Food assistance for flood victims

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Bureau County residents may be able to get food assistance due to the hardships caused by the heavy rains and flooding earlier this spring.

On Monday, Gov. Pat Quinn announced the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) will offer immediate food assistance for the 33 counties impacted by April flooding.

Bureau County is one of those 33 counties.

Quinn said the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Services has authorized IDHS offices to offer special Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to residents in those counties declared federal disaster areas as a result of flooding in April.

“I have taken every step necessary to ensure that families across the state have the resources they need to recover from these historic floods,” Quinn said. “We have gained federal aid for individuals, businesses and governments, but we must also ensure our residents are getting life’s daily necessities, including access to food. This assistance will provide all those affected by the flooding with extra benefits to buy groceries and take care of their families.”

People must apply in person at their designated Disaster SNAP office for their county of residence and complete a paper application, Quinn said.

Locally, the Family Community Resource Center for Bureau County is located at 225 Backbone Road East, No. 2, Princeton and has an 815-875-1134 telephone number.

BV changes student fees Cernovich: One fundraiser called property taxes

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS – Families with more than two students at Bureau Valley will get a little break next school year with student fees.

With a recommendation from the Bureau Valley Finance Committee, the board on Monday approved to place a cap on the $100 book and registration fee required per student.

The cap will be placed on fees greater than $200.

“So if a family registers four students, they wouldn’t pay $100 for each of the four children. (Families) will get X amount for $200,” board member Kent Siltman said.

Board President Rick Cernovich spoke out against student fees and fundraising, as he pointed out the district has one big fundraiser called “property taxes.

“I think it’s our mission to live within that money provided for us,” he said. “I believe it’s our obligation to provide a free public education.”

Cernovich said he was happy to see a cap put on fees, but highlighted the loss of funds the district’s budget would face.

“I just don’t see more bang for the buck there,” he said.

Along with the cap on registration fees, the board approved to place a $1 fee on alternative lunches, which will be offered to students who aren’t able to pay for a

Mom and daughter take nothing for granted 11-year-old Makanna Sabin talks about winning her battle with cancer

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

WALNUT – Makanna Sabin, 11, of Walnut was diagnosed with cancer when she was just 8 years old.

When doctors discovered the grapefruit-size tumor on her liver, she was sent to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Peoria where she underwent surgery and received six cycles of chemotherapy.

Although faced with an unforeseen experience at such a young age, Sabin took on the battle and was able to beat her illness.

She and her mother, Kay Broers, consider themselves lucky.

“We were lucky to deal with it for only six months, when there’s some people who deal with it for years,” Broers said. “It was a rough six months, but we

got through it.”

Sabin continues to be cancer free today and is able to recount the memorable moments made during her illness. Some of her favorites are when she learned to give shots in her stomach, gained the silly nickname “troublemaker” from her doctor, and of course, when she got to shave her own head.

While going bald may sound terrifying for some 8-year-old girls, Sabin saw the positive side of sporting no hair.

“It was kind of fun being bald,” she said. “I’m not the type of girl who likes brushing their hair, so it was kind of good I didn’t have to do it.”

Sabin refused to wear a wig during chemotherapy and even showed off her bald head during a photo shoot for a St. Jude’s Hospital calendar.

Makanna Sabin, 11, shows off her pony, Shamrock, at her home in Walnut. After Sabin spent six months battling cancer at age 8, her mom, Kay Broers, bought her a pony, which was something Sabin had always wanted to care for and learn to ride. At top, Sabin shows off some jumps she’s been working on for horse show competitions, which she attends on weekends throughout spring and summer.

“She had a good attitude, and that’s what got us through it,” Broers admitted.

The toughest part about cancer, according to Sabin, was not being able to go places, play outside, visit the swimming pool and run around in the barnyard.

“It almost killed me,” she said.

The one thing that kept her spirits up was the talk about getting a pony once she had completed chemo treatments. Growing up on her grandparents’ farm gave her the appreciation of country life and the love of horses.

“I like brushing them and just going out to see them, and that smell ... if you gave me a choice to either smell like a horse or smell clean, I’d pick a horse because I love that smell,” she said. “It smells so good.”

Shortly after she was back on her feet and was able to go outside, play with the cows and wrestle with her cousins, she and her mom found Shamrock – the perfect pony for the family.

Today, Sabin spends a lot of her time practicing riding and jumping with her pony and travels on the weekends to horse shows.

“Mom is my teacher.

She’s still teaching me how to jump, and she’s teaching me new things everyday,” she said.

Although the rough times seem to be in the past for Sabin and Broers, they take nothing for granted and continue to support St. Jude Children’s Hospital at any given chance.

“We try to do things when we can to help because it was an amazing place,” Broers said.

“When you walk in the doors and they know you’re there for treatment, you see nurses with smiles on their faces even after dealing with all that they deal with, and that just makes a big difference.”

Park board reviews projects, expected tax money

By Donna Barker

By Barb Kromphardt

bkromphardt@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton Park Board is closing its fiscal year with some extra projects completed, thanks to the careful handling of the district’s money.

At Monday’s park board meeting, Elaine Russell, executive director, reviewed some of the additional projects which the district was able to complete this fiscal year, thanks to what Russell called the fiscal responsibility of the board and staff. The completed projects and maintenance work for the current fiscal year were needed to operate the park district effectively, she said.

Some of those projects included buying a new tractor and mower for $39,996; the purchase of exercise equipment, $13,743; repairing the gym wall, $7,600; buying a new Metro Center pool heater, $15,000; and sealing the cracks on the Zearing Park walk path, $31,800; as well as some lighting upgrade projects, Russell said.

In looking at a comparison with last year’s financial statement at this time, Russell said the park district had cash in the bank totalling $1,100,650 in May 2012. This year, the park district ended the month of May with $1,049,907, which showed an increase in spending of $50,742 for those projects. With the more than $108,000 spent in expenditures this fiscal year, the park district is still holding firm to a positive cash flow, she said.

