1800s, settlers had harvested them all for their meat and hides, so “it’s a special thing that the bear’s here,” he said.

His rarity, though, is what’s making him so

popular — he even has his own Facebook page.

The IDNR is keeping track of the youngster, which was spotted more than a dozen times in DeKalb County last week before being seen Friday afternoon in a large stack of timber on a farm in Ogle County near Rochelle.

Before that, he also was sighted several times in Stephenson, Winnebago and Boone counties, all of which border Wisconsin, where he is believed to have originated.

He’s not the first Ameri-can black bear to ramble through the region.

According to the Illinois Extension Service, on Feb. 3, 2009, IDNR Conserva-tion Police tranquilized a 200-pound black bear boar that had been roam-ing Bureau County. It first was spotted in June 2008 near Sheffield; it was near Neponset when it was caught.

That bear, which was thought to have been in the care of humans before being released or escaping, wasn’t suitable for the wild and was taken to a USDA licensed facility in south-ern Illinois.

The little Ogle County bruin probably won’t be the last to visit the Sauk Valley, either.

“We can probably expect one from time to time,” Young said.

If all goes well, this one should just pad off into his future, wandering off the way he wandered in.

“The best bet is just to let him make his way,” Young said.

Summer energy assistance program announced

Top 5 summer scams to watch for

Gateway holds 27th annual Phone-A-Thon

The Tri-County Oppor-tunities Council (TCOC) is operating the Summer Energy Assistance Pro-gram under the direction of the Illinois Depart-ment of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

The Summer Energy Assistance Program pro-vides a one-time pay-ment of $150 directly to the electric vendor on behalf of the household. The program is designed to assist those house-holds who are at risk during the hot summer months.

According to the state of Illinois, those house-holds are households which have a member 60 years of age or older, a disabled member, a child 5 years old and under, or households which have a medical need for sum-mer assistance.

To receive assis-tance, a household must also prove it meets the income guidelines. A

household must have proof the energy bills are in the applicant’s name, provide photocopies of all household members’ Social Security cards, medical cards or a medi-cal certification from the person’s physician.

The program runs from July 7 through July 23, or until funds are depleted.

The gross income for a household for 30 days prior to the date of appli-cation cannot exceed the following: A one-person household, $1,459; a two-person household, $1,966; a three-person household, $2,474. A four-person household’s income cannot exceed $2,981; a five-person household, $3,489 and a six-person household, $3,996. To find the near-est location to apply, persons may call Tammy Saenz/LIHEAP director at 800-323-5434, Mon-day through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.

CHICAGO — Summer is a great time to take that long-overdue vacation or make much-needed home repairs, but as the weather heats up, so do scams. The Better Business Bureau is warning consumers about these pop-ular summer scams.

• Beware of summer con-cert ticket scams. Before pay-ing for concert tickets online, make sure the seller is repu-table. Oftentimes, phony sellers will trick consumers into wiring money with no intention of sending real tickets. Most concert venues now allow ticket holders to print tickets from personal computers, which also gives scammers the opportunity to sell the same ticket over and over to unsuspecting consumers. Be wary of sell-ers who offer a sad tale as to why they cannot use the tick-ets, only accept cash, want

the money wired or trans-ferred through a prepaid account or pressure you to act quickly.

• Be wary of high pres-sure door-to-door sales tactics. Many legitimate companies use door-to-door sales, and various city ordinances regulate solicitors to protect resi-dents from unscrupulous individuals. However, con-sumers need to watch for individuals who try to work their way around the sys-tem to line their pockets. Many door-to-door sales-men offer deals for every-thing from driveway paving to air conditioning repair to security systems. Before saying yes, get all promises in writing including start and finish dates. Never sign a contract that has an open-ended completion date or blank spaces.

• Keep your belongings safe during your move. Sum-mer is the peak time of year for changing residencies, and unlicensed movers and dishonest scammers are waiting to take advantage of the busy season. Always research the company and check out the mover’s BBB Business Review at bbb.org. Not all price quotes online or over the phone are legitimate (or binding) and crooks are not likely to send an estima-tor to your home in advance. Also remember the lowest estimate can sometimes be an unrealistic low-ball offer which may cost you more in the end.

• Don’t let a scam ruin your vacation. Fake travel agents and websites are known for touting too-good-to-be-true deals in the hopes of get-ting your money in return. Whether it’s a fake timeshare

rental or a falsely promised Disney vacation, don’t let a vacation scam take you for a ride. Make sure the offer is legitimate first. If there is no BBB Business Review on the company, dig deeper. Google the phone number or website to see if others report problems.

• Beware of job scams that can turn a hot summer cold. Finding summer employ-ment is a top priority for most college and high school stu-dents. Don’t let the seasonal job hunt turn into a huge waste of time and money. Always be wary of employers who require fees for training and background checks or tout “no experience need-ed.” BBB considers these red flags for employment scams.

