Happy Birthday, Hall High School

100 years of traditionBy Goldie Currie

[email protected]

SPRING VALLEY — Sun-day is Hall High School’s 100th birthday.

On Nov. 9, 1914, the current school opened its doors to the students of Hall Township.

“It has been a great 100 years for Hall Township,” Superintendent Mike Stru-na said.

And it’s only going to get more exciting, as the con-struction site out front of the current school building molds and forms into what will be the new Hall High School.

According to Struna, the building project is moving right along and has contin-ued to stay on schedule.

Struna said contractors are busy pushing for a goal of enclosing the structure by Thanksgiving. With the roof and windows in place, they will then be able to focus on painting projects and hanging drywall.

The one thing on every-one’s mind right now is what winter will bring. Bitter winter weather con-ditions will unfortunately take a toll on the project progress.

Struna said it won’t be until May when the board will be able to evaluate how far the project has come along to tell whether stu-dents will be going back to school in August, or will have to wait to start after Labor Day.

During a tour of the new building earlier this week,

Struna pointed out several architectural features that will mimic the old building.

The decision to take inspiration from the old building features was a strong decision the school board strived for through the design phase of the new building.

Struna explained it was important to keep a lot of unique features of the old building, as a way to pre-serve the strong tradition of Hall High School, which has served the township all 100 years.

Some of the features Stru-na pointed out included the front entrance into the new school. He explained the entrance way mimics the entrance to the current school; also the three gable arches on the new structure were also meant to mimic the old school’s architec-ture. Struna said while a final decision has yet to be made for the coloring of the new roof, he is confident it will sport the same red tones similar to the current roofing on the old school.

Many are also familiar with the unique diamond design within the brick on the front wall of the current school building. The same bricks will be salvaged and hung on the walls of the new cafeteria.

Lastly, the prominent stained glass windows that currently hang in the stair-ways of the current school building, which were an original part of the school building in 1914, will be preserved and moved to the new school. Right now, the board is talking about various ideas on where to position the antique pieces.

EMA announces new website

By Goldie [email protected]

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Emergen-cy Management Agen-cy (EMA) has launched a new website to better inform citizens about preparedness and plan-ning for potential disas-ters that could strike at any time.

The Bureau County EMA works with individ-ual communities, utili-ties, churches, business-es and schools to pre-pare them for all types of emergencies.

The agency helps pre-vent, minimize, repair and alleviate injury or damage resulting from natural or man-made disasters, major emer-gencies, enemy attack, sabotage or other hos-tile action in accordance with the Illinois Emer-gency Management Act.

“This is a brand new public outreach that most people don’t know about yet, but we’re try-ing hard to get the word out,” explained Bureau County EMA Director Keenan Campbell. “If there are any hazards

in the county, this web-site will help mitigate and better teach Bureau County about what’s happening out there,”

The agency’s new web-site is also designed to educate about the impor-tance of EMA, why it’s needed and tells about the training, drills and exercises EMA conducts to better plan for emer-gencies.

The website can be accessed at readybureau.com.

Also on the website, citizens can view live data on various water-way conditions and flood watches; check out weather conditions; view summaries of all National Weather Ser-vice watches throughout the country; read the lat-est tweets from Bureau County EMA and sub-mit reports of damage to homes and business following a storm.

Citizens are encour-aged to connect with the EMA Facebook and Twit-ter Feed to keep up with updates when a disas-ter or emergency occurs within the county.

Former U.S. Rep. Lane Evans dies

By Jason Keyser and Pam eGGemeier

Shaw Media Service

CHICAGO — Former Illinois Rep. Lane Evans, a Vietnam War-era Marine who fought for veterans’ rights during his 24 years in the U.S. House, has died after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.

The Democrat died Wednesday at a nursing home in East Moline, said his former congressional staffer, Michael Malm-strom, who also was one of Evans’ legal guardians. He was 63.

Lowell Jacobs, vice chairman of Whiteside County Democrats, knew Evans well while Jacobs was chairman of the local party headquarters.

“Lane always came to my house for political ral-lies, and as we both got more involved in party

politics, we became very good friends,” Jacobs said.

Jacobs will never forget the 2004 elections, when Barack Obama was mak-ing a run for U.S. Senate.

“The year he ran for the Senate seat, Obama and Evans came to my house to talk about area cam-paigning,” Jacobs said.

Jacobs said he had last spoken with his friend about a year ago. He said they reminisced about the good old days of poli-tics, and some of the good times they had together. He said Evans’ legacy transcends party lines.

“He will probably be remembered most for the things he did to help veterans and the work-ing class,” Jacobs said. “He was just a very good person who took every-thing to heart. I can’t say

St. Louis Catholic School celebrates 50 yearsEvents planned to mark this special anniversary

By Zita [email protected]

PRINCETON — For 50 years St. Louis Catholic School has been prepar-ing students academical-ly and spiritually, said St. Louis Marketing/Enroll-ment Director Cathy Trowbridge.

