County looking for solutions to tower problem

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com.

PRINCETON – The Bureau County Board continues to look at what can be done to protect the county jail’s communication tower from lightning strikes.

At Tuesday’s meeting, the county board voted unanimously to hire E & S Grounding Solutions of California to do a field work study on the grounding grid system at the base of the tower, located directly behind the county jail. The California company will complete testing of the grounding grid, write an interpretation of the test results, and complete a site work plan. The cost to the county for the work is $9,650, which includes travel expenses.

On Thursday, Buildings and Grounds Committee Chairman Kristi Warren said the tower has been hit by lightning three times in recent years, with the last time, in April, causing the most extensive damage.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the April 10 lightning strike at the jail tower took out the sheriff’s department’s communication radios, Internet system, computer system, telephone system and the control panel for all the doors for the entire jail system.

At that time, Sheriff John Thompson said the jail’s radio communication was quickly diverted to Spring Valley until things could be restored at the jail.

On Thursday, Warren said the county has recently added some lightning protection and surge protection features to the tower, as part of the county’s recent radio system upgrade project, but there seems to be some issue at the base of the tower with its grounding grid.

Once E & S Grounding Solutions completes its work, hopefully within the next few weeks, then the county board

Unemployment assistance for flood victims

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Bureau County residents and business owners who are out of work as a direct result of the April 16-May 5 flooding could be eligible for federal disaster unemployment assistance.

On Tuesday, Jay Rowell, director of the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES), announced 14 coun-

ties, including Bureau, Marshall, Stark and Tazewell, have been added to an eligibility list for possible federal assistance for businesses and individuals who are unemployed due to the spring rains and flooding.

Among the counties previously named eligible for this program were Henry and Whiteside.

Rowell said the disaster unemployment assistance program is part of a series of programs made available to

Individuals whose employment or self-employment was lost or interrupted as a result of the rain and flooding might be eligible for financial assistance, Rowell said. The federal disaster declaration enables people in the designated counties to access temporary

SPRING VALLEY – Several Hall graduates are going to be part of the project that will provide a new high school for many generations of area children.

At a special meeting Wednesday, the board unanimously agreed to hire Leopardo Construction Co. for its $32 million new school facility. Board member Mike Morris was absent.

Leopardo president Rick Mattioda is a Spring Valley native. On May 22, when he and several other companies made presentations to the board, Mattioda said it was good to come back to his hometown, and he hoped the board would award his company the contract.

“My dad still lives three blocks from here,” he said. “It would be the most inspiring experience I’ve ever had in my 36-year career.”

Other Spring Valley natives who will work on the project are Tony Orlandi and Jason Samolinski, who will be onsite every day monitoring the project.

In all the board heard from seven companies before choosing Leopardo, which was the recommendation of Superintendent Mike Struna. Struna said he based his recommendation on the company’s extensive preconstruction services, an experienced team during construction, and its history of providing construction management services since its founding in 1979.

The local connection was also a factor.

“I believe that with Leopardo, we are hiring a recognized leader in construction that will provide a full range of services,” Struna said in his recommendation. “But also, we are hiring a team who understands our community and our values and, more importantly, a team who will be personally invested in our project. The construction of Hall High School will not be just another job for Leopardo.”

From Page 1 The board members had met June 5 to make the hiring decision, but they were delayed when there was a $1.2 million gap between the highest and lowest bids.

The companies were then asked to complete a simpler form with an easily comparable breakdown of costs, and Struna said the seven bids then all came close to the budgeted figure of $2.1 million.

The board approved a motion to hire Leopardo Construction Company as construction manager for the new school project and direct the high school district’s attorney to negotiate the details and prepare a contract for approval by the board at a later date.

PHS grads return for Camp 56

CPASA sets new campaign against underage drinking

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com.

PRINCETON — The Community Partners Against Substance Abuse coalition (CPASA) has started a “Draw the Line” campaign to encourage parents and other adults to say no to underage drinking.

CPASA coordinator Dawn Conerton said the purpose of the campaign is to remind parents and adults to do their part in preventing underage drinking by talking to teens about the dangers of alcohol, by not providing alcohol to minors and by supervising teen parties.

