On Thursday, Walnut Police Chief Tom Ptasnik said they have some leads and are continuing to follow-up on them with assistance from the Bureau County Sheriff’s Department. Authorities are taking the incident very seriously and are doing their best to make an arrest, the police chief said. As reported earlier, an 11-year-old girl was riding her bike with friends around 9 p.m. June 12 on Main Street when the girl hurt her leg and sent her friends on without her. She said she was approached by a man in a silver- gray van who grabbed her, but he let her go after she started screaming and kicking. A collaborating witness saw the van prior to the inci- dent, Ptasnik said. The man was described as in his 50s with black hair and no facial hair or distinguishing marks or scars. As far as safety concerns for area families, Ptasnik said he’s telling parents and families to use the same caution as they always do and to be mindful of their surround- ings. Parents should always make sure they know where their kids are, he said.

PRINCETON — When a person’s passion intertwines with their career, one could consider it an ideal existence.

Artist Mary Winifred Skinner Walter Nor-ris had a passion for art. A longtime art edu-cator at Princeton High School, her artwork throughout the area has become legendary. Her lifelong canvas held a myriad of accom-

Norris died Friday morning at the age of 99.

Norris’ niece, Holly Walter Jordan of Mahomet, spoke of her aunt with great admiration.

PERU — St. Bede Acad-emy is currently hosting 14 young students from Mexico, who are here to experience American cul-ture first-hand and get a better grasp on the Eng-lish language. They are also having a lot of fun while doing so.

The students, whose ages range from 9 to 14 years old, come from private schools located in Toluca and Metepec, Mexico.

The students are accompanied by chap-erones Luz Camila Diaz, Yara Gonzalez Cuenca and Angeles Diaz Vega.

Staff and students at St. Bede have planned numerous activities and day trips for them to experience during their three-week stay.

Vega played a leading role in putting together this camp for the stu-dents, after sending her son to St. Bede.

She said after seeing the impressive opportunities and academics it had to offer, she sat down with St. Bede Superintendent Ted Struck and talked about providing a way to expose young students to the academy to get a taste of what an American pri-vate school has to offer.

“We always had a dream about summer camps, but we had never been in touch with any (American) schools,” she said.

Vega explained parents in Mexico strive to send their students to America to study, become accus-tomed to the culture and improve their English speaking skills.

“In Mexico, the majori-ty wants students to study English. Everybody teach-es English because it’s the language that moves the world,” she explained. “In Mexican universities, the students have to speak English. If not, you can not get a good job.”

St. Bede camp coor-dinator Eve Postula explained this opportu-nity is a win-win situa-tion for both the Mexican students and St. Bede.

“We have an interest in opening up our doors and bringing more students in because we feel the diver-sity we’re offering to the local community kids is really another unique feature for St. Bede,” she said. “The students from Mexico are a wonderful fit with the St. Bede stu-dents. They have a lot of similarities, and they are finding that out, which is really nice. Being from Catholic backgrounds and Catholic families, they fit in well with our student population.”

During their stay, the campers are taught reli-gion, structured ESL (English as a Second Lan-guage) classes and get to intermingle with local St. Bede students to improve conversation skills. They will also be paired up in St. Bede’s summer vol-

leyball and swimming camps, among many more ongoing activities around the campus.

“We’re using the resources and the things we have here and expos-ing these students to it,” Postula explained. “It’s very interesting because we didn’t know what to expect when the students got here and how open and outgoing they would be with intermingling with the St. Bede stu-dents. But they have just been so inquisitive and want to talk, and it makes it fun and easy because they want to do every-thing we have planned.”

Outside of the acade-my’s campus, the camp-ers take day trips to plac-es like Great America, Echo Bluff and Chicago, for a day of sightseeing all the major attractions.

“We have to mix joy and education because they are young,” Vega said. “But they are hav-ing a wonderful time with the American kids and are starting to talk with them more each day. Their young age is very impor-tant because they catch everything.”

Most of the students have been to America, whether it was a trip to Disney World or to places around the Mexican/U.S. border, but most have never been this far north in America.

