A deficit budget at PHS

By Goldie Currie [email protected]

MANLIUS — The Bureau Valley School District’s tentative budget for Fis-cal Year 2015 is currently showing a $850,000 deficit.

Superintendent Steve Endress reviewed the numbers with board mem-bers at Tuesday evening’s meeting.

He reported revenues are expected to decrease by about $300,000 com-pared to last year’s bud-get, due mostly to declin-ing general state aid, which comes from slightly lower average daily attendance.

He also pointed out a final payment from the state was actually on time last fiscal year, which was unexpected and made the numbers from last fiscal year look better than they actually were.

On the expense side, Endress is expecting to see about a $300,000 increase in expenses compared to last year’s budget. The increase is due mostly because of teachers’ con-tracts and the added sala-ries of Endress and BV Assistant Superintendent Gavin Sronce.

On a positive note, Endress explained he is in the preliminary stages of trying to capture addi-tional state aid for the transportation fund. He said there could be a slight change next month when the board approves the

SPRING VALLEY — The rain and thunder may have put a damper on things Thursday eve-ning, but it certainly didn’t hold back the enthusiasm felt during the grand opening ceremony of John F. Kennedy’s new school addition.

More than 350 attendees packed into the addition’s new multi-purpose room, where they eagerly awaited to take their first tour through the new building.

Superintendent Jim Hermes talked briefly about the project construction and was followed by statements from State Rep. Frank Mautino and later on, Gov. Pat Quinn, who was delayed by the weather.

The $16 million school addition includes $12 million from Quinn’s

Illinois Jobs Now! program and $4 million from the school district. The 30 classroom, one-story middle school addition will accommodate 648 students in fifth through eighth grades.

Hermes said the addition will positively impact students and the community for many years to come.

“The district has an obligation to be prudent with our resources, while also attaining the high standard that is expected of Spring Valley Elemen-tary,” he said. “We are excited about the new addition, but we know our greatest accomplishment must be to continue educating students with the passion and dedication that we have always exhibited.”

Allied Design Inc. designed and Williams Brothers Construction built the state-of-the-art, energy effi-cient school building. Pre-cast walls, double-pane windows, LED light-ing, geo-thermal heating and cool-ing and skylights are just a few of the energy efficient and cost-saving measures taken by the district.

PRINCETON — Princ-eton High School is look-ing at a deficit budget for Fiscal Year 2015.

PHS Superintendent Kirk Haring presented the proposed FY ‘15 budget at Wednesday’s school board meeting, noting

the district is projecting total revenue in all funds of $7,306,520 and total expenses in all funds of $7,800,696, resulting in a deficit of $494,176.

Haring said this is a worst case scenario bud-get with a lot of things still to be ironed out at the state level as far as school funding. The education fund, the largest fund

for the school district, shows the largest deficit at $735,476.

“But once again, we will try to find as many ways as we possibly can to bring that deficit down,” the superintendent said. “We will continue to monitor all areas of the budget to assure we maintain finan-cial stability.”

On Tuesday, Haring said the district has an unaudited FY 2014 fund balance of $6,584,288.

Following the superin-

tendent’s budget review, the board voted to place the proposed FY ‘15 bud-get on file and set a public hearing on the budget for 5:45 p.m. Sept. 29, prior to the next monthly board meeting.

In other business at Wednesday’s meeting, Principal Andy Berlinski presented the ACT college readiness report for the 2013-14 year. PHS contin-ues to have very strong scores with the compos-ite score for 2013 at 21.1

and the composite score for 2014 at 21.3. The state average for 2013 was 20.6; the state average for 2014 was 20.7.

Beginning in 2013, the ACT began to include the scores of special edu-cation students in the report, Berlinski said. Prior to 2013, special edu-cation students were not included in the testing.

Illinois is one of 12 states in which all stu-dents take the ACT, Har-ing said.

Also, the school board approved the purchase of portable bleachers for the north end zone of the football field, at a low bid of $31,800 from Century Industries. The company is providing temporary bleachers in the end zone until the permanent ones can be built and installed, which will hopefully be in time for the second home football game, Haring said.

The event drew hundreds of community members, all eager to tour the new building. Superintendent Jim Hermes pointed out that on Aug. 28, 1966, exactly 48 years ago on the same day, the Spring Valley community held a grand opening for the new JFK School.

Illinois Valley Liv-ing magazine’s winners of the second annual Women of Distinction Award have been select-ed. Six women from the Illinois Valley will be honored at a luncheon where participants will enjoy a delicious after-noon meal while hearing the stories of these six women who have made a difference in the Illinois Valley.

Chosen by a panel of judges who were last year’s Women of Distinc-tion winners., the follow-ing women were selected from a large pool of nom-inations:

• Donna Barker of Wyanet.

• Michelle Brady of Peru.

• Pam Lange of Princ-eton.

• Mary Paula Lanham of Sheffield.

• Eleanor Walker of Princeton.

• Carole Yandel of Wyanet.

Nominations were solicited from the entire Illinois Valley, and those who chose to nominate an area woman were asked to think of some-one who has made a dif-ference in the Illinois Valley and gone the extra mile to benefit others.

“I was so impressed with the number of nom-inations we received, and even more impressed with the qualifications of all the women who were nominated,” said Illinois Valley Living/Bureau County Republican Edi-tor Terri Simon. “Wow!

We are very fortunate in this area to have so many deserving women who we can proudly call Women of Distinction.” Simon will emcee the event.

