PRINCETON — Princ-eton’s first ever Great Strides Cystic Fibrosis Walk is being planned for Saturday, June 28.

The event is being brought to the area by Princeton resident Cheriz Kunkel, who was diag-nosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) when she was just a few weeks old.

The disease is a genetic one that can affect any number of organs, but pri-marily affects the lungs.

Today, at the age of 29, Kunkel has only 50 per-cent lung function. Each day, she is forced to do nine breathing treatments and take more than 50 pills to maintain her cur-rent lung function.

Kunkel is one of many local people who travel to other CF Walks around the state to raise awareness and funds to assist with research in the disease. This year, however, she thought, why not bring a walk to the Princeton area?

“We are hoping to make Princeton an annual walk site,” she said. “Great Strides is the CF Founda-tion’s largest national fun-draising event. Each year, more than 125,000 people participate in hundreds of walks across the coun-try to raise funds for CF research and drug devel-opment.”

According to Kunkel, there are crucial medi-cines currently being researched that could help people with CF.

County OKs administrator search

Princeton to host

first Cystic Fibrosis

Walk

Virus causes concern among farmers

By donna [email protected]

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Board has voted to go ahead with its search for a county administrator.

At Tuesday’s meet-ing, the board decided to hire a facilitator to do the search, as it had done in 2005 when the county hired Austin Edmondson as its first administrator. After Edmonson’s resigna-tion 15 months later, the

county has not had an administrator since.

In her report Tuesday evening, Fees and Sala-ries Committee Chair-man Marshann Entwhistle encouraged board mem-bers to contact committee members with their ideas or suggestions concern-ing hiring another coun-

ty administrator and, if so, how to go about the search.

Board member Bob McCook recommended the county board discuss the topic that night and at least get a general con-sensus whether to pursue hiring an administrator.

In his comments, board

member Tom Dobrich said the Finance Commit-tee itself has discussed the issue quite a bit and sees the positives of having a county administrator to help run the county. His recommendation would be to hire a search firm to look for an administrator, Dobrich said.

After further discus-sion, the board approved a motion by Dobrich to go ahead and hire a firm to handle the search for an administrator. The motion was approved on voice vote, though not a unani-mous one.

PRINCETON — There’s a rela-tively new virus that’s creating devastating effects and has forced area pork producers to prepare action plans in case it reaches their farm.

It’s known as the Porcine Epi-demic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV), and it’s wiping out every 14 day old or younger piglet it reaches.

PEDV is a coronavirus that infects the cells that line the small

intestine of a pig, causing severe diarrhea and dehydration. The virus can kill young piglets within five days of contracting it.

The effects of the virus have not yet posed a threat to humans or other animals, and is known solely to be a swine virus.

According to Dr. Lynn Keller of Wyoming, Ill., who specializes in swine studies, there are three strings of the virus. The first was witnessed in Europe in the 1970s and eventually disappeared. It then resurfaced in China a num-ber of years ago and is still a

common virus there today. The virus in China is very similar to the PEDV virus, Keller said. Many believe the PEDV was brought into the U.S. from China, but the how and when are still being debated.

The PEDV first appeared in the U.S. about a year ago. Keller reported most cases of the virus coming from areas that have large hog confinements, like in southern Minnesota, Iowa and western Illinois.

A Polo pork producer, Brian Duncan, recently reported

to the Sauk Valley News that he had contracted the virus in March. He estimated to have lost between 1,000 and 1,200 piglets. While he is known to wean about 300 piglets a week, he was forced to go one month without weaning any little piglets. Older pigs fare better against the virus. When it hits older pigs, it’s more like a mild flu. With proper management, operations can return to normal in about four weeks.

The disease causes the animals to have high fever and severe diarrhea. While the warmer weather has slowed down the spreading, there are still new cases popping up. Thus far, the virus has posed no danger to humans or other animals.

Wiggins brothers hope to reach 200

By Donna [email protected]

PRINCETON — The Wig-gins farm of rural Princeton has joined an elite of group of 15 other Bureau County farms to be designated as Sesquicentennial Farms by the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

Brothers Bill and Tom Wiggins own the farm, located about mile from Princeton on Route 26. Their ancestors bought the original 128-acre farm in 1856, at a cost of $36 an acre. The farm has been in the Wiggins name ever since, Bill said.

To qualify for Sesqui-centennial Farm status, an agricultural property must have been owned by the same family of descen-dants for at least 150 years. Statewide, more than 600 Illinois farms have been named Sesquicentennial Farms since the program was created in 2001.

On Tuesday, Bill, who lives on the family farm, and Tom, who lives in Monticello, talked about the significance of having reached the Sesquicenten-nial Farm milestone.

“We are very proud of being Sesquicentennial. It’s honoring our heritage. We have become own-ers through gifts from our ancestors and I look for-ward to maintaining the farm and passing it on to my children,” Tom said. “How many other busi-nesses can you say that have had the same family owners for 150 years?”

Bill agreed with his brother’s sentiments.

“When someone asks me where I farm, I tell them where we are locat-ed and then I tell them it’s a Sesquicentennial farm. I’m as pleased as punch,” Bill said. “The farm has been in the Wiggins name since 1856 and that’s pret-ty nice.”

The brothers said they have a lot of good mem-ories growing up on the farm. They remember hearing the story how

there was once a horse rac-ing track on the northwest corner of the farm. They remember how their dad would drive cattle down the road from their place to their other property a couple miles away, prop-erty which their dad sold in the 1970s to become the site of the Bureau Valley Country Club.

Their parents, Charles T. and Ruth K. Wiggins, kept the boys busy, Tom and Bill agreed. There was always chores to do, like taking care of the livestock and chickens. There was hay bailing and shelling corn. The boys were busy with 4-H club, summer ball leagues, and, in high school, Future Farmers of

America at Princeton High School.

Growing up on a farm, you never said there was nothing to do, or your par-ents would find something, Tom said with a smile.

Their dad kept the live-stock until the 1970s and the farm has grown seed corn for Pioneer Research for nearly 70 years, Bill said.

The brothers are joint owners and partners now on the farm now. Bill has worked on the farm, at least part-time, for years, before coming back years ago to work on the farm full-time. Though not a farmer himself, Tom has worked in the agricul-ture field, retiring after 30 years in professional farm management and farm real estate sales.

Looking to the future, Tom said the family farm will be handed down with pride to the next genera-tion of Wiggins. Though none of the younger gen-eration plan to farm the land themselves, they will inherit the land, Tom said.

“I hope the farm will stay in the family. I’m instilling that legacy in my children and my kids respect that,” Tom said.

Bill, too, is hopeful the farm he calls home will stay in the Wiggins family for years to come.