“This is fantastic that we have been able to do this,” Russell said. “None

PERU – After Billie Schmitz’s son, Cole Williams, was deployed to Afghanistan, she was overwhelmed with friends and acquaintances asking her what they could do to help.

“What is there honestly to do?” she said.

“Well, this is something.”

The “something” is called Walk to Afghanistan, and a local walk will take place at 9 a.m.

Saturday at Baker Lake in Peru. Friends, family and simple supporters of the servicemen and women serving overseas are asked to come and simply walk.

Peru’s walk is not the only one. The Walk to Afghanistan is a nationwide program, began by Amy Henderson, a colonel’s wife in Washington State in February.

Schmitz said Henderson started the project as a friendly competition between each company within the 864th Engineer Battalion. People around the country walk, bike or swim for

There will be a walk to support all the soldiers beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday at Baker’s Lake in Peru. the project, and report their miles to the “Walk to Afghanistan” Facebook page, or to a local family readiness group leader.

Schmitz has been collecting and reporting local miles for awhile, but she was inspired to take additional action when she saw her son’s group, the 557th Engineering Co., was losing the competition.

“I said, ‘I’m not trying hard enough,’” Schmitz said.

So she started asking more and more people to walk or run for the soldiers, and when she

got up to 30 to 40, she planned Saturday’s walk.

There is no charge to participate in the walk.

Walkers are encouraged to bring signs to show support for the troops.

Walkers will also be able to buy a chance to win various prizes with the money gathered saved to send support boxes to the soldiers.

Schmitz said the walk isn’t about money, but simply to support the troops.

“It’s to say, ‘Hey, we’re here, and we’re thinking about you,’” she said.

Pictures of Saturday’s walk will be posted

online for the troops to see.

The “Walk to Afghanistan” group was founded in the beginning of February, the same time the battalion deployed to Afghanistan. As of now, the “Walk to Afghanistan” has logged a total number of 55,618.57 miles. Miles will be collected until the end of October.

Williams is formerly of Sheffield and Peru and a 2011 graduate of LaSalle-Peru Township High School.

Gearing up for the Fourth of July Walnut adds two officers

By Nita Wyatt news@bcrnews.com

WALNUT — It won’t be long before Walnut’s annual Fourth of July celebration rolls around, and the Walnut Village Board is planning ahead to keep area residents safe.

At the Walnut Village Board meeting this week, the Walnut Police Department has requested the addition of two additional people for assistance during the upcoming Fourth of July celebration.

These two additional hires would work approximately 20 hours each during the celebration. Their assistance

will be used for set up of barricades, yellow caution tape and miscellaneous duties. There will be three regular officers on duty during the evening hours and during the parade.

The board approved the hiring of these two temporary additions to the police staff.

The Walnut Budget Committee met earlier in June and presented its appropriations to the board for the next fiscal year. These appropriations were approved at the board’s meeting this week.

The North Central Illinois Council of Governments has sent its annual request for the village to be a member of their organization. It was suggested the request for membership in this orga-

nization be tabled for the next board meeting, and at that time, there will be additional discussion regarding this membership.

Also discussed at the meeting was the possible need for an addition to the cemetery ordinances. This addition would pertain to the use of a vault in the burying process. This provision is currently not in the ordinance book. The board will review the need for such an ordinance and discuss at a future board meeting.

The Streets and Alleys Committee reported bids are being sought to reclaim Walnut Street by the former high school building location. These bids will be available by the next board meeting.

The grinding and repair

of the village alleys was also discussed. New bids will be obtained for the alley project, and it is anticipated this project will be completed Spring 2014.

A public meeting will be planned by the Local Improvement Committee. This meeting will be scheduled in the near future and will provide an opportunity for village residents to voice their ideas to improve their community. This committee is in the process of preparing a proposal to be presented to the board for the establishment of a website for the town. This proposal will include the scope of the website and also the initial cost and maintenance cost for the site.

Meeting cancelled PRINCETON — The regular meeting of the Princeton Park District scheduled for 4:30 p.m.

July 1 has been cancelled.

The Princeton Park District Board of Direc-

tors voted to cancel the first meeting of the month for July and August.

For more information, call Elaine Russell, executive director, at 815872-0840.

Assistance From Page 1 Applications will be accepted at the local office through Friday. Hours for the application process are 7:30 to 4 p.m. today, Thursday, and from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday. Appointments are not needed.

To qualify for Disaster SNAP assistance, persons must have had damage to their home or business, paid disaster-related expenses that were not reimbursed, or have a loss or reduction of income as a result of the disaster during the period of April 16 and May 15.

of this would have been completed had the board and staff not taken drastic action over the past three years to re-evaluate our spending and make decisions based on needs and not wants. We should be proud of what has been accomplished.”

Looking at tax revenue for the district, Russell said the park district has currently levied a total of $509,900 in taxes, but the district will only receive $483,294, which is $26,606 less than what was levied by the park district. Last year, the district lost about $40,000 in taxes due to a portion of Perry Memorial Hospital going off the tax rolls. Just because the park district levies for a certain amount of taxes each year, that’s not necessarily what the park district will receive.

These continuing reductions in taxes are reducing the park district’s revenue sources by thousands each year, Russell said.

In an interview prior to Monday’s meeting, Russell looked ahead to the coming fiscal year.

“We cannot take our eyes off of our target for the 2013-14 budget year,” Russell said. “We have already made one huge decision which will have us repairing the Metro Center parking lot over the next two fiscal years.

Half of the work will be done in the 2013-14 budget finishing in the 201415 budget. Those are the hard decisions but ones that keep our stress levels down knowing we are being fiscally responsible. “ Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com. the April 16-May 15 time period.

No info being shared on Crundwell loans Shipman said he is cooperating with federal authorities

By Derek Barichello Shaw Media Service

DIXON – Fire Chief Tim Shipman said Monday he still is waiting to hear back from the U.S. Attorney’s Office regarding a personal loan he received from former comptroller Rita Crundwell.

