Midland deactivates customer debit cards

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Customers of Midland States Bank in Princeton will be issued new debit cards after their original debit cards were deactivated this week.

The following statement was issued Tuesday morning

by Midland States Bank: “During the past week, Midland States Bank identified possible debit card fraud from a large retail establishment in Northern Illinois.

The bank took swift action to identify Midland States Bank debit cards used at this retail establishment that could have had their card number compromised and chose to deactivate these cards, including some debit cards of customers in Princeton.”

On Tuesday, Sharon Schaubert, senior vice president of banking services for Midland States Bank, said it appears a large retail establishment has had some type of breach of information potentially affecting the debit cards of Midland States Bank and other financial institutions used at this establishment.

“In order to protect our Midland customers, the bank deactivated selected debit cards on Monday which may have had their card numbers compromised,” Schaubert said.

“We are reaching out to these customers to let them know a new card has been ordered for them.”

Affected customers will have their new debit cards within a few days, Schaubert said.

“We don’t want customers to be concerned about the safety of their accounts,” Schaubert said. “We did this to give them confidence that we are watching out for them and protecting them of any potential fraud.”

$65,316 headed to local citizens Federal disaster aid coming to 17 Bureau County households

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Seventeen Bureau County households have been approved so far to receive federal disaster assistance for damage costs incurred from the April 17-18 heavy rains and floods.

Gov. Pat Quinn made the announcement on Monday, saying the $65,316 in

federal aid designated for the 17 Bureau County residents is part of more than $73 million going statewide to help more than 26,000 Illinois residents affected by the April flooding.

The federal assistance will include grants to help with disaster-related expenses such as temporary home rental, home repairs and replacement of damaged personal items, Quinn said. Also, nearly $2

million in low-interest loans to people and businesses has been approved to help with recovery.

“These grants and loans are helping people put their lives back together after the devastating April floods,” Quinn said.

“This federal aid is critical to the recovery process, and I appreciate the Obama administration’s efforts to speed needed relief to people affected by the flooding.”

A couple cows look on at Larry Magnuson’s farm located south of Tiskilwa. Earlier this week, Magnuson took time to weigh in on the growing reasons behind the rising costs of beef. Two years of drought and the dwindling numbers of farmers interested in raising cattle are Magnuson’s top reasons behind the low number of cattle coming through slaughter houses.

Where’s the beef ... and what does it cost?

Area farmer weighs in a reason behind the rise in beef prices

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

Trends in the cattleman business have taken a toll on the beef market.

With things like drought, dwindling cattle ranches and the increase in export, the prices of beef have escalated.

Earlier this week, area farmer Larry Magnuson, who owns a cattle farm with

about 34 cattle head, weighed in on a few of the factors behind the rising beef prices.

To him, the first and foremost factor is the lingering drought.

“Two and a half years of drought has really been a cause,” said Magnuson.

Drought has dried up food sources including grass in pastures and hay crops.

“They’ve (farmers) got nothing to feed them, so they are taking them to market,

and the numbers are way down,” he said.

The number of cattle being taken to slaughter houses is at its lowest since 1950, and Magnuson said states like Texas, the Dakotas and Washington have seen the worst numbers of all.

Feeding the cattle hasn’t gotten any cheaper.

Magnuson said last year a “little square hay bale” doubled from $5 to $9, while larger round hay bales went from $60 to $150.

Contractor: Fined $1,500 a day Problems corrected, project moving forward

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The city of Princeton has placed a daily $1,500 fine against Vissering Construction Co. for failing to substantially complete the city’s new water treatment plant on time.

At Monday’s meeting, the Princeton City Council confirmed the fine would be retroactive

Beef From Page 1 “It’s costing more to feed them, and hay isn’t cheap,” he said.

Besides the drought, Magnuson touched on another issue that is affecting the cattle business.

Young farmers are steering away from cattle and knocking down fences around pasture fields to make room for soybeans and corn crops. Magnuson said farmers in the market have been getting onethird more for their crops than they did a

to May 4. The council had voted at its May 20 meeting to give Vissering, the general contractor, a 30-day time extension with no penalty to complete its work, even though the contracted date for the plant to be substantially finished was May 4. However, if the plant was not substantially finished by June 4, the $1,500 daily fine would be reinstated retroactive to May 4, the council agreed.

At Monday’s council meeting, Superintendent of Water Mike Eggers gave an update on

the project and the reason for the delay. The major issue for the delay has been with the supplier of the paint needed for the interior piping.

A few weeks after the pipes were painted, they started to experience a failure of the paint. The paint problem has been corrected but has caused a back-up of everything else that needs to be completed by other subcontractors, Eggers said.

The manufacturing company did accept responsibility for the paint failure, Eggers said. If the paint was

not corrected, the plant could have had some corrosion problems in a few years. With the money being paid for the project, the product should have been top-notch, he said, recommending the city will need to look at an extended warranty on the pipes.

The city broke ground on the $22 million water treatment plant project in early November 2011. The new plant, located on the northwest edge of town in the Princeton Technology Park, fea-

tures a two-story building, which will house the processing plant, and a one-story section of the building, which will house offices and a garage.

On Wednesday, Eggers said the paint issues have all been resolved, and he expects the project to be substantially completed within the next few weeks.

He is hopeful the new water treatment plant can still be in operation by early fall, which was the original goal.

couple years ago. He also said in the past two years, corn has risen to $7.50 and $8.50 a bushel.