“We’re shooting for 200 years,” he said.

“In fact, right now a drug that could help less-en the severity of my CF is currently in Phase 3 of the clinical trials,” she said. “It’s because of donations and awareness raised from these Great Strides walks that bring us closer to a cure everyday.”

This event will not only bring hope for Kunkel, but also for future gen-erations.

“Growing up I watched all but one of my child-hood friends pass away from this disease. It robbed some amazing kids of this lives,” she said. “All my life, the community of Princeton has been understanding, never judged me, never treated me different ... The community’s sup-port has been amazing.”

While CF has it’s rough days, Kunkel is one per-son who doesn’t let the tough times get to her. In fact, she has embraced the disease. She said in col-lege, her friends encour-aged her to do stand up comedy about her CF and start her blog, which can be found at www.cheriz.org. The site has been crafted into her own space to update readers on her and the experienc-es she’s endeavored over the years. Also on the blog are briefs about her medical history, daily life and explanations behind some of the treatments she has to do to maintain her health.

On her blog page, she writes: “Why would I ever wish I wasn’t born with CF when I got to wit-ness life changing stories everyday. Stories of love, hope and inspiration. I saw real struggles and obstacles. I saw people persevere and love life to the fullest.”

“I owe a lot of my char-acter and personality to my stays in the hospital. Don’t get me wrong, the fact I haven’t been in one since 2008 and haven’t been on IV meds since 2012 doesn’t mean I want to stop my upward trend in health,” she writes.” It just means I’m thank-

ful for the positives CF has brought me. It has made me tougher, more independent and mostly, more loving. For once, I stop to say thank you, CF.”

If this year’s walk is a success, Kunkel said the Great Strides Organiza-tion will be adding Princ-eton to the list of annual walk sites.

“This would be a dream come true, not only for me, but everyone I know in the community who has CF or knows someone with CF,” she said.

Interested participants can register online or make a donation to the organization at http://f i g h t c f . c f f . o r g / g o t o /Princeton. For those who can’t walk, but still want to fund raise, they may do so as a virtual walker or make a donation to any-one on the local Princ-eton Team online.

Kunkel is currently accepting donations to help pay for the walk’s costs. She is also in search of volunteers to run games, crafts, face paint-ing and more on the day of the event. Those inter-ested can contact her at [email protected].

Also on June 28, Princ-eton’s Culvers will be hosting a fundraiser for the Princeton Walk. From 5 to 8 p.m. 10 percent of their proceeds will go to the CF Foundation.

Sunset Ridge will host fourth annual walks

WALNUT — On May 30 and June 20, Sunset Ridge MX Park in Walnut will host its fourth annual Susan G. Komen Track Walks for Breast Cancer Awareness fundraiser. The events, which raised more than $8,000 last year for the Quad Cities and Memorial Affiliates of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Research Foundation, are expect-ed to attract between 200 and 300 participants each. National race teams riding at Sunset Ridge also contribute to the fundraiser.

Jan Pistole, co-owner of Sunset Ridge MX, says the events attract local walkers, as well as family members and friends of ATV and MX racers who will be at the track on those days cheering on

riders who are participat-ing in the ATV Nation-al Practice and Loretta Lynn Regional Qualifier practice sessions.

“We are fortunate to have wonderful partici-pation from people from across the country who enjoy a chance to get out and walk the 1.8 mile motocross track at the end of a long day of sup-porting their friends who are practicing for nation-al races. Since every dol-lar raised goes to sup-port our local affiliates, we also look forward to welcoming local citizens who support the efforts of this very important organization,” Pistole said.

The walks will begin at 5 p.m. on May 30 and on June 20, at the conclusion of the practice sessions

for each race event. Pre-registration is available prior to May 19 for the first event or June 9 for the second event, online at www.sunsetridgemx.com or at the track for $15. After those dates, the cost is $20 per registra-tion. For those that would like to participate in both events, registration will be $25. All participants will receive a T-shirt and goody bag the day of the event. Sunset Ridge MX is located at 24558 1100 East St. in Walnut. Direc-tions are available on the park’s website.

Local participants who come out May 30 for the Walk will receive a half-price coupon to return for the racing on May 31. The world’s best ATV pro-riders will be con-verging at Sunset Ridge

for the annual ATV Show-down that weekend.

“We are looking for-ward to challenging ourselves and everyone involved to go beyond our contribution in 2013. We all know or will know someone who has been impacted by this devas-tating disease, and the goal is to raise money to help researchers eradi-cate it for future genera-tions,” Pistole said.

For those who are unable to walk the track but who wish to partici-pate, Sunset Ridge will offer shuttle transporta-tion across the 1.8 mile course. Onsite registra-tion for those who wish to register the day of the event will begin at 2 p.m.

For more information, contact the track at 815-379-9534.

Keller said the spread-ing of the virus is being blamed on the trucking of pig and feed transport. Minuscule amounts of the virus picked up from tires have the potential to spread throughout a con-finement. Many farmers have taken extra biose-curity protocols, such as disinfecting truck tires and making truck drivers wear plastic, disposable gloves.

According to Keller, scientist are not yet hav-ing success with a vac-cine to prevent PEDV. He believes it could be two

years before a reliable vaccine is developed.

Steve Cowser, a Brad-ford pork producer, reported that his farm has so far been able to escape PEDV. However, his farm has established an action plan and they are being very diligent in following the high bios-ecurity protocols.

One effect that Cowser has witnessed, however, is the record high pork prices.

He said on March 18, the June Hog futures peaked at the price of $1.33 a pound. He said when he asked his broker what was influencing the marker he learned there was a perceived idea that

there would be a shortage of pork due to PEDV.

Therefore, fund man-agers were buying hog futures to profit from the shortage, thinking that the price would rise due

to the perceived shortage.“My thoughts are that

while I like to make a profit, I do not like the extreme prices that we are seeing now. I think most pork producers would

be more satisfied with more reasonable prices,” he said. “If we are hedg-ing properly we will not make any more money in the current situation. It just goes through our bank account and back to margin calls. All this due to a perceived shortage that will not be nearly as severe as perceived.”

Cowser’s advice to the consumer it to watch for sale promotions when buying food.

“The best cure for high prices is high prices. Things will eventually return to normal and food prices will become more reasonable,” he said.

In other business, Build-ings and Grounds Com-mittee Chairman Kristi Warren gave an update on the extensive radio communication upgrade project, which is nearing completion and should be wrapped up within the next month.

She also reported money has been put into the sher-iff’s department budget to build a padded cell at the county jail, at a cost of $15,755, because of the suicidal and mental issues of some inmates.