Shipman was given a notice to appear before the U.S. Attorney’s Office last week in regard to the recovery of assets in the Crundwell case; he said he cooperated but did not have to attend personally.

Documents seized from City Hall after Crundwell’s arrest included personal loan agreements that Crundwell had with Shipman and his wife, Diane, and with former city engineer Shawn Ortgiesen and his wife, Angela.

The amounts and terms were not disclosed on those documents or in the notice to Shipman or Ortgiesen.

There are no new public records or information to share at this time, said Randall Samborn, public

information officer for the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

“It’s still a pending matter,” he said Monday. “I can’t give you a timetable on if, or when, more information will be available.”

When the former comptroller was sentenced in February for wire fraud, a court order said of the loans only that Crundwell is to “assign two notes payable in her favor from two Dixon administrators who borrowed money from her.”

The “citation to discover assets,” which can bring about a judgment for money owed, asked Shipman to bring his bank statements dating back three years, his state and federal income tax returns, applications for loans and any promissory notes, among other items.

Shipman said he wants to cooperate fully with authorities.

Ortgiesen did not return a phone call Monday.

Will you ‘Do Lunch?’

By Barb Kromphardt bkromphardt@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY – Food pantries were originally intended to fill the gap when households were out of food and resources due to an emergency.

“Emergency situations are now less than half of our client load,” said Jan Martin, director of Project Success which operates the Hall Township Food Pantry.

“We are serving more working poor households whose income does not stretch to cover food expenses, seasonally employed households, older adults living on fixed incomes, as well as households who are temporarily homeless.”

Martin said long-term unemployment, and more frequently, underemployment continue to force people with jobs to seek food assistance.

“More often than not, at least one person in every household we serve has someone currently unemployed,” she said.

Martin said summer is particularly hard on families; with children out of school, it’s tough to feed everyone without the benefit of school breakfast and lunch programs.

The Hall Township Food Pantry is seeking donations that can provide children with nutrition without requiring them to cook

“More often than not, at least one person in every household we serve has someone currently unemployed.”

Jan Martin meals and possibly injure themselves in the process.

“Because bread spoils so quickly, we suggest donating packages of flour tortillas so children could make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches,” Martin said.

Also on the list are saltine crackers, graham crackers, Ritz crackers, pudding cups, fruit cups, fruit, milk, unfrosted pop tarts, juice boxes, granola bars and cereals of all sorts. Lunch meats, cheese and fresh veggies are also appreciated.

“Basically, pack a lunch for a child!” Martin said.

“Even if you haven’t packed a lunch for years, it is something one never forgets.”

The food pantry has plenty of refrigerator and freezer space and is open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily for donation drop off.

Summertime goals Summer 2013 starts tomorrow! Shoot!

My first thought is I should have worked harder on my “beach body;” my second thought consists of several goals I should try and accomplish this season.

As a 25 year old, I still like to think summer is this endless season filled with lots of discovering, changing and dreams of “anything can happen.”

In reality, however, my last couple summers have been anything but a dreamland.

More like work, complaining it’s too hot, more work, thoughts of COMMENTARY cutting off my hair because it’s hot and I’m bored; then it’s back-to-school time and “hello” Labor Day. The last couple Septembers, I’ve sat disappointed with uneven tan lines from my work clothes and have asked myself why I didn’t go here and there or do this and that like I had wanted to do? I’ll admit, my last couple rounds of summertime dreams have been either wasted or unfulfilled.

This year, I’m coming to terms with my pattern and making a list of things I have to accomplish to make my summer feel worth it. Summer 2013 is the summer I make time for myself and not watch time fly by.

A few items topping my to-do list follow: 1. Read five novels: When I graduated college a few years back, I felt excited to be able to dive into my bookshelves and read away the books I had collected during my college years. Sad to say, but I haven’t dove very deep in that stack. I like to blame my work schedule a lot, but this summer can mark a new start for me as I plan to get back to books and read at least five titles (I have to start somewhere).

2. Dust off my bike and hit the trails: If I didn’t have a career that required me to have a car everyday, most likely you’d see me on my bike more often. Unfortunately, this isn’t so, and my bike sits in a corner collecting spiderwebs. This summer I’d like to make it habit to get my bike out and wear it out a little bit. I could use the exercise, fresh air and confidence that I can get somewhere with out a vehicle.

3. Explore the state: This summer marks three years I’ve been an Illinois resident. I have to give myself credit that I’ve learned more about Bureau County than some lifelong residents, however, I know very little about what surrounds the county borders. I plan to do a little exploring on the scenic byway, I want to see the capital building, view Chicago from the sky deck and see what all the talk is about with Galena’s downtown shopping district.

4. Visit my grandparents: Although it’s tough to say, I recognize my days and visits with the good ole g-parents are limited these days, therefore, I have to take advantage of all the opportunities I have left.

This summer, I’m throwing out the excuses, jumping in the car and making the trip back to Michigan for a weekend visit.

5. Wear more sunscreen: Yeah, it’s stupid to make this a goal, but honestly I rarely make it point to apply the “lifesaving” cream. Maybe it’s because I’m getting older or maybe it’s because stories of skin cancer follow us everywhere we go these days, but it’s time to get serious and protect myself from the rays. I’ve taken the first step and purchased a bottle, now it’s time to follow through and avoid my annual lobster sunburn.

So there’s my list. Have you made one.

Before we know it, summer will be just a memory.

Don’t let it slip away ...

Goldie Currie

Jennifer Caldwell City you live in: Princeton.

Where did you grow up: Kasbeer.

Family: I have a large extended family, many of whom live in the Bureau County area.

Pets: I have a dog named Zack and a tarantula named Charlotte.

Occupation: 4-H Youth Development Program Coordinator, University of Illinois Extension.

What is the last song you listened to: Either “Remember The Name” or “Kenji” by Fort Minor.

What is the last book you read: “Son” by Lois Lowry. I enjoyed reading “The Giver” in junior high, so when the conclusion to the series was recently published, I had to check it out.

First Person What is the last TV show you watched: “Castle.”