PRINCETON — Upon celebrating 44 years of assistance, Gateway Ser-vices Inc. has announced its 27th annual Phone-A-Thon, which will be held Monday and Tues-day at Heartland Bank and Trust in Princeton.

The Phone-A-Thon, Gateway Services’ larg-est fundraising event, is similar to a telethon. Volunteer callers work to contact past support-ers of Gateway Services. More than 20 volunteers dedicate their time to ensure the Phone-A-Thon’s success.

This year, Gateway Services has set a goal to raise $45,000. Funds raised will be used to continue to provide quality services to chil-dren and adults with disabilities in Bureau, Marshall and Putnam counties.

“The success of the Phone-A-Thon and other fundraising efforts are more crucial than ever,” said Mandi Johnson, Gateway Ser-vices vice president of finance. “If the state tax decreases back to 3 percent, the funding to Gateway Services and other organizations like ours will be cut. Because of this potential set-back, we are asking our supporters to increase their donations by $20.”

Area businesses gen-

erously donate prizes and offer sponsorships that are awarded to the top volunteer callers, and are also sponsor-ing the two-day event. Phone-A-Thon sponsors and donors are Midland States Bank, Heartland Bank, Annie’s Little Pots, Hornbaker Gardens, Princeton Public Library, Festival 56, Wyaton Hills Golf Course, Sophis-ticuts and Good Scents.

Volunteers will kick off the event with phone calls starting at 6:30 p.m. on Monday and con-cluding at 8:30 p.m. The same schedule will be followed on Tuesday.

The Phone-A-Thon will be sending out let-ters to past supporters if they are not reached by phone during the event.

Gateway Services, Inc. is a 501(c)3 charitable not-for-profit corpora-tion headquartered out of Princeton which pro-vides services to individ-uals with disabilities.

For more information, to donate or sponsor the Phone-A-Thon, or to donate to the Phone-A-Thon, please contact Gateway Services at 815-875-4548.

Donations are also accepted on www.gate-way-services.org, under the “Help” tab. Make sure to label a donation in the description box as Phone-A-Thon.

they will not be able to serve as a team captain in any sport throughout their high school career.

The second major change is that a student athlete who self reports to a coach or sponsor within 48 hours of being charged or ticketed for a felony, misdemeanor or any act that is prohibited by the Code of Conduct will have their consequences reduced by 25 percent on their first offense only. If the student enrolls in an approved counseling pro-gram, the consequences shall be reduced by an additional 25 percent.

Superintendent Mike Struna also provided the board with academ-ic growth data. The data clearly shows the inter-ventions being imple-mented for freshmen are working. Students are given the Explore Test in eighth grade and then again in ninth grade. In English, 52 percent of the students were at bench-mark as eighth-graders, and 76 percent were at benchmark in ninth grade. In reading 49 percent were at benchmark as eighth-graders and 62 percent as ninth-graders. In math 37 percent were at bench-mark as eighth-graders and 66 percent as ninth-graders.

The scores did not show as much improvement for sophomores and juniors. Struna indicated this is any area of concern and will be addressed by the Response to Intervention Program (RTI).

Struna was also excited to share the projected 2014 graduation rate will be 87 percent, which is up from 78 percent in 2013. Of the 13 students who did not

graduate with their class, seven transferred to Hall after their freshmen year.

Assistant Principal Angie Carpenter and counselor Brittney Berger discussed the RTI Program for the 2014-15 school year. The program provides inter-ventions for all students by their classroom teacher and homeroom teacher but with more extensive interventions for students receiving Ds and Fs in classes. Carpenter is hop-ing these interventions help reach those sopho-mores and juniors who are not meeting benchmark.

Every Tuesday, teachers will be required to turn in grades, and the RTI team will monitor them and take action accordingly. Every Wednesday, classes will be shortened to pro-vide a 52-minute home-room for RTI.

During this homeroom, students will have the chance to meet with their RTI case manager or coun-

selor, receive tutoring help from National Honor Soci-ety tutors, meet with their teachers for additional support, and will have access to the computer labs to complete assign-ments.

Juniors and seniors who do not have any Ds or Fs will be allowed to leave school at 1:58 p.m. every Wednesday. Struna hopes this encourages those stu-dents to do better.

Another addition to the RTI program is that all students will participate in half day activities that support college and career readiness and the Path-ways Initiative. Students will be given the oppor-tunity to learn about goal setting, educational plan-ning, and career explora-tion, as well as organiza-tional and study skills. Stu-dents will also have the opportunity to attend field trips to IVCC and the Area Career Center.