“We’re preparing our children for eternity. It’s not just are they going to do OK when they get to Logan or are they going to do OK when they get to high school; we want them to get to heaven,” said St. Louis Principal Mary Paula Schmitt.

St. Louis School opened its doors in 1964 with Grades 1 through 4. Schmidt said the school was originally meant to be a C.C.D. (a religious edu-cation program), but the Sisters of Mary of the Pre-sentation, who had been asked to teach, insist-ed on a school instead.

These Sisters, along with Father Cullington, helped to formulate what is now a thriving part of the com-munity, Trowbridge said.

The current mission of St. Louis Catholic School is to prepare its students, spiritually and academi-cally, for a modern world in a nurturing Christ-cen-tered environment.

During a tour of the school, Trowbridge elab-orated on how the school has continued to grow throughout the years. The school now offers educa-tion for kindergartners through eighth-graders. Working together with the parish, St. Louis School incorporates the Cath-olic virtues and religion into every day education, Trowbridge said.

To celebrate 50 years of providing religious edu-cation, St. Louis is hosting a variety of events.

A trip to Disney is one of the many items up for bid at their auction set for

Nov. 15 in Harkrader Hall. The auction is open to the public and will provide a turkey dinner with all the trimmings.

The school will also host an open house with refreshments after the 10:30 a.m. Mass on Sun-day, Nov. 16.

In celebration of the

school’s success, the school has already hosted a Family Fun Night and planted 50 tulip bulbs on the 50th day of the school year. Trowbridge said 50 years is definitely a mark in the community as a school of choice.

The small class sizes, as well as the music and

arts available at St Louis, offer great benefits to the children, Trowbridge said. She also explained the school will be intro-ducing foreign language to the curriculum very soon. LatchKey, an after-school care program, and free after-school tutoring are just some of the other

great opportunities St. Louis School has to offer.

St. Louis Catholic School cherishes its active families and heavily-in-volved parents who work with the principal, pastor and parish members in the PTO and Council on Education.

“Which help keep our mission and our vision going forward,” said Trowbridge, referring to the work of these organi-zations.

Learning in a school which incorporates reli-gion helps students to know right from wrong. It helps them to realize religion is not something separate, but something that is incorporated into every day life, Trowbridge said.

In honor of St. Louis School’s 50th anniver-sary, the silent and live auction will be held in Harkrader Hall at 5 p.m. Nov. 15. For more infor-mation, check out the St. Louis School website, http://stlouisprinceton.org/50years.


Photo contributedSt. Louis Catholic School students form the number “50” to acknowledge the school’s 50-year anniversary. Several events have been planned to commemorate this mile-stone.

CorrectionThe Robert Edlefson trust sale for today, Saturday, will be at 10 a.m., not 6 p.m.,

as listed in the auction calendar. The sale will be in the Wise Guys banquet room, 2205 N. Main St., Princeton.

Nature’s Corner — a club for curious children

SPRING VALLEY/DEPUE — When it comes to nature, chil-dren are very inquisitive. Saturday, today, Hall Township’s Echo Bluff Park’s Activity Direc-tor Samantha Brown will explain “Why ani-mals hibernate?” during Echo’s monthly meet-ing of Nature’s Corner. Sleeping all winter and not playing in the snow doesn’t sound like much fun, but that is what some animals do! “Feel” animal pelts, learn how to recognize their tracks and then make a wear-able craft and have a healthy snack to prepare for hibernation.

Nature’s Corner is a free program designed for inquisitive children aged 3-12 (accompanied by an adult) and meets the second Saturday of each month. Children learn about the nature around us, plus take part in a seasonal activity and craft. Participants meet (rain or shine) from 10 a.m. to noon at Echo Bluff Park, a 60-acre park located one mile off of Route 29 between Spring Valley and DePue. It is the perfect backdrop for nature classes, and children will learn to appreciate the beauty of nature.

Topic for December will be “Why is ice so hard?”

Each month will focus on a particular wonder of nature. (In March, chil-dren will actually learn about maple syrup and do some tree tapping!)

Curious? Then bring

your children to Echo Bluff Saturday! (Partici-pants are asked to wear socks and tennis shoes.) For more information, call Echo Bluff at 815 447-2115.

Closing the Zearing crossing


MALDEN — Bruce Gib-son, Berlin Township Highway Commissioner, hosted a meeting Tuesday night to discuss questions and concerns about the proposed closure of the 2750 East Street railroad crossing. Berlin Supervi-sor Vern Bejster, Trustee John Gaylord, Trustee Mary Galletti, and numer-ous Berlin Township resi-dents attended the meet-

ing held at the Malden Fire Department.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) repre-sentative Dave Johnson said BNSF is offering $500,000 for the closure of the above railroad cross-ing and has consented to building a cul de sac for vehicles to turn around. He indicated the town-ship should provide the proposed cul de sac turn-ing radius dimensions.