If you were stranded on a desert island and could have just one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be: The flatbread and pizza my dad cooks on the grill.

If you were stranded on a desert island and could only take one thing with you, what would it be: I am pretty sure my dog would find some way to follow me to the island. If I could airlift my entire vegetable garden to the island, I would.

What is your favorite local res-

taurant: There are too many to choose just one.

If someone handed you a million dollars, how would you spend it: I would pay off my car loan, do some traveling, give some to family and some to charity, and save the rest for retirement.

People would be surprised to know that you: Spent a semester of college in New Zealand and studied the Maori language in addition to my biology classes. I can still recite my mihimihi (introductory speech given at a gathering) and sing the Maori and English verses of the New Zealand National Anthem.

What is your favorite thing about the city you live in: Being close to so many places to observe and enjoy nature.

If you could change one thing about your town, what would it be: I would like to see more activities and opportunities for young adults.

From Harvard to home The ‘Penny Picker-Upper’ “Wait, I’m keeping those!” I called across the room to a fellow dorm crew worker as he swept up a pile of long abandoned pocket change, along with a broken pen, a no longer gummy worm, and an extended family of dust bunnies.

“They’re just pennies,” he replied.

From that day on, I became know as the “Penny PickerUpper.”

My last final exam ended at noon on May 17, marking the halfway point in my undergraduate career here at Harvard. Wait, what? How did that happen? It feels like yesterday I was sitting down to write my first article, elated and eager to fly to campus and begin my journey. Now, I’m reflecting upon the last two years and looking ahead toward the next two. The imposing “real world” seems consistently more tangible.

After my finals were over, I had planned to stay on campus to work during commencement (and see Oprah Winfrey, our commencement speaker who was receiving an honorary degree).

After three weeks of vacuum-

Haley Adams COMMENTARY ing, scrubbing toilets and making more than a few gin and tonics for alumni at their reunions, I was ready to come home. Detasseling had always seemed like the worst job possible, but after cleaning the Senior House bathrooms, I re-evaluated that opinion. Did I mention it was entirely inhabited by football players? I’ll leave it at that.

Since landing at O’Hare last Friday, I have enjoyed my week off in Princeton, trying to soak in comforts of home before returning to Harvard for my job and a forensic science course this summer.

Though enjoyable, this week has been a whirlwind. Between meeting friends for coffee and Myrtle’s pie, date nights and family campfires, I tried to cram in as much as possible, while also taking time to sleep, run and catch up on “Grey’s Anatomy” — you know, the important things in life.

While some of these things seem insignificant, I realized that nearly

any life story can be explained as the sum of individual experiences.

Some seem trivial, the pennies of the bunch, while some stand out like shiny silver quarters. Yet they all still contribute to the end sum, a lifetime of memories, or in the case of my floor change, $22.07.

In my opinion, my dorm crew partner was wrong; those copper coins are much more than “just pennies.” Being home is more than cornfields and Mom’s lasagna, but each memory I associate with home has a special place in my life. By appreciating the value of small things and recognizing the power of patience, it’s easy to find joy in everyday happenings. Thank you to my family and friends who truly make the Midwest a place I will always call home.

And just a side note: All the pennies I collected, aided by a few quarters and dimes, were used to treat a few friends to ice cream at the end of the week. Not a bad trade, I’d say.

Young looking to unite Illinois Valley soccer

2013 BCR Softball Player of the Year

An ace in the hole

By Kevin Hieronymus

khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Ed Young has been coaching girls soccer at Princeton High School for 13 seasons. He would like to make the Illinois Valley united as one.

Young is looking to form the Illinois Valley United Soccer Club. He said it would be a move to his benefit his program and all those around the Illinois Valley, “We want to unify the efforts to enrich soccer in our area,” he said. “We believe providing an opportunity to experience variable coaching styles, strategies and training sessions that players will enhance their understanding of the game. We also believe by creating a greater competitive environment the player will be motivated to reach their potential.

“By uniting our communities, we hope to provide the opportunity to play and train year around fostering team and individual growth.”

While he understands a travel team is major commitment financially and time wise, he is “initiating a careful start and plan on taking gradual steps into full participation in leagues and tournaments.”

The first step is to invite all area soccer players to attend the IV Soccer Camp from July 9-12 at Zearing Park in Princeton. At the time, he said training will be provided and evaluations conducted to construct travel teams.

He would like to develop a 19 and under team and an 14 and under team.

“We want to challenge you to step outside your comfort zone and reach beyond your expectations,” he said.

Players do not have to be interested in travel to participate in the camp, Young said. The grade 6-8 session will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. with grades 9-12 meeting from 7 to 9 p.m. Cost is $30 with applications due by July 2.

For more information, contact coach Ed Young at 815-876-6408.

Two perfect games.

A no-hitter with one out to go in 6-0 sectional semifinal win.

Nineteen strikeouts in 10 innings in sectional championship victory.

Twenty three strikeouts in 9.2 innings against Putnam County.

Leading your team to the State Tournament for the first time in school history.

Those are all the makings of a Player of a Year.

And St. Bede senior ace Lainie Schweickert had them all in 2013.

She had one of the best seasons ever by any Bureau County pitcher.

“Lainie has been a fouryear varsity player and a pleasure to be around,” second-year St. Bede coach Bill Prokup said.

“She always hustles, was a good leader, and had a smile on her face most of her time. She really enjoys the game and her energy was contagious within the team. She is one of the toughest competitors on our team and is always poised on the mound.”

Schweickert started pitching at 8 years old.

She said her dad, Jerry, got her into softball and “I really enjoyed it.” She gained a competitive spirit at a young age trying to keep up with some of her more talented ASA teammates on the Starved Rock Bandits like Brittany Zawacki and Brianna Zeman of L-P. “Some of my other friends are pitchers and it gave me the strive to go after it, too,” she said.