Action was taken on

several extracurricu-lar programs. The board approved the wres-tling co-op with Putnam County High School. The girls’ soccer program was dropped due to a lack of participation. Freshmen football will continue for one year and then be re-evaluated. Freshmen girls’ basketball will be evaluat-ed in September after the organizational meeting, and a coach will be hired if there is enough interest. Freshmen boys’ basketball will continue, since there is a high interest. Struna

said, “Money is tight, and we need to keep our eyes on these programs.”

Also at the meeting, Tony Orlandi of Leopardo Construction updated the board on the progress of the construction of the new Hall High School. The electrical trade package for Bid No. 3B was award-ed to JB Contracting ear-lier in the month, and the remaining two trades are still being reviewed by the project team.

Bid packages for fin-ishes, miscellaneous steel, carpentry, site improve-ments and demolition are currently in the final stag-es of design and expected to be available for subcon-tractor bidding in July.

Orlandi said, “The proj-ect is going well and is cur-rently meeting its budget, schedule and performance goals. We are very pleased with the local participa-tion of on-site tradesmen to date.”

In other news:• The board recognized

several students who had qualified for state in track.

• The six new employ-ees were introduced to the board.

• Struna provided the board with data showing the benefits of leasing a second activity bus. The board will vote on that next month.

The next meeting is set for 6 p.m. July 16 in the library.

From Page 1Struna clarifies tax rates

SPRING VALLEY — Hall High School Superintendent Mike Struna released the following statement at the Hall High School Board meeting Wednesday night.

“With the recent release of property tax bills in Bureau County, the Hall High School Board of Education would like to clarify the tax rate increase levied by the Hall High School Board of Education was consistent with the rate increase that was acknowledged during the referendum.

“The rate increase of $1.05 was the projected rate increase at the time of the referendum vote, and the actual rate increase that taxpayers are seeing this month is in fact $1.05.

“In December of 2013, when the Hall High School Board of Educa-tion reviewed the proposed tax levy, the rate at that time was projected to increase by $1.12 due to the fact that the EAV in Hall Township did not increase by the 1 percent as was projected at the time of the referendum campaign. Consequently, the board of education reduced the customary tax rate in the Building Fun by two cents and also reduced the customary tax rate in the Health, Life Safety Fund by five cents. The result of the reduction in these two funds reduced the final tax levy increase down to $1.05, which was indicated by the board during the referendum campaign.

“The Hall High School Board of Education will continue to review the annual tax levy for the purpose of keeping the rate as low as possible while still providing an effective education for the students of Hall Township High School. The board also appreciates the ongoing and generous financial sup-port of the taxpayers of Hall Township.”

Grove, formerly of Mendota, died peacefully Tuesday afternoon, June 17, 2014, in Medina Manor in Durand after battling ALS for more than two years.

Warren was born March 10, 1942, in Mendota, the son of James C. and Mildred E. (Rapp) Manning. Following his graduation from LaMoille High School, he entered the U.S. Air Force, serving from October 1960 to Octo-ber 1964. Warren was stationed at Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base in Grandview, Mo., and during this time he met his wife, Maureen. Warren and Maureen K. Burns were married May 23, 1964, in Kansas City, Mo. Follow-ing his discharge from the Air Force, he and Maureen returned to Mendota. Warren worked for Hart-Carter (formerly Hume) from 1964 to 1969; he then became a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service with more than 30 years of service to the Mendota area. After retirement, he worked as a driver for Mendota Area Senior Services (MASS). He enjoyed fishing, walking, Chicago White Sox baseball, country music and a cold beer. Warren’s fam-ily will remember him as a devoted husband, father and grandfather, who placed his family first in all things.

Warren is loved and will be missed by his wife, Maureen of Poplar Grove; two daughters, Lisa M. (Paul) Nolden of Poplar Grove and Linda L. Manning of Poplar Grove; two grandsons, David P. Nolden of DeKalb and Benjamin M. (Lauren) Nolden of Buda; his sisters and brother, Joan Lamkin, John “Jack” (Donna) Manning and Kay (Mike) Scott, all of Mendota; his brothers-in-law, Keith (Pat) Corrigan of Mendota, Dwayne (Carol) Burns of Kansas City, Mo., and Jerry Moore of Edmond, Okla.; a sister-in-law, Kathy (Neil Barnhart) Yancey of Grain Valley, Mo.; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Warren was preceded in death by his parents; a broth-er, Robert; a sister, Anita Corrigan; and a sister in-law, Marilyn Moore.

A party in honor of Warren’s life will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorials in Warren’s name can be given in care of ALS Association, 1225 K Street NW, Suite 250, Washington, D.C. 20005 or www.ALSA.org.

Connections — The Apollo Theater and

Henri’s Bakery

By Bartlett lee KassaBaum

special to the Bcr

Editor’s note: This is the final part in a three-part series on Rich-ard Widmark’s connections in Princeton.