Berlin Township res-idents expressed great concern about the details

of the proposed deal. They specified that there was a need for guaranteed access to Angling Road if 2750 East Street crossing is to be closed. Gibson indicated he will take all concerns into consider-ation when making his counter proposal to BNSF on Wednesday. If anyone has any further questions or concerns about the deal specifications, they should contact him before Wednesday.

enough good things about him.”

After Americans official-ly entered a war against terrorism in 2003, Evans was a trailblazing champi-on for returning veterans.

“In the early days of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Lane was one of the first members of Congress to take on issues like PTSD and TBI,” said Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America CEO Paul Rieck-hoff, referring to the acro-nym for traumatic brain injury. “He helped put our issues on the map.”

Bob Van De Velde, Whiteside County Board member, county Demo-cratic precinct commit-teeman, and World War II veteran, said area veterans appreciated the legislator’s efforts on their behalf.

“He was a good man, and he did a lot of nice things for veterans,” Van De Velde said. “This is a great loss because to me, he was a great American.”

Van De Velde, an Air Force vet who made many harrowing flights aboard B-29 bombers in the Far East, said Evans looked out for anyone who need-ed help, regardless of party affiliations.

“While he was a Demo-crat, he would try to help everybody,” he said. “We need more people like that these days.”

Evans joined the Marines at age 17 and had orders for Vietnam. But he served in Okinawa, Japan, as a security guard because his older brother was already deployed in the war.

As a congressman, he fought for the rights of veterans and became the senior Democrat on the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee. He pushed legislation to help those exposed to Agent Orange and to give former service members rights to judicial review in pursuing bene-fits claims.

He also campaigned for veterans grappling with post-traumatic stress dis-orders and other health problems, as well as those

having trouble finding employment.

Evans was first elected from his Western Illinois district in 1982, when he was a 31-year-old attor-ney, and went on to serve 12 terms. He worked for more than a decade after his Parkinson’s diagnosis, but announced in 2006 that he wouldn’t seek re-election because of his deteriorating health.

Evans was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1995, but he didn’t publicly announce the diagno-sis for three years, wor-ried the revelation would stigmatize him. He first realized something was wrong when he couldn’t wave his left hand during a parade. U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin remembers that event well.

“Lane told me years later that it was during a joint appearance at a Labor Day parade in Galesburg that he first felt the numbing in his hand, which led to his Parkinson’s diagnosis: a disease that trapped his body but never restrained his great spirit. Thank heavens for Lane Evans,” Durbin said in a public statement.

Still, he maintained a hectic congressional schedule. But toward the end of his time in office, he was briefly hospitalized and missed votes, com-mittee meetings and hear-ings.

In a statement announc-

ing his retirement, Evans acknowledged his “win-dow of opportunity is now closing.” He left office in January 2007.

President Barack Obama has credited Evans with aiding his own political rise, saying once that he wouldn’t have made it to the U.S. Senate without early support from his fel-low Illinoisan.

Obama has also called Evans “one of the most gracious, best humored and hardest working peo-ple that I’ve ever had the pleasure to know.”

Recently, Evans required round-the-clock care. Faced with mount-ing medical bills, friends and member of Congress raised $80,000 to help.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos, who rep-resents the district Evans served, recalled first get-ting to know him as a newspaper reporter.

“Lane will be sore-ly missed by all who he touched, but his legacy of service will never be for-gotten,” Bustos said.

Democratic Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon said she was deeply saddened by the death of Evans.

“During his long career representing Illinois, Lane worked closely with my father in Washington. His life represents the ideal of public service,” Simon said.

Sanitary sewer projects move forward

Princeton to open bids on farming logistics park


PRINCETON — Gen-sini Excavating has been given a notice to proceed with the sanitary sewer project in Princeton.

On Monday, Princeton City Manager Jeff Claw-son received the neces-sary permit from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), allowing for the sewer work on South Church Street to begin.

Gensini Excavating will be removing and replac-ing the sewer system on South Church Street — from Thompson Street to the end of Church Street.

Also, in another replace-ment project, Gensini Excavating will replace a four block section in the alley between Euclid and Chestnut from Washing-

ton Street to Clark Street.Five years ago, the

city of Princeton agreed to install a new sanitary sewer in the Bailey Sub-division area. This will be the third component of the city’s sanitary sewer project.

Clawson said he is expecting the IEPA per-mit for work around the Bailey Subdivision area any day.

For this part of the project, Gensini Exca-vating will build a new sanitary sewer from the corner of Main Street and Backbone Road to the entrance of Bailey Sub-division, and then along Oak Ridge Drive and to the end of Bailey Court.

In other business, the city of Princeton is work-ing toward buying and improving Sunshine Drive.

The private property

runs off of Park Avenue East. However, the street is in need of improve-ments before the city will commit to buying the road.

After further negotia-tions with the residents and owner of Sunshine Drive, the road will be become public as prop-erty of the city. This will allow for easier street maintenance and snow removal whenever neces-sary, Clawson said.

Clawson also reported the city will open the farm bids on Nov. 13.