Plus, building a cow herd takes more time and patience, which nobody seems to have much of these days.

Magnuson said why would young farmers want to hassle with building a fence; keeping cattle in; having to round them up if they get out; waiting a year to breed them; and then find out the calf dies.? On top of all that work, the cattle regulators and Environmental

Protection Agency are coming down on cattle farmers harder than ever these days.

More money at less hassle? Of course, most anyone would elect to take the easier path.

“It’s got to be in your heart and mind. It takes time,” Magnuson said.

“It’s an added expense, and you just don’t see the younger guys doing it.”

Although Magnuson has plans to retire within the next few years, the trends are sad. For someone who has been in the business since 1975, seeing the chang-

es and dwindling cattle ranches is troubling.

looking to see what will make the best deal.

At the Wyanet Locker, owner Scott Sabin said he hasn’t run into much of an increase on beef this year. The little rise in prices is due mostly to the larger demand for meat in the summer. He did say he was expecting prices to increase more due to last summer’s drought.

Sabin expects current prices to stay about the same until July, and then they should drop back down to “normal” prices.

At the grocery stores At the market, Magnuson said about six or seven years ago the price for cattle was .72 cents a pound, and today it’s at $1.30, adding people should understand that although it’s doubled, the meat in the grocery store has only gone up one-third. He said with summer here, stores will be consistently looking ahead to find cheap prices and

Drowning in water problems Water meters, residents’ bill, increased $$$

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS – Although it’s been four months since Manlius received new water meters to install for residents, issues with readings, hidden costs and possible missing parts in the order have come to light.

On Tuesday, the village board learned of a hidden annual cost of about $2,165 for customer support and updates to the new meters. The cost came as a shock and disappointment to village board members, and they questioned why the village’s former mayor hadn’t told them of the cost.

“I thought we spent this money (on the meters) to save $600 annually, and now we’ve ended up with a $2,165 cost,” current Mayor Rob Hewitt said.

Village board member Jan Williams suggested the board stop the water meter project and look into the order before they proceed.

“Two thousand dollars is a big wad of money,” she said.

Another issue brought to attention was the increase in residents’ water bills last month.

Water billing clerk Susan Marie Elmendorf said bills were higher for people with the new water meters.

She has learned the old meters could have been running 50 percent slower than the new meters, therefore people would notice an increase in their bills.

“The water meters currently installed don’t having moving mechanisms like the old ones, and if the old ones wear down, there is more friction, and they start to run slower,” she said. “That’s just the nature of the beast.”

The new meters may just be showing a more accurate reading, she added.

With all the complaints of water bills showing an increase of $40 to $50, Elmendorf decided to credit residents the amount that had increased.

“We do have issues; I’m not going to lie,” she said. “There’s still issues right now, but we are working on them.”

Elmendorf asked for more direction from the village board on whether she should continue to credit the customers who call about the increase, or if she should tell them the new meters are just reading a more accurate reading.

Hewitt said the village may not have been getting accurate readings from residents’ meters for years, therefore, it could be where the village was seeing a big loss. It may be a reality residents will have to face with the new meters.

Village board member Dawn Reglin said the board should have tried the new meters on a couple homes before going full swing with the project.

“Now there is no backing out; and we’re stuck with what we got; and now we are realizing we don’t have everything we thought we needed; and now we are having to order more stuff,” she said.

“We spent $40,000 on meters so everyone would have a more accurate reading, but only to find out that now everybody’s water bills are going to be doubling on top of the sewer bill everyone got stuck with,” she said.

The village board plans to meet in a special meeting on June 25 to further discuss the water meter issue and come to an agreement on what direction to take with the issues.

Sirens, an evidence room and a new website Walnut discusses a variety of issues

By Nita Wyatt news@bcrnews.com

WALNUT — Did you hear the storm sirens?

The Walnut Village Board met this week, and several board members expressed concerns about storm sirens not being activated during recent storms. A discussion was held regarding who holds the responsibility for the storm sirens within the village.

Village President Dennis Grobe will be setting up a meeting with the Walnut Fire Department to discuss issues regarding public safety. Grobe

will provide an update to the board at an upcoming board meeting.

Also at Monday’s meeting, the board approved a request from the Walnut Police Department requesting the ability to construct a secure evidence room on the second floor of the Village Hall. The evidence room would have a secure door, shelving and possibly a fireproof file cabinet. Constructing this evidence room would allow the village police to store all evidence of police actions in one location. Currently, such evidence is stored in several locations in village buildings. The cost of this construction would be a maximum of $500.

In other business, board member Aaron Staker

suggested the village might want to consider setting up a website. This website would provide information about the village and could be used to broadcast public safety information. Staker will provide to the board, at a future meeting, information on the cost of setting up a website, information on the maintenance and updating of such a site, plus any ongoing costs after the initial setup.

In other business: • Learned the boil order that had been in effect was lifted. The need for the boil order stemmed from a filter issue at the water plant. The problem has been rectified.

• Heard Grobe make committee assignments.

Several of the standing committees have

scheduled upcoming meetings: Finance Committee, 5 p.m. June 13; Streets and Alleys Committee, 10 a.m. Monday; and the Local Improvements Committee, 5 p.m.

Wednesday.

• Heard from Carl Minks, the village superintendent, that swimming pools over 4 feet are required to have a fence around them. Also, blowing grass clippings into the street is an ordinance violation. The village police will be monitoring this activity. The superintendent also requested the purchase of a new or repair of the current backhoe be put on the agenda for the next meeting, which is set for June 17.