Harris Brothers restaurant and bakery was at 514 S. Main St. in Princeton for 40 years in 1925. Fred A. and Edward E. Harris were bakers, and they also served meals along with the assortment of baked confections. They sold the business to Henry P. Nelson and Carl Henry Widmark in 1925. Wid-mark’s family joined him in Princ-eton and lived in the apartment upstairs. They quit serving meals, ran it as just a bakery, and it was called Henri’s Bakery.

The name Henry was an obvious choice, and spelling it as Henri’s gave it a French twist. The bakery did a good business with many regular customers, but they moved to a new location in late 1928, at 450 S. Main St. where the Uthoff Bakery had been. The Uthoff Bakery moved to 936 N. Main St. Christian G. Heck and his wife, Beryl, opened Heck’s Rexall Store at the 514 S. Main St.

The building, at the new location for Henri’s Bakery, featured two large front windows with awnings, and a setback main entrance. It had Henri’s Bakery in script letter-ing in both front windows. Henry, Carl and Ethel Widmark ran the bakery. Henry was a baker. He, Ethel, and her mother, Mary Barr, did the baking. Carl still traveled as a salesman also.

Henri’s Bakery featured breads, cakes, pies, donuts, rolls, pastries and cookies of all kinds, and you could get a cup of coffee. The store had covered glass display cases with shelves and baskets for breads. The ceiling was imprint copper with ceiling fans. They had several local ladies and high school girls as help, besides son Richard Widmark.

The 450 S. Main St. address would be home to a string of dif-ferent bakeries; Uthoff Bakery (192?-1927), Henri’s Bakery (1928-1931), Blue Ribbon Bakery (1932-1936), Quality Bakery (1937-1945 and 1949-1964), Henning & Son Bakery (south branch) (1946-1948), and McCaslin Bakery (1965-1983). McCaslin Bakery would be the last bakery at this address as it was one of five businesses to succumb to the South Main Street fire of 1983.

When Henri’s Bakery opened there were two other bakeries in Princeton for many years. The Swedish Home Bakery was at 917 N. Main St. when Henri’s opened, and it became Thompson’s Bakery until 1939, then Edna’s Home Bak-ery (1940-1942). Henning & Son(s) Bakery (main branch) opened at the address in 1943 and was in business until 1961. It was Walker’s Bakery in 1962 and Willis Bakery in 1963, 1964 and 1965. The Uthoff Bakery at 450 S. Main St., then at 936 and 934 N. Main St. was in business from the mid 1920s to the start of World War II in the early 1940s. There was a Snow White Bakery at 420 S. Main St. from 1985 to 1994.

The Hays sisters, Daisy and Eli-nore, were in high school before and after Richard Widmark. Daisy was the class of 1928 and Elinore was the class of 1933 at Princeton. Richard was the class of 1932. The Hays sisters worked at Henri’s Bakery waiting on customers.

Daisy worked during the week, as she was out of school, and Elinore worked mostly on the weekends. Richard knew them both, but Eli-nore a little better as she was just a year behind him. Richard worked after school and weekends at the bakery when he could. He had to juggle this with his homework, part of the year football practice, and working at The Apollo Theater.

The Hayes sisters got along great with him, enjoyed working at the bakery, and thought the Widmark family was very easy to work for. Daisy Hays married soon after high school and had a daughter, Kay Piper, July 26, 1933. The marriage didn’t last, and Daisy later mar-ried Richard Gottlieb. They moved to Joliet, and Kay went to school there. Kay Piper took her mother’s maiden name and became the actress Kathryn Hays, starting her career in 1952 on the daytime soap opera “The Guiding Light.”

She worked in television with roles in numerous series and became a cast regular, Kim Sul-livan Hughes, on “As The World Turns” from 1972 to 2010. She co-starred in several made for television movies, worked on Broadway, and was Gem in “The Empath” episode of the original television series “Star Trek” in 1968. She returned to Princeton as grand marshal of the Homestead Parade in 1983. Her first cousin is Ted Johnson (Elinore’s son) who worked as a writer for the BCR and started Johnson’s Carpet Shoppe with his wife, Dorothy. Richard Widmark and Kathryn Hays never worked together on screen, but he worked with her mother at Henri’s Bakery.

Henri’s Bakery could be a bee-hive of activity, especially on week-ends. Like many small family busi-nesses during the depression, the customer was the most important thing, and every nickel counted. Money was tight, and catering to your customer was very important if you wanted to stay in business. You had to know your customers.

Ila Russell was a young 22-year-old wife and mother in 1930. Her first child was Patsy Russell. Ila, her husband, Robert, and 2-year-old daughter lived at 102 S. Church St., a short walk to the south end business district. Ila liked to stop at Henri’s Bakery; she knew the Widmarks and always patron-ized the store. If she had some other shopping to do, she could even leave daughter Patsy in her carriage at the bakery and shop at Frasiers Grocery, Spurgeon’s Mercantile, Ben Franklin or Heck’s

Rexall. Richard Widmark got the job of babysitting her on more than one occasion. Ila Russell was my wife’s grandmother, and Patsy Russell was her aunt. I got to hear the story from Patsy many times while courting my wife, Connie.