The six aforementioned Women of Distinction will be honored at a lun-cheon set for 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Oct. 16 at Deer Park Country Club in Oglesby. The event will begin with plenty of time for networking, a deli-cious lunch, an awards presentation and the opportunity to hear brief-ly from the six Women of Distinction winners.

Princeton resident and WGN talk show host, Kathy O’Malley of the “Kathy and Judy Show” is the keynote speaker. O’Malley, known for not just her popular radio show, but also for her volunteerism, her quick wit and her support of

women and their battles, sacrifices and successes, will entertain the crowd.

Presenting sponsor of the Women of Distinc-tion is Heartland Bank. Perry Memorial Hospital is the keynote sponsor. Major sponsors include St. Margaret’s Health, Illinois Valley Commu-nity College, Liberty Vil-lage, Flowers by Julia, Colonial Healthcare and Rehabilitation Centre and Illinois Valley Com-munity Hospital.

Tickets to the Women of Distinction Awards luncheon on Oct. 16 will be available Tuesday. Reserve your tickets by calling the BCR at 815-875-4461, ext. 6320, or stop by at the BCR office at 800 Ace Road, Princ-eton, for credit card/cash orders.

Tickets, which includes lunch, the program and plenty of giveaways, are $28 per person. No refunds will be issued, and there is limited seat-ing available. The public is welcome and encour-aged to attend this cel-ebration of women in the Illinois Valley.

“I know everyone is going to really enjoy this event — men and women alike,” Simon said. “This is about honoring all women in the Illinois Valley who have and con-tinue to make a differ-ence. We are very lucky to have so many deserv-ing women in this area. I hope to see you there, so you, too, can show your support of our Women of Distinction.”

A safe Labor Day weekend

Rotary names fundraiser after John Austin Heartland Bank releases first Medallion clue

By Donna Barker [email protected]

State and local officials are working together to promote safe traveling this Labor Day weekend.

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the Illinois State Police (ISP) have partnered to announce a zero toler-ance approach for drunk and drug-impaired driving as part of this weekend‘s “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign.

In one action, the ISP will increase patrol work this weekend in an effort to keep motor vehicle fatalities as low as possi-

ble through what can be a very dangerous holiday on Illinois roads, Acting Illi-nois Transportation Sec-retary Erica Borggren said Thursday.

“While we are encour-aged that seat belt usage is up and motor vehicle fatalities are down so far this year, we can never be complacent about safety,” Borggren said. “Any death on Illinois roadways is one too many, particularly when using seat belts and driving sober could have prevented it.”

Also, running through Tuesday, the ISP will be on high alert to enforce what the agency has deemed the four most common traffic

violations: Speeding, DUI, seat belts and distracted driving. Troopers will also be on heightened alert monitoring intelligence from the Statewide Terror-ism Intelligence Center for suspicious vehicles, spe-cial alerts and any criminal activity crossing state lines.

To help promote safe driving this weekend, IDOT has announced it will sus-pend all non-emergency roadwork for the holiday weekend through Monday. All lanes will be opened where possible, depending on the project.

Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson said he is not anticipating increas-ing the department’s ser-vices for Labor Day unless there is a need, which he would personally evaluate and determine. Right now,

there are adequate person-nel on duty to provide for the safety of the commu-nity, he said.

Fortunately, there has been a dramatic increase locally during recent years in the public’s awareness of the dangers of drink-ing and driving, Thomp-son said. Bureau County residents are increasing-ly aware that if they are attending a party or gath-ering and they choose to drink alcohol, they should have someone else do the driving.

PRINCETON — The Princeton Rotary Club has announced that dur-ing the past 14 years the club has given 53 s c h o l a r s h i p s of $1,000 each to graduating seniors from Princeton High School.

Rotarian Jim Smith said this scholar-ship program is all been possible because of the late John Austin, who died Oct. 7, 2009.

“John came up with the idea to have our club run a NFL pool of its own after he and I played in one his brother ran in Colombia, Mo. It was also John’s idea to use the proceeds for scholarships,” Smith said.

Looking back on the history of the scholarship fund, Smith said John and he began their own pool 15 years ago.

“I can’t remember the number of players that first year, but we felt con-fident they enjoyed it from the number of players that asked if we were going to run it on an annual basis,” Smith said. “John asked if I would keep track of all the players and their picks. It was easy for the first few years. I now have 10 other people who get picks and

then send them to me. Without them, we could not continue. Our pool has grown because of our club members and players recruiting friends and rel-atives. Now, 15 years later, we’re going strong.”

Smith said he thinks the reason Austin’s pool has been so success-ful is because it doesn’t cost much, is challenging and easy to play, the pro-

ceeds benefit graduating seniors, and the Internet makes it possible for peo-ple from many different states and even U.S. ter-ritories to play.

“It’s long overdue, but our club wants to give John the credit he deserves for this highly successful fundraiser,” Smith said. “We are renaming our los-ers pool The John Austin Memorial Scholarship

Pool. I know John would be very proud of the num-ber of scholarships his pool has provided and will continue to provide and with the number of play-ers participating.”

Anyone interested in participating in the pool can contact any Rotarian, Smith said. “But you better hurry, the NFL season is just around the corner.”

PRINCETON — Heart-land Bank’s Great Medal-lion Hunt begins today, Saturday.

This is the 27th year for the Great Medallion Hunt. As in the past, the lucky individual(s) find-ing Heartland Bank’s Great Medallion will win $1,000 in Princeton Chamber gift certificates. In addition to the medal-lion, several other sur-prises have been hidden throughout the city to reward hunters for their efforts.

The first clue is:

It’s that time of year for the adventure to begin,

Heartland’s Great Medallion Hunt will have a new spin.