“They pushed me along

The Lainie Schweickert File

• 2 perfect games • 19-4 record, 0.67 ERA • 266 strikeouts in 157.2 innings • 23 strikeout game in 9.2 innings • 19 strikeouts in 10 innings in sectional finals • 717 career strikeouts • Chosen to play in Super 60 All-Star Game

because there were two other pitchers on my team in ASA and they were always a step ahead of me and it always pushed me to get better than them.”

“Through hard work and the support of her family and pitching coach, she has to be considered the best we have ever had at St. Bede,” Prokup said. “I have seen her mature as a pitcher starting when she was 9 years old on our ASA team. She was the third pitcher behind Brianna Zeman and Brittany Zawacki. She wasn’t going to get many innings with that type of talent so she went to another program to get her innings. It turned out pretty good for her.”

That moved took Schweickert to the Bureau County Blaze and then on to the Academy. The rest is history, which she helped make at St. Bede this season, Schweickert is wellarmed inside the circle with a variety of pitches including a fastball, change-up, riseball and curveball. This past off-

Himes lands state championship with Mount Carmel Mike Himes grew up on the ball diamonds of Princeton learning the game of baseball and dreaming big.

Earlier this month, some of those dreams were realized.

Himes, a 1998 graduate of Princeton High School, took part on Chicago Mount Carmel High School’s 4A state championship run as an assistant coach. The Caravan shut out Neuqua Valley 8-0 in the State semifinals and then edged Libertyville 2-1 to claim the state championship.

“We’re still on cloud 9 because it is the first state (baseball) championship at

Mount Carmel,” said Himes, who has been on the Caravan staff for eight years. “The feeling hasn’t sunk in with any of the coaching staff. You cause this for so long, put so many man-hours into it and so much time into it and it just happens so quickly, that whole run from the sectional games onto the state championship it only last a week, but going

back and talking about and thinking about all the practices and scouting the games, it felt like it was a month long. In some regards, it felt like it was a month, but the moments just fly by.”

The baseball title is the 22nd state championship in school history for Mount Carmel, a parochial school best known for football. It comes on the heels of the Caravan’s 8A state crown in football last fall.

“It was pretty special to replicate the football team’s state championship. It’s only the third time in school history for multiple state championships in the same year,” Himes said.

“And Mount Carmel of our nine starters will has a name for being an play Division I baseball. athletic school, more so That includes four of of a football school, so them are sophomores, now that we can throw so we’re looking to repliour hat into the ring for cate the success the next having a state champicouple of years while onship it makes it real these guys are still in the special.” building,” said Himes, Mike Himes Himes said five of the who is director of techCaravan players also nology and integrated received state championship media at Mount Carmel and rings for being on the football was recently named the head teams.

From Page 11 season, she added a screwball to her repertoire under the tutelage of her pitching coach, Jessica Finch. It was simply unfair to the batters who had to wonder what was coming next.

“It was the easiest to pick up.

I just learned this year, picked up first two lessons I went to,” Schweickert said. “They weren’t expecting it. I think I caught them off guard. That’s my outpitch now.”

It proved to be quite the out pitch. She struck out 266 batters over 157.2 innings (1.5 per inning) while allowing just 46 walks and 55 hits this season. She fashioned a 0.67 ERA which has been topped only once in the past decade by Bureau County hurlers.

Prokup said it must have been tough having such a large target on her back “but she never backed down, never made an excuse and always wanted the ball. …. She has command of five pitches and great movement on the ball.”

Her batterymate, Lady Bruin senior catcher Lydia Stariha said it was fun to catch Schweickert. While Stariha called most of the pitches, she said Schweickert could call them off if she wanted.

“She’s a fantastic pitcher,” Stariha said. “She is very good hitting her spots and has so

many pitches she kept batters on her toes.”

Schweickert’s win and strikeout totals increased each season at the Academy. Her strikeout column went 61, 165 and 225 before this year’s 266 whiffs brought her career tally to 717.

In the win column, Schweickert went from 8, 12, 16 and 19 for a career win-loss record of 55-21.

The best part of pitching, Schweickert said, is “being in control of the game, going at my own speed and taking charge, I guess.”

She relishes the challenge of ever pitch she has with each batter, even though they might be some of her friends on the other area teams.

“I always want to beat the batter, obviously,” she said after pitching the Lady Bruins to a 9-2 regional title win over Mendota.

“I’ve got some friends on the other team, like Ashlynn Kennedy and Brooke Carroll, I’ve played with them, it’s challenging to go against them and makes me want to do better and get them out.”

An all-around player, batting .337 and sharing the team lead in RBIs (25) with newcomer Emmi Christensen, Schweickert said it helps her pitching to think like the batter.

“You think ahead of them, what they might throw you and just be ready for everything.”

It was a formula that added up to the Academy’s first state tournament run.

“This team knew that Lainie was going to keep them in every game and they worked hard to support her. If we didn’t, we felt we let her down,” Prokup said. “She should take great pride in the fact her team had so much confidence in her. I am sure Lewis University players will feel the same way for the next four years.”

From Page 11 1.65. As a result, a school of 750 turns into an enrollment of 3,000, according to the IHSA. Himes credits head coach Brian Hurry for turning the Caravan baseball program into a state power. They had not won a sectional game prior to his arrival in 2000 and now have won three state trophies since taking a runner-up finish in 2005.

To get to the top, the Caravan had to beat some playoff nemesis along the way.

At sectional, Mount Carmel rallied to beat LaGrange Lyons 5-3, defeating the same Lyons pitcher that beat them in the State semifinals and again in last year’s sectional finals.

In the sectional finals, the Caravan beat their Chicago Catholic Conference arch-rival Chicago St. Rita 5-4, a team Himes said they’ve had monumental battles with in conference and postseason play.

Then the Caravan tackled Lockport 2-1, the same time which had beat Mount Carmel 8-4 for the 2005 state championship.

“The run was pretty surreal, because it seemed we slayed every dragon that we had. We started to realize the planets are lining.

We’re beating all of our

playoff nemeses,” Himes said.

Perhaps a close second to winning that state championship would have been a potential State semifinal matchup against Himes’ brother, Drew (PHS 2002), an assistant coach for Downers Grove North.