The mid 1920s to mid 1930s saw many businesses come and go. The move of Henri’s Bakery from 514 S. Main St. to 450 S. Main St. in late 1928 was just about the start of the Great Depression and close to the end of Prohibition (1919-1933). The Roaring Twenties started out with the illusion of prosperity for all, with the use of automobiles tri-pling after World War I, radios, air conditioning and refrigerators. The decade grew silent when the stock market crashed Oct. 29, 1929. The turmoil and despair that followed into the Great Depression of the 1930s was common place.

While trying to run the bakery and living in Princeton, the Wid-mark family moved practically every year from 1925 to 1932. Carl and Ethel Widmark separated in 1931, and Henri’s Bakery ceased business. They reconciled for a time, living at 2131 Ridge Road, Evanston, while Richard attended Lake Forest College. The marriage ended in 1941. Ethel’s mother, Mary Barr, died in 1938 in Sioux Falls, S.D., and Ethel Mae Wid-mark died in 1957. She and her son, Donald Widmark, who died in 1955, are buried in Hollywood Hills, Calif. Carl Henry Widmark died in 1968 in Louisiana.

You can still see movies at The Apollo Theater, and there has been a resurgence of businesses selling baked goods. Daddy-O’s Donuts, Myrtle’s Cafe and Pie and The Flour House will satisfy your crav-ing for pie, donuts, pastries and a cup of coffee. They are not at the same addresses as those baker-ies of the past, at the north end of Main Street, but not far off. The 450 S. Main St. address that was Henri’s, Blue Ribbon, McCaslin and other bakeries is vacant now, but at 420, where Snow White Bak-ery was, you can still find a home-made delight and coffee at the Four and Twenty Cafe.

I just can’t seem to find a niche for Richard Widmark though, the man I’ve illustrated and been writ-ing about. Give me a call if you have a spot for him. I hope the stories are entertaining, but you’ll have to buy your own coffee and sugared dough. I’m going to stick around anyway and checkout his high school days and classmates next time before we get back to his movies.

Richard Widmark: A Princeton legend

When I grow up, I want to be ...

There are those who, from an early age, show exceptional God-given talent and skills or are driven by a strong inner desire to achieve great things while on this Earth. They have their life’s path mapped out as a toddler and end up changing the world with their immeasurable contributions to humankind.

Then among us are those with dreams and aspirations, for the most part well intentioned; yet as chang-ing and unpredictable as the seasons. I tend to find myself inhabiting the second group, not by choice, but by nature ... a sort of meaningful exis-tence attention disorder.

Occurring at various unrelated times of my life, an endless list of goals has formed — from the whimsical and ridiculous to the unobtainable or incredibly satisfying. Along the way, I’ve dreamt of being a cowboy, a feature writer for MAD magazine or a paleontologist. I’ve aspired to play bass guitar in a funk band, become well known as a world famous hot dog push-cart vendor, or as a wood carver with a knack for whittling exqui-sitely detailed mahogany peg legs. Other pursuits have included being a well meaning husband, an uncommonly cool father, a poet (who didn’t know it), or a landscape design engineer. I have craved the renown I might garner as an abstract artist or a sought after pastry chef. As varied and wide ranging as that list is, there remains one career path yet untraveled ... that of a movie crit-ic. I shall now attempt to rectify this oversight.

Let me state for the record that I am no Siskel. I am no Ebert. I wouldn’t even compare myself to Gene Shalit (though I would sell my soul to grow a Shalit moustache). I find it an almost appalling notion to sit in a musty and dark audi-torium full of strangers who are less than shy about loudly vocalizing their inability to follow insipid dialogue and minor plot twists. Exclud-ing the obligatory parental attendance at Disney animated films over the span of two daughters ... and making a concession for the 387 consecu-tive home viewings of “The Lion King” upon its release to VHS ages ago, the last movie I remem-ber voluntarily attending (or enjoying) was “Driv-ing Miss Daisy” back in 1989. I’ve been coerced into watching others since then, the most recent after my dear wife convinced me (with the help of a massive Hollywood ad campaign) to fork out some hard earned cash on “Captain Phillips.”

For those unfamiliar with the premise of the film, it was a stereotypically simple Hollywood rendering of an actual CNN story (of which the 24/7 news coverage obviously wasn’t enough for those who gorge themselves on the misfortune of others) concerning the capture of a cargo ship by Somali pirates in, of all places, Somali waters.