Some clues will tell you where it is not,

Please stay away from trees, bushes and flower pots.

Twenty-seven years we’ve been hiding the disc,

You won’t need to dig, climb or put yourself at risk.

Hunters will need to decipher the clues to find the hidden Medal-lion. The Medallion is approximately 3-1/2 inches in diameter, 1/8-inch thick and has the Heartland Bank logo on it. It will be hidden on

public property within the city limits of Princ-eton and in a location that will not pose any danger to searchers. Nothing needs to be broken into, dug up or torn apart to find it. The Medallion is not hidden at City-County Park, the Bureau County Fair-grounds or at any of the local cemeteries. If you find the Medallion, call the phone number that will be attached to it. When the Medallion is found, announcements will be made on WZOE and posted to the web-site at www.wzoe.com as well as the Bureau Coun-ty Republican’s website, www.bcrnews.com, as soon as its discovery has been confirmed.

Heartland Bank’s Great Medallion Hunt Com-mittee will release clues to the Bureau County Republican and WZOE every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The goal of the Heartland Bank Great Medallion Hunt is to provide everyone the opportunity to get caught up in the spirit of the annual Homestead Festival and get it off to a great start. Heartland Bank’s Great Medallion Hunt is open to everyone except families associat-ed with Heartland Bank and Trust Co.

BCR photo/Donna BarkerPrinceton Rotary Club members Jim Smith (left) and Jeff Martin (right) accept donations for the John Austin Memorial Scholarship Pool from Austin’s son, Mark Austin (second right) and grandson Andy Austin (second left). John Austin had been a long-time mem-ber and past president of the Princeton Rotary Club before his death in October 2009. The scholarship pool was started 15 years ago by John Austin and Smith.

The new bleachers are designated for PHS students. The students had been asked if they would like their own sec-tion of bleachers, and if so, where they would like them. The majority of students wanted their own bleachers and said they would like them in the end zone, Haring said.

The board also voted to lease a new 71-passenger

budget from Midwest Bus at a cost of $10,950 a year.

Haring thanked the Booster Club for its recent contributions to the school, including a new bench by the concession stand, and also thanked the football parents and volunteers for the Tiger paw prints and lettering around three sides of the school. The district is very fortunate to have such a supportive community, Haring said.

Bloody Mary Bar

Benefit for Tina Myres is Sept. 6

By Ken SchroederShaw Media Services

MARK — Tina Myres’ life turned upside down in April. The rural Hen-nepin woman went in for surgery to remove what was believed to be a benign tumor. Unfortunately, what the doctors found was actually Stage 4 sarcoma.

A benefit is being held for Myres and her family on Sept. 6 at the Clover Club at 105 E. Hennepin St. in Mark. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children, 3 to 12, which includes food, drinks and children’s games and activities. The open house starts at 1 p.m., and food will be served from 3 to 9 p.m.

In addition to food, there will be raffles, a silent auction and enter-tainment from live bands and a disc jockey.

Stage 4 sarcoma is insidious. Soft tissue sarcoma is a disease in which cancer cells are found in soft tissue in the body including muscles, tendons, connective tissue, fat, blood vessels, nerves and joint tissue. According to the American Cancer Society, Stage 4 is the worst; the sarcoma has spread to other areas of the body. It is rarely curable.

“It started as a benign tumor,” Myres said. “Somehow, it trans-formed. Unfortunately, when we did the surgery on the leg, we were under the assumption it was still benign. The procedure that was done was prob-ably the worst thing to do at the time.”

The surgery resulted in the amputa-tion of Myres’ right foot and much of her shin. Myres’ sarcoma has metas-tasized, primarily to her lungs where sarcoma is the most responsive to treatment, although still not a guar-antee.

Myres is undergoing chemotherapy

to treat the cancer in her lungs, but the first two combinations of drugs have been unsuccessful. She has numerous treatments and surgeries with more in her future.

Myres is a registered nurse who works at both St. Margaret’s Hospital in Spring Valley and Perry Memorial Hospital in Princeton. With her train-ing, she knows exactly what’s happen-ing to her, and she says that’s not easy.

“When you read the report for the RN, and it says ‘undifferentiated hidrade,’ you know it’s not good,” Myres said.

Myres is married to Will Myres with two children — Alex, 8, and Lisa, 6.

Myres said the kids are still a little young to really understand.

“All they know is now Mommy’s got a long leg and a short leg,” Myres said.

The benefit is being organized by Myres’ co-workers at both hospitals, who have managed to gather a large array of items for the silent auction including autographed sports jerseys, vacation packages, fitness member-ships and more.

Tickets and T-shirts are available at 815-883-1013. Direct donations can be made to “Tina Myres Benefit Fund” at Heartland Bank in Princeton.

final budget, and he hopes the numbers will show an improvement with that possible extra aid.

Trying to figure how to bring revenues in line with expenses, Endress said there’s not much that can be done by August of the current fiscal year, but they will have staff decisions to make in the February/March time frame when negotiations begin with teachers’ contracts.

“That will have a very profound direct impact on the district’s financ-es moving forward,” he said. “We’ve already started the process of overturning every rock to see how we can right the ship.”

After reviewing the budget, BV Board President Rick Cer-novich expressed how impressed he’s been with Endress and Sronce in the short time they’ve been in the district.

“They’ve already saved the district tens of thousands of dollars in areas of just paying attention to detail,” he said. “The fact that they’ve found the low income population is actually around 40 per-cent rather than 30 per-cent will help with rev-enues, also. Within two or three years, I think you’ll have a balanced budget.”