On Thursday, Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson said the pad-ded cell has been complet-ed and has been approved. The padded cell is the jail’s previously existing isolation cell, where homi-cidal or suicidal people are taken, or those inmates who fail to adapt to jail life for a variety of reasons. The padded cell provides another level of protec-tion, the sheriff said.

Because the state and federal governments have failed to appropriate ade-quate mental health fund-ing, the problem of men-tal health is going to con-tinue to be an agonizing problem for a long time, including for county jails, Thompson said. The jails have become a catch-all facility for society, he said.

As he sees it, the county jail shouldn’t be respon-sible for people with men-tal health problems, but the jail often gets those people by default, Thomp-son said. These people are often incapable of functioning rationally, they may create some kind of disturbance, then someone calls the police on them, and they are brought to the jail until the courts release them. With-out getting mental health services for these people, the cycle can begin again, he said.

ObituariesLeRoy ‘Lee’ Blohm

APPLETON, Wis. — LeRoy J. “Lee” Blohm, formerly of Appleton, Wis., and Princeton and Walnut, died Monday, May 12, 2014.

Lee was born Aug. 26, 1934, at home on the family dairy farm near Seymour, Wis., the third in the family of nine children of Herbert and Delores (Hurst) Blohm. He was bap-tized and confirmed at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Seymour, Wis.

Lee’s early education was in a one-room rural school, and he graduated from Seymour High School, Class of ’53. He went on to attend the University of Wisconsin–Madison, earning a degree in bacteriology and dairy science. While at UW, he completed ROTC training and was commis-sioned as a U.S. Army Officer. He trained with the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Benning, Ga.

Lee married Margaret Appleton at St. Nicholas Catholic Church in Freedom, Wis., on June 20, 1959. During the next 54 years, they lived in Bonduel, Shawano and Marsh-field, Wis. They also made a home for their six children in Walnut and Princeton. Lee was formerly employed by Consolidated Badger Inc. and Avanti Foods. He was a licensed Wisconsin cheesemaker and certified cheese grader. Lee was also the owner and proprietor of the Ched-dar House in Princeton.

Throughout his lifetime, Lee was of service to these com-munities as a member of his church, educational groups and several organizations, including Lions Club, Cham-ber of Commerce, Wisconsin Cheesemakers Association, Knights of Columbus and Pheasants Forever. Lee was also very committed to his work with Gateway Services for Dis-abled Adults and Children, including regularly hiring dis-abled individuals as seasonal employees in the business.

Following his retirement in 1994, Lee and Margaret lived in Freedom and Appleton, Wis. After they moved to Apple-ton, he worked at Cardinal Health. He was a member of the Oilers Investment Group and the Wisconsin/Nicaragua Partnership and served a volunteer assignment in Nica-ragua to evaluate dairy sanitation and cheese production. His work with the Partners organization brought two Nica-raguans to visit the U.S.A. With the cooperation of several dairy farmers and Wisconsin cheese factories, they experi-enced modern dairy and cheese production methods.

Lee is survived by his wife, Margaret, and his six children and their families, Laura (Craig) Pitts and son Eric of Glen Ellyn, Dr. Patrick (Carolyn) Blohm and sons Matthew and Nicholas of Savannah, Ga., Dr. Kathy Blohm (Todd Sat-tler) and their children Adam, Emma and Julia of Bismark, N.D., Dr. Brenda Blohm (Steve Benck) and their children Erin, Rachel, Emmett and Owen of Portage, Wis., Maria (Jim) Ellis and their children Charlie and Margaret of Glen Ellyn, and Christopher (Naomi) Blohm and their sons Oscar and Orville of Fond du Lac, Wis. His surviving family includes his brothers and sisters and their families: Melvin (Ruth) Blohm of Seymour, Wis., Donald Blohm of Lowell, Mich., Lois Buelow of Appleton, Wis., Carol (Bob) Ganzel of Lakewood, Wis., Joanne Blohm and special friend Bob Pfister of Alta, Calif., and David (Jane) Blohm of Neenah, Wis.; and a brother-in-law, Glenn Wichman of Mountain, Wis. Survivors also include Margaret’s family: Betty (Joe) Garvey of Freedom, Wis., Jim (Dot) Appleton of Green Bay, Wis., Patrick (Gwen) Appleton of Scottsdale, Ariz., Karl (Barb) Appleton of Green Bay, Wis., Barb (Mike) Schneider of Appleton, Wis., and Ann (Archie) Stam of Oshkosh, Wis. Lee is also survived by his four God-children, Shari Geske, Patrick Appleton II, Jason Appleton and Craig Blohm. He is furthered survived by 28 nieces and nephews, and many dear friends who were always available for a cup of coffee and lively conversation.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his sisters, Bev-erly Weber and Janice Wichman; his brothers-in-law, Tom Buelow and Bob Weber; a sister-in-law, Naomi Blohm; Margaret’s parents, Orville and Irene Appleton; and four nephews.

The funeral liturgy for Lee will be at 10 a.m. Friday, May 23, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 410 W. Lawrence Street in Appleton, Wis. Celebrant will be Fr. Jim Leary, O.F.M. Cap, assisted by Fr. David Belongea, O.F.M. Cap and Dea-con Mark Farrell.

Bureau County BoardPRINCETON — The Bureau County Board con-

ducted the following business at its May 13 meet-ing at the Bureau County Courthouse in Princeton:

• Approved salary increases for the positions of county clerk, county treasurer, circuit clerk and sheriff, as presented by Fees and Salaries Com-mittee Chairman Marshann Entwhistle. The raises will be 3.5 percent in each of the 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, followed by a 3.0 percent increase in each of the 2017 and 2018 fiscal years. The posi-tions are elected positions for four-year terms.

• Re-appointed Eldon Ross and Janice Becker as trustees for the Greenfield Cemetery Asso-ciation; Dan Whitlock as a commissioner to the Bureau County Housing Authority Board; and Terry Linning as a trustee to the Ladd Fire Protec-tion District.

• Re-appointed Richard Koch as a trustee to the Arlington Fire Protection District; and Dennis Mis-cevic and Bill Lane to the Board of Review.

• Heard from BuEComm director Diana Stiles who asked board members to contact their leg-islators in opposition of Senate Bill 2674 which proposes taking some of E 9-1-1 funding and giving it to the Poison Control fund. E-9-1-1 has no problem with Poison Control and supports its validity, but does not want 9-1-1 money taken for it, Stiles said.

• Approved a proposal from Butler Insurance for RFP of medical coverage at the same cost as last time, $8,000. The board also approved Law-yer’s Professional Liability insurance premium and renewal from Dimond Bros. for $3,578 for the public defender. The county will get a $275 rebate from CIRMA of workman’s comp insurance, as reported by Insurance Committee Chairman Mike Kohr.