Tom Hanks plays the lead role as Captain Phil-lips, while affecting an unconvincing New Eng-land accent somewhere between Forrest Gump and Ted Kennedy. The first hour of the film plods along as Hanks drones on about how to recog-nize Somali pirates, how to elude Somali pirates, how to interact with Somali pirates, etc., while the remaining 74 tension-filled minutes elevates to a snail’s pace as Hanks spends it bobbing in a lifeboat while being punched in the face and cursed at by (you guessed it) Somali pirates. On a positive note, the pirates were real actors and not stiffly animated computer-generated images.

And there you have it. Now that I’m an official film critic, I anxiously anticipate filling out next year’s Academy Awards ballot. Until then, I think I’ll master the accordion or take up home den-tistry.

They are the parents of four children, Bill (Tere-sa) Prince, Amy Merritt, Wendy (Bob) Covers and Rob (Bobbie) Maggio. They also have 10 grand-children, Brittany (Bob) O’Hagan, Kelsey (Kyle) Milborn, Emilee and Ethan Covers, Tristin, Ili-anna and Aaden Maggio, Ashton and Jacob Prince,

and Cody Merritt; and one great-grandson, Jameson O’Hagan.

Bob retired from Labor-er’s Local 727 after 30 years. Marilyn had various jobs — the most recent being a receptionist at Ace Hardware Distribution Center and being an asso-ciate of Pioneer Research.

Renaissance Program honors birthdaysMANLIUS — Bureau

Valley High School has introduced a student incentive project called the Renaissance Program. This fledgling project is run by an executive coun-cil of 12 students: three freshman, three sopho-mores, three juniors and three seniors. Literally a program for the people and by the people, the Renaissance Program’s mission is to reach out to students to try to make their school lives more fun and help to recog-nize students for working hard.

Renaissance has insti-tuted BV Fridays, which is when students are pass-ing all classes, are wearing Bureau Valley attire and have their assignment notebook with them on Fridays in study hall they are released 10 minutes early. Renaissance cards are another reward in which students can earn cards each semester with different rewards depend-ing on their GPA, atten-dance and discipline.

The Students and Staff of the month recognizes 13 nominated students and one nominated staff member each month honoring them with a

breakfast, certificate and gift card. Renaissance also sponsors semester field trips in which 35 students are nominated by the dif-ferent staff departments to attend a fully funded field trip for a day. Renais-sance has also printed hundreds of pictures fea-turing students during all

kinds of activities which are framed around the school. All of these incen-tives and rewards are designed to recognize not only the accomplished but also those who are trying their hardest.

Every program the Renaissance Council has designed is to reward and

encourage the student body to do their best, but in the new student rec-ognition program, they decided to let them have their cake, and eat it too! One of the latest incen-tives, the “Let them eat cake” project, makes sure nobody’s birthday passes by without being noticed. Birthdays and half-birth-days (a day approximately six months before or after someone’s birthday) are read at the beginning of each week, making sure that the students are aware of their friends’ birthdays, and whose classroom they should stand outside of when Senora Eller’s Spanish class goes to “Feliz Cum-pleanos” (Happy Birth-day) to a teacher on their birthday. Once a month, Mrs. Boyle, the Renais-sance coordinator, brings in cake for all the birth-days in the current month. The cake, available during both lunches, is served by Renaissance members, including Sadie Reinbeck, Hailey Atherton, Logan Twidell, Thomas Samuels, Jed Barnes, Rachel Brum-mel, Jenna Hansen, Justin Fisher, Kaitlyn Ptasnik, Chase Gripp, Tiana Ken-nedy and Lexie Jacobs.

IHSA waiver, ‘success factor’ put on holdMcGunnigal: Only

delaying the inevitableBy Kevin Hieronymus

[email protected]

BLOOMINGTON — The new mul-tiplier waiver and “success factor,” expected to be implemented by the Illinois High School Association this upcoming school year has been put on hold for a year.

The IHSA Board of Directors met at its regularly scheduled meeting at the IHSA office in Bloomington on Monday where the Board made the decision to delay the implementa-tion of recently adopted changes to

IHSA Policy 17, including the new multiplier waiver and “success fac-tor”, until the 2015-16 school year. The Board initially enacted changes to Policy 17, based on the recom-mendation of a committee, at its meeting in February.

“The Board believes that the changes approved to Policy 17 in February will help maintain com-petitive balance in the state,” Wau-conda High School Principal and IHSA Board President Dan Klett said in an IHSA release. “However, con-versations with school personnel in our respective districts led the Board to believe that more education and feedback was needed before imple-menting these changes.”

Tom McGunnigal, athletic direc-tor for St. Bede Academy, believes this announcement is simply going to delay the inevitable for private schools.

“If it ever comes to a vote and you get a 100 percent of the vote, private school and non-public schools are in a minority,” he said.