Endress agreed say-ing that’s the goal, and it’s looking attainable at this point.

The board approved the tentative budget and scheduled a budget hearing for 7 p.m. Sept. 23.

In other news, the board:

• Accepted the res-ignation of Alyssa Zell as prekindergarten aid and parent coordinator at BV Wyanet and Cari Durham as special edu-cation aide at BV North.

• Approved the volun-tary transfer of Tonya Besler as special educa-tion aide at BV North from BVHS.

• Approved the employment of Deb Spratt as part-time spe-cial education aide at BV North, Samantha Taylor as freshman vol-leyball coach at BVHS and Kathy Matthews as part-time family con-sumer science teacher at BVHS.

• Approved Brenda Monier as volunteer volleyball coach at BV North.


During his speech, Mau-tino reminisced about growing up in Spring Val-ley and attending the for-mer Lincoln School, which held second to fourth grade at the time. He said the big day in students’ lives was when they had to make the transition over to the big school, JFK.

“The John F. Kenne-dy School will provide a brighter future and tre-mendous opportunities for the children of Spring Valley for generations to come,” he said. “I would like to thank Governor Quinn for providing fund-ing for this addition.”

Before taking a tour through the new addition, Gov. Quinn explained how the addition is well worth it for teachers and students.

“We must do right by our kids and students and make sure they have 21st Century education and 21st Century facilities like

this,” he said. “Everyone has talent, and we want to fulfill that talent. We don’t want any boy or girl who has the ability to do some-thing very important when it comes to education be denied the resources and chance to fulfill their dreams.”

Quinn pointed out that $12 million is a lot of money, but it’s an invest-ment. He said the school addition will pay dividends for generations to come.

“It’s so important we invest in the folks of Spring Valley and every other place in Illinois who have

dreams and understand the vision they have for the future,” he said. “We have to give them the tools to reach those visions.”

According to the press release issued by the gov-ernor’s office, Spring Val-ley was among numerous school districts statewide that have received a total of $1.5 billion in Illinois Jobs Now! funding to construct new buildings or expand existing ones in order to improve edu-cational opportunities in many communities. The school construction pro-gram is coordinated by the

Illinois Capital Develop-ment Board and the Illi-nois State Board of Educa-tion.

ObituaryFewer concealed carry applications issuedBy Ken Schroeder

Shaw Media Service

SPRINGFIELD — Applications for concealed carry permits are slowing down in the state of Illinois, while the system for the process is getting easier.

The Illinois State Police processed more than 42,000 applications in the first six weeks of the year. Since mid-February, according to the Illinois State Police, the rate has dropped off, only recently passing 85,000 applications since the beginning of the year.

With 102 counties in the state of Illinois, LaSalle County ranks seventh overall in concealed carry per-mits per person issued at just under 3 percent or 3,327 permits issued out of a population of 112,944. Neigh-boring Putnam County sits at 44th place with less than 1 percent of permits issued, a total of 54 residents out of 5,876 in total county population. Bureau County ranks 69th out of 102 Illinois counties in concealed carry permit percentages with 237 or 0.7 percent of residents out of 34,314.

Art Smith at Buffalo Range Shooting Park of Ottawa said things may be turning around.

“For the last couple of months, it’s been slower with fewer students in classes,” Smith said. “I just looked at the schedule for September, and the numbers are moving back up. I think summer was a factor with

everyone so busy with vacations and such.”To obtain a concealed carry permit, an individual is

required to attend 16 hours of concealed carry firearm training according to state law requirements. Mem-bers of the military and police personnel are allowed less time in the classroom due to prior firearm train-ing. A concealed carry license is good for five years and may be renewed. An applicant does not need to provide fingerprints with the application, but the Illinois State Police who review the applications can take up to an additional 30 days to process the appli-cation without fingerprints. A person also must have an FOID card.

Illinois residents who cannot receive a concealed carry law include convicted felons, convicted domes-tic abusers and those who have been convicted of a misdemeanor involving use of violence or force and have had two or more violations related to driving under the influence or those who have been in treat-ment for substance abuse within five years of filing for the concealed carry permit.

The state of Illinois was the last state in the nation to pass the concealed carry legislation.

6A Perspective


Out-standing in our field

Richard Widmark: A Princeton legend

I tend to be a creature of habit. In other words, I seldom stray too far from my basic routine, especially when it comes to the mundane tasks in my world. It’s easier that way, and this no-brain-er attitude helps me avoid those little surprises that often turn my world upsidedown.

Here’s an example: Every day, I drive to work using the same route I’ve used for the past 17 years. My favorite part of my ride is when I turn onto a back-road that eventually leads me through the countryside and ultimately takes me to the BCR. On the way home, I just reverse the process.

On these backroads, I seldom see other cars, and quite frankly, it’s a nice calm and quiet ride before I get to the chaos of the newsroom and all the elements of publishing a newspaper.

Some days I crank the CD player to a decibel level that was traditional during my youthful days, tuning out anything and everything except the music and lyrics and allowing me to focus on nothing (except the road). I sing along like nobody’s business, and by the time I get to work, I’m sure there’s a chance I could win “American Idol” or “The Voice.”

On other days, I have no sound at all coming from the car. I ride in silence, thinking about life in general — what I need to do, what I have to do, what I don’t want to do and what I’d like to do. Perhaps it’s my farming heritage, which causes me to study the corn and soybean fields that envelope my vehicle and me on these quiet. Every year, it’s fun for me to check out the crops (much like my grandfather used to do), and mentally attempt to compare them to last year’s bounty. By my standards (what do I know!), this year’s fields look fantastic.