To promote its campaign, CPASA has posted a “Draw the Line” pledge for parents and other adults to sign at www. cpasa.org/pledge.

“The good news is that the majority of parents do not provide alcohol to their children,” Conerton said. “But unfortunately there are local parents who supply alcohol for teen parties. Some parents think that ‘supervised’ drinking is ‘safe’ drinking, but the reality is that there is no safe way for underage youth to drink, especially in light of the recent brain research on alcohol and the teen brain.”

According to the 2012 Illinois Youth Survey taken in Bureau and Putnam counties, results showed that 40 percent of the eighth graders who drink in Bureau and Putnam counties indicated their parents had provided them with alcohol with permission, as well as 40 percent of the 10th graders and 38 percent of the 12th graders.

Conerton said studies have shown the teen years are one of the worst possible times to use alcohol because the brain is still actively developing, and won’t finish until the mid-20s. Drinking alcohol during the teen years can damage short- and longterm brain growth and that damage can be permanent, she said.

exchange for 300 hours of service. Harper said the Learning Stage’s sponsoring site fee for each volunteer is $1,100, which makes the volunteers a great bargain. A grant from Church Women United helped with this year’s decision to add the second position.

Andersen, who graduated from PHS in 2008, said she became involved with Festival 56 when she came home for summers while in college.

“The first summer I was involved, I was one of the locals cast in the chorus for ‘The Sound of Music,’” she said. “The next summer I had a much more active role in the Festival: I was not only cast as Jaquenetta in Shakespeare’s ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost,’ but I also was the electrics intern.”

Andersen said last summer was her first summer involved with AmeriCorps.

“I heard about the Camp 56 position from Laura Brigham and

applied to AmeriCorps with the specification that I wanted to work the camp in Princeton,” she said.

Andersen is looking forward to this year’s camp. Last year the camp focused on trying to give the campers an understanding on everything from performing to dealing with lighting and props.

“This summer the focus is going to be a bit different,” she said. “I really want to expose the kids to different modes of performance in an effort to let them see how creative they truly are.”

Andersen said there will be a lot of different improvisation games.

“At the end, without giving too much away, we’ll have a project that the campers will create themselves from the ground up,” she said.

“I’m incredibly excited about it!”

Harper, who graduated in 2009, has been involved with Festival 56

since she was a sophomore in high school.

“I played the part of the Nightingale in ‘Once Upon A Mattress,’” she said. “I had always been involved in theatre, but this was my first taste of what a big production could really be like.”

Harper said she decided to work with AmeriCorps this summer because she thought it would be a great opportunity to combine her degree in music education with her love of theatre.

“I will be able to teach the participants in Camp 56 about something I am passionate about and have enjoyed throughout my life so far,” she said.

“In the two weeks that we work with these kids, I hope that they learn a great deal about the hard work, talent and fun that go into a production.”

Holmes, who will begin her teaching career in August at Kewanee Wethersfield, said that, as a music teacher, she hopes the campers will have a better understanding of their own voices and how to use them properly in a musical theatre setting.

“Camp 56 will be a great experience for all involved,” she said.

Studies show that teens who drink are also more likely to suffer blackouts, memory loss and potentially deadly alcohol poisoning from drinking, as well as cause damage to their ability to remember things in the future, Conerton said. Teen drinkers perform worse in school, are more likely to fall behind, and have an increased risk of social problems, depression, suicidal thoughts and violence, she said.

In addition to the online “Draw the Line” website pledge, CPASA is also putting up billboards in the area with a “I Will Be a Parent, Not a Bartender.” message. The coalition will also get its message into the community through radio and newspaper ads, a direct mail campaign and booths at the county fairs, she said.

CPASA’s goal is to do everything possible to help parents understand the health and safety implications of underage drinking and to educate them about their legal responsibility, Conerton said.

Effective Jan. 1, 2013, Illinois law now states that individuals can be arrested and face criminal charges for simply allowing or permitting individuals under the age of 21 to drink alcohol at their residence or on their property, even if the individual did not directly supply or provide the underage person with alcohol, Conerton said.

The bottom line is underage drinking is hazardous to the health and safety of teens and parents play a major role in their child’s decision to make healthy choices, Conerton said.