On the north edge of town, in what is com-monly referred to as the logistics park, is land gen-erally farmed by the city. However, this property will be open for bid, so other farmers may have an opportunity to farm the land.

The city plans to award the contract at the next city council meeting, scheduled for Nov. 17.

Pondering politicsI know about bipartisan issues. You see, I grew up

in a bipartisan household. Grandpa was a Republican; Grandma was a Democrat.

Regardless of whether they were in the throes of poli-tics or in the throes of life in general, Grandpa was ultra conservative; Grandma was consistently liberal. To say the least, life was always very interesting between the two.

Not very often did the two ever discuss politics, but when they did, it was always in hushed tones — almost as if someone might overhear their conver-sation, which usually ended with Grandpa shaking his head from side to side and Grandma rolling her eyes.

And then there was Election Day. Know-ing they’d cancel each other’s vote out, they still wouldn’t have missed a chance to cast their votes. Grandma didn’t drive, so some-times, Grandpa would back out the car on Election Day as if he was going to leave without her and her Democrat vote. His eyes would just twinkle and you could even hear him chuckle softly as she scurried to the car, which was headed to the polling place.

“Don’t you dare leave without me, Fred,” she’d say as she jumped into the old, green Chevy, fully prepared to cancel out her husband’s vote.

While campaign ads weren’t nearly so disrespectful and irreverent back then, I can’t help but wonder how my grandparents would react today. I can’t imagine what they would think of some of the advertisements associ-ated with someone seeking a public office. While name calling and mud slinging are not new to politics, I’d love to have a conversation with them about today’s cam-paigns versus those of yesteryear.

This last election wasn’t a pretty one. I’m not talking about locally (for the most part), but on the state and national level, I was so tired of the mud-slinging, the lies, the insinuations, the disrespect. And that doesn’t even take into consideration the amount of dollars that were spent to belittle and berate each other; a phenomenal amount of money was spent — millions and millions and millions.

Quite frankly, all I really wanted to hear or read or see from any campaign advertisement this year was a can-didate to look me square in the eye and say, “It’s tough out here, but I’m going to do the best I can to help fix this mess. I’m going to spend your taxpayer money wisely. I won’t lie, cheat or steal. I want to take care of everyone, including our most vulnerable. I want to make sure seniors don’t have to choose between eating, keeping their home warm and buying their medicine. I want to make sure nobody — adults and children — goes to sleep hungry at night. I want to make sure everyone can have access to quality medical care. I want to make sure we think and act wisely when it comes to our environment. I want us to care about each other, instead of just look-ing out for the person in the mirror. I want to make you proud.”

For what else could we have asked?Grandpa was a proud Republican; Grandma was a

proud Democrat. But more than their party affiliations, they were proud Americans. We’ve got to start respect-ing each other, regardless of what side of the aisle we sit on. The bickering, the name calling, the disrespect has to stop, if we’re ever going to make any headway. It shouldn’t matter who controls the House and who con-trols the Senate. What should take pride is the fact we’ve elected a group of people who have the opportunity to do what’s best for our country, our state, so that we can be the best we can be.

We’ve got to get together, stop beating each other up, and come up with a plan we can all live with ... otherwise, this last election is just another attempt to fool the Ameri-can public into thinking everything is going to be OK.

Richard Widmark: A Princeton legacyColumn and artwork by bartlett lee kassabaum

Special to the BCR

I don’t think I’ll ever find out all the facts about this quiet man, Richard Widmark, but sometimes the pieces of the puzzle just kind of put themselves together with a little digging and some insight.

The five major studios in the Golden Era of Hollywood were Met-ro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox, RKO and Para-mount Pictures. They were known in the entertainment business as “The Big Five.” Their practices and management were known as the studio system, and they held most of the power in Hollywood until 1948, when a Supreme Court rul-ing against Paramount declared the studio system a monopoly, which was against the law. That decision effectively ended the Golden Era of Hollywood.

In 1948 it was only about a 20-min-ute drive, heading a little northeast, to get from 20th Century Fox Backlot at 10201 W. Pico Boulevard to RKO Radio Pictures Backlot at 780 N. Gower in Los Angeles (Hollywood), Calif., but if you had to drive from outside of Los Angeles, it could take two hours. For many of the actors though, there was the convenience of the studio’s “ranches” where most of the movies were shot. 20th Century Fox Ranch and RKO Encino Ranch were two.

“Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House” was released June 4, 1948, from RKO Radio Pictures. It starred Cary Grant, Myrna Loy and Mel-vin Douglas. It wasn’t uncommon for studios to film on each other’s ranches. The RKO movie was filmed at 20 Century Fox Ranch (Malibu Creek Park today).