“This is completely different here. We vis-ited Chicago, and it was amazing and very differ-ent to El Paso, Texas, “ Vega said.

Cuenca agreed and pointed out how much better the hospitality is in this area.

“I want to thank the acad-emy for all their support and hospitality, and I am really surprised at the quality of

their services,” she said.Vega is already looking

into next summer’s camp, which is expected to grow

and include more than 30 campers.

Summer solstice hits PrincetonPrinceton Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Kim Frey (left) helps some Summer Solstice participants sign in on Friday night during Princeton’s fun-filled event to welcome summer. The after-hours Summer Solstice activity included wine tastings, lots of shopping with local merchants, snacks and plenty of other fun.

Garvin had worked part-time for the Princeton Fire Department for the last eight years. He was a firefighter/EMT and was currently taking his paramedic class, which is the highest level of EMT, Woolley said.

Firefighting is a profession that a person just doesn’t go to school for and then go out and do it, Woolley said. It takes a person of courage and dedication to be a firefighter, and that would describe Garvin. He was willing to be that person, the fire chief said.

“Kurt was an excellent employee, a good friend and will be sorely missed,” Woolley said.

In honor of Garvin, the Princeton Fire Department has draped a memorial bun-ting across the department monument in the front of the fire station, as is tradition for fallen fire service people, Woolley said. Also, a remembrance flag will be flown at the fire station through the time of the funeral services for Garvin.

Garvin was also a volunteer assistant soc-cer coach at Princeton High School.

Meeting minutesNeponset Village Board

NEPONSET — The Neponset Village Board conducted the following business at its June 18 meeting in city hall:

• Accepted the proposal for the 2014/15 audit and special audit from Douglas W. Irwin & Co.

• Discussed the contract received from AgView for the village’s LP gas tank for the year with the board deciding to compare prices before accepting it.

• Discussed an intergovernmental agree-ment the village will be getting from the township with the agreement to be put on the agenda for next month’s meeting.

• Discussed clean-up days. The board voted to have two clean-up days a year, one the first week of May and the sec-ond during the first week of October. This will begin Oct. 2-3. Letters will be sent to inform residents.

• Heard in a report sent by absent trustee Mandy Mueller, concerning the stray dog issue, that the village will start by installing two kennels with a top and concrete floor. She also suggested the village consider having all dogs registered in town to offset the cost the village will acquire for food and care of the dogs.

Following the report, the board and some residents discussed other issues con-

cerning dogs in town. Motions were made and seconded but didn’t pass regarding building the kennels.

Mayor Carl Rohrig said something must be done about the dog issue and asked board members Ken Snyder and Barb Jan-nie to get hard prices for the next meeting, and the topic will be addressed again.

• Trustee Eugene Costin reported one culvert still needs to be installed, but it must be modified first.

• Trustee Ken Snyder reported there were two vendors at the farmers market from Kewanee. The vendors said it was a good show, and they would be back next week.

• Trustee Barb Jannie said Neponset Pic-nic Day went very well, and everyone had a good time. Jannie thanked all who helped.

• Trustee John Pratt said he only had one copy of the police report at this time and would get copies made for board mem-bers.

• Trustee Wayne Gerrond reported the village needs to get back-up pumps for both the sewer station and the sewer plant. He made a motion to buy the back-up pumps for $15,000 for the sewer plant and lift station on Commercial Street, with a second from Eugene Costin. The board dis-cussed changes to the water ordinance and will give the new information to the attor-ney and will vote on it next month meeting.

Gene Walter, worked tirelessly to save the home and restore the yard and garden, work-ing from dusk to dawn to ensure the beauty that ultimately resulted.

“Into her 90s, Mary Win worked in the gar-den a couple of hours every summer morning,” Jordan said. “At its most spectacular, the garden saw many weddings, appeared in gardening magazines and was on the local garden walk several times. A good many of the plants were originals, having been planted by her great-grandmother, Sarah Tay-lor.