PRINCETON – When the kids hit the stage Monday for Camp 56’s production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” two Princeton High School graduates will be helping to show them the ropes of putting on a play.

It will be Kirsten Andersen’s second year at camp.

“I’m back again this summer because I had such a wonderful experience last year,” Andersen said.

Both Andersen and Gwen Holmes will be working as AmeriCorps volunteers with the camp.

The camp is run by Learning Stage, which is the education committee of the Princeton Theatre Group. Learning Stage’s Amber Harper said she learned of the value of AmeriCorps volunteers when she was superintendent in the Leepertown School District.

“I was fortunate to find young, energetic, passionate individuals, college bound or recent college graduates, who are ready to work,” Harper said.

AmeriCorps volunteers receive a living allowance of $2,087 and an education award for $1,132 in

Luecke asks for bench trial

Summer Solstice food and wine tasting to be held in Princeton

PRINCETON — Ryan Luecke, the Peru man charged with having sexual contact with an 8-year-old boy in Bureau County, has waived his right to a jury trial and asked instead for a bench trial before the judge.

PRINCETON — The Princeton Chamber of Commerce invites the public to take a much needed “vacation” in Princeton on Friday as they kick off the first day of summer.

The trip will begin at the Princeton Chamber of Commerce office, where their “passport” and complimentary wine glass will be waiting.

Their trip will include food and wine tastings at many participating Chamber member businesses, as well as specials and savings. Transportation will be provided free of charge between both shopping districts.

The event will begin at 4 p.m. and wrap up at 8 p.m. For more information, contact the Princeton Chamber of Commerce office at 815-875-2616.

Officials reduce federal unemployment benefits

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON – Longterm unemployed individuals who collect weekly unemployment insurance benefits saw a 16.8 percent reduction in payments this week.

The Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) advised in a press release the reduction, which averages to be about a $51 weekly reduction, is a result of federal sequestration’s across-the-board budget cuts. About 80,000 Illinois residents collect federal unemployment compensation.

According to the press release, the reductions will end Sept. 30 at the end of the federal fiscal year. IDES Media Adviser Greg Rivara said the federal program ends in December, therefore it will only exist about two and one-half months after the end of this fiscal year before completely phasing out.

State benefits, which are funded through a payroll tax, will not change.

“State benefits represent the first 25 or 26 weeks of unemployment insurance compensation, depending upon when the claim was initiated,” stated the IDES press release.

“Federally funded Emer-

As far as the on-going radio system upgrade for the county, Warren said new repeaters have been installed in the squad cars and the portable radios for the jail have been delivered and are in the process of being programmed. The vehicle antennas are in the process of being installed and will then be programmed.

gency Unemployment Compensation benefits are paid after state benefits.”

The reduced unemployment benefits comply with the 10 percent automatic sequestration cuts the federal government put in place if a budget deal were not reached between Congress and President Barack Obama.

According to the IDES, unemployment rate identifies those who are out of work and seeking employment. The rate does not reflect individuals collecting unemployment insurance benefits. A person who exhausts benefits, or is ineligible, still will be reflected in the unemployment rate if they actively seek work.

As the federal program creeps closer to phasing out, Rivara suggested individuals collecting federal benefits should complete a skills assessment test and attempt to update their working skills.

“If someone has been out of work (long enough to collect federal unemployment benefits) and hasn’t updated their skills, they are not in a position to enter the work force,” he said.

According to Rivara, Illinois businesses are hiring and just on one Illinois job website there are nearly 130,000 help wanted job listings. He said individuals needs to focus on their current skills and finds ways to fill the gap with the type of skills employers are looking for.

Rivara said when people are applying for work, they have to remember two things to be successful in finding a job. The first, is to be able to explain to hiring manager why they want a specific job and not just tell managers they need the job. The second thing, is when applying for a job, use the same words that are in the help wanted ad to show how they can be a part in helping that company grow. Rivara said individuals should also be able to demonstrate what they know about the specific company they are applying for.

“Know the history of the company, understand the role they play in the community and that will make you stand out from everyone else,” he said.

Metro Center in Princeton. At that time, Luecke was the recreation coordinator for the Metro Center.