The movie “The Boy with Green Hair” was released in December of 1948 by RKO Radio Pictures. It starred Pat Obrien, Robert Ryan, Barbara Hale and Dean Stockwell. It was filmed at the McKinley Home for Boys, Van Nuys, Calif., and RKO Encino Ranch. Richard Widmark made “Down to the Sea in Ships” with Lionel Barrymore and Dean Stockwell for 20th Century Fox. It was filmed at the West Pico Boule-vard studio and 20th Century Fox Ranch. It was released two months later in February of 1949. The two pictures, besides both featuring the young 12-year-old actor Dean Stockwell and being released just two months apart, had one more thing in common. Stars in both pic-tures were high school graduates from Illinois towns only 75 miles apart.

Barbara Hale was born in DeKalb on April 18, 1922. She moved to Rockford two years later with her parents, Luther and Wilma Hale. Barbara grew up in Rockford with her sister and two brothers, grad-uated from high school in Rock-ford, and then attended the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. She worked as a model to pay for her education, and in 1943, she moved to Holly-wood. She made “Higher and High-er” with Frank Sinatra that same year and was now under contract with RKO Radio Pictures.

In 1945 during the filming of “West of the Pecos,” in which she costarred with Robert Mitchum, she met actor

Bill Williams (Herman August Wil-helm Katt). Williams is best remem-bered as the star of the television series “The Adventures of Kit Car-son” (1951-55). They were married in 1946 until his death in 1992. They lived in Van Nuys, Calif., northwest of Los Angeles. Their son, William Katt starred, with Robert Culp in the hit television series “Greatest Amer-ican Hero” (1981-83). Van Nuys is about 22 miles straight north of Mandeville Canyon, where Richard Widmark lived. He would later move west to Hidden Valley. The Wid-marks and Williams families were good friends.

Richard Widmark, Barbara Hale, Robert Mitchum and many other studio system actors lived west of Los Angeles and made movies at the studio ranches. Richard Widmark had a 25-minute drive northwest to 20th Century Fox Ranch from his home, and Barbara Hale had a 13-minute drive west to RKO Enci-no Ranch from hers. The two stu-dio ranches were only 14 miles or 18 minutes apart. Both actors had just over an hour’s drive east to the Backlot Studios.

The Widmarks had family (Jean’s) in Evanston, and the Williams had family (Barbara’s) in Rockford, about 75 miles apart. The Widmarks came back to Illinois on many occa-sions as did the Williams. Richard Widmark grew up in and liked com-ing home to Princeton.

Lois (Christiansen) Simon was born in 1923 to John and Alice Chris-tiansen in Wyanet. She graduated from Wyanet High School in 1942. She married William (Bill) Chris-tiansen on July 19, 1944. They had two children, Susan and Bill. Lois liked to return home for the Bureau County Fair whenever possible, as they lived in Minneapolis, Minn. Lois was in Princeton for the fair in August of 1948. It was a Tuesday, the first day of the fair, that ran Aug. 24, 25, 26 and 27. Lois had dropped her son, 4, and her daughter, 6, off with her brother, Virden, and his wife, Eloise, to watch while she went shopping.

It was a bustling hectic time in Princeton that week of the fair. Rex Allen, the Arizona cowboy, who 10 years down the road would star in the television series “Frontier Doc-tor,” was the headliner and the horse that stood in for Crown Jewel in the “Green Grass of Wyoming” (1948), Katherine Ripper, an 8-year-old brown mare, would run at the fair on Thursday the 26th. Actor Smiley

Burnett, perennial western sidekick, had been in town just prior to the fair and was shown around town by Sam Traynor. Smiley was a constant in the Charles Starrett, “Durango Kid” Saturday matinees at the Apol-lo Theatre. “Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House” (1948) with Cary Grant, Myrna Loy and Melvin Doug-las was playing at the Apollo on Tuesday the first day of the fair.

Tuesday, Aug. 24 was the hottest day of the month, 97 degrees, but the fair attendance was a record 1,607 people through the gate. Lois Simon spent as much time as she could in the stores with air-conditioning while shopping downtown. She was in front of the Toggery Shop (now Brandy’s at 460 S. Main) and a grand couple caught her eye. She watched as they crossed the street from just north of her in the late afternoon and headed to the sunned Apollo Theatre, just across the street. The man was Richard Widmark and the woman was Barbara Hale. Lois was a fan of both and knew that Widmark was from Princeton. She couldn’t believe her eyes. She stepped closer to the building in it’s cooler length-ening shadow. Maybe it was the heat? No, that was Widmark and Hale; she was sure. What was Bar-bara Hale doing in Princeton with Richard Widmark she thought? They went into the Apollo Theater.

Richard Widmark and Barbara Hale were going to see his old friend, Sam Traynor and catch part of the movie from their studios. They had both been with family north of Princeton, and Richard Widmark was showing Barbara Hale where he grew up. They had been at Hen-ning and Son Bakery at 450 S. Main, former home of the Widmark family business, Henri’s Bakery. You don’t come thousands of miles to show a friend, and fellow actor where you grew up unless you had good memories. Barbara Hale came to see Richard Widmark’s Princeton roots, and Lois Simon was there to docu-ment that moment in her mind.