“I don’t think it ever crossed Mary Win’s mind to live anywhere else,” Jordan continued. “Greenwood Cottage represented and hon-ored family history and the history of Princeton. Not many years ago, she told me about lying in bed there, and thinking about all of her family members who had been born and died in that front bedroom — almost hearing and seeing them in the house.”

Munro Norris of LaMoille was at Mary Win’s bedside dur-ing those last hours of her life. His stepmoth-er was a very gracious

lady, extremely kind to his father, Don, as his second wife and to the entire family.

When Mary Win mar-ried his father, Munro was already a grown man with a family of his own. One of his special memories was when she painted a portrait of his three daughters together, when they were around 10 years old, out in their backyard. That portrait still hangs in the living room.

“When we sit in our liv-ing room and we see this painting and others she has done, you just don’t see how it is humanly possible to do such work. These paintings were like photographs, outstand-ing,” Munro said. “She had such a rare gift, and she was so modest about that gift.”

Munro said he enjoyed visiting with Mary Win in her very nice, quaint and picturesque home on East Peru Street. She never had a cross word for anyone. She was quiet, but very intelligent with a depth of knowl-edge. She was a dynamic lady, Munro said.

He thinks Mary Win would like to be remem-bered for her talent as an artist, but also for her capabilities in her garden. She was out-standing in each. Both were extremely peaceful things for her to do, he said.

For years, she would open her garden for wed-dings, not just for fam-ily and friends, but for people who were just acquaintances, Munro said. She would go through the extra chores to make sure the garden was just right for a wed-ding.

Though he did not know Mary Win when she was teaching school, all of his friends seemed to know her. Seldom do you see a quiet person who was so well-known and well-liked by every-one, he said.

Norris was best known in the area for her art-work, which spanned several genres. She was the recipient of much praise as well as many awards in the area.

A quiet demeanor, she was a humble woman who shared her love of art with many, including the students she taught at Princeton High School.

Margo Brown of Princ-eton remembered Norris as a great art teacher, who was known for taking her students to her nearby home so they could go out into her garden and draw. Those were special times, Brown said.

“I loved her to pieces. We all loved and respect-ed her, “ Brown said. “My favorite times were when we went out into her gar-den to draw, that gate of hers, the flowers.”

Brown said she took

art all four years dur-ing high school. Norris encouraged her to draw people because Norris saw Brown had a talent in that area. Norris was very gracious and had a great poise about her, Brown said.

Brown’s most coveted possession from Norris is a portrait which Norris had done about 20 years ago of Brown’s children.

PHS Class of 1970 stu-dent Joel Klaff, who now resides in Chicago and works all through the country in TV and film production/set decora-tion, spoke fondly of his teacher from long ago.

“One winter day I received a call from a friend, Margaret Mar-tinkus, to come to Princ-eton because they were honoring Mary Win,” Klaff said. “I am so glad I was able to make that trip to Princeton one cold February day and thank her myself.

“Once I made my way back to Princeton on that cold day for her recep-tion, I said something to the effect, ‘She never taught me to draw or paint like her, but she encouraged me to live a creative life and to see the world around me with my own personal

lens,’” he remembered.“All you had to do is

witness Mary Win’s mar-velous artistic life doing her work each and every day. Whether painting, drawing, teaching or gar-dening, it was an expres-sion of how she saw the world around her,” Klaff added, saying Norris used to take her PHS art students to her garden to paint and draw.

“Her memory lives on in her great contribution to the community,” Klaff said. “Thank you, Mary Win, for sharing your vision with all of us.”

Police reports

IRS phone scam still a threat$1 million in lossesCHICAGO — Tax season may be

over but that has not stopped scam-mers from continuing to pose as IRS officials and making calls threat-ening jail, deportation and loss of property. Thousands of calls have been made to individuals across the country including northern Illinois with total losses around $1 million.

Callers to the Better Business Bureau serving northern Illinois say they have been left voicemail mes-sages stating they need to contact the IRS immediately or they would face legal consequences. Other mes-sages threatened arrest by U.S. Mar-shals for failure to pay the correct amount of taxes.