The brothers came two games away for meeting in the state semifinals with DGN getting knocked out in the sectional championship.

“If they’d won the sectional championship, we’d been one game away from playing. And then my parents would have had a big decision to make,” said Himes.

Mike is looking forward to that meeting some time because he has a score to settle with his little brother. Drew, a former farmhand for the Houston Astros, was the pitching coach for Glenbard North two years ago when it beat the Caravan.

“We had some friendly wagers going on; I think dinner was involved,” Himes said. “He ended up getting us. So he owns the series, 1-0, but I’ve got him on state championships.

One of these days we’ll end up on the same side, but until then we’ll definitely have a rivalry going.”

Sprint Cup Race: Toyota-SaveMart 350 Where: Sonoma Raceway When: Sunday, 2 p.m. (ET) TV: TNT 2012 Winner: Clint Bowyer

Biffle dominates Quicken Loans 400 to score 1,000th NASCAR win for Ford Motor Co. Greg Biffle scored a dominating win in the Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway to secure a milestone 1,000th NASCAR victory for Ford Motor Company.

Biffle, who led a racehigh 48 laps, including the final 32, seemed as happy for Ford as he was for himself.

“I am just superexcited for Ford,” he said, adding that he and his fellow Blue Oval drivers spent the past week visiting Ford facilities, checking out cars from the past as well as previewing passenger cars of the future.

“It’s really exciting to see all that and all the racing heritage, and to be able to be a part of that with the 1,000th win,” he said. “I think I contributed over 50 of those, which is a small number compared to 1,000, but still sure excited to be the number 1,000.”

Biffle has 55 major NASCAR victories between the Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series. He has 19 Cup wins, 20 in Nationwide and 16 in the Truck Series.

His car owner, Jack Roush, now operating as Roush Fenway Rac-

ing, has about a third of Ford’s victories, with 313 wins, including 131 in Cup, 132 in Nationwide and 50 in Trucks.

The Wood Brothers are next, with 98.

Ford’s first win came in the first-ever race of the series now known as Sprint Cup. After apparent winner Glenn Dunaway’s Ford was disqualified for modifications to the rear springs, Jim Roper, driving a Lincoln, was awarded the win.

Lincoln drivers contributed three more victories, and another Ford Ford Racing nameplate, Mercury, had Ford Motor Co. celebrates its 1,000th win in NASCAR 96.

Wind Power Electric to close Longtime Princeton business dates back to 1920s

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — A longtime Princeton business dating back to the 1920s will close its doors at the end of the month Frank Bouxsein, current owner of Wind Power Electric, plans to close the doors to the business by the end of June.

“I have been doing this for 31 years,” explained Bouxsein, the son of the Francis and Alfreda Bouxsein, who took over ownership of Wind Power Electric in 1947. “It is the time in my life where I want to do something different.”

Bouxsein wants to visit his sons living in New Mexico and Colorado. He also has a grandchild in New Mexico. He wants to do some traveling, which is pretty difficult running a small business like Wind Power Electric.

“I appreciate the loyalty of our customers over the years,” he said. “We have been in business for 66 years and have had some long-time, loyal customers in the appliance business started by my folks, who always appreciated their customers.”

Wind Power Electric has its roots back to the 1920s when the business serviced wind-powered generators for farmers. Those windmills had a 32-volt DC system, so farmers needed 32-volt DC lights and fans.

When the REA started putting up electric lines, that was the end of the wind generated power business, so the owners started to sell appliances.

After World War II, appliances and refrigerators were on an allocation basis and couldn’t be made fast enough.

“It was a tough time for my parents, but they persevered,” Frank said.

“I have always loved this business and loved solving people’s problems. It has been a good family business.”

Frank Bouxsein The first store was at 512 S. Main, and it was moved to 621 S. Main St. in 1989.

In 2006, Frank Bouxsein moved Wind Power Electric back to 512 S. Main.

Bouxsein said it is sad that there is no old literature, signs or posters around from the earlier days of Wind Power Electric.

“They must have purged everything when they got rid of it,” he said.

Bouxsein plans to spend some of his retirement free BCR photo/Lyle Ganther time on collecting parts of some old gasoline-powered Frank Bouxsein displays an electric-powered wringer washer and a mangle iron, both made by Maytag. The Maytag wringers he has owner of Wind Power Electric in Princeton will close the doors of the family-owned business at the end of June. found and get them organized to possibly sell on the Internet.

He worked for GE for nine years after graduating from college before coming back in 1982 to help run Wind Power Electric.

“I have always loved this business and loved solving people’s problems,” he added. “It has been a good family business.”

Bouxsein plans on selling the current store’s remaining inventory on Saturdays after the store closes the end of June — if it isn’t already gone by then.

Bouxsein has sold the appliance repair division to Brian Emmerson, his chief technician. It will be called Wind Power Electric Appliance Repair, and Emmerson will maintain the business’ phone number of 815872-2931. Emmerson’s cell phone number is 815-5039956.

“I can’t say enough about the excellent care I received during my stay at Colonial HealthCare and Rehabilitation Centre. The staff made me feel so comfortable.

The therapy was very effective.

The food is very good and they take care of my special requests.

They have done so much for me.

Sauk Valley partners with Saint Anthony for nursing program

By Kayla Heimerman Shaw Media Service

DIXON – Local nurses next fall will have a convenient way to continue their education.

Sauk Valley Community College has partnered with Saint Anthony College of Nursing in Rockford to offer associate-degree-trained nurses the opportunity to earn their bachelor’s degrees.

Nurses who have their associate degree are employable, but nurses who have a bachelor’s degree are that much more marketable, said Janet Lynch, dean of health professions at Sauk.

“That’s where the industry is going,” Lynch said. “Patient care is getting more difficult. Patients are more critically ill. The additional education is beneficial ... and some indicate it enhances patient outcomes.”

Many regional hos-

Interested in the program?