The IHSA Board approved a minor change to the “success factor.” The original policy language called for a school to be subject to the “success factor” if they won two state final trophies over a four-year period. Monday’s change will now require that one of the two trophies be won

The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) learned Wednesday that a second hearing has been sched-uled for the IHSA with the Illinois General Assembly’s Elementary & Secondary Education Committee. The committee held its first hearing with the IHSA on May 20 at the Capitol Building in Springfield.

According to the Illinois General Assembly website, the hearing is scheduled for July 8 at noon in room C600 of the Bilandic building in Chicago.

“We are ready to go,” said IHSA Executive Director Marty Hickman. “We just hope that it is a big room and

Hall elects to drop girls soccer

By Kevin [email protected]

Hall High School is crunching numbers for some of its sports pro-gram.

While the Hall School Board of Education renewed the wres-tling co-op with Put-nam County High School, its girls’ soccer program was dropped due to a lack of participa-tion. The team had played with a full squad at times this spring.

The board is also taking a strong look at the freshmen level for some sports. Freshmen football will continue this fall and then be re-eval-uated. Freshmen girls’ basketball, which has also struggled with num-bers, will be evaluated in September after the orga-nizational meeting, and a coach will be hired if there is enough interest.

“Money is tight, and we need to keep our eyes on these program,” Hall superintendent Mike Struna said.

There is high interest in freshmen boys’ basket-ball, Struna said, so that will continue,

Princeton’s Bob James was scheduled to assist

The Lady Panthers reached the Elite Eight this spring, falling to Amboy 1-0 in the Super-sectionals.

Former Putnam County baseball coach Dave Gar-cia, now head coach at Parkland College, will be hosting the fourth annual Midwest Prospect Show-case in August at Park-land College.

There were more 140 kids last year in atten-dance and Garcia said it continues to grow. There were 103 athletes who received a scholarship coming out of this show-case, Garcia said.

“Being from the IV I know that it is hard for these guys to get noticed,” Garcia said. “This is an opportunity for them to come compete against kids from Ohio, Indiana, and other parts of Illinois and be evaluated by some of the top D1 programs in the Midwest.

The showcase camp will be held at Parkland College in Champaign on Aug. 10 or 11. Cost is $150 per athlete. For more information, visit www.controlledchaosbaseball.com.

that we have the opportu-nity to call witnesses this time around.”

At the hearing on May 20, the room initially scheduled to host the hearing was unable to accommodate the nearly 100 high school admin-istrators, coaches and community leaders who traveled to Springfield in support of the IHSA. Com-mittee members debated on whether the hearing should continue, until eventually a larger room became available. Most of the remainder of the

hearing featured Hickman testifying, and the hearing concluded before the IHSA had the opportunity to call any witnesses.

“Many of the commit-tee’s questions would be better answered by indi-viduals from our member schools,” said Hickman. “Folks have already begun reaching out to our office about attending, so we expect to have a huge con-tingent of support once again in Chicago, and the same in Southern Illinois when the time comes. We hope they have their chance to speak on July 8.”

No date has been announced for a similiar proposed meeting in the southern area of the state.

in the two most recent school years in order for a school to be subject to the “success factor.”

McGunnigal believes the private and non-public schools are being unfairly targeted for having suc-cess.

“Basically, what it is, private schools, some pri-vate schools, win too many state championship, pri-vate schools win too many regional champions, too many sectional champion-ships. They have too much success and people don’t like that and they come up with policies like this. It’s just kids playing games,” McGunnigal said

“The thing about the success factor, you’re going to penalize kids who are in the seventh grade, sixth grade, fifth grade, whatever, for what peo-ple older than them have accomplished. It’s not the kids that are accomplish-ing things. It’s going to punish a future generation because kids ahead of you are good. What logic does that come from.”

The Board has charged the IHSA staff with devel-oping a presentation on the changes and how they affect membership, which they will present as a part of the annual Town Hall Meetings held in Novem-ber.

“The changes to Policy 17 are significant, so it is important that the mem-bership has a strong grasp on their history and imple-mentation,” said IHSA Executive Director Marty Hickman. “The ‘success factor’ will affect about 3 percent of the mem-bership, but the waiver changes will have a con-siderably larger impact. It will be a positive step to gain feedback from the membership, as well as to make sure we have a full understanding on how these changes influence other factors, such as clas-sification cutoffs.”

• In other news, the Board approved a rec-ommendation to accept hosting proposals for the IHSA Boys and Girls Bas-ketball State Finals. Pro-posals will encompass the tournaments from 2015-16 through 2019-20. The Board anticipates announcing the result of

the proposals following its meeting in March, 2015.

“In no way does this decision construe that we are unhappy or expect-ing to change venues for either event. However, our Board feels like it is healthy for the process to open up these bids on occasion,” Hickman said. “Certainly Peoria has written its own chapter in the storied his-tory of March Madness, while innovating with the introduction of the March Madness Experience, an event many other asso-ciations from around the country have tried to emu-late. Meanwhile, Illinois State University and Red-bird Arena have become synonymous with high school girls basketball in the state of Illinois.”