Hoffman Estates resident Bert Adams said “I had a phone mes-sage from Kelly Gray who said she worked for the IRS and that I was to call the IRS right away.” This call was less threatening and demand-ing than other calls as Adams noted her sign-off was “Good bye and take care.”

John Strandin of Rockford said he and his wife received two calls from a man who claimed his wife had not correctly filed her returns for the last six years. Standin said, “We knew it was a scam because my wife has

not filed an individual tax return in more than 10 years.”

All calls to Adams and Strandin came from the 202 area code which services the Washington, D.C., area.

“It is a safe bet that the phone numbers that showed on their caller I.D. were ‘spoofed numbers,’” said Steve J. Bernas, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau serv-ing northern Illinois. “It is a com-mon practice of scammers to hide their real phone number from their intended victim. In some cases they have even ‘spoofed’ the IRS’s legiti-mate ‘800’ customer service num-ber.”

In addition to claiming to be from the IRS, other individuals say they have been called by people stating they were with the U.S. Treasury; although it is a different government agency, the scam remains the same.

Scott Smuck of Rockford said “I was told I did not file my 2010 taxes correctly, and I owed $1,000 and needed to pay it immediately or they would seize my property and bank account and I would be arrested by the U.S. Marshal.” Smuck was instructed not to hang up until he paid the money. “I was even told what store to go to and get a Green-Dot card.” The call lasted one hour and 49 minutes.

According to the IRS, the agency never contacts taxpayers by phone asking for money. They also never contact taxpayers by email. If there is an issue with the IRS that requires your response, the contact would be made by U.S. mail.

If you receive one of these scam phone calls the BBB recommends:

• Hang up — Don’t provide any information over the phone. Call the IRS directly using the phone num-ber found on the http://www.irs.gov website or in the phone book.

6 • Tuesday, July 1, 2014 Bureau County Republican • bcrnews.com

I can hardly believe July has arrived! Where did June go? For that matter ... what happened to Janu-ary, February, March, April and May? This year is flying by us.

Friday is the Fourth of July already. I hope you have a big day planned! Sev-eral towns around the area are holding special celebrations, which include a variety of activities and of course — the grand fireworks displays. While I understand the hot and humid weather, coupled with several other factors, might encourage you to stay home, where it’s cool and mosquito-free, however, I strongly urge you to try to attend at least one of the area fireworks shows. A lot of time, energy and money go into these fun-filled events; plus, it’s a great way to show your respect for our nation’s birthday.

Here I go getting on my soapbox again ... But please think about your pets when you go to the fireworks. I know there are some dogs who don’t mind all the noise, but on the flip side, those loud noises can really frighten some dogs. It might be a good evening to let Fido rest inside the house, while you celebrate the holiday.

Also, if you happen to have some sparklers and other July 4 fun at home, be very careful. According to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission, some sparklers can burn at temperatures close to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit! Putting those sparklers in the hands of small children can be very dangerous. You want to remember the day with special memo-ries and fun with family and friends — not a trip to the emergency room!

•••On behalf of the Bureau County Republican, I’d

like to extend our sympathy to the families of Mary Win Norris and Kurt Garvin.

Through the years, I’ve done several stories with Mary Win, and each time, I found her to be so gra-cious and kind. She truly was a legend in this area, and I will always look at the Mary Win paintings I have at home with a certain fondness.

The tragic and untimely death of Kurt has clearly rocked Princeton and the surrounding area. A noble firefighter and EMT, it’s difficult to tell how many lives/homes he helped to save. BCR Sports Editor Kevin Hieronymus said he was always a good friend to the our sports department and clear-ly a mentor to young people. He will be missed.

•••Thoughts for this week:• “You have to love a nation that celebrates its

independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the pota-to salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patrio-tism.” Erma Bombeck.

• “We on this continent should never forget that men first crossed the Atlantic not to find soil for their ploughs but to secure liberty for their souls.” Robert J. McCracken.

• “The United States is the only country with a known birthday.” James G. Blaine.