Those interested in the Bachelor of Science in nursing program at Sauk Valley Community College should plan to attend an informational meeting at 5:30 p.m. July 11, in Room 2K2 at the college, 173 state Route 2 in Dixon.

Call 815-288-5511 for more information.

pitals, such as those in Rockford, hire only bachelor’s degreetrained nurses, added Kristie Geil, chief nursing officer at CGH Medical Center in Sterling.

A bachelor’s degree not only makes a nurse more employable, but also opens that nurse to leadership positions within a healthcare facility and within a community, Geil said.

An advanced degree also makes it easier for a nurse to seek higher positions, such as

nurse practitioner, or to become an educator, she added.

Students are expected to be already-employed nurses who want to further their education, Lynch said. But some students, naturally, will be recent associatedegree-program graduates, too, she added.

Many local nurses may want to further their education.

“The biggest inhibitor is travel,” Geil said.

“They’re single moms or busy moms. And

All Web Promotion expands

they wanted something where they could get their degree but not have to travel so far to get it.”

Saint Anthony held informational meetings with local nurses at CGH and KSB Hospital in Dixon. Dozens turned out with interest in the new, local program, Lynch said.

Classes – an additional 28 credit hours – will be offered in person at Sauk and online (alternating Thursdays), but taught by Saint Anthony instructors at Saint Anthony’s tuition rate.

Local hospitals also want their nurses to further their education because it stems the need to recruit trained professionals from outside the community and fosters a culture of learning and leadership in the area.

“Our best bet is to grow our professionals locally,” Geil said.

Health department releases scores The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department makes routine and unannounced visits each month to various food service establishments in Bureau and Putnam counties to inspect the operation.

Health inspectors use an identical scorecard at each facility, where they check for health code

compliance in 45 areas.

Each area carries a rating from one to five, with five being the most critical. Inspectors check the entire operations of the facility in 14 different categories, such as food protection, personnel and garbage and refuse disposal.

Beginning with a score of 100 points, the health

inspector deducts one to five points for every violation. The final total is the facility’s inspection report score. A passing food inspection score is 65 or above.

At 65, the Bureau/Putnam County ordinance allows the health department to close an establishment, but a score doesn’t have to be that

low for the department to close it. It depends on the number of critical and non-critical violations and the type of violations.

Certain combinations can create a domino effect for food borne outbreaks.

All inspection reports are a matter of public record and can be seen at the Bureau County Health Department in Princeton.

Lauri Bitting’s third-grade classroom at Bureau Valley South was once again filled with the cheeping of quail. Bitting teaches an embryology unit to her class by using incubated chicken, turkey and duck eggs but this year she used an assortment of Bobwhite and Coturnix quail eggs. The students waited 20 days for the eggs to hatch. The students realized that one of the baby quail had different markings and after talking with the breeders found out that it was a Texas A&M quail, which are generally raised for consumption and are all white when mature. Bitting will raise the quail until they mature and then she releases them into the wild, but if the all white bird turns out to be the A&M quail, she will keep it on her farm. Above left: Courtlynn Carrell (left) of Sheffield holds the unique baby quail and Quinton Gallagher of Wyanet holds a Coturnix quail.

Lunch in the Park Folks out for lunch grab a quick sandwich before relaxing a bit on picnic tables during Lunch in the Park in Princeton. The Princeton Chamber of Commerce kicked off its annual Lunch in the Park event in May at Soldiers and Sailors Park on South Main Street in Princeton.

Lunch in the Park is held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. most every Friday with a variety of organizations using the event as a fundraiser. The menu for Lunch in the Park varies slightly each week, but mostly consists of picnicstyle foods. Event-goers can grab a hot sandwich, bag of chips, a treat and drink, browse the weekly bake sale — all while they sit outside and enjoy the summer breeze on their lunch break.

Adopting a shelter cat?

It’s that time of year again. June is national AdoptA-Shelter-Cat Month, as litters of spring babies were recently born and are now in need of a forever home.

Before you go running out to your local shelter to pick your new furry best friend, a shelter veterinarian gives some tips on what people should keep in mind before adopting an animal.

Dr. Bob Weedon is a shelter veterinarian at the Champaign County Humane Society as well as the faculty member who oversees the shelter medicine program at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine in Urbana. He says before adopting an animal, you should thoroughly think through the ramifications of adoption.

“Adopting a pet is not an impulse decision. Irresponsible acquisition of a pet contributes to the number of animals being relinquished to shelters,” Weedon said.

“Proper planning will significantly improve the chances that an adopted pet will become a lifelong member of its new household.”

He advises setting up an appointment with a veterinarian before the adoption, so that you can have your new pet examined within the first week of getting it.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) estimates in the first year, the costs of adopting a cat average $1,000 while adopting a dog costs between $1,300 and $1,800 or more, depending on its size. These estimates factor in the cost of high quality food, medical attention, toys, treats, pet health insurance, spay/neuter surgery, and all of the start-up costs associated with owning a pet, such as training classes, a litter box, or a dog bed. (Details can be found online at aspca.org/adoption/pet-care-costs.aspx.) That price may vary depending on what services the shelter offers. In

some cases, pets are already spayed/neutered prior to the adoption.

Since dogs have an average lifespan of 10 to 15 years and cats 15 to 20 years, the cost of ownership is something to heavily consider before adopting any pet.

Another consideration is how the pets you already have at home will react to a new kitten or cat. Weedon says most shelters allow a potential adopter to bring current pets to meet a potential new member of the family.

Are you ready to make the commitment to adopt a cat or a kitten, but unsure which animal may make the best fit for your family best?

“Similar to the planning that goes into ensuring that an adoption goes smoothly, adopting the right animal requires some forethought,” Weedon said. “Things like lifestyle, including amount of time to spend with the animal, and the amount of space an adopter has to provide for the new pet or pets are important considerations.”

If the adopter is older or less active, adopting an older “lap” animal — an older cat that loves to cuddle and be petted — would be the more appropriate choice.

Weedon says if someone is considering adopting a kitten, then perhaps adopting two kittens, so the new addition has a playmate, would make sense. An older, less active dog could benefit from a younger, more active, playmate.