• Reviewed the annual report for the Bureau/Putnam County Health Department, as presented by Loretta Volker. There are many ways in which the health department touches the lives of the citizens in the two-county area, she said. Some of those ways are through Medical Reserve Corps volunteer group, the anti-tobacco Tar War contest for students, the Community Partners Against Substance Abuse (CPASA) and the local search and rescue team which helps on horseback with search and rescue efforts.

John Ford and ‘Cheyenne Autumn’

By Bartlett lee KassaBaumSpecial to the BCR

If I knew then what I know now, this one might have been a lot easier. These words are swimming in my head as I write this story on Richard Widmark. I was stationed for a few years at Ft. Monmouth, N.J., at Eaton-town, in the U.S. Army. This was 1968 to 1971. On several occasions I made trips to Bridgeport, Conn., with an Army buddy whose home was there. It did not take me long to find out how close all destinations are when in the northeast part of our country. I trav-eled all over the New England states and up and down most of the East Coast.

Roxbury, Conn., is less than an hour away from Bridgeport. Widmark had friends in this part of the state and liked the area. The Widmark family bought their almost nine-acre country farm in Roxbury in the mid-1960s. They had homes on both coasts now. The house, built in 1917, was a sprawl-ing, shake shingle, 2,500-square-foot rustic Litchfield home, set in a spa-cious level open meadow, surrounded by mature gardens. The property also included a one-room schoolhouse on an additional four acres that Widmark and his daughter Anne eventually donated in 1997 to the Roxbury Land Trust in memory of his late wife, Jean Widmark, who died that same year. This is the Widmark Preserve. They purchased and donated another 22 acres later on in 2004. I missed this little bit of “Eden” back then, though I’ve seen the property now on the Internet. I was a different person then, with other priorities, so I didn’t know how close I was to giving my own future something tangible to look back on. The 8.75-acre farm sold for $1,200,000 in 2012. Like I said, this might have been a lot easier.

The genesis for the movie “Chey-enne Autumn” was research Widmark had done in the early 1960s at Yale University (also less than an hour from Roxbury, in New Haven) into the suffering of the Cheyenne Indians. Widmark was a very curious well-read person with an insatiable appetite for news and the hopeful betterment of his fellow man. He showed his work to John Ford, and two years later, Ford sent Widmark a finished screenplay. Ford wanted to do another picture with Widmark after directing him in “Two Rode Together” (1961).

Ford made “Cheyenne Autumn” in 1964 starring Widmark, Carroll Baker, and a cast that just couldn’t get much better. Karl Malden, Edward G. Robinson, James Stewart, Arthur Kennedy, Victor Jory, Ricardo Montal-ban, Gilbert Roland, Harry Carey Jr., Ken Curtis, Ben Johnson, Sal Mineo, Deloris del Rio, John Carradine, Mike Mazurki, Patrick Wayne, John Qualen, and the amazing Mae Marsh, along with the Ford Company stock players bring this tale to life. I actually met one of the cast, Karl Malden, on the other coast in San Diego, Calif. Mal-den and Widmark were good friends since when they were both in radio in the late ‘30s and early ‘40s.

Malden and Widmark made six movies together. In the summer of 1976, my older brother and I made a trek to visit another brother who was living on Coronado Island off the coast of San Diego. We took a southern route out and came back through the northern part of the country. We took in San Diego’s Sea World one day and had these girls diving for pearls for us.

I was making a trip along a long pool heading to the restroom. A man in a porkpie hat, loud Hawaiian shirt, and large sunglasses, was coming right toward me. I knew that nose. I just kept staring. I stopped, and the guy says, “Yeah, It’s me, buddy boy.” and he stopped. “Karl Malden,” I said. He nodded yes, I said I was a fan of his work, and I watched his tele-vision show. We chatted for prob-ably less than a minute. I was kind of dumb struck and only remem-ber for sure that he was making his TV series, “The Streets of San Francisco,” just up the coast at the time. I thought of all the questions I should have asked him a lot later. I guess that made me zero for two then.

“Cheyenne Autumn” takes place in 1878, where chiefs Lit-tle Wolf (Ricardo Montalban) and Dull Knife (Gil-bert Roland) lead over 300 starved and weary Chey-enne on a 1,500-mile journey from their reservation in the Oklahoma territory to their ancestral hunting ground homeland in Yellowstone, Wyo. The government has failed to deliver the meager supplies due by treaty to the proud Cheyenne in their barren desert encampment. The starving Indians have taken more abuse than it’s worth, and so they also break the accord. The government sees this as an act of rebellion, and the sympathetic Captain Thomas Archer (Widmark) is forced to lead his troops in an attempt to stop the tribe.

The press misrepresents the native’s motives for their trek as a malicious act. Secretary of the Interior Carl Sch-urz (Edward G. Robinson) tries to pre-vent violence from erupting between the Army and the Indians. During the hunt Captain Archer grows to respect the noble courage of the Cheyenne and decides to help them. James Stewart is cast as Wyatt Earp, and Carroll Baker plays a pacifist school teacher who is Archer’s (Widmark) love interest.

Most of the location filming was done in Monument Valley and Moab, Utah, but the snow sequences were actually shot on the Double Tree Ranch in Gunnison, Colo. The historic mountain valley ranch was discov-ered by Ford. He filmed part of “The Searchers” (1956) there, and it would also serve as a stand in for the Okla-homa-Wyoming winter landscape in this film.

This was to be Ford’s last western, and he was saying goodbye to the landscapes that he brought to the screen for movie-goers for almost 30 years. He also wanted to direct James Stewart one last time, and so the Dodge City card playing scene with Arthur Kennedy (Doc Holliday) and Ford regular John Carradine (Jeff

Blair) is kind of stuck in the movie to offer a little light-hearted relief.

I previously wrote about the way Ford could be during the filming of any of his movies, and the antics were no different during the making

of “Cheyenne Autumn.” Widmark still liked working with Ford, and he knew better than to fall for his little games. He would also not put up with anything that Ford decided to push to the limit. Ford had this habit of pick-ing one actor that he would ride the entire film. Actor Mike Mazurki was the unfortunate goat on this film. He was a former pro-fessional wrestler, and his filmography is impressive. He and Widmark had made the film noir classic “Night and the City” (1950) where he played a wrestler called “The Strangler.” His film persona and whiskey voice are instantly recogniz-able to even the occasional film buff. Ford was shooting a scene, one too many times, with Wid-mark, an officer, and Mazurki, a sergeant, where they are riding along at the head

of a column. Widmark dis-

covers a whiskey bottle in Mazurki’s saddlebag. Ford had been relentlessly picking on Mazurki the whole movie. Widmark was fed up with it. Ford tells Widmark to hold the whiskey bottle “Up higher, so the camera can see it,” and he yelled back at Ford, “You mean like this?” smashing the bottle against a big rock. The contents of the bottle splattered all over the place, scaring the horses, and even making Ford jump. He was telling Ford to let up on Mazurki. Widmark got off his horse, picked up his chair, walked across the desert, and sat in it. It became deadly silent for a long time. Ford finally spoke in a soft voice with mock awe, “What a terrible tem-per.” A pot calling the kettle black. Five more minutes of silence went by with Widmark sitting in his chair, back to everyone. Ford finally got up, walked over to Widmark, leaned over him, and with his hand, tickled him under the chin, “Kootchie ... Kootchie ... Koo.” Widmark let go with his famous laugh and came back to work. Ford left Mazurki alone for the rest of the filming.