•••I’ve had quite a few calls from folks who are look-

ing for our next edition of Illinois Valley Living. Thanks for your interest. The Summer 2014 edi-tion will be hitting the street in just a few days. It’s jam-packed with a variety of great stories about the people, places and things in the Illinois Valley. I think you’re really going to like it. You’ll be seeing it soon!

•••Just a reminder: We will be taking nominations

soon for the second annual Women of Distinction Award. Start thinking now about who you would like to nominate. It’s really a very nice honor.

•••The BCR will be closed on Friday, so that our staff

can celebrate with their family and friends. I hope you have a fantastic Fourth of July. Enjoy every moment. Laugh. Breathe. Exhale. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

From the editor’s desk

A July 2 celebrationTo the Editor,

As we prepare to gather with friends and family to celebrate the Fourth of July, I want to encour-age everyone to take a moment to commemorate another important event in our nation’s history. Fifty years ago on July 2, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 became law, which outlawed discrimination based on race, creed, gender or national origin. The landmark civil rights law prohibited racial segregation in schools, at work and at public facilities, and ended unfair voting registration practices.

Having been a student at Ala-bama State College — now Ala-bama State University — in Mont-gomery, Ala., in the early 1950s, I experienced some of the inequali-ties that prompted the civil rights movement. Coming from Chicago to Montgomery brought challenges and frustrations due to the racial climate in the South. African-Amer-icans were prohibited from drink-ing at certain water fountains and using certain washrooms, weren’t allowed to choose which seat on a bus to sit on and were banned from eating at many restaurants. Afri-can-American students faced the inequality of a segregated school system.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 ush-ered in widespread legal changes for which activists had fought for years. It was a monumental step in the direction of racial equality and fairness.

I encourage those who would like to learn more about this important milestone in our nation’s history to read the feature article on the Civil Rights Movement in the 2013-14 “Illinois Blue Book,” published by

my office. The “Illinois Blue Book” is available online at www.cyber-driveillinois.com or can be found at your local library.

As we prepare to celebrate the birth of our great nation 238 years ago, let us also remember those heroes who organized, protested and marched so we could live in a society where people, as my former minister the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. famously said, “will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

Jesse White, Illinois Secretary of State, Springfield

Where does sustainability matter most?To the Editor,

The push to “go green” touches every area of our lives, from EPA fuel economy rules to the ban on 100-watt incandescent light bulbs. But where does sustainability mat-ter most? It matters on our farms, in our grocery stores and at our dinner tables. For all the talk about climate change, energy savings, reusing hotel towels or recycling, the most important sustainability topics involve food production. That’s because food is a close third behind air and water in keeping everyone alive.

Most people know where food comes from — farms, but not every-one understands how long and how hard my fellow producers and I have been working to farm sustain-ably. For many of us, sustainability mattered decades before it became a popular business and marketing topic.

That’s because farmers want to meet their family’s needs today in a way that leaves their kids with a

brighter future. For farm families that means protecting soil, water and air, reducing energy use and finding ways to feed more people.

We use sustainable farming methods to ensure a steady supply of safe food and renewable fuels. However, meeting these challenges requires careful consideration of the choices we make on our farm. For example, adding nutrients to the soil helps us ensure we produce healthy crops, now we know that nutrients that leave the farm may cause problems downstream. For use to be successful, we have to see both sides of the story and work hard to find the right balance for everyone.

Sustainability also means build-ing a long-term economically viable industry, so we can earn a fair return and keep producing food. More importantly, we farm to improve the social economic well-being of our local and global com-munities. It also means working together with commodity groups like the Illinois Soybean Associa-tion.

These days it seems that everyone is trying to define sustainability, but if you want a good definition, ask a farmer. You can count on farmers to make sustainability mean more than miles per gallon or light bulb restrictions. And you can enjoy the outcome when you dig into your next family meal or grab a snack at the drive-through window.

We will continue to farm sustain-ably because it’s the right thing to do — protecting our resources while we work to keep everyone fed. For us, farming is not just a serious commitment, it’s the best job on earth.