Stopping the bully Russell: Bullying policy a good thing

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton Park Board heard an update on the bullying issue at the Bureau County Metro Center.

At Monday’s meeting, board member Dick Volk-

er asked Elaine Russell, executive director, if a previous bullying issue was getting better and had stopped at the Metro Center.

Russell said it’s not a matter of stopping or starting, but bullying seems to be rather a mild continuance. Something will flare up at one time, and then nothing else might flare up for several months, she said.

The board’s decision to develop a bullying policy has been a good thing

which gives her direction on what is allowed and how to handle potential bullying issues, Russell said.

The park board adopted a code of conduct policy for patrons in August 2012 which detailed expected behavior and the consequences of violations to the policy. The policy was the result of board discussion following a June 2012 report by Russell on bullying instances at the Metro Center.

“What the policy did was give me leverage in conversation during a difficult situation,” Russell said on Tuesday. “It is never easy to diffuse an angry person who is not willing to listen. This way I can indicate to the individual that I will not continue this conversation until they have read our policy with regards to such behavior. Telling someone they are bullying

Aid From Page 1 Thirty-three counties in Illinois qualified for individual federal disaster assistance designation, including Brown, Bureau, Calhoun, Clark, Cook, Crawford, DeKalb, Douglas, DuPage, Fulton, Grundy, Henderson, Henry, Kane, Kendall, Knox, Lake, LaSalle, Livingston, Marshall, Mason, McDonough, McHenry, Peoria, Pike, Rock Island, Schuyler, Stark, Tazewell, Whiteside, Will, Winnebago and Woodford.

On Monday, Bureau County Emergency Services Disaster Agency Coordinator Kris Donarski said a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) team came to Bureau County on Sunday to begin its federal disaster assistance assessment process for individuals and businesses. How long the FEMA team will need to be in Bureau County is unknown, she said.

The 17 households approved to date for the federal assistance may not be the final number once the FEMA assessments are completed.

Residents approved for federal disaster assistance will work directly with the FEMA office, not her office, Donarski said.

According to Monday’s press release, anyone affected by the April floods may register for federal assistance. FEMA, which administers the assistance program, has a toll-free telephone number 800-621-FEMA (3362) or 800-462-7585 (TTY) to apply for assistance. Registration also can be done online at disasterassistance.gov.

PRINCETON — A FEMA Disaster Survivor Assistance Team (DSAT) will be in Princeton on Saturday to meet with survivors of the recent flooding in Bureau County.

On Wednesday, Bureau County Emergency Services and Disaster Agency Coordinator Kris Donarski announced the DSAT will be at the Prouty Community Building, located at 435 S. Main St., from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Saturday to meet with victims of the April 16 to May 5 flooding. Staff will be available to answer questions and help with registration for FEMA assistance, Donarski said.

Residents may have reported their damages during the preliminary damage assessment process, however, they still need to fill out an official application with FEMA to actually apply for disaster assistance, Donarski said.

Reporting done during the initial damage assessment is not an application for federal assistance, she said.

Local residents can apply by calling 800621-FEMA (3362) or TTY 800-462-7585. They may also apply online at www.disasterassistance.gov or on their smartphones at m.fema. gov. After a resident applies for assistance, an inspector will come to their home and assess the damages, Donarski said.

When registering for disaster assistance, residents are to have the following information available: Social Security number; private insurance information, if available; address and zip code of the damaged property; directions to the damaged home or property; daytime telephone number and mailing address.

DSAT members may offer residents the opportunity to use a tablet computer to register or ask to enter information on their behalf, Donarski said. Residents will not be required to share personal information unless they wish a DSAT member to enter the data for them. Residents are reminded to ask for federal identification before providing personal information, she said.

Bureau County has not yet heard if it will be declared eligible for fed-

PRINCETON – This Saturday will kick-off the fourth annual Living Works Suicide Walk in Princeton.

The walk begins at 10 a.m. in Darius Miller Park and ends 2.3 miles down the road at Zearing Park.

Living Works founder Chris Compton said taking part in the event is a great way to join together with fellow family and friends who have dealt with a loss from suicide or know someone who has.

“It’s hard to explain the pain that family and friends go through when they lose a loved one from suicide,” she said.

The walk is one way to help and support one another and do something constructive to overcome some of the pain, said Compton.

In other business, the board voted to cancel its July 1 and Aug. 5 board meetings, as has been done in previous years during the summer months.

The board typically meets twice a month, on the first and third Mondays, but has cancelled the first Monday meetings in July and August to help work around vacation schedules and busy summer routines.

If a matter would come up which would need board attention, the board can reinstate the cancelled meetings as needed, board President Gene Englehart said.

year’s event will by Putnam County native Leah Rolando, who is now a student at Northern Illinois University and has started the “To Write Love on Her Arms” high school campaign. The band, Long Ladder Home will play music. There will be a memorial signing wall, refreshments, gift raffle, balloon launch and much more.

The funds raised during this event will offer local suicide “first aid” intervention training and grief support to those who’ve lost loved ones to suicide.

Compton said a calendar of events is in preparation that will utilize the funds. The events include speakers, intervention training, and Living Works is also looking at possible ways to fund help directly to people with mental illnesses.