Widmark said of Ford later on, “Underneath, he was a very complex guy. He was a nut-ball, but I was fond of him.”

Well, it’s time to get this prairie dust out of our throats for awhile and head back east to Princeton. We can get back to Widmark’s career later. I think a doughnut and cup of coffee are in order, so I’ll take a look at the Widmark bakery, and we’ll see what was going on with him growing up with the movies.

Badges of honor

Richard Widmark: A Princeton legend

Every year, the newspaper publishes its annual section featuring high school graduates. I find myself studying the faces of these young men and women. I can’t help but think of all the hopes and dreams each one of those photographs holds.

And so it was one day this week as I was getting ready for work, when those youthful faces returned to my mind. Standing before the mirror, I couldn’t help but examine my own not-so-youthful face; an image of my own senior photo returning.

The differences?Then: A young girl with smooth, peaches and

cream skin; eyes that were bright that could envi-sion hopes and dreams; healthy and shiny hair that held traces of a summer sun; a smile — genu-ine and unrehearsed; an 18-year-old young lady who had the world by the tail.

Now: Wrinkles; well-defined crow’s feet which I prefer to call laugh lines; a few furrows on my forehead; eyes that look tired; hair that has that summer sun applied; a smile — still genuine but seen a lot less frequently ... Other things that looked back at me: Expressions that are often wor-ried, concerned, stressed. And the scar — that ugly scar on my neck that cancer put there — the scar that ultimately saved my life.

More than 30 years separate those two images, and for a moment, I was taken back by the chang-es. For a moment, my heart hurt, ached for what was and the precious dreams that were never real-ized. The memories almost overtook me.

But wait a minute ... I can do one of two things: Begin that exhausting journey down Memory Lane ... or I can decide to remain in the present and take a good hard look at the reflection before me. I decide on the latter, and this is who I see ...

OK, there are some wrinkles. Yes, I’ve thought about a little nip and tuck, but I’ve earned every one of those wrinkles. Besides, they match the crow’s feet very well — whether they came from squinting in the sun, frowning at this computer screen, or laughing in the literal face of it all. The furrows on my forehead? They live there in the disbelief that created them. My eyes look tired because, quite frankly, they are. And the hair? Well, let’s just say the days of having the sun bleach out my hair while tanning my skin are long gone. My sun-streaked hair now lives in a bottle at the salon with Ms. Clare.

And then there are the expressions that live in the mirror-reflected image. Of course I’m wor-ried, stressed out, concerned. I’m an adult now, and those seem to be the prerequisites. And then there’s the scar; the scar that made me grow up really quickly. The scar that made everything else pale in comparison. The scar I see that still can bring tears to my eyes — not because of the actual scar but because of what it represents.

You know, my friends, there are days when I would give about anything to return to those senior picture days — a place in time when the worries and woes of the world were few.

But on the other hand, I study my image in the mirror today, and while I can see about a bazillion things I’d like to improve, I’m fairly content to wear those wrinkles, those crow’s feet, those fur-rows ... even that dreadful yet beloved scar. You see, I’ve earned them all. They are my badges of honor.

Life has a way of changing us, both inside and out. While the image that stares back at me doesn’t hold the youthful qualities of yesteryear, I believe what lives inside is far more appealing than what I had to offer 30-some years ago.

May today’s graduates relish each moment, embrace each day. And as they look toward the future, may they realize that what lives inside them is really all that counts. The wrinkles, the furrows, even the scars are just the evidence of a life well-lived.

And my words to this year’s Class of 2014: May you wear your badges of honor proudly.

The Beach Boys made their debut 50 years ago and have been known for their unique sound by multiple generations. The concert will be on Thursday, Aug. 21, during the 159th annual Bureau County Fair.

Tickets will go on sale at 9 a.m. June 7 and you can come out and stand in line and buy them at the fairgrounds that day. You can also order them online at www.bureau-countyfair.com or call the fair office at 815-875-2905 to order over the phone. All seats are reserved and the fair fills the orders on the “best seat available” process.

The Gold Circle seats are $37 and they are the prime center section seats on the track and in the box seats. They always sell out fast. The reserved track seats and box seats are $32 each and the grand-stand seats are $27 each. Every ticket includes gate admission to the fair. The tickets are expected to sell quickly this year so break out your Hawaiian shirts and get your tickets now. Many people who have said they haven’t been to the fair for several years are planning on coming to this fun filled night.

Start planning your entries for the 159th annu-al fair now. The fairbook will be on the fair’s web page soon. There you can see the classes for every-thing from hobbies and collections to baking and floral entries, as well as all of the livestock classes.

Please note the changes to the entry due dates for fine arts.

There’s a week full of fun planned for the Bureau County Fair start-ing on Wednesday, Aug. 20. That night in the grandstand will be the antique tractor pull. Be sure to stop and watch all of the daily free entertain-ment. This year Johnny Rockett and Galaxy Girl will dazzle and thrill audi-ences with the Cybertrons sky cycle towering over 40 feet in the air. Johnny Rockett continually drives his motorcycle around the disk keeping Galaxy Girl in constant motion around the track as she performs on the aerial trapeze attached to the motor-cycle. Magic Matt’s Family Fun show will have several shows scheduled each day with balloon artistry and sleight of hand tricks. There will be free musi-cal entertainment in the hospitality tent every day of the fair, with the talent show there on Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. The chain saw carver will be creating beautiful sculp-tures out of logs daily.

Rodeo fans will enjoy bull riding presented by Latting Rodeo on Friday, Aug. 22. It has been 10 years since bulls and cow-boys hit the dirt during the fair. This year’s event is sanctioned by the South-ern Extreme Bull Riding Association (SEBRA) and it’s going to have some outstanding bucking action.