The Board also approved a recommendation to extend the state final host-ing proposals for girls golf at Red Tail Run Golf Course (Class A) and Hick-ory Point Golf Club (Class AA) in Decatur. The exten-sion runs from 2015-2019.

The Board approved a recommendation to form a sub-committee consisting of members of the Athletic Administrators Advisory Committee to review IHSA Policy 18: Grouping and Seeding State Tournament Series. The committee will be charged with reviewing the use of Sub-Sectional formats statewide in team bracketed sports and the football playoff system.

“The move to true geo-graphic regional assign-ments occurred about a decade ago in response to school administra-tors looking to cut travel costs when gas prices were hitting all-time highs,” Hickman said. “Through-out the years, there have certainly been isolated instances where schools have voiced frustration over a regional’s perceived strength or lack there-of. Over the past year or so, that voice has grown louder from conferences and schools around the state. The Board believes that it is sensible to have a committee review those policies and make a rec-ommendation for how we create postseason assign-ments moving forward.”

Raffle drawing winners announced

Learning life skills through Junior Nationals

The Bureau County Friends of 4-H and Exten-sion held its cash raffle fundraiser drawing on June 13.

Dorothy Nelson, bank-ing associate of Princeton Centrue Bank, drew the winning tickets. Fours cash prizes were award-ed. James Eble of Brad-ford was awarded $2,500. Kathy Doll of Arlington

won $1,000. Doyle Farms in Henry was awarded $500. Cheryl Benske of DePue won $250.

All proceeds from the event will be used to sup-port the 4-H and Exten-sion educational pro-grams in Bureau County. The proceeds will be matched with sate funds and used for local servic-es and programming.

As I get ready to go to the Shorthorn and Sim-mental Junior Nationals this year, which are both in Louisville, Ky., I think back to all the life skills I learned through the dif-ferent contests.

At both events, I will have the opportunity to participate in livestock judging, showmanship, public speaking, sales talk and cattlemen’s quiz/quiz bowl. All of these con-tests have their own way of preparing me for my future.

Livestock judging can be difficult at first, but I was able to quickly catch on by participating in live-stock judging in 4-H. In livestock judging I place four animals from the one I like the most to the one I like the least. With plac-ing them, I also have to answer questions about the animals and give a set of oral reasons on why I placed the class the way I did.

The judging part and answering the questions helps teach me to pay attention to details, and the oral reasons help me with public speak-ing. When I am older, I hope to judge livestock at shows like the Shorthorn

and Simmental Junior Nationals, so this will help me to become a better judge.

Showmanship is anoth-er great contest because it is a competition every-one can participate in. Showmanship is where you take your animal out and you show how well you can show the animal. The judge will also ask you questions to see how much you know about that animal.

This contest has taught me to be ready for any-thing because you never know what questions the judge may ask. It has also taught me how to stay focused and to concen-trate because I have to make sure that my animal looks good, and at the same time know where the judge is standing in the ring.

Public speaking is dif-ferent at the two nation-als, and both ways have benefited me in different ways. At the Shorthorn

Junior National the speech is a prepared speech that I can write before I get to the contest. This helps prepare me for the future by showing me how to prepare a speech for talking in front of crowds.

On the other hand, at the Simmental Junior Nationals, the public speaking is an extempo-raneous speech where I am given a choice of three topics, and I have 30 min-utes to prepare the speech and then give it to two or three judges. This helps prepare me for the future by helping me to be able to quickly write a speech and give to a crowd if needed. I have eas-ily learned that by doing both types of the contests it has been easier to talk in class or to our school.

Sales talk is another contest that is a little dif-ferent between the two national shows, but it all has the same theory — you try to sell the calf. At Shorthorn Junior Nation-als, I work with a team-mate to sell the animal, so it is both of us putting in our own parts to it, which helps me learn and build teamwork skills. Whereas, at the Simmental Junior

Nationals, I work by myself to sell the animal, and this teaches me how to talk to other people in the industry and it will help me when I’m older with my salesmanship.

The cattlemen’s quiz/quiz bowl helps me in a few different ways. It teaches me about each breed individually. Also, it helps me to study and be sharp with different gen-eral questions on cattle, so that when I am older, I know these facts and don’t have to always call someone. I will also know the right information when others ask questions about different breeds.

These contests teach me lots of great things and prepare me for the future, but one of the greatest rewards I get out of going to cattle shows like these are the friends and people I meet. I look forward to mentoring my brothers when they are old enough to do these contests, so that they can gain the same life skills I have learned over the years.

Clay Sundberg will be a freshman at LaMoille High School this fall. He helps raise cattle on his family’s farm in Arlington.