Coming into her fourth year with the walk, Compton said it contin-

ues to be important for her because when she lost her son to suicide in 2006, she found herself needing some way to handle the pain. On her son’s Facebook page she saw he had listed “helping people” under his favorite things to do. Putting on the walk is a way Compton can live through her son to help people deal with, acknowledge and address suicide.

“I honestly had no idea (the walk) would become as big as it has,” she said.

“We have people from Peoria, Ottawa and even Marseilles coming. It reaches out further every year.”

Looking ahead to the summer season, Russell said the coming weeks will be busy with lots of activities. About 30 part-time employees will be added to the payroll to work as lifeguards, at the summer day camp and in the parks.

Currently, 52 children have signed up for the first group of swimming lessens with another session to be held July 15-25. Parents are urged to sign up their children early for the July session, as the first session filled up quickly, Russell said, adding private swimming lessons will also be given during the summer when lifeguards are available.

Summer camp started this week at the Metro Center and will run for 11 weeks with 24 children already registered.

Other programs include tennis lessons, junior weight training, a 4-on-4 men’s summer basketball league, adult sand volleyball league, a men’s fall softball league and karate.

Two babysitting courses are set for June 21 and July 19. Also, for the music enthusiasts, a new special interest program, called “Weekly Open Mic Night at the Met,” will run from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturdays, through July 27.

Humbled by hair There’s an old saying, actually from the Bible, that says “Pride goes before a fall.”

Unfortunately, I experienced that old saying a couple weeks ago.

I like to think of myself as a pretty good grandma. I’m conscientious, and I follow the parents’ guidelines and rules when I’m playing COMMENTARY with their kids.

I love my grandchildren freely and deeply. I correct them, if needed, very lightly.

There’s not much I wouldn’t do for my daughters, sons-in-law and my grandchildren. But that was before May 22.

Since that day, I have drawn the line in the sand when it comes to supervising haircuts for my granddaughters.

I was in Salt Lake City on May 22 to visit our middle daughter Clarissa, her husband Ryan, and their two daughters, Brynnan, 5, and Brooklyn, 1. During the past few years, I have made this trip several times and have always come away, as far as I know, with high praises from my daughter and son-in-law for my grandma skills.

But that was before May 22.

On that day, I was helping to babysit Brynnan and Brooklyn while their folks took a short trip for their anniversary. Clarissa had left plenty of written instructions, and we had them down pat. We knew what foods they could and could not eat, what nap time and bed times were, what kinds of outings they liked.

The problem came when Clarissa decided it would be good for me, the trustworthy grandma, to take Brynnan for a hair trim on the day before she would “graduate” from preschool. I didn’t flinch much, even though I knew haircuts can sometimes be tricky things.

Clarissa’s hair instructions were short and sweet. She wanted Brynnan’s haircut to her shoulders. We would go to the same beautician who had trimmed Brynnan’s hair before, so Brynnan was familiar with her.

But the next time I take Brynnan or any other grandchild for a haircut, if there is a next time (which is very unlikely), I will ask the parents to draw a picture of their definition of “shoulder.”

I have learned, since May 22, that some people define the shoulder based on where the lowest part of the shoulder reaches the upper arm.

Other people define shoulder as where the lower neck touches the next part of the body.

Brynnan’s beautician obviously follows the “lower neck” definition of shoulder. My daughter and son-in-law seem to prefer the “upper arm” definition of shoulder.

At the moment when the beautician brought her scissors out, I got a text from Clarissa.

“Please make sure the beautician doesn’t cut Brynnan’s hair too short, keep it a little lower than the shoulder.”

I glanced up from my phone and watched in slow motion as the scissors cut through Brynnan’s hair, more in line with the lower neck guideline.

I honestly didn’t know what to do. I thought about having the beautician leave the rest of Brynnan’s hair long, but I knew that wouldn’t work. I thought about totally blaming the beautician for blatantly disobeying my command, but obviously she had cut it just right according to her definition of “shoulder.”

In my mind, I envisioned all my grandma medals falling to the floor with Brynnan’s hair.

But fortunately for me, Brynnan loved her new haircut, and her parents have adjusted quite nicely. But it was a traumatic experience, more for me than anyone else.

TO Letter THE Editor

The pulpit To the Editor, When you were born, you had no control over your circumstances. Over the family you were born into, whether rich and well educated or poor and uneducated. Over your ethnic background or your parents’ religious background, whether that be Protestant, Catholic, Islam or Humanist (Atheist). Whether in an abusive family or a loving family.

With good health or poor health.

But one thing is certain, you were not born a Christian. Another thing that is certain: You were born with a sin nature.

Religion is an attempt by man to earn his salvation. Christianity is based on what God has done and only He could do to provide salvation for sinful fallen man. No one is good enough to gain entrance into Heaven. The Ten Commandments show us how far we fall short of God’s standards. Jesus said for one to enter Heaven

he must be “born again.”

But we must not remain babies. Peter said to “grow up in your salvation.”

Romans 12: 2 says “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

May I make a challenge to the churches in America today, a list of things that should distinguish Christians from the world.

• The world. The church.

• Abortion, the killing of the innocent. Speak up on the behalf of the unborn and partial born.

• Pornography. Purity.

• Socialism. God established government.

• Homosexuality. Marriage: one man and one woman.

• Government run schools. Godly education.

• Corrupt government.

Is our government a reflection of “we the people.”

• Cross dressing. Distinction between male and female way of dress.

• Gender confusion.

God is not a God of confusion.