The Sunday following the fair, tor-nado like winds ravaged the amphi-theatre where two days prior more than 1,600 had sat. The function-ing structure used for “Mr. Bland-ings Builds His Dream House” still stands today in Malibu Creek Park. Barbara Hale still lives in California, and Lois Simon lives here in Princ-eton. They are about the same age, in their early 90s. Richard Widmark, who died in 2008, would have been 100 this Dec. 26.

Widmark will portray unpopular marshalPRINCETON — How can Wild

West townsfolk rid themselves of a tough gunfighter who overstays his welcome as their marshal?

In the latest Widmark Wednes-day movie, Princeton’s own Rich-ard Widmark portrays the marshal who, amid growing opposition, still wants to keep his job.

But as this unpopular incumbent soon discovers, bullets, not ballots,

become the preferred method of instigating change.

The film will be shown at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Princeton Public Library. Admission is free.

Co-starring with Widmark in the 1969 movie are legendary singer Lena Horne and Carroll O’Connor, who several years later would origi-nate the character Archie Bunker in the groundbreaking TV comedy “All

in the Family.”The late film critic Roger Ebert

called the movie “an extraordinary Western.”

Widmark, a 1932 graduate of Princeton High School, acted in more than 70 movies from 1947 until 1991. He would have turned 100 years old this year.

Widmark T-shirts will be avail-able for sale at the movie.

Teeing ‘em up — Who’s the best linksters around the area this fall? Check out the 2014 BCR Boys Golf Team at page 12.

BCR photo/Dan DwyerGolfer of the Year Joe Dudek of St. Bede saved his best season for last at the Academy, qualifying for state finals for the very first time. The Three Rivers All-Conference player was the only area boys golfer to qualify for state, carrying the low average of 39.5.

Saving his best for lastBy Kevin Hieronymus

[email protected]

St. Bede senior Joe Dudek saved his best for last, breaking through as a state qualifier for the first time.

He shot a 3-over 39 in his final round in the Bruin colors at state. For the season, he averaged an area-best 39.5, earning Three Rivers First Team All-Conference honors.

For those feats and more, Dudek is the 2014 BCR Male Golfer of the Year.

“I believe this is my best season so far. I’m just happy I was able to improve and help my team out any way I could,” Dudek said.

It all started for Dudek in the eighth grade when his family lived on the lane heading into Deer Park Country Club in Oglesby. He had a hole right outside his back yard and found it to be his escape from bore-dom with nowhere to go.

“I could just go out every night. I couldn’t drive yet or anything, so I

didn’t have anything else to do. I just played every night,” he said. “It’s definitely where I got started. And I started watching it a lot on TV and got a lot of help from the profession-al out there. Just being around it a lot really helped out.”

He landed a job over the sum-mer working at Deer Park, cleaning clubs, washing carts and “just do anything they need me to do.”

Best yet, the job comes with nice

perks for an aspiring golfer.“It’s really convenient when I can

just walk out on the course and just hit the range or work on whatever I need to,” he said. “It’s nice to be around it all summer. It really helps me prepare for the season, especial-ly when I get all the bonuses to play like that.”

Dudek’s senior season got side-tracked playing street hockey rink, when he got cut by a stick in May and developed a serious staph infec-tion that took him away from the golf course for three and a half weeks. When it cleared up, Dudek said it was a matter of just getting back “into the golf mode and mindset.”

Despite that setback, St. Bede coach Rich Cummings said Dudek put everything together this season and became a lot smarter on the golf course when it came to shot place-ment and strategy.

Fieldcrest knocks out PCBy Dan [email protected]

ORION — An amazing sea-son played by the Putnam County Lady Panthers came to its final phase as they lost in two sets 25-9, 25-14 to the Fieldcrest Lady Knights in Thursday’s Orion Class 2A Sectional championship.

“Fieldcrest had a good night, and we had an off night. It was unfortunate. We got off to a shaky start, and we never recovered from it, we struggled passing, and it just threw our

whole offense off,” PC coach Amy Kreiser said. “They have some good hitters and they had a good night, and unfortu-nately we just didn’t have what it took tonight.”

Fieldcrest got off to a four-point lead on several intense volleys before PC outside hit-ter/setter Megan Rehn found an open area in the Lady Knight defense to put PC on the board.

Rehn followed with two service points to cut the Lady Knight lead at 4-3.

PC couldn’t get anything

going offensively for most of the night as it struggled to make accurate sets and when they did manage a solid hit, Fieldcrest defenders were there to make a play.

“We struggled a lot with our passing in the back row tonight. Fieldcrest puts up tough serves. Volleyball is a game of momentum, and tonight we just couldn’t get it to swing our way,” Kreiser said.

The Lady Knights were

areas. It wasn’t always I’m going to hit the ball as hard as I can. The pin’s 220 yards away, I’m going to hit it 220 yards. That’s not always the best option,” Cummings said.

“He learned to hit tar-gets better and look past the shot he was hitting. It’s like, ‘When this one lands, what am I facing after that?’ “

Cummings said Dudek also became more confi-dent on the course.