An eighth generation Louisiana Creole, Simien received his second Grammy Award in Janu-ary. Although steeped in traditional Zydeco music — an upbeat blend of Cajun, Creole, blues, jazz and soul — Simien has extended his consider-able vocal and instrumen-tal talents to performing in all of these individual musical genres as well.

He has collaborated with the likes of Fats Domino, Sarah Vaughn and Randy Newman.

For more than 30 years, Simien and his band have performed more than 7,000 concerts in more than 45 countries, includ-ing being the first Zydeco band to appear in Cuba under the sponsorship of the U.S. State Depart-ment in 2006. He is a reg-

ularly featured performer at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

For the Princeton event, the block of South Main Street from Peru to Marion will be closed to auto traffic. Four and Twenty Café and Kram-er’s will be serving Loui-siana cuisine. Fitzgerald’s and Somewhere Else will be selling alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

Knee-high by the Fourth of JulyThe goal for corn used to be knee high by the Fourth of July. How times have changed! Erma Jean Robison, a resident of Heartland Health Care Center in Henry, wanted to measure herself against how tall the corn was on June 25. She has been amazed how tall the corn has grown in the last week. She goes out in the mornings for her daily walk and was reminiscing when she was a child everyone was hoping corn was knee high by the Fourth of July.

Festival 56 presents ‘As You Like It’

PRINCETON — Festival 56 will open its 11th sea-son of free Shakespeare in Princeton’s Soldiers and Sailors Park at 7:30 p.m. Sunday with the comedy “As You Like It.” After opening night, it will be performed at the same time every Wednes-day and Sunday evening through July 27.

Fifteen minutes before each performance of “As You Like It,” Festival 56 will offer “Basic Bill: Shakespeare Made Easy,” a free presentation about the play. One of Shake-speare’s most popular romantic comedies, “As You Like It” takes place in the Forest of Arden, making the Princeton park setting for it perfect. It features overlapping

love stories, most prin-cipally that of Rosalind and Orlando. The famous Shakespeare monologue “all the world’s a stage,” is spoken by the character, Jaques, in “As You Like It.”

With more than a decade of offering free outdoor Shakespeare every summer, Festival 56 has made it possible for hundreds of people to enjoy the genius, wit and magic of the world’s most famous playwright. Local children have been able to grow up hearing Shake-

speare in a fully staged and costumed production before the often maligned introduction of Shake-speare in high school English.

“As You Like It” is appropriate for all ages. Festival 56 suggests bring-ing lawn chairs.

Carus Corporation is the sponsor of this sea-son’s production of “As You Like It.” The produc-tion is also supported by a grant from the Russell and Eleanor Sikes Peters Performing Arts Fund of

Community Foundation of Central Illinois and by the generosity of Festival 56 supporters.

For more information about the entire Festi-val 56 summer season of musicals, dramas and comedies, visit the Grace Performing Arts Center, 316 S. Main St., Princeton or www.festival56.com. The box office is open from noon to 5 p.m. Mon-day to Saturday and an hour before each perfor-mance. Call the box office at 815-879-5656, ext. 11.

IPA Award Winner — The BCR has been recognized as the Best Sports Section for Division B by the Illinois Press Associaton.

Keeping the faithBy Kevin Hieronymus

[email protected]

Caleb Strom doesn’t just walk the walk, he runs with it.

The Princeton senior uses a mix of strong faith and a passion for track to excel. He can turn as close as his Bible to find a direct correla-tion between the two.

“My life verse is 1st Corinthians 9:24 which states ‘all runners run in a race, but only one obtains the prize. Run in such a way you may win,’” Strom said. “My walk with Christ requires work, discipline and motivation. Likewise track requires me to not slack off and keep at workouts and races. I need to live my life for Christ, I need to run the race in order to win, not to lose.”

He runs the race well on the track. He was one of only two athletes to lead this year’s BCR Track and Field Honor Roll in three individual events. He was a state qualifier in Class 2A.

And now he is the 2014 BCR Track and Field Athlete of the year.

PHS coach Dan Foes said Strom was an outstanding leader in the Tiger Track program for four years.