But there’s one particular field that always grabs my attention. It’s a beautiful bean field boasting plants that I know are waist-high and absolutely bursting with bushels and bushels of soon-to-be-picked soybeans. The field is clean — no stray weeds or any obvious problems. Except ... there’s a single stray corn stalk that decided to grow on the edge of the bean field.

OK, I know that’s not unusual. Looking across bean fields in any county in the country, one can easily spot those stray corn stalks amid the beans, which I assume are leftover from last year’s corn crop or a friendly varmint or bird who deposited the corn seed in the bean field. It’s not a big deal, but I have to tell you, my eyes search daily for that single corn stalk — standing tall and proud and beautiful alongside the beans. I don’t mind telling you, a smile always comes to my face as I pass by it — for no other reason than what it represents to me.

You see, sometimes I feel like that lone corn stalk standing in a field, where I really don’t belong. I know that sounds a little nutty (or corny), but I have to believe we all feel that way sometimes. You know what I mean — different, out of step with those around us, unusual — like that tall, lanky corn stalk amidst those beautiful, bushy beans.

Sometimes, I wonder if that single, lone corn stalk longs for the comfort of the cornfield just down the road, but usually, I end up thinking the beans around him are probably jealous of his height and beauty and majestic stature.

We are all different from one another, and even when you feel like the differences separate you from the crowd, maybe we should be proud of those things that make us unique, special, instead of worrying so much about trying to fit in.

I know ... this is all a bit corny, but really ... shouldn’t we be just proud of our ability to be out-standing in our own field, wherever that may be?

Classmates: Becoming Richard Widmark

Column and artwork by bartlett lee kassabaum

Special to the BCR

Richard Widmark was just into the last quarter of his 44-year movie career in 1978. He was not in as demand as he had been but still found and was offered roles that interested him. He made “Coma” with Michael Douglas and Gen-evieve Bujold, and “The Swarm” with Michael Cain and an all-star cast in 1978. He was co-starred with David Carradine in “Mr. Horn” and co-starred with Donald Sutherland, Vanessa Redgrave and Christopher Lee in “Bear Island” in 1979. He starred in “All God’s Children” in 1980. This was not the glamour part of his career, but steady profes-sional that he was, he never failed to give a great performance.

Those three years, 1978, 1979 and 1980 were important years for me. The last year I worked for someone other than myself; the year I won my first State of Illinois Duck Stamp Competition; and the year I first made a little money thanks to the stamp and notoriety it brought with it. In that period of time, I also became well acquainted with the Brown family and Tribune Printing Co. I started doing a few projects at Tribune, usually with Bill Brown. I met Bill’s father, Stan, his Uncle Harlow, and cousins, Doug and Mike. Stan and Harlow were great guys, very knowledge-able in their craft, and both with skills in the finer arts. They made me feel like family and were great supporters when I started enter-ing and winning State Duck Stamp contests with my art. There was shared excitement and support at the morning coffee klatch they held every morning, when I won my first competition.

Many of the “heavyweights of the day,” (Pete Eckdahl, Hugh Skinner, Bob Zearing, Harold Parr, General O.C. Hudson), had coffee there. I was the young guy they included. I got to know my way around their darkroom and learned to process film. Stan and Harlow were both pros and they helped me a lot.

There was one time, around 1979 or 1980, waiting for a negative to process in the dark room, that Stan Brown first mentioned to me that he was in Richard Widmark’s class in high school. I think we were talking about the movies; it just came up, and I’m sure I was totally impressed. He told me he remem-bered him as kind of shy and intro-verted. They weren’t great friends, just classmates. Stan said he was somewhat disappointed that Wid-mark never made it back for any of the class reunions but could easily understand why.

Stan Brown read his former classmate well; he was right on the money in his remembering Richard Widmark.

“The real reason Dick doesn’t see more people socially is not fear of making enemies ... Dick’s shy, and I’m anti-social,” said fellow actor Robert Mitchum. “Dick’s the shyest man I’ve ever known,”

Ollie Carey (former silent screen queen and wife of famed actor Harry Carey Sr.) declared. “Shy?” wife Jean Widmark once said with a smile, “I had to work like a dog to get a date with him. When my father met him,” Jean recalled, “he thought Dick was a nothing. Dick was shy. He couldn’t think of anything to say. All he could do was clear his throat. My father was a Rotarian kind of banker,” Jean explained. “He made a lot of

speeches. He just didn’t understand a man who didn’t speak out. He had no hope for Dick. He thought he was some bumpkin. The facts proved him wrong.”

In a 1949 interview, he was asked, “Your studio touts you as a very quiet, reserved and shy guy. Are you what they say?”

“I guess I’ve always been a little shy,” Widmark responded.

Stan Brown shared many inter-ests with Richard Widmark. They were both in Science Club and French Club in high school besides attending classes together. They both liked sports. Widmark played football, and in later life, he would take up golf and tennis. Brown played golf, tennis and was on the track team in high school. Richard played the piano and drums, and Stan played the organ. They both loved music, but I don’t know if they ever played together. Stan bought an organ in the 1950s from fellow classmate, Tom Best. Best was one of Widmark’s clos-est friends in high school and later life. Stan and Richard both enjoyed cigars, loved dogs, and later in life, they both traveled to foreign shores. Stan Brown loved Tarpon and Marlin fishing. He traveled to Costa Rica, Ecuador, Baja, Mexico and the Florida Keys to enjoy this sport. Stan and his brother, Har-low Jr., were avid duck hunters. Brown and Widmark both married at about the same time in life and would each have just the one child. Stan Brown married Olive Walton in 1941 and were parents to Bill Brown. Richard Widmark married Ora Jean Hazelwood in 1942 and were parents to Anne Heath Wid-mark.