Just be sure to introduce the two in advance to ensure they get along.

“All of these considerations are important to ensure that a new pet fits in and remains a member of the family for life,” Weedon said.

For more information about adoption, contact your veterinarian or local animal shelter.

Is travel insurance right for you?

Before you finalize your vacation plans, be sure you have given careful thought to whether you need to purchase travel insurance. There are circumstances that could cause you to cancel your trip, return home early or force you to seek emergency medical treatment while traveling.

Travel insurance may provide the extra protection you need. Better Business Bureau is advising travelers to weigh the pros and cons of travel insurance before going on an extensive trip.

Before you purchase coverage, check your homeowner’s or medical insurance policies to avoid any overlap. For instance, expensive items such as your camcorder, laptop computer or jewelry may be covered by your homeowner’s insurance should they be stolen while you are traveling. If the airline loses your checked luggage, they are required to reimburse you for your bags (up to a certain dollar amount). Or, if you become sick or injured while traveling, your personal medical insurance may pick up the cost of your medical bills.

Some of the different types of insurance available include: Trip Cancellation/Interruption (TCI): If your plans suddenly change and you have to cancel or end your

trip early, TCI will cover you for this.

But it will only reimburse you for reasons on the insurer’s acceptable list, such as injury, sickness or death of yourself, a family member, traveling companion or business partner.

Some policies will cover only medical reasons and some will not cover pre-existing medical conditions. It’s important to read the fine print.

Emergency Medical Evacuation: If you are going on an adventure vacation or to an area that is far from modern medical facilities, it may be a good idea to buy this coverage. If adequate treatment is not available at a local hospital, you would be transferred to the nearest acceptable medical faculty.

Baggage Loss: This coverage reimburses you for lost, stolen or damaged bags. As you are packing, make a list of everything you are taking with you. If your bag is lost, you may be reimbursed for some contents, but not all. Baggage-loss protection is only necessary if you are carrying more than $2,500 worth of items in your bags. Be sure to check your homeowner’s policy.

BBB recommends travelers take the following into consideration: • Read the fine print. Know exactly what coverage you are getting and what is covered. Policies and insur-

ance firms differ in what they cover.

• You may not need to buy it right away. Travel insurance can be purchased days before your trip. Check to see if the policy you are considering requires you to purchase within a set time period after you’ve booked your travel. For trip cancellation insurance, you won’t be covered if you buy the policy after you’ve become ill or natural disaster has wiped out your vacation destination.

• Not every trip needs travel insurance. If your total trip is a couple hundred dollars in airfare, travel insurance probably isn’t worth it.

But if you’re taking the trip of a lifetime and spending thousands, travel insurance is a good consideration.

• Don’t fall for high pressure sales tactics. Don’t let someone pressure you into buying travel insurance right away. You are the only one who can decide if you truly need it.

• Pay with a credit card. Protect yourself further by paying for travel related expenditures, including insurance, with a credit card. Ask your credit card issuer if there are additional protections that come with your credit card. Some travel insurance may be built in to your credit purchases.

On the road

60th anniversary Korean War National Museum events begin Saturday SPRINGFIELD – Illinois veterans have been providing their accounts and histories of the Korean War through the Korean War National Museum (KWNM) in Springfield’s speaker series. The museum’s fourth event featuring veterans and others from “The Forgotten War” is at 2 p.m.

June 22 at 9 Old State Capitol Plaza in Springfield when Maija Rhee Devine, wife of former Illinois Historic Preservation Agency Director Michael J. Devine, will relate her experiences in the conflict.

Guests will have a chance to meet Devine and listen to her experiences and ask questions. Students, educators, and media are welcome and encouraged to attend. Visitors may also review the museum’s memorabilia, uniforms and artifacts.

Devine was a child in Korea when war broke out. She will read from her novel, “The Voices of Heaven,” set during the Korean War and relate her experiences, particularly of South Koreans’ gratitude toward the United Nations and U.S. intervention during the war and appreciation for the U.S.-Korea alliance.

Other events are planned to honor the July 27, 1953, armistice and the men and women who served in the conflict. Speakers currently scheduled to talk at the Korean War National Museum include Edmund Wehrle, PhD. Aug. 31 and Floyd Cooper, Marine (Ret.) Sept. 14, both at 2 p.m.

Additionally, the movie “Chosin” will be shown at the Illinois State Museum’s Thorne Deuel Auditorium July 27 at 7 p.m. The Brian Iglesias documentary is about the Chosin Reservoir Campaign, a decisive battle in the Korean War, a brutal 17-day encounter in sub-zero weather in the winter of 1950 in which United Nations troops nicknamed the “The Chosin Few” including U.S. soldiers and Marines were encircled and outnumbered by Chinese troops.

Both the physical and virtual museums aim to bring to life the stories of individuals who served and partnered with nations around the

Korean War by the numbers A total of 628,833 United Nations soldiers were killed during the Korean War; Communist losses are estimated at as much as twice that number, although accurate figures have never been given. There were an estimated 1.4 million civilian casualties, and approximately 2.4 million Koreans became refugees as a result of the fighting. The United States had 54,246 soldiers killed, 8,177 missing and 103,284 wounded.

A total of 1,754 Illinois residents were killed during the war in Korea.

world, providing insight to the challenges and accomplishments of the allied nations who fought against communist aggression. The KWNM further strives to recognize how the United Nations, United States, Republic of Korea, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and China negotiated the Armistice.

Since that negotiation, much has changed.

Communism has been deterred, the Republic of Korea has become a strong ally and example of democracy, American men and women of all races and backgrounds proudly serve side by side, and jet fighter aircraft technology pioneered back then advanced our military strength. South Korea has become a beacon of freedom and democracy in Southeast Asia and a world economic power with companies like Hyundai, Samsung, LG, and Daewoo impacting technology and daily lives.

The festivities don’t end there. The Rusty Pickup String Band will provide entertainment for the old-fashioned barn dance at the Colony School following the maypole event.