“Caleb has always had a great love and passion for track and field,” Foes said. “Caleb has been a posi-tive influence on his younger team-mates. He will truly be missed. We wish him the best as he moves for-ward with his college track experi-ence.”

Strom qualified for 2A State in the 200 meters with a Honor Roll Best time of 22.62. He also finished on top the Honor Roll in the 100 (11.1)

No witnesses allowed for IHSA at hearingBLOOMINGTON — The Illi-

nois High School Association (IHSA) has learned that it will not be allowed to call witnesses at its July 8 hearing with the Illinois General Assembly’s Ele-mentary & Secondary Educa-tion Committee, scheduled to begin at noon in room C600 of the Bilandic building in Chi-cago.

“The IHSA will not be allowed to call witnesses,” reads an email from House Democratic Research/Appropriations Staff member James O’Brien regard-ing the hearing. “The format will be the same as last time.”

The IHSA was not permitted to call witnesses at the first hear-ing, held on May 20 in Spring-field. The Education Committee has yet to share what the subject of the hearing will be and if it will call any witnesses.

“It’s a disappointing develop-ment to say the least,” said IHSA Executive Director Marty Hick-man. “It seems to go against the very nature of a hearing like this. We have a respected

group of high school adminis-trators, individuals with diverse IHSA experiences, who want the opportunity to speak to the committee.”

Hickman noted that the IHSA had planned to call “10 to 15” witnesses to testify on the IHSA’s behalf, including Edwardsville High School Superintendent Ed Hightower, Proviso West High School Athletic Director and former Director of CPS Athletic Administration Calvin Davis, Hillcrest High School Principal Renee Sims, Hoffman Estates High School Athletic Director Steve Lacni, LaSalle-Peru High School Athletic Director and former Chicago Bear/North-western University football standout D’Wayne Bates and Chicago Catholic League Hall of Fame honoree Jim Prunty, who retired as the Athletic Director at St. Ignatius in May.

“I really would like to find out the true reason why many of us are here today,” said State Representative Dan Brady after questioning individuals from

the Illinois Press Association (IPA) and Illinois Broadcasters Association (IBA) during the first hearing on May 20.

The IPA and IBA helped write the House Resolution for State Representative Linda Chapa LaVia and were called to testify at the May 20 hearing, where their comments focused on the IHSA’s broadcast rights for its postseason contests. The Chi-cago Sun-Times, which owns an Illinois high school web-streaming website, contributed to Brady’s concerns of ulterior agendas.After receiving advance notice of the hearing from Rep-resentative Chapa LaVia, the paper produced a series of sto-ries on the IHSA’s finances, which many committee mem-bers pulled questions from directly during the hearing. The crux of the series was an errone-ous report that IHSA salaries and benefits had increased 21 percent in one calendar year.

[email protected]

Collin Aimone (Hall • Sr.)Utilizing the speed he

distributed on the football field, Aimone excelled in the track and field. He led the Honor Roll in the 400 (51.62), anchored the Red Devils’ Honor Roll lead-ing 4x100 and was ranked second in the 100 (11.40).

Al Baldonado (Hall • Jr.)The BCR Cross Country

Runner of the Year had an equally successful track season, qualifying for state in the 3200 (10:00.47) and leading the Honor Roll in the 1600 (4:46.84).

John Barnes (St. Bede • So)

The future is bright for the Bruin cub, who set a sophomore school record in the discus with a throw of 143 feet and 0 inches and qualified for state. He was also ranked third in the shot (48-1).

Justin Buckman (Bureau Valley • Jr.)

The Storm strongman led all throwers in the shot put with a toss of 49-5. He was ranked third in the discus (131-2).

Trey Dale (Bureau Valley • So.)

Gave the Storm a strong No. 2 leg in the Honor Roll leading 4x400 relay (1:35.42).

Kane Eastwood (Bureau Valley • Sr.)