When I think back to that day, I remain humbled, even a little mortified, by my lack of grandparenting skills.

Fortunately, the rest of my babysitting time went fine, other than a little incident involving Brooklyn’s head and the sidewalk. But I decided the par-

• Ignorance of Scriptures. Study to show yourself approved.

• Fornication. Sex outside of marriage forbidden.

• Immodesty. Modest apparel.

• Divorce. Marriage to be honored.

• Evolution. Creation.

• Excessive busyness.

“Be still and know that I am God.” • Broad gate. Narrow gate.

• Corruption. Salt of the earth.

• Hollywood. Set no unclean thing before our eyes.

• Racism. One race, the human race.

• Rebellion. Submit to authority.

• Drunkenness. Sobriety.

• A variety of ungodly traits. The Love Chapter.

• Grumbling. Contentment.

• Adultery. Undefiled.

• Excessive entertainment. Moderation.

• Partiality. Justice.

• Goats. Sheep.

• The Lottery. Do not covet.

• Cheating. Integrity.

• Pride. Humility.

• Cowardliness. Courage.

• Flaunting sexual perversion. Strong families and abstinence until marriage.

• Moral decay. Grow in the grace and knowledge of God. • No accountability.

Heaven or Hell.

The purpose of the pulpit? Paul gave Timothy this charge, “Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage – with great patience and careful instruction.”

The responsibility of those who sit in the pews?

James 1:22 says, “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.

Do what it says.” Those on both sides of the pulpit have 52 opportunities a year to “grow in the grace in knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” -II Peter 2:18. There is no such thing as instant maturity.

Ted Roberts Princeton

ents didn’t need to know about that little scrape, since no stitches were needed.

Grandparenting is definitely harder than I thought.

A talented artist as well as accomplished artisan, Schertz produces intricate works both huge and small at her forge on Owen Street. She began her unusual career almost 15 years ago when her husband Tom suggested that she try her hand at welding in the shop building they own in Tiskilwa.

As time went by, Doc turned “Well, why not give it a try?” into a thriving

St. Bede seniors accept the Lady Bruins IHSA Class 2A State fourth-place trophy in East Peoria Sunday. Coach Bill Prokup this year’s Lady Bruins have raised the bar at the Academy for years to come with all teams being compared to them.

Raising the bar Lady Bruins will be remembered for years to come

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

It was sure fun while it lasted.

The St. Bede Lady Bruins played their way to the IHSA 2A State Softball tournament, marking their spot in Academy history as the first female sports team to reach state in any sport.

They are just the second team in school history to reach state, the first since the 1988 baseball team won the state championship.

Simply put, St. Bede head coach Bill Prokup said it was a nice run.

“As a coach, one of my goals was to create a memory for this group of young ladies. I think we achieved that,” he said. “I think we showed we could compete against the very best in the state. The girls should take great pride in their effort, especially in the seventh inning of both games. They

“Well, it was a really exciting. I mean it is a goal all season to make it down there. I’m really proud of my team especially to do something that has never been done at the Academy.”

Lydia Stariha, SBA senior showed a lot of heart.

“They made history at St. Bede as the first girls team to reach the state finals. That is something no one can take away from them.”

Illinois Wesleyan University proved to be just the right fit for Steve Gualandri. It gave the recent St. Bede Academy graduate the opportunity to compete in track and field and offered the academics program he wanted to study.

“I learned about their excellent biology program, I was interested in the fact they have theater and that it was a liberal arts school and I think I could continue to run track,” said Gualandri, who signed with the Titans Friday morning at St. Bede. “I feel Illinois Wesleyan is a good choice because it has everything I’m looking for.”

Gualandri capped his prep career in style with a fourth-place State medal in the 300 hurdles. He

He still holds the Wildcats basketball career records for point per game (19.9) for and ranks second in rebounds per game (13.2). Those numbers hold true 54 years upon his departure from the Evanston campus to embark on a brief stint in the NBA. Now, Ruklick, 74, who first made his name in basketball

Kevin Hieronymus HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS

at Princeton High School, is being featured as one of the 50 Wildcat Greats in the upcoming Alumni magazine published by Northwestern.

The list includes athletes in

all sports ranging from basketball, baseball and football to field hockey, soccer and lacrosse. The most notable Wildcats are Ruklick along with Darnell Autry (football), Billy McKenney (basketball), Otto Graham (football, basketball, baseball). The most notable absentee is former Cubs catcher and current New York manager Joe Girardi.

You can vote for Ruklick by visiting www.northwestern.edu/

There is a nice feature on Ruklick entitled “Baskets and Bylines,” chronicling Ruklick’s career in basketball and journalism.

Skoflanc believes Gualandri has unlimited potential in both hurdles and triple jump and anticipates him being able to run any of the sprint relays as well.

“I’m certainly going to miss having Steven around every day, but I am also very excited about his signing and also very proud of how good Steven made himself through all of his hard work,” Skoflanc said. “I would just want to wish Steven continued success both in the classroom and on the track at IWU.” Comment on this story@www.bcrnews. com.

Canale told the BCR that Princeton’s Michael Murray, who also just completed his two-year hoops career at IVCC, could follow Schwab to William Penn to play both basketball and baseball.

From Page 9 Ruklick said he is grateful for the honor.

“The Northwestern news takes me back to my beginnings in Princeton, where it was a blessing to live and benefit from the kindness of its citizens,” he said. “It’s a fine and wonderful place. And I was blessed by the good fortune that placed Coach Sheffer there. He, a man of highest principle, epitomized the best of Princeton.