Saturday is always a fun day to go to the fair. The horse speed show will be running all day long in McCutchan Arena. Their contestants will compete

in barrel racing, the flag race and pole bending with classes for kids and adults. The tractor pulls will run late into the eve-ning with high powered pull tractors and trucks.

On Sunday, Aug. 24, the youngsters will be able to participate in a rodeo of their own. The Lil’ Wran-glers Rodeo will be held in the building next to the east gate. The kids will be able to participate in the stick horse barrel race; chicken herding; greased pig catching contest and the popular mutton bus-tin’. During the mutton bustin’, the kids come out of the rodeo chute hug-ging the neck of a sheep and riding for as long as they can. Registration information will be avail-able on the fair’s web page in July. Sunday will start with a community church service in the grandstand followed by free watermel-on in the hospitality tent in the afternoon. The draft horse show and the open horse show will be held in the McCutchan Arena starting at 10 a.m. Sunday. Last blast carnival arm-bands run until 6 p.m. for everyone to get their last chance to spin around and around. The grandstand is always full to overflow-ing on Sunday night as the Fair wraps up with the demolition derby.

Edward Jones honored

Hopkins & Associates has successful review

Ag summary

The financial-services firm Edward Jones won the 2014 TNS Choice Award for outstanding performance in invest-ment services, according to TNS, a global research consultancy.

The TNS Choice Awards recognize financial-ser-vices firms and banks that outperform their competitors in acquiring, retaining and developing clients.

The selection of Edward Jones was based on data provided by more than 6,900 U.S. households with $100,000 or more in investable assets who participated in TNS’

Affluent Market Research Program. The analysis considered several mea-sures of client acquisition, retention, satisfaction, and client loyalty across a comprehensive set of competing firms to iden-tify top performers. Study results are based on expe-riences and perceptions of consumers surveyed.

The global research consultancy states that Edward Jones’ superior client experience is based on strong advisor rela-tionships and an exten-sive branch network of 13,000 financial advisors. The firm earns high client satisfaction scores, which

is rewarded with remark-ably strong client reten-tion, according to TNS.

TNS advises clients on specific growth strate-gies around new market entry, innovation, brand switching and stakehold-er management, based on long-established expertise and market-leading solutions. With a presence in more than 80 countries, TNS has more conversations with the world’s consumers than anyone else and under-stands individual human behaviors and attitudes across every cultural, economic and political region of the world.

GRANVILLE — Hop-kins & Associates CPAs, with offices in Granville, Peru and Princeton, announced it has suc-cessfully completed a rig-orous peer review of its accounting and auditing practice.

The reviewer conclud-ed that the firm’s system of quality control for the accounting and audit-ing practice in effect for the year ended June 30, 2013, has been suit-ably designed and com-plied with to provide reasonable assurance of performing and report-ing in conformity with applicable professional

Making quick workBy Jeff SchleSinger

[email protected]

TISKILWA — The Princeton Tigresses made quick work of the DePue Little Giants in the semifinal game at the Tiskilwa soccer pitch on Wednesday night advancing to the regional final on Friday.

The win was not unex-pected, but the Tigresses came out and attacked early and often as they cruised to a 15-0 victory.

Senior forward Michelle Kelly, as she has done often this year, got the scoring started with an unassisted goal just into the fourth minute of the game.

Sophomore Eliza Young followed that up with a “three minute hat trick,” scoring in the sixth minute (assist by Keyana Altizer), eighth minute (assist Elizabeth Stites) and ninth minute (assist Sarah Murray).

“I haven’t scored that quickly since PYSL,” Young said of her Princ-eton Youth Soccer League days. “I was able to manipulate the ball around the defenders and there were a lot of open lanes. Liz (Stites) really had a nice cross.”

The rout was on at that point with the Tigresses pouring in nine more goals before the conclu-sion of the half, includ-

ing consecutive goals by freshman Michaela Mall, and juniors Kim Schlesinger and Taylor Tiemann.

The second half found the Tigresses playing possession, limiting themselves to two goals.

The final goal of the game was scored by senior Lindsay Hartwig. The back-up goalie for the last three seasons, Hartwig has not had many opportunities to see game action.

“It was really fun,” said Hartwig. “From the beginning of the second half, we were trying to get everyone a goal who hadn’t had a goal. It was fun because people were cheering for me from the benches and everyone was feeding me.”

NotebookHall, A/W combine for 35 strikeouts in 11 innings

By Kevin [email protected]

Anyone keeping track of strikeouts at Wednesday’s baseball game at Annawan would have ran out of the letter Ks after 11 innings of play.

Between them, four pitch-ers for Hall and Annawan/Wethersfield combined for

35 strikeouts. A/W starter Tom Jenkins struck out 20 alone over 10 innings in a non-decision. Hall starter Julian Barroso had seven Ks over 6.2 innings and winning pitcher A.J. Gaeta fanned six in 3.1 innings of relief.

Hall coach Tom Keegan said it’s the first time he’s every been a part of some-thing like that.

“Their coach said Jenkins has put up some unbeliev-able numbers (this year). He’s got good velocity with good movement,” he said.

Jenkins, a left-hander, has full command of four pitches, A/W coach Jeff Parsons said, including an impressive heater, which has been clocked at 90 miles per hour. On the year, Jen-

kins has fanned 116 batters in 60 innings, including an 18-strikeout effort in 10 innings against West Prairie. He sports a 0.70 ERA.

“He is the kid that pitched us to the Sweet Sixteen in 2A,” Parsons said.

Jenkins has a full schol-arship offer to Parkland in Champaign and coach Dave Garcia.

After all the strikeouts, the Red Devils (19-4) pushed across the winning-run in the top of the 11th on a steal of home by Miguel Villar-eal to take the game 2-1. He waited for the catcher to throw to the pitcher and beat the return throw to the plate.

MANLIUS — Everything went according to the game plan for Bureau Valley’s Lind-sey Hoffert.

She won the long jump competition and anchored three Storm relays to state-qualifying runs in Thursday’s Bureau Valley 1A Sectional Track and Field Meet under the turbine and rain-soaked skies. They will all go to Charleston along with team-mate Sydney Lebahn (discus), Hall’s Maddi Quinn (pole vault) and Amboy/LaMoille’s Erika Zimmerlein (200), Laura Rieker (high jump) and Megan Grady (3200).

“I was always hoping for four and we’ve been work-ing hard to get four of them down there, our relays espe-cially. I can’t even say how good it feels,” said Hoffert, who received a bear hug from her brother, Logan, a past BV state qualifier, after the com-pletion of her 4x400 anchor.