Stan Brown headed off to college at the University of Wisconsin after high school, while Richard Wid-mark was attending Lake Forest College. Stan’s college life came to a halt after just three years. He had to return home and help run the family business. His father, Harlow Brown Sr., had become postmaster of Princeton in 1933, and found he could not run the Bureau County Tribune and do justice to his new job also. Harlow Sr. had bought the business from E.K. (Kent) Mercer in 1918.

The first issue of the Bureau County Tribune was published in August of 1872. Harlow Sr.’s two sons, Stan and Harlow Jr., were old enough and trained enough to take over the job of running the newspaper. The brothers took over the newspaper in 1935 and ran it until March 16, 1951. They saw that their forte was more in the line of printing than in the newspaper line, so they became the Tribune Printing Co. They used the offset printing method and specialized in four-color brochures, pamphlets, booklets, letterheads and matching envelopes, forms, typesetting and design. The brothers were mas-ters of their craft and both had a certain flair for related work in the arts.

Stan was an ace photographer, while Harlow Jr. could make any found old wooden object into a refined work of art. Stan and Har-low Jr. slowly passed the business over to their sons, Bill and Doug. Stan Brown retired in 1979, but kept his hand in the business in an advisory capacity for many years. The Tribune Printing Co. ceased business in 2012.

Stan Brown passed away July 18, 1990. His brother Harlow Jr. died Jan. 7, 2001, and his son (Harlow Douglas) Doug Brown on Feb. 7, 2014. Stan’s son, Bill Brown, still lives in Princeton.

Richard Widmark had this to say looking back at his career. “The only real security comes from a belief in oneself — and that goes for every man, whatever he does to make a dollar.”

Stan Brown and his brother had that belief in themselves. I knew them both, and it was so very evi-dent. I’ll get to more Richard Wid-mark classmates next time.

2014 end of August crop evaluationAs we near September,

our 2014 corn and soybean crop appear to be taking a leisurely trip to maturity.

This is in part due to the below normal temperatures in July and the majority of August, coupled with a delayed planting for most northern Illinois farmers.

Utilizing the Illinois State Water Survey Water and Atmospheric Resources monitoring program and inputting May 1 as a plant-ing date with DeKalb as a weather collection site (coincidentally, that data is collected on site at the Northern Illinois Agronomy Research Center) we have reached 2,066 base 50 grow-ing degree units (GDUs) in Northern Illinois as of Aug. 27. We are only 66 GDUs behind the 11-year average.

The cooler weather has not necessarily been a bad thing for our corn crop. The weather pattern extends the time required for the plant to reach maturity and can provide additional days dedicated to grain fill.

I would be interested in hearing from some of our area farmers, but most of the Northern Illinois corn-fields I have been in over the last week are in early to mid-dough stage (R4), with a few fields starting to reach dent stage (R5).

Kernel moisture is approximately 70 (R4) and 60 percent (R5) in these respective stages. Research from Purdue University suggests corn in the dough stage requires approxi-mately 36 days to reach physiological maturity. This number can be decreased or increased by above or below average tem-peratures. Allowing several more days for additional drying from the physiologi-cal maturity moisture of 30 percent, it seems likely that

very few corn acres will be harvested in Northern Illi-nois prior to Oct. 1.

Many of the cornfields I have visited have areas that are goose necked to some degree, a result of substan-tial wind events that have crossed the state. It will be well worth a farmer’s time to check the standability of different hybrids and schedule harvest accord-ingly, starting with those most likely to lodge.

Because the total num-ber of kernels have been set on the corn ear at this stage, those visiting fields can make preliminary yield estimates.

• In the field, measure off a length of row equal to 1/1000th acre. For 30-inch rows, this equals 17.4 -feet. Row length equal to 1/1000th of an acre = 43560/(row spac-ing/12)/1000.

• Count and record the number of ears on the plants in the 1/1000th acre of row that you deem har-vestable.

• Collect at least three (or more) predetermined ears. For example, grab the fifth,10th and 15th ear. The more ears you choose the greater the reliability you will likely have on your estimated yield.

• Record the number of complete kernel rows per ear and average number of kernels per row. Multi-plying the row number by average kernels per row then multiply each ear’s row number by its num-ber of kernels per row to calculate the total number of kernels for each ear. Calculate the average number of kernels per ear by summing the values for all the sampled ears and dividing by the number of ears.

• Estimate the yield for each site by multiply-ing the ear number by the average number of kernels per ear, and this is where it can get a little subjective; some suggest dividing that result by 90 (approximately 90,000

kernels in a bushel of corn). Under excellent growing conditions with very good kernel fill this may underestimate final yield, and you may want to divide the number of kernels by 75-85.

Turning to soybean crops, most are at R6, the full seed stage. Our soy-bean crop undoubtedly benefited from August rains.

A number of pest issues are showing up in North-ern Illinois soybean fields, but because of the stage of maturity of the crop few situations justify further treatments or applica-tions.

After a summer of few pest insects in the soy-bean field, we are now finding soybean aphids, still in low numbers but certainly increasing. Also western and northern corn rootworm beetles, stink bugs, grasshop-pers and a few Japanese beetles all feeding on the leaves.