Somewhere today he’s reminded that he achieved one of his purposes on this earth, that of teaching the town’s highest values to young men like me.

Ruklick came to Princeton at age 11 when his mother fell ill with tuberculosis. What was to be a short stay, proved to be life-changing thanks to the late Tiger coach Don Sheffer.

He was cut from the freshmen basketball team, then recruited by Sheffer, who by chance met the tall, but awkward Ruklick in the hallway that day. Sheffer invited Ruklick to varsity practice that year and taught him how to shoot the hook shot. By his varsity years, then 6-foot-9, Ruklick became an unstoppable force, adept at shooting the hook shoot with either hand.

He led the Tigers to the State Tournament in 1953-54 and a return trip in 1954-55 to make good on a fourthplace trophy in the old one-class system. He was named as a prep AllAmerican his senior year, averaging 27.0 ppg his senior year.

The Princeton High School booster club recently honored the Tiger great with a pre-game ceremony at PHS and replicas of his PHS, NU and NBA uniforms hang in the Corridor of Champions.

With offers from many top collegiate coaches, including legendary Adolph Rupp of Kentucky’s and Ray Meyer of DePaul, Ruklick chose Northwestern for its recruiting integrity and for being the only school that “noticed I was a good student.”

With freshmen being ineligible to play back in his day, Ruklick made the most of just three seasons in the Wildcat uniform from 1956-59. He stands third all-time in rebounding (868) with a high average of 13.9 a game his junior season. He is 13th in scoring with 1,315 points.

From Evanston, Ruklick was drafted by the NBA’s Philadelphia Warriors in 1959. There was one problem that came with it and it was a big one.

The Warriors also drafted the Wilt Chamberlain, an athletic 7-foot-1

superstar who rarely came out of games. As Wilt the Stilt’s back-up, Ruklick only averaged 8 minutes and 3.5 points per game in three seasons in Philadelphia. When the Warriors moved to San Francisco in 1962, Ruklick opted to retire to move into the business field.

Ruklick and Chamberlain became forever linked in the history books on March 2, 1962 in Hersey, Pa. It was Ruklick who made the assist on Chamberlain’s famous 100th-point basket against the Knicks. Ruklick was put into the game upon the request of Chamberlain because he feared some of other white players on the Warriors were racist and would not pass him the ball.

Despite their vast different upbringings, Ruklick, white from rural Midwest and Chamberlain, black from the big city (Philadelphia), they become fast friends until Chamberlain’s untimely death in 1999 at the age of 63. Chamberlain always joked with Ruklick he liked him because he had “dumped” 52 points with 31 rebounds in his college debut playing for Kansas against Ruklick and Northwestern in 1956.

Shortly before his passing, I got to interview the Big Dipper for a story on his friendship with Ruklick, entitled, “the only color that mattered was the color of the ball.” It is one of my favorite pieces I’ve written in my 26 and a half years here.

Next up Sprint Cup Race: Party in the Poconos 400 Where: Pocono Raceway When: Sunday, 1:00 p.m. (ET) TV: TNT 2012 Winner: Joey Logano

Tony Stewart breaks losing skid with Dover win The FedEx 400 at Dover International Speedway on Sunday may wind up being the race that launched comebacks for some of the sport’s most talented drivers.

After a dismal start to 2013, Tony Stewart came away with the win on Sunday, breaking a losing skid that stretched back to last July at Daytona.

Stewart’s win came a week after he finished seventh at Charlotte, his best effort of the season up to that point. And the three-time Cup champion typically is at his best when summertime rolls around and the tracks get hot and slick.

Juan Pablo Montoya, who lost the lead at Dover to Stewart with just three laps remaining, also appears poised to put his struggles of the past season and a half behind him. In the past five races, he’s finished fourth at Richmond, eighth at Darlington and second at Dover after posting an average finish of 21.7 for all of last year. In his favor as well is the schedule, which includes two races on road courses, his strong suit, between now and Aug. 11.

Jeff Gordon also came on strong at the end at Dover to post his second third-place finish in the past three Cup races.

All three are currently outside the top 10 in the points standings, but they’re not out of the running for berths in the Chase, especially with the wild-card provision that allows those inside the top 20 with race victories a chance to compete for the championship.

Gordon is 11th in the standings, while Stewart is 16th and Montoya is 22nd.

As late as the Dover race’s final caution at Lap 378 for a wreck by Denny Hamlin, none of the three appeared to have a winning hand.

Points leader Jimmie Johnson, going for a record eighth Dover victory, had the car to beat. But he jumped race leader Montoya on the restart, and his trip down pit road to serve the penalty left him with a 17th-place finish.

Johnson disputed the penalty, saying Montoya didn’t take off, but NASCAR officials said the call was simple, since Johnson should have given Montoya the lead back.

With Johnson out of the picture, Montoya held the top spot until Stewart made his move in the high groove with three laps to go and scored his 48th career Cup victory.

Stewart said in his winner’s press con-

Tony Stewart celebrates his win in the FedEx 400 Benefiting Autism Speaks. ference that one win doesn’t mean his Stewart-Haas Racing team has corrected all the problems that have plagued the three-car team this season, but it is a sign of better things to come.

“I think last week (at Charlotte) was a step

in the right direction, and a bigger step than I possibly could have imagined,” Stewart said.

“This week (at Dover) is a step in the right direction.”