Luecke entered a not guilty plea on Dec. 18, 2012, to the Class 2 felony. He is free from custody, having posted 10 percent of a $25,000 bond.

If convicted of the Class 2 felony, Luecke could be sentenced to three to seven years in the Illinois Department of Corrections and fined up to $25,000. The Class 2 felony is also a probational offense, which could include up to six months in the Bureau County Jail.

Bitter ... better The following is a previously published column.

It was just a couple of weeks ago when a friend and I were having a long-distance conversation on the phone. I’m not sure which one of us brought up the topic of Father’s Day, especially since both of our fathers are deceased.

The two of us have a lot in common when it comes to our fathers because neither of us had a Dad who took an active role in our lives. While my father was far more absent than her father was, we both know the pain of living without a male parent. We both know what it was like to see our friends with their fathers Terri and listen to their stories of the roles Simon their fathers played in their lives. As adults now, we are able to talk about it openly. More important, we are now able to acknowledge how our fathers’ absence affected who we’ve grown up to be — good and bad.

It’s no secret how the absence of a father can cause many problems for children, teens, adults.

While the parental load is much lighter for children with just one active parent in their lives, the baggage can be considerably heavier. I’m sure there are statistics out there to prove that, but take my word for it ..., an AWOL father can cause some damage — mentally, psychologically, emotionally ...

As we continued to chat, something troubling occurred to me. It was obvious my friend still harbored a ton of resentment toward her then-absent, less-than-wonderful and now-deceased father. Her comments dripped of bitterness as she relayed incident after incident where her father had disappointed her. At one point, I even heard her voice crack as the pain from days gone by filled her heart.

She spent quite a few minutes telling me how her father’s actions (or lack of actions) had caused her to become a person who still lived with the effects of her deadbeat dad.

Perhaps that’s why we’re such good friends because I could clearly relate to her pain and bitterness, her hurt and troubled soul. Even though we both had other positive male role models in our lives, it didn’t take the place of the man we were supposed to call Dad. But while I understand her emotions, I believe I am different now. Sometime quite a few years ago, I came to the realization that I am not defined by the actions of an absent father. While I allowed him to make his absence my problem for many years, there came a time when I had to look at my own face in the mirror (ironically a face that looks like his) and give myself permission to go on without his baggage.

Even though he was majorly responsible, I had to quit blaming him for my own shortcomings. I had to stand on my own two feet and say, “OK, Terri. He didn’t give a damn about you, but now you have a choice. You can let that continue to destroy your life ... or you can move on.”

I chose to move on ...

Now when I think of my father, I have more pity than pain, more apathy than empathy. I no longer think of what he ruined; I think of what he missed.

The end result is that I am no longer bitter; I am better.

Years ago when I was consumed by a man who didn’t give a damn about me, I wish someone would have told me — maybe even given me permission to drop his baggage and never look back. I can’t get those years back, but I can tell a friend it’s OK to let it go ... to move on ... to stop looking back.

And so I did. After all, we are who we are — genetically linked but not emotionally attached, and it’s OK. I think I heard some relief in her voice after our chat. After all, sometimes letting go is the start of a journey we should have been on all along ...

To all the great dads out there ... You have my utmost respect.

And to those who can’t be bothered ... I hope my words will cause you to think about how your actions impact the child you brought into this life.

Keep your eye on the sparrow Little birds terrify me. They’re just so nervous and blinky all the time. They have to be plotting something.

The other day, I left the driver’s side window on my Jeep cracked open just a little bit so the interior wouldn’t seem quite so hot and stuffy at the end of the work day.

Boy, was that a mistake.

When I got in the vehicle, as I was getting ready to turn the key, I could hear a strange little scratching noise coming from the back of the Jeep. At first, I just thought something had shifted when I plopped down on the seat.

But I heard it again. I got this feeling that I was not alone.

Out of the corner of my left eye, I noticed the partially-cracked open driver’s side window. The blood drained from my face as soon as I realized that a bird had probably entered my four-wheeldrive sanctuary. Oh, the horror of it all.