“When he would take that daring shot, he would do it with more confi-dence. It wasn’t, ‘I think I can,’ it was, ‘I’m going to,’” Cummings said.

Dudek said the state experience was every-thing he dreamed it would be and more. He was able to overcome first-day jitters and come out firing to start the sec-ond.

“I’m just glad I was able to make it. It didn’t really matter where I finished. Obviously, I wanted to finish as low as I could.

Just being there was awe-some,” he said.

The quiet Dudek admittedly is not much of a vocal leader, but rather tries to lead by example for his teammates like sophomore Adam Len-kaitis, who he would give frequent rides to prac-tices and offer advice to when the situation arose.

“I just go out and try to shoot the best I can and hope my teammates see I’m working at it and try-ing to improve and follow up on it,” he said.

Cummings said Dudek voiced his concerns when neither the Bruins or himself qualified for state in 2013.

“He was angry and let them know that. That was unacceptable. He wanted everybody to get to that next level. He took that leadership role,” Cum-mings said.

It’s a role that has suit-ed himself and the Bruins well.

Dudek would like to continue his golf game at college, looking into Monmouth College or IVCC.

relentless at the net for the remainder of set one, with senior setter Court-ney Morits finding all of her hitters. The Lady Knights’ offense came alive to finish Game 1 with a 21-6 run.

Game 2 saw much of the same, with Field-crest taking a 6-1 lead that included back-to-back aces by senior hitter Tessa Holland.

A thunderous kill by senior hitter/setter Paige Griffith pulled PC with-in three at 11-8 but that would be as close as it got as Fieldcrest finished the game outscoring PC 14-6.

Holland led all scorers with 12 kills.

Griffith had four kills

and six assists for the Lady Panthers while Rehn added four service points and three assists.

“I have a wonderful group of young ladies, and I’m really going to miss the six seniors that I have. They really came out with a lot of fight, and I think they exceeded the expectations of many people in the communi-ty. I’m so proud of how far they have come from the very first day in the summer until now,” Krei-ser said.

PC finishes its season with a record of 22-13.

Fieldcrest (34-3) advances to the Putnam County Super-Sectional at 6 p.m. Saturday to face Dakota, the Pecatonica Sectional winner.

The Spirit of ‘76lives on at IVCC

By Kevin [email protected]

OGLESBY — One of the best foot-ball teams to play at Illinois Valley Community College will be induct-ed into the school’s Hall of Fame on Saturday night.

The 1976 Apaches (as they were called then) certainly put IVCC foot-ball on the map. That season was the beginning of the golden age of IVCC football, proving the Apaches could compete with any team in the state. It was also the first team to generate strong local fan interest.

The 1976 football team finished 6-3, the best record since IVCC resumed football in 1970, and set the stage for IVCC becoming a national football power in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s with five Midwest Bowl appearances.

Coach Vince McMahon’s squad was made up primarily of in-dis-trict players from strong high school programs at La Salle-Peru, St. Bede, Ottawa, Mendota and Hall. Co-cap-tain Dave Rucinski, a 1975 graduate of L-P, said the key to the team’s success was that everybody got

along so well.“The guys from St. Bede who

you wanted to beat the living heck out of, here they’re your buddies,” Rucinski said. “Everybody got along. To do this very day, everybody I felt was like a brother. Some of the best memories I’ve had in my life were during that time period.”

The 1976 Apaches excelled on defense, holding the school record for fewest points allowed (92). They made the switch from a 5-man front to a 4-man front that season, Rucinski noted.

“We scored just enough points to win games,” Rucinski said. “We should have done better than we did. I think Wright we lost by one point. We went for a two-point con-version and didn’t get it.”

Their big win of the season was a 6-3 win over ranked Rock Valley, scoring in the final 10 seconds of the game.

In his mind, Rucinski said the 14-12 win over Triton in the season opener was perhaps their biggest win, having come off a 2-7 season.

The Apaches were led by first team All-State picks Kevin Murphy,

a linebacker; fullback Lonnie Den-ton, who went on to start for 1978 Division II national champion East-ern Illinois, and defensive back Bill Pearson (eight interceptions).

Other standouts included punt-er Bill Manley; offensive linemen Kevin Wall, Joe Kolodziej, Otis Dun-gan and Art Zimmerman; tight end Bud Matthews; quarterback Tom Kimrey; wide receiver Pat Reeder; running backs Tim Dessing, Rob Baughman, Tom Samolinski and Mickey Venegas; center Kevin Savio; defensive backs Charlie Hyson, Gary Gahan and Steve Opsal; linebackers Scott Piecha and Bob Ochse; and defensive linemen Rucinski, John Fletcher, Paul Kasperski and Alvin Tingle.

Co-captains of the team were Murphy, Rucinski, Kasperski and Kolodziej.

The 1976 Apaches will be induct-ed into the IVCC Hall of Fame at 6 p.m. Saturday, in L-P’s Matthiessen Auditorium.