But he cautioned that the process of getting his car, as well as those of his teammates Ryan

Newman and Danica Patrick, back up front isn’t something that can be done in a hurry.

“This is not an organization that’s turned around in two weeks,” he said. “We still have a lot of work to do to get it turned around. But the last two weeks, we’ve

made progress. I think as an organization, we have a lot to be proud of right now.”

Montoya also seemed buoyed by his strong run.

“I think that win is coming,” he said. “It’s just good to be running this good every week. We got two top-fives in about a month, near misses, wins ... I think they are coming. I’ve said this before: You have got to start running in topfives, top-10s to be able to get wins, to give yourself a shot.”

Gordon also sounded like he has momentum on his side after a slow start to 2013.

“It’s certainly a great feeling,” he said. “We have been running good.

We just have had some things happen to us, kind of like last year, some self-inflicted and some things out of our hands.

“We have just got to fight. That’s what got us in the Chase last year, and that’s what is going to get us in there this year.”

Defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski and his Penske Racing teammate Joey Logano both had their crew chiefs and other key team members back on the job at Dover after serving two-week suspensions for rules violations at Texas Motor Speedway. Keselowski finished fifth and Logano seventh, apparent signs that their seasons are back on track, but several media reports indicate that Keselowski’s No. 2 Ford failed post-race inspection because the front end was too low.

Bob McCook (from left), mayor of Cherry, welcomes Greg Campbell, area manager of Illinois Valley Area Systems; Rick Storch, president of CAS Industries, parent company of IVAS; Royce Mignone, IVAS operations manager; James Hadley, millwright and Mike Yepsen, IVAS office manager.

IVAS opens facility in Cherry CHERRY — Illinois Valley Agri Systems (IVAS) has sprung into successful operation at a new facility in Cherry.

Spring Valley/Hall High School product Greg Campbell leads the way as the area manager for IVAS. After a 20-plus year stint at various locations across the country with ADM, Campbell returned to the Illinois Valley area and is extremely happy to be here.

“I was never sure that I would return to this area,” said Campbell.

“But on my trip back

here when my father passed, I met my wife, and suddenly I was back!”

The agriculture business has never been hotter with the entire industry moving from family business to big business. Manufactures of grain related production, transportation, storage and processing equipment and solutions are all doing well nationwide.

IVAS specializes in the design, construction and maintenance of grain storage and pro-

cessing structures and systems. With IVAS’ home offices in the state of Ohio, Campbell sees the local territory as running north from Wisconsin, south to Peoria and all the way from Iowa to Indiana, generally across the north central part of Illinois.

Campbell said, “It is a bit of perfect storm. Not only is there, of course, strong demand for completely new systems and operations, but a tremendous amount of the installed elevators

out there are seeing end of life for their current bins and equipment that was installed 40 plus years ago.”

IVAS’ planned success would spell good news for Cherry and the rest of the Illinois Valley.

“Our goal is to create 40 to 50 full-time, year-round jobs in the next five years,” said Campbell.

To speak to IVAS concerning its grain storage and processing solutions, contact Campbell at 815-894-2061 or email gcampbell@bright.net.

Frank Vonch nois Department of Children and Family Services in Ottawa for five years in the state’s investigative and follow-up unit. His move to become the area direc-

tor for Catholic Charities took him from Ottawa to Aurora, and from there, he became executive director where he worked in Rockford.

“I am honored to accept this position, and I look forward to continuing the mission of YSB, providing services to children and families in their local communities. Currently, challenges in social services exist, but YSB has a long tradition of meeting the needs of children and families. Additionally, the strong, dedication of the YSB staff bodes well for the future,” said Vonch.

Trot on over to Princeton Pony Mail Box New store has several facets

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Convenience for area businesses and individuals are the biggest reasons why Jackie Johnson recently opened a business in Princeton.

“You can stop by here and get what you need and get on your way quickly,” said Johnson, the president of Princeton Pony Mail Box Inc., located within Harvest Commons at 616 N. Main St. in Princeton.

Johnson, who was born and raised in Princeton before moving back to the area about a year ago from the Nashville, Tenn., area, said the closest store to send packages is in Peru, which is very inconvenient for Princeton area businesses and customers.

“It came out of our own need to open this store and to make it more convenient and easier for businesses,” she added.

“There are FedEx stores in the Quad Cities or Peoria. Ottawa has a UPS store, but it is strictly UPS.” Johnson said the centralized location in Princeton was a main factor in helping her to decide where she should open her store.

Jackie Johnson is the president of Princeton Pony Mail Box Inc. located within Harvest Commons at 616 N. Main St. in Princeton.

“It is easy to get to with the parking in the rear,” she added. “We sell convenience with shipping and mailing, selling products like boxes and packing materials and renting private mail boxes.”

Princeton Pony Mail Box also offers business services like a printer, receiving or sending faxes and scanning documents. She also offers notary services, laminating and shredding.

“We are an authorized

shipper for FedEx and UPS and will be for the U.S. Postal Service in a week or so when the paperwork is finished,” she added.

Johnson said customers can come to Princeton Pony Mail Box store to compare prices for FedEx, UPS or U.S. Postal Service to determine the best shipping deal for them from those three options.

“We can package for you or ship items that you package yourself,”

she said.

The store is open from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. Customers of the mail boxes have access to them 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“We are easy to find and easy to do business with,” added Johnson.

Johnson said she is excited about being back in Princeton, where she graduated from high school many years ago.