I started to pay more attention to my surroundings. Evidently this frightful creature had been in the Jeep for a while. “How did I know this?” you may be asking yourself. I could tell by the amount of “material” that was covering the steering wheel, upholstery, window sills, floor mats, etc. … of my vehicle. The amount of “material” that is in the interior of a little bird’s stomach is really quite astounding. I mathematically can’t understand how a creature that can be measured in inches, can expel an amount of “material” that can be measured in square footage. I just don’t get it.

Without making any rapid movements, I reached for the door handle. I could feel his blinky eyes of death on the back of my neck.

Greg Wallace FROM THE SKETCHBOOK I could hear his razor-sharp talons scraping the interior of my hardtop. This savage demon definitely had the upper hand.

By the amount of “material” that I was looking at, it was hard to tell how large of a monster I was dealing with. A bead of sweat trailed down the side of my face as my hand landed on the door handle. Part of me wanted to just spin around in my seat and confront the beast face to face and physically throw it out the window. But this was no time for heroes.

Ever so slowly, I pulled the door latch back. Another bead of sweat formed and this time dripped off my nose. As the door inched open, I heard another scratch, but this time it sounded much more menacing. So I did what any grown man would do, I flung the door open, dove from my seat and rolled across the pebbly parking lot. I tasted freedom and it was good.

As I stood and brushed the dust from my Dockers, I kept eyeing the open-doored Jeep. Nothing had come out yet. This beast was crafty and persistent, two qualities that you don’t want in a mortal enemy.

Making my way toward the rear of the vehicle, I contemplated whether or not I should get the authorities involved, you know, like a game warden, a S.W.A.T. team or possibly SEAL Team 6.

But no, being a full-grown adult, I decided to confront this terror on my own.

I snuck to the back of the Jeep.

I swung open the back door like I

was ripping off a band-aid, quickly with a shrieking little girl scream.

I fully expected the brute to emerge from his lair. But it didn’t.

I waited, And I waited. And then I waited some more. I tapped on the window. I even resorted to taunting the beast by nervously chanting “Here birdy, birdy!”

Alas, nothing came out.

I was starting to think that maybe, just possibly, I had let my imagination get the better of me.

Maybe I hadn’t really heard that horrible scratching noise. Maybe all of the “material” had been there a while and I just hadn’t noticed it. It was possible.

I was chuckling at myself for being so skittish as I opened the back hatch to further diminish my fears. It was then that wingedfury hit me in the armpit! The feathered-devil had been in there the whole time just waiting for me to let my guard down!

As I spun away, yelling “I’ve been hit!”, that mean little sparrow just flitted away. I could hear his evil chirp echo through the spring breeze as I slumped on top of my bumper letting my heart get back into its normal rhythm. As quickly as the battle had begun, it was over.

I have since recovered and have not experienced any lasting trauma from the incident except for waking in a cold sweat in the middle of the night with an occasional parking lot flashback. It has been a long road to recovery.

And as I look back on that tragic day, I think it’s a wonder that somehow, my Dockers and I didn’t experience any of my own “material-handling” issues.

Memorial scholarship benefit set for June 22 in Bradford BRADFORD — The fourth annual Chief William T “Bill” Bauer Scholarship Benefit will be June 22 on Main Street in Bradford.

The event will start at 3 p.m. at the corner Park and Main. The benefit will include a hog roast meal from 3 to 7 p.m., kiddie games from 3 to 5:30 p.m., a Redneck Run starting at 3 p.m., an auction at 6 p.m. and musical entertainment starting at 7:30 p.m. Raffles will also be held throughout the day.

All proceeds go to help build the Chief William

T “Bill” Bauer Scholarship Fund.

Bauer was the chief of police in Wyoming, Ill., and Bradford when he was killed while on duty in a tragic car accident on Aug. 6, 2010. The scholarship fund was started by people of the surrounding communities to help selected residents of Stark, Marshall and Bureau counties who choose to further their education in law enforcement. With the help of the Community Foundation of Central Illinois, the scholarship has been a success. Two scholarships have been

given away so far.

Bauer was chief of police in Wyoming for seven years and acting chief of police in Bradford for his last year. He was committed to his communities in ways that went beyond his official role.