White mold disease can be found on several varieties at the research center and has been reported in several fields in Northern Illinois. My counterpart in Monmouth, Angie Peltier, is reporting significant Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) symptoms are showing up in Western Illinois soybean fields, even on supposedly resistant varieties. Symptoms include leaf interveinal chlorosis or necrosis (yellowing or browning) followed by the dropping of leaflets leaving the petiole intact. Scout-ing soybean fields now will benefit you when selecting varieties with specific disease resistance and tolerance packages in future years.

The Northern Illinois Agronomy Research Center and the University of Illinois Extension encourage farm-ers to visit their fields one more time, and to have a safe harvest.

Clippers sink the Bruins

By BCR SpoRtS [email protected]

PERU —The St. Bede Bruins held a 13-8 half-time lead over visiting Amboy/LaMoille in Fri-day’s season opener at the Academy, despite a heavily tilted tally of plays from scrimmage favoring the Clippers (34-18).

Those numbers caught up to the Bruins in the second half. The Clippers had the only score of the second half, a 68-yard by Drake Barlow to squeak out a 14-13 win.

Braidy Shipp hauled in a 19-yard pass from Jack Brady, coming back for the ball, before dancing into the end zone with 2:42 left in the second quarter. Justin Shaw ran in the conversion to put the Bruins on top 14-8.

That lead held until the 7:14 mark of the third quarter, before Barlow raced for paydirt for the

game-winner.The Bruins struck first

in the game on an 18-yard pass from Brady to Bailee Hopps. A missed conver-sion would loom largely later in the game.

Amboy tackled Shaw in the end zone on the hand-off to put up two points with a safety.

PRINCETON — There’s just something about Princeton and Morrison football games. They just can’t beat the weather on Friday nights.

For the sec-ond season in a row, the Tigers and Mustangs saw their game set back by the weather. After having the soph-omore game halted at half-time and numer-ous delays for lightning, Fri-day’s varsity

game was rescheduled for Saturday. Kickoff will be at 5 p.m. at Bryant Field.

Game officials tried to get the game in. Mother Nature was not cooperat-ing, again.

The sophomore game was called at half-time with the PHS Kittens winning 6-0.

The start of the varsity game was delayed and seem-ingly each time the mandatory 30-minute waiting time was wind-ing down, another flash of lightning

SPRING VALLEY — Hall coach Randy Tieman knew he’d have to rely heavily on his defense to con-tain Bureau Valley’s shifty quarter-back Parker Neuhalfen if he wanted to avenge last year’s 42-21 defeat at the hands of the Storm.

The Red Devils’ defense stepped up in a big way holding the BV offense to just 13 points en route to a 23-20 victory Friday night at Richard Nesti Stadium in Spring Valley.

“I said we’re going to hang our hat on our defense and I’ll tell you what those guys came to play,” Tie-man said. “They played their assign-ments. We got beat on a halfback pass and on a broken down run play that we had tied up in the backfield, so our kids game to play and we shut down a good offense. They’re a very good offense.”

Each team had trouble getting their foot under them in the first quarter as they traded punts and struggled to get going offensively.

“We didn’t start off real well. We didn’t move the ball on the run, a lot of that’s my fault and we just need to do a better job of play call-ing. It was a good physical football game, they’re a tough team, they’re

very physical they’re running back (Hammonds) he’s a horse and he did a good job. We have those kind of players too and a lot of it’s just my fault,” Bureau Valley coach Spencer Davis said.”Obviously being a first year coach I wasn’t as organized as we needed to be and I just didn’t make the necessary adjustments throughout the game.”

The first points of the contest came after an unnecessary late hit by the Storm defense set up Hall inside the red zone. Hall would eventually settle for a 13-yard field goal by Matt Krolak to take a 3-0 lead with 8:39 to play in the half.

Another 15-yard penalty would again set the Hall offense up in the red zone as senior back Tyler Taber caught a corner and raced 14-yards down the left sideline and suffered a blow to the head.

Val Reuter

Volleyball: Bureau Valley def. Annawan 25-23, 25-23

Storm rally to trip BravettesBy Dan [email protected]

MANLIUS — Coming into the season, Abbi Bosnich knew her Bureau Valley vol-leyball team would rely heav-ily on the play and mental toughness of its talented senior crop of athletes. Her team’s chances of success this season would be put on their shoulders.

Those seniors stepped onto the court for their first match of the season and showed they had the talent and the perseverance to make two late comebacks, defeat-ing visiting Annawan 25-23, 25-23.

Bureau Valley started out on top

of both games but struggled midway through each set as the Annawan Bravettes surged back and took late

leads of 19-14 and 19-15.After trailing by five late in

the first set Bosnich called a timeout to calm her squad down which gave the offense the charge they needed for the final stretch of the set.

The Storm went on an 11-4 run to hold off the Bravettes 25-23.

Highlighting the run were aces by senior middle hit-ter Lindsey Hoffert to take a

23-22 lead and senior outside hitter Val Reuter’s game-winner that rico-cheted off a Bravette defender for the 25-23 victory.

“Val is an all-around strong play-er. We moved her to the front row (from libero) because she wasn’t OK just playing in the back row, and she definitely proved that tonight,” Bosnich said. “She came in for some big kills and was our kill leader and she is just a strong player all around. I know when she goes to the line she has a tough serve and we’re very lucky for that.”

The second set went much the same as the first as BV scored five straight points on the service of senior setter Sydney Lebahn to start the match.

BV allowed the Bravettes to take control of the second set 19-15 but a noticeable buzz was building in

the gym with each play and each Storm point.

The energy the Storm started playing with on the court seemingly energized the crowd and in-turn the home crowd reciprocated the energy to the players from the stands.