Football was last played at IVCC in 1996.

Record Illinois soybean harvest draws attention to transportation challenges

Even though inclement weather extended the 2014 harvest a few weeks, Illinois soybean farmers have produced one of the largest crops on record. Grain bins are full of beans ready to be turned into feed, food and fuel in mar-kets that span the globe.

Efficient movement of soybeans from farm to domestic and international markets adds value to farmer profit-ability, and it provides timely delivery of soy products to end users. In Illinois, access to multiple modes of transpor-tation has always provided a compet-itive advantage. We always have been fortunate to have roads, bridges and waterways that keep Illinois soybeans moving, but an aging infrastructure presents logistical challenges. The sys-tem is stretched tight.

Reliable transportation clearly is vital to continuation of our global export advantage. According to USDA, 54 percent of the state’s soybeans are destined for export, while half are pro-cessed domestically and then trans-ported as soybean meal and oil and other products by rail. Nationwide, about every other row of U.S. soybeans is exported.

The Illinois Soybean Association (ISA), using soybean checkoff invest-ments, has made transportation a pri-ority. A checkoff-funded study complet-ed by Informa Economics found every dollar invested in infrastructure repairs would provide an average return on investment of $10.24. Those repairs could bring much needed physical and financial support to our industry.

We currently are working with busi-ness, government and industry leaders to find solutions to more efficiently move soybeans from farm gate to cus-tomer. For example, ISA is developing a public-private partnership pilot program (P5) to provide the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with resources to bring locks and dams up to standard. We have drafted a strategy with key partners to create the P5 with an initial focus on the Illinois River. In addition to the Corps, Illinois Soybean Growers (ISG) has generated support from the state and legislators.

The needs for improved transporta-

tion are just as significant and urgent on an international scale. USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Transportation Division released a study in September, examining how improved Brazilian transportation infrastructure and the continuing decline of U.S. infrastructure negatively affects soybean exports and global mar-ket share.

Although the United States is still the dominant supplier in the world soy-bean market, our share of world trade has been declining. The study suggests our market share could drop 20 per-cent more without improvements in our infrastructure, from farm to port. A decline of even one percent in U.S. soy-bean market share is equivalent to $500 million in lost export sales, based on today’s world trade volume and prices.

The study concludes that U.S. infra-structural improvements must be made for us to keep a competitive edge to serve our customers. Maintaining our competitiveness can lead to greater U.S. soybean exports, higher income for Illinois farmers and stronger local economies.

ISA has become a recognized resource for solutions-oriented approaches to the transportation infra-structure challenges seen all over the state. With several years of research and evaluations, ISA has built a solid foundation of trust among transpor-tation planners and leaders that has translated into effective solutions for addressing issues that impact soybean farmers.

ISA has other transportation initia-tives underway to help strengthen local, state and national infrastructure. Learn more about them at our website, www.ilsoy.org/transportation.

America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders launches scholarship program

ST. LOUIS, Mo. — America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders is now launch-ing in 40 states, with more than $500,000 worth of scholarships available. Sponsored by the Mon-santo Fund, the program provides $1,500 college scholarships to students pursuing a degree relat-ed to agriculture. Start-ing Nov. 15, high school seniors and college stu-dents in Illinois and other eligible states can apply for this opportunity.

Farmers know the rewards of a career in agriculture, but many of today’s youth may not. Luckily, there is an abun-dance of evidence that agriculture is a smart career choice. Accord-ing to the USDA, nearly 55,000 jobs in agriculture are available every year. Many of the nation’s larg-est land-grant institutions, such as Penn State and Texas A&M University, report job placement rates above 90 percent for their

ag students.Grow Ag Leaders helps

engage future generations in agriculture by raising awareness of the broad range of career opportu-nities in the industry and by supporting their college education. The program was created in response to farmer requests to keep rural youth involved in agriculture. Farmers can participate in the pro-gram by encouraging students in their commu-nity to apply for a schol-arship and by endorsing their application. Because farmers play a crucial role in the industry, each appli-cant is required to obtain endorsements from at least three local farmers.

“We want to encourage ambitious and talented students to pursue careers in this growing field,” said Elizabeth Vancil, Youth and Community Outreach manager at Monsanto. “As students who grew up in rural areas learn more about what agriculture has

become, they are realiz-ing that it is a fascinating, hi-tech industry, with job growth, job security, and high wages. These young people are seeing that there are emerging oppor-tunities for a new gener-ation of innovative young farmers, engineers, imple-ment designers, marketing specialists and seed scien-tists.”

Grow Ag Leaders is part of the overall America’s Farmers campaign, which highlights the vital role played by farmers, through programs designed to sup-port rural communities. Farmers interested in pro-moting the program and endorsing students’ schol-arship applications can learn how at GrowAgLead-ers.com. The scholarships are administered by the National FFA Organiza-tion, but FFA membership is not required to apply. Students have until Feb. 1, 2015 to complete the application online at FFA.org/scholarships.