Eastwood made his day for the Storm, anchor-ing the Storm’s medal effort, school-record and Honor Roll leading effort in the 4x400 (3:26.78) and 4x800 8:09.8) relays. He also qualified in the 800

(1:59.92).Patrick Einhaus

(Hall • So.)The sophomore speed-

ster took part in the Red Devils’ 4x100 relay, which had a top time of 45.12.

Chris Hammonds (Hall • So.)

Another sophomore with speed, Hammonds ran the opening leg for the Red Devils’ Honor Roll leading effort in the 4x100 relay (45.12). He was also ranked as one of the area leaders in the long jump and sprints.

Baylee Hopps (St. Bede • So.)

The hop, in particular, and the skip and jump suited Hopps just fine, leading all area jumpers in the triple jump with a mark of 42-1 1/2.

Will Konneck (Bureau Valley • So.)

Anchored the Storm’s 4x400 relay which led the area with a time of 1:35.42.

Drew Pranka (Princeton • Jr.)

By air and on land, the PHS junior excelled. Pran-ka qualified for 2A State

in the 300 intermediate hurdles (40.31) and led the Honor Roll in the 110 high hurdles (15.2) and pole vault (12-0).

Aaron Rybarczyk (Hall • Jr.)

Helped the Red Devils run down the area’s top time in the 4x100 relay.

Colton Peterson (Bureau Valley • Sr.)

Like teammates Kane Eastwood and Daniel Trone, Peterson took part in both of the Storm’s state medaling relays in the 4x400 and 4x800 with school records in both events.

Tucker Schoff (Bureau Valley • Sr.)

The Storm senior picked up a state medal and school record in the 4x400 (3:26.78) and took part in the Storm’s Honor Roll leading 4x200.

Michael Slingsby (St. Bede • Sr.)

While he did not lead the Honor Roll in either event, the St. Bede senior qualified for state in both weight events. He was ranked second in both

the shot (48-9) and discus (137-0).

Lucus Sisler(Princeton • So.)

Just a sophomore, Sisler soared about the county competition with a high jump of 5-10.

Caleb Strom (Princeton • Sr.)

The senior captain led by example on the track and in the field. He was the Honor Roll leader in three events, qualifying for 2A State in the 200 with a top time of 22.62. He also paced the Honor Roll in the 100 (11.1) and long jump (21-0).

Ryan Taylor (Bureau Valley • Sr.)

The Storm senior had a perfect sendoff from BV on the Storm’s state-med-aling 4x800 relay.

Daniel Trone (Bureau Valley • Sr.)

Got things started for both of the Storm’s State medaling relays in the 4x400 and 4x800, setting school records in both events.

and long jump (21-0).While the road to state would

have been likely been easier and more bountiful in Class 1A (he had qualifying marks for 1A in all three events), Strom is happy to have gone through the 2A ranks. It’s helped make him the com-petitor he is.

“As much as I say I dislike being in 2A, it made me work harder and compete harder to get betters times and distances,” he said. “Would I have gone to state in more events if we were 1A? Most likely. However, I don’t think my times would have been as good as they are now because of the higher competition.

His favorite event is the 200, because he said it was an event he could give his full attention to.

“The relays, 100 and long jump were all back to back and had no time to focus on an event. The 200 I could give my full attention to and drive to get a better time,”

he said.Strom this past season has

been his favorite at PHS.“We had the best team dynam-

ic we have ever had in my four years at PHS,” he said. “The separation between seniors and freshmen were non existent. We ran, we competed and we won as one, and I loved it. We may not have been the fastest team, but we worked the hardest. We com-peted the hardest. Every event, every meet we had to perform at 110 percent to get the points we needed.”

Strom will be running for Bethel College in Mishawaka, Ind., next year. He plans to study Christian ministries and obtain a Masters of Christian Ministries.

While he considered attend-ing Judson University and Grace College, he was sold on Bethel and coach Tony Natali.

“The biggest factor was coach Natali and his staff,” Strom said. “He has such a drive for compe-tition, while also giving glory to God. Everything else was icing on the cake. I’m extremely excit-ed to be part of the Bethel pro-gram, I get to continue doing what I love at a higher level.”