Once again after a late surge Reuter stood on the end line with a 24-23 lead and the ball in her hand, this time she would need help from her teammates to finish out the set.

The home crowd wouldn’t be disappointed as Lebahn settled under a Bravettes’ return shot and appeared to be setting a teammate up for kill. Instead, she spot-

ted an open area in the back left court of the Bravettes’ defense and sent a tip shot for the set and match victory

“We’ve kind of moved some things around and have let Sydney Lebahn hit as well and she’s done a great job with that,” Bosnich said. “She’s a very, very strong leader that we’ve had for four years as a starter, and she just gets the job done. The last play of the game she just knew that slot was open in the back corner and just pushed the ball there and got the kill.”

Reuter led the team with four kills and six of the team’s 18 digs. Lebahn added four digs and a team-high four aces along with three kills. Carlie Bickett and Heaven Bennett also chipped in three kills each.

Kayla DeMay, Taylor Miller

and Taylor Shaw each had three kills with Shaw adding 10 points and seven aces for the Caitlyn (Corwin) DeMay coached Bravettes.

Bosnich said her team atti-tude and work ethic is some-thing the girls just have and bring to the court on a daily basis.

Although she is happy with the out come of the match, Bosnich, like any coach, sees room for improvement and is already mentally preparing for their next opponents.

“I had a lot of strong net play tonight but we need to work a little more on block-ing. I thought we did a nice job but I know that we are better than that so we’ll real-ly work on blocking that this week so we’ll be ready for next week,” Bosnich said.

• BV also won the F/S match 29-27, 25-22.

Herman named as IVCC head coachOGLESBY — Assistant

coach Chris Herman was appointed Illinois Valley Commu-nity College head men’s basketball coach, IVCC Presi-dent Jerry Corcoran announced.

“I have no doubt Chris will do a fabu-lous job as our head coach,” said Corco-ran. “He is humble, kind and student-centered. His Project Success students and staff love him and so will his teams.”

Herman was an assistant for IVCC’s Tommy Canale

for six seasons (2007-08 to 2012-13). He also spent

three years as an assis-tant at Pratt (Kan.) Community College after working for his father as an assistant at Illinois Central College (ICC) from 1995 to 1999 and John A. Logan Col-lege in Carterville from 1991-94.

Canale announced his resignation as

coach and athletic director July 23 after seven seasons.

“I am very excited about this opportunity and I think our young men will play hard for me,” said Herman.

“I want to learn and grow as a coach each day and I want the same thing for my play-ers. It looks like we have the making of a quality team.” Herman said IVCC will play an attacking style defense and offense. “I don’t like to walk the ball up the floor,” he said.

The Washington, Ill. native played at ICC, Sam Houston State in 1985 and Georgia College and State Universi-ty. Stationed in Germany in 1989 as a lance missile crew member, Herman played for the U.S. Army European basketball champion Wies-baden Eagles.

BCR photo/Dan DwyerHall’s Chris Hammonds turns up field again Bureau Valley Friday at Nesti Stadium in Spring Valley. He rushed for two touchdowns and 181 yards to lead the Red Devils to a 23-13 win.

Less than two minutes later senior running back Chris Hammonds would hit pay dirt on an inside hand off from the two yard line extending the red devil lead to 10-0.

After keeping Neuhalfen in check for the entire fist half the always opportune player took advantage of a broken play with 24.8 seconds in the half as he spotted a hole on the ride side and dashed down sideline outracing the Hall defense for 74 yards and cutting into the Red Devils lead making the score 10-6 going before the break. BV’s two point conversion would fail.

An interception by junior Jake Merkel at with 10:36 to play in the third set up the second Hall touch down of the night as senior Andrew Kerr muscled his way in from yard out at the 8:12 mark to make the score 17-6.

Hammonds showed signs of cramping early in the game but didn’t come out until he scampered for a 27 yard gain and imme-diately grabbed for his calves.

“You just gotta have heart, you know? I didn’t expect to cramp up there was like seven guys cramp-ing up it was crazy. I just thank my lord and savior he gave me the strength, gave us the strength to come away with this W,” Hammonds said.

Hammonds would again break free for another touch down and he dashed through the heart of the BV defense and raced 45 yards for his second TD of the game.

“I see us playing hard-er and harder everyday,” Hammonds said. “There’s not one guy on this team that wasn’t helping anoth-er person out and that’s what we need team chem-istry we need to build this is a brotherhood this isn’t one guy running doing what’s he does this is a brother hood we need to play together and that’s what we do.”

BV continued to battle in the late stages of the game as senior Josh Mead completed an 84-yard flea flicker to receiver Tommy Johnston down the right site line with 2:32 seconds to play to end the scoring at 23-13.

Although Hammonds had the tenacity to fight

through his leg cramps, something numbers other Red Devils were also deal-ing with, he credits his teammates, particular his offensive line for giv-ing him the opportuni-ties he had Friday night and expects for his team to improve as the season goes on.

“Tonight, I did not come here thinking that our line was going to do what they did. Every time I was going somewhere I saw a hole and I did not expect that tonight,” Hammonds said. “Our boys stepped up in a way that’s unbelievable and I thank them because with out them that would not have happened. I know a lot of people say that but that’s the truth, I couldn’t have done it with out them, so, I thank the team.”

Hammonds led all backs with 181 yards on 13 car-ries and two scores while Kerr added 58 yards on 13 carries and also had a touchdown.

Nelson lead the Red Devils defense with seven total tackles and Jared Puente added four tackles and two sacks.

• BV won the sophomore contest 34-0.