He was born and raised in Bradford and Buda and lived in the small communities surrounding the area his whole life. He spent his life serving and protecting everyone around him without prejudice.

And farmers in our state have helped shape the heritage of the entire nation by providing food, fuel and fiber as the United States grew from a colony into a world leader.

The importance of agriculture to Illinois and the nation will be celebrated in a new exhibition called “American Enterprise” at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History in Washington. D.C. The display will feature objects that represent innovations to build muse-

Sharon Covert COMMENTARY um visitors’ awareness of the many contributions farmers have made to this nation, such as biotechnology and environmental awareness. Just a few examples of items you’ll be able to see include Eli Whitney’s cotton gin, a 1920s Fordson tractor, Barbara McClintock’s microscope and Stanley Cohen’s recombinant-DNA research notebook.

The United Soybean Board (USB) recognized the importance of telling agriculture’s story and

decided to help sponsor the 8,000-squarefoot exhibition, which is scheduled to open in 2015.

“Despite the drop in the number of individuals involved in farming over the years, productivity has skyrocketed, and agriculture has evolved into a technology-driven profession in which the decisions made from the cab of a tractor are akin to those made in a CEO’s office,” said John Gray, director of the museum.

It’s important for Illinois farmers to tell our story and promote the importance of agriculture to our nation’s history and economy. No one knows how much agricul-

ture has evolved over the last 70 years better than America’s farmers.

I encourage farmers to visit the museum’s website, www.americanhistory.si.edu/agheritage, to help shape the exhibit and highlight the ways innovations and technology have helped to continually improve our industry. The museum is currently seeking stories, photographs and other agricultural memorabilia.

A few suggested themes for submissions include personal experiences, technology, biotechnology, finance, the environment, competition, safety, animals, water and labor.

Stories that are submit-

ted to the site will be used by the Smithsonian’s staff to help prepare the “American Enterprise” exhibitions and others, and could be featured on the museum’s blog and social media entities. Accepted submissions will be made available to the public on the Web. Whether you’re a sixthgeneration farmer or the first in your family to use a planter, you are helping shape our state and country. Your story is one that deserves to be told, and there’s no better time than now.

Cargill supports local food banks HENNEPIN – Recently, Cargill’s AgHorizons facilities in northern Illinois partnered with its customers, employees and other community members to raise funds for local food pantries and food banks in its fifth annual Feeding the Hungry campaign.

Together, the company, its customers, employees and area community members raised more than $44,000 to support Northern Illinois Food Bank, River Bend Food Reserve and

associated food pantries.

As a global food company, Cargill is committed to nourishing people around the world. For the fifth consecutive year, the Cargill AgHorizon’s facilities in Hennepin, Lacon, Spring Valley, Ottawa, Morris, Seneca, and Elwood enlisted support from its customers, employees and other residents to provide donations for this year’s campaign.

The money raised through the fourth annual Feeding the Hungry campaign will

contribute to more than 300,000 meals served to local residents. Statistics show that one in six people in the United States suffer from hunger.

“These food pantries and food banks serve several communities where our businesses are located, and where we live and work,” said Steve Heiden, regional manager for Cargill AgHorizons’ Northern Illinois River Farm Service Group. “We are proud to be able to bring dollars of our customers,

employees and residents to help feed even more people.

“We realize that the people served by area food pantries are often hard-working individuals, families and seniors, who currently cannot make ends meet,” added Heiden.

Cargill is focused on longterm systematic efforts to achieve global food security.

Food security exists when everyone has access to sufficient amounts of safe, nutritious and affordable food to provide the foundation

2013 BCR Track and Field Male Athlete of the Year

The last hurdle

2013 BCR Boys Track and Field Honor Roll Team

Lasting legacy, bright futures

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com’

Logan Hoffert had a season they will be talking about and looking back at for years to come in the track and field program at Bureau Valley High School.

The Storm senior qualified for the state finals in three events and medaled in each one of them.

He placed eighth in the triple jump, ninth in the 300 hurdles and took part in the first Bureau Valley relay team to medal at state as part of the Storm’s eighth-place 4x400 relay.

Those numbers all add up as being named as the 2013 BCR Male Athlete of the Year.