“It has been fun recon-

necting with family and friends,” she said. “My husband worked with a man in Nashville to design this store. He mentored me on what to do with software, etc.”

Johnson wants customers to know she is an independent owner of Princeton Pony Mail Box Inc. and not a franchise owner. She can be reached at 815-915-8231 or by email at pponymailbox@comcast.net.

Firin’ it up – It’s grilling time Local chef gives some grilling tips

By Ken Schroeder Shaw Media Service

The first true warmer weather have finally arrived.

It’s not robins or the first flowers blooming; it’s the smell of charcoal wafting from the grill on a weekend afternoon.

Summer is the perfect time of year to clean up the grill, stock up on briquettes and make sure you’ve got lots of grill-ables in the kitchen.

Grills and smokers are popular items with more than 14.3 million sold during 2012, according to the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association. Gas grills have become the most popular type of grill with just over eight million purchased, outselling the traditional charcoal units at just under six million sales. Electric grills are starting to gain acceptance with sales last year of 280,000 units.

If you do own a grill, you’re in good company.

Eighty-six percent of households own an outdoor barbecue, grill or smoker, and most grill owners use their grills year-round (62 percent). In most ways, grillers are still traditionalists, with the most popular foods to grill are still meats, especially burgers, steak, hot dogs and chicken.

While most grill owners see themselves as wellversed in grilling techniques, there is an agreement that there’s always more to learn; so who best to turn to for some grilling suggestions than a chef? Tim Freed is chef at the Peru Hy-Vee and looks forward to grilling as one of his favorite leisure time activities.

Freed has several recommendations on making your grill session go smoothly.

“Using charcoal briquettes for your grill’s heat?

Then light the coals about 30 minutes before cooking. If you’re using lighter fluid, make sure the fire is

completely out before slapping the meat on the grill, or else you’ll have the nasty fuel taste. At this time, the charcoal should be mostly an ash-gray color with a little bit of glowing red underneath,” Freed said.

“Using a smoker? Light the charcoal with a chimney starter,” he said. “It’s relatively quick to get some hot coals going, and you won’t have to fret about getting nasty lighter fluid fumes in your smoker. If using a smoker, minimize the amount of times you open it.

I know you’re anxious to see how the meat is doing, but opening it frequently will keep the smoker below the necessary heat levels.”

It’s best to clean your grill grate with a stiff wire brush or a piece of crumpled-up foil, followed by a touch-up with a clean dry paper towel. Charcoal absorbs moisture easily, so store it in a dry place.

Freed also recommends not to pierce meat with a fork or prongs. The juices will escape, making the meat drier and less flavorful. Instead, use a spatula or tongs to move and flip the food. Don’t press the burgers down with a spatula as they cook unless you like a dry hamburger.

Flavor is one of the main reasons people use a grill, but Freed recommends getting outside that “comfort zone” of BBQ sauce.

“Experiment with different types of marinades, seasonings and rubs to give your food unique and delicious tastes. Marinades tenderize meat in addition to giving them some wild flavoring,” said Freed. “If at all possible, marinade overnight; but if you can’t, try to give at least an hour of the meat soaking in the marinade sauce. The resealable plastic bag was made for marinating.”

Meats are perfect for grilling, and by now almost everyone has heard of grilling a pizza. But why stop there?

“There is no fruit you can’t grill. Pineapples, peaches are my favorite – slice or cut in half, brush with melted butter and, if you want, brown sugar, and grill.

There are few tastier desserts than grilled fruit, and somehow, it always surprises people,” said Freed.

Nickname: Bea, Britt, Bert.

School: LaMoille High School.

Date/place of birth: July 9, 1995. Perry Memorial Hospital.

Hometown: LaMoille.

Family: Parents - Brian and Julie Chasteen; Sisters - Amanda and Melanie.

Sports: Volleyball, basketball, softball.

Favorite sport and why: Softball, because I love how it’s more of a independent sport and yet still get to be a team. I love the exhilaration and it has always been a huge part of my life.

Likes: Chocolate, reading and pink.

Dislikes: Negative or self-centered people.

Person with the greatest Influence on my athletic career (and why): My father. He has always pushed me to do my best, even when I wanted to quit.

Person with the greatest influence in my life (and why): My mother. I have no idea what I’d do without her.

If stranded on a deserted island, I would have my: Mom and cell phone.

The CD in my player at home/car Is: A mixed CD. People would be surprised to know: I have Crohn’s disease.

I stay home to watch: Chicago Fire.

When I need luck for a big game, I: get hyped up with teammates or put my headphones in and think about what I’m going to do in the game by setting personal goals.

The funniest person I’ve ever met (and why): Ashley Schrader.

If you aren’t laughing around her, she obviously doesn’t like you or something is wrong!

What they’ll say about me at school after I graduate: “She was fun to be around and always has such a great attitude.”

Most embarrassing moment: Drug dogs came to the school and showed interest in my car. So after the embarrassment of being pulled out of class to be asked if I had drugs in my car and if they had permission to search it, they found out the dog just wanted the broccoli that my sister left in there from her lunch. So the big joke about drugs is “Make sure you didn’t bring your broccoli today.”

Most unforgettable moment: Getting Prom Queen.

Ultimate sports fantasy: Just getting to play softball in college would be fantastic.

What I would like to do in life: Study special education at ISU and be able to teach.

Three words that best describe myself: Sweet, fun and clumsy.