The Storm placed second in the 4x200 (1:50.17) with fresh-man Marissa Mungia and Tianna Kennedy, joining Hof-fert and senior Katelyn John-son and second in the 4x400 (4:11.89) with Helena Osk Arnadottir, a foreign exchange student from Iceland, fresh-man Sabrina Webb, Kennedy and Hoffert. BV qualified on time in the 4x100 relay with a time of 51.83 on the legs of junior Haley DeVoss, Ken-nedy, Mungia and Hoffert.

It was all about team effort, said Hoffert, noting it’s an honor to anchor all the relays and it’s by design because “I’m bad at handing off.

“We’ve worked hard on handoffs and handoffs and handoffs. Just working together an motivating each other. Keeping our heads in it and getting handoffs were key. It worked,” said Hoffert.

“I’m so extremely proud of our freshmen, especially, for just keeping their heads in it. So proud of all our relays, especially in this weather, and our entire team and everyone

who made it.”BV coach Dale Donner said it

was great to see three relays qual-ify and run a season’s best in the 4x100.

“In the 4x200 we ran a real strong race, and by then the temp had started to drop and I was starting to worry about times, but not only did we finish second, but we also ran qualifying time,” he said. “In the 4x400, we had Helena and Sabrina run their best times of the year.”

In the long jump, Hoffert said she just wanted to take care of business in the prelims, land-ing a state qualifier of 16-10 1/2. Once she did that, she skipped the finals, not wanting to risk run-ning through the puddles in the runway.

“I wanted to get a good jump early so that maybe I wouldn’t have to jump finals, and I did so I wouldn’t waste my legs,” she said. “I was pushing to get qualifying and that’s what I did, now I just got to work more to get 17s.”

The Storm’s Lebahn had a win-ning throw of 113-5 in the discus, nearly 10 feet farther than runner-up Ashten Sherman of Riverdale.

“Sydney really stepped up in the disc,” BV coach Dale Donner said. “In the weather we had, to watch her navigate the discus ring was very impressive. She did not let the rain influence her footwork at all.”

It was a good news, bad news kind of night for Hall’s Quinn. She took first place in the pole vault, but clipped a hurdle in the 100s and failed to qualify.

“I’m really glad I could make it in pole vault, because that was one of my goals definitely this year. Hurdles, I’m actually really disappointed. I did hit a hurdle really hard, but that’s just my goal for next year, because I have made qualifying. It happens. The weather’s really bad, but I’m glad I could make it in the pole vault.”

The petite freshman cleared 9-3 to win the pole vault, or nearly than twice her own height. She took the qualifying mark and stopped with a first-place finish.

She admitted when the bar gets to a certain height, “it is a little frightening.”

While she didn’t match her sea-son best and qualifying mark of 5-2, Rieker soared to 5-0 to tie for second place with Kewanee’s Rea-shonda Chandler, both advancing to State. Hall’s Jenna Lusietto also cleared 5-0, but took fourth on the tie-breaker for misses.

A/L coach Bob Halberg was happy to see Rieker return to

State after missing out last year.“Laura has really been working

hard on her technique this year, and it has improved her consis-tency as well as her confidence. It is always a good feeling to see your seniors come through in the clutch,” he said.

The sophomore Zimmerlein came out for track for the first time this year and has taken to the sprints fast. She beat out New-man’s Mary Jensen (27.64) with a top time of 27.49.

Zimmerlein’s night, however, ended on a sour note. She took part in the Lady Clippers’ 4x100 relay that was initially ruled to have been disqualified for run-ning out of a lane. It was later determined there was no infrac-tion, but the damage had been as Pankhurst was told to slow down on the final leg. They still placed third with a time of 1:52.8.

After much discussion, Halberg was able to get his relay crew an extra run by themselves at the conclusion of the meet, although he didn’t think it was the fairest of moves, considering they had to run alone in the rain.

Two of Halberg’s runners, Zim-merlein and Katelyn Pankhurst, had already run six events in the cold and rainy conditions. Hal-berg scratched the Lady Clip-pers in the final event leading up to their rerun, the 1600 relay. When it was all said and done, the Lady Clippers, including Hannah Grady and Kaitlyn Boers, turned in a 1:53 running alone in the rain, which had just started to become more substantial.

“I will give my girls credit. I left the decision to run up to them, and they ran their hearts out. They will all be returning next year, and we will be running with a big chip on our shoulder,

“We didn’t get the time we wanted, but as a team, we won in our mind,” Zimmerlein said.

When asked about winning the 200, Zimmerlein, said, it’s OK, “but I’d rather take my team with me.”

Amboy freshman Megan Grady finished second in the 3200 (11:45.28). Putnam County’s Paige Griffith also qualified with a second-place time of 48.24 in the 300 hurdles.

• Notes: Annawan/Wethersfield (108) beat Three Rivers Confer-ence champ Erie/Prophetstown (81) for the team championship. Henry (70) was third, BV (60) fourth, Hall (51) fifth and Amboy/LaMoille (48) sixth. … The 1A prelims will be held Thursday at O’Brien Stadium on the campus of Eastern Illinois University in Charleston.

Hartwig has rarely played the field since she entered high school and didn’t even do so that much in her final years for the park district. The goal was a fitting reward for someone whose contributions to the team have gone unnoticed by the public for so long.

“It’s not necessarily a new expe-rience,” said Hartwig, “but it’s newish.”

Though the Tigresses were flying high after this one, their next chal-lenge is the one they’ve been antic-ipating – a regional final matchup against Rock Island Alleman, the team which eliminated them last year and beat them 6-1 earlier this year.

For results of that match, visit www.bcrnews.com/sports and Tuesday’s BCR.

One of their main challenges against Alleman was to push the ball and score. Schlesinger, who scored her two goals within about 50 seconds, says the team had guarded confidence going into the championship.

“The 4-3-3 lineup – 3 forwards plus an attacking center mid – helps (the scoring) a lot,” she said. “It creates extra space for Eliza and Michelle and Keyanna to run on (goal) and for us to run in on cross-es and stuff.”

Not only will the Tigresses need to score against Alleman, they will need to effectively possess the ball, keeping it away from the speedy and talented forwards and outside midfielders of the Pioneers.

“Coach Gray was saying that it

is the same movements and same possessions (as we did in the sec-ond half),” Schlesinger said, “just a lot faster against a better team. So if we can think about it that way we can pick up the pace against Alleman.

“We all really want to beat Alle-man,” she added. “We’ve come a long way. We feel as if it’s possible. It depends on how we feel on Fri-day and how we come out.”

For coach Ed Young, it is Friday’s match that will define the entire season.

“I feel like we have a tough chal-lenge in front of us,” he said, “but we have been preparing for this game all year. Our whole season has been preparing to get to this match and to play Alleman the best that our system allows us to.”


Gaeta each had two hits for the Red Devils, Gaeta driving in Venegas with a base knock in the first.