Of all the events he has competed in, the 300 hurdles is easily his favorite. He relishes the challenge of the event that is more than running against an opponent.

“It’s just not like straight running,” he said. “You have an obstacle in your way. People think it’s just hurdling. There’s so much form into it, so much technique that goes and so much work that goes into that people don’t know about it. I just love it, I guess.”

The 300s also proved to be his most frustrating at the state finals. While he was seeded ninth, he led the race for the first 200 meters before clipping the top of a hurdle and losing his balance. He settled for ninth with a time of 41.07, good enough to secure the final spot on the medal stand.

He had a run a personal best of 40.27 in the prelims, which duplicated would have landed him fourth in the finals.

“The 300 hurdle race did not end how he wanted it but he has been so great all year. It will sting for a bit but he will realize in the future that his performance at state was a remarkable one,” Bureau Valley coach Nick Hartz said.

While he initially was very disappointed in not finishing better in the 300 hurdles at State, Hoffert realized how blessed he is to have received three State medals this year and four in his career.

“It’s been an honor to run for Bureau Valley and to even go there.

I just hope I made everyone proud.”

Logan Hoffert

Hoffert

From Page 11 His single-season medal take has been matched only by Garrett Barnas (three in 2007) and the career tally bettered only by Barnas (5) and matched by Adam Weidner (2 in 2011, 2 in 2012) among Bureau Valley male athletes.

“Now I’ve realize even though I didn’t do great, it’s still a state medal and I should be proud of it,” he said. “I should feel blessed to bring home one state medal last year and this year I brought home three. Three medals is something to be very proud of and I can’t get down about it. And state as a whole was a complete success.”

As disappointing as the hurdles finals may have been, the triple jump proved to be a real blast. He came in seeded 11th and placed eighth with a hop, skip and a jump of 42-10 1/2.

“It was a complete surprise to be honest,” he said. “I’m surprised I got top 10 and it was a proud moment I got top 10.”

“I am sure if you asked him that he would think that just making

it into the triple jump finals was a great accomplishment but the fact that he got a medal made it so much sweeter,” Hartz said.

Hoffert also put his name in the record books by joining Ryan Taylor, Tucker Schoff and Daniel Trone as the Storm’s very first relay to qualify for the state finals in the 4x400. He ran the lead anchor for the Storm which turned in a time of 3:28.14.

“I couldn’t be happier with it,” he said. “We’re the first boys relay to medal in Bureau Valley history.

There’s been some amazing relays and we also broke the school record. It was an amazing day.

Those guys all worked so hard and put their heart into it and I’m really proud of them.”

Hartz said Hoffert was a great team leader, one who led by example.

“Logan was a huge influence on the team this year. He showed up every day ready to work and his work ethic brought him to the state meet,” Hartz said.

“Throughout the season, he battled against the area kids in both of his events and that always helps to bring out the best in you.

He came through for us when it really mattered and that is what will always stick with me. He is a great kid that will definitely be missed next season.”

A Bradford resident, Hoffert said he couldn’t have found a better place to call home the past four years than Bureau Valley. He called choosing Bureau Valley as “one of the best choices I’ve ever made in my life,” with Bradford kids also having the chance to attend Henry or Stark County.

He also said the Storm coaching staff were the right people to have in his corner.

“It’s been an honor to run for Bureau Valley and to even go there. I just hope I made everyone proud,” he said. “I wouldn’t be anywhere without coach Hartz.

In my mind, he’s one of the best coaches in the state. Coach Donner, coach DeVenney and coach Gustafson are all great coaches.”

He will compete in track and field at Concordia College, a Division III school in Chicago which awarded him academic scholarships.

Jeff Monroe submitted these photos of the Princeton Amateur Rocket Society. The club was founded in 1961 by three PHS freshmen. They learned everything from trial and error and built all their rockets from scratch. The group sent a deposit to test a large metal rocket at a rocketeers convention near Indianapolis but later found out the organizer had run off with the money. So after two years the club came to an end. The members were John Hoebel, John Morrison and Jeff Monroe. All three men went to the University of Illinois. “No parent interfered, no neighbor complained of the smoke and noise, no police investigated our buying of explosive materials. Those were good times.”