AW had a two-out, two-strike hit to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh.

• Go-Go Tigers: In 1959, the American League champion Chicago White Sox were known as the Go Go Sox. The same moniker could be used for the Princeton Tigers.

The Tigers have now swiped 123 bases this year, breaking the school record of 96 set in 2002. Seniors Isaiah Taylor (23 SBs) and J.J. Vaccaro (18) soph Jake Reinhardt (20) lead the base thievery.

Baseball regionals: Bureau Valley hosts the local 2A baseball regional, but will travel to St. Bede for a quarterfinal meeting Monday at 4:30 p.m. Their winner will face top-seeded Hall at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday in Manlius.

LaMoille/Ohio hosts a play-in game of the Put-nam County 1A regional, facing Earlville/Leland at 4:30 p.m. Monday. Their winner advances to Wednesday’s semifinals at Jenkins Field in Gran-ville to face the top-seeded Panthers. By winning the regional, PC would be rewarded by getting to stay on its home field for sectionals.

Softball regionals: The St. Bede 2A softball regional gets underway Monday when the No. 4 and defending champions Lady Bruins host No. 5 Bureau Valley at 4:30 p.m. Their winner lands top-seeded Seneca at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. On Wednes-day, No. 2 Hall faces No. 3 Princeton.

BCR insider: Princeton would likely have to get past an E/P team which beat them 7-3 to have a shot at Hall in the regional finals. Hall coach Tom Keegan said his top-seeded Red Devils just need to get “guys on” and put all three facets together - pitching, defense and offense - “and if you don’t you’re going home.” … PHS coach Tim Taylor likes his team’s chances, believing they have as good as shot as anyone. “Quiet frankly we played Hall to extra innings to a one-run game and they’re the number one seed. We’ve got teams that we potentially will play in the second game and I think we can play with anyone in our region. I’m not going down without a fight until the end. I’ve got five seniors that want to keep playing and I’ve got a bunch of underclassmen that want to support and just go win games.”

Hall coach Tom Keegan says: “I know it’s an old cliché’ and this is coach talk and all that stuff but anyone can win it, seriously, when you look at St. Bede they’re playing really well right now, Princeton, they’re very good and Proph-etstown can put it all together too so it’s going to be an interesting week and you better show up ready to play or because if you’re not ready you’re going home.”

Illinois DNR asks for public’s help to make 2014 the safest boating season in 50 years

SPRINGFIELD — Fifty years ago, Illinois began keeping boat accident sta-tistics, and Illinois Depart-ment of Natural Resources Director Marc Miller is asking the public to help make the 2014 boating season one to remember, for being the safest since accident statistics first were recorded in 1964.

The IDNR is also launch-ing a radio ad campaign throughout the state in both English and Spanish designed to remind every-one to “Wear It, Always Wear Your Life Jacket!” — the theme for National Safe Boating Week, which runs from May 17-23.

While a variety of fac-tors contribute to the fluctuation in the num-ber of boating accidents, including weather and water levels, public edu-cation and preparedness remains top reasons why accidents and fatalities have dropped significantly on Illinois waters since the mid-1990s.

“We have come a long way in 50 years in improv-

ing safety with boating education and tougher laws, but we can still do better. Take a boating safe-ty class, always wear your life jacket, and never drink before or while operating a boat,” said IDNR Director Miller. “With a little prepa-ration and common sense, together we can make this boating season the safest in 50 years.”

In 2001, Illinois saw the fewest boating fatalities in recorded history with eight. In 2013, 50 people were injured and 14 people lost their lives as a result of 65 reported boating acci-dents on Illinois waters.

Illinois has seen the number of fatalities drop from an average of 46 per year in the 1960s to 19 per year since 2000. Much of the drop in the number of fatalities can be attributed to tougher laws and the availability of safety edu-cation classes.

On Friday, Illinois Con-servation Police (CPOs) were at locations through-out the state performing courtesy boat inspections

to help prepare boat own-ers for the 2014 season. CPOs did not write tick-ets during the free safety checks on that day, but went through a safety checklist that included working life jackets, fire extinguishers, navigation lights and battery covers. Officers were also be avail-able to answer any ques-tions about boat registra-tions and titles or water usage stamps.

“Our job is to help peo-ple stay safe, and letting them know if their boat is in compliance and work-ing properly without fear of a fine or ticket is a great way to start off the boat-ing season,” said Illinois Conservation Police Chief Rafael Gutierrez.

State law requires that anyone under the age of 13 must wear a life jacket while aboard any water-craft under 26 feet in length at all times the boat is underway, unless they are below deck in an enclosed cabin or operat-ing on private property. Illinois law also requires

persons of any age to wear a PFD while operating a personal watercraft or jet ski.

Among the primary causes of boating acci-dents are operator inat-tention, alcohol use, care-less/reckless operation, and operator inexperi-ence. The IDNR offers free boating safety courses providing a review of boat-ing laws and regulations and instruction on safe and attentive operation of watercraft.

State law requires boat-ing safety education for persons ages 12 to 17 to operate a motor boat, and encourages boaters of all ages to take a safety course. Safety courses, which are taught by volunteer instructors, are available throughout Illinois and schedules are available by calling 800-832-2599 or by checking the links on the IDNR website’s boating information page.

Online boat safety courses are also available for a fee charged by the course operator.

Sunset Ridge MX will host ATV Showdown

WALNUT — The Moun-tain Dew ATV Motocross National Champion-ship, sanctioned by AMA (ATVMX), is the world’s longest-running and most prestigious ATV racing series. The 2014 season marks the 30th year of this truly unique champion-ship, which will visit some of the most well-known motocross tracks in the country over the course of a nine-round schedule that will ultimately crown a national champion.

On May 31 and June 1, Walnut’s Sunset Ridge MX will host the fourth round of the 2014 season with the AMSOIL ATV Showdown. Hundreds of riders from across the country will con-verge on the facility for two days of rugged competition for both professionals and amateurs alike.

Sunset Ridge MX is truly a wide-open track. With man-made jumps and sweeping turns, it offers lots of room to move around. Wide bowl turns can be found here, which lend themselves to high

speeds, while the soil is sandy and can rob riders of dearly needed horsepower. This is more of a techni-cal track that favors very skilled riders.

This northeastern Illi-nois facility is a real racers’ favorite, and it offers excel-lent views of the action for the fans. Sunset Ridge also serves as the home track for defending ATVMX Cham-pion Chad Wienen, and his fan base will be sure to turn out in great numbers and make plenty of noise for their local hero.

Saturday’s schedule will be: 11 a.m., practice and qualifying; 2:30 p.m., open-ing ceremonies; and 3 p.m., ATV Pro Motos (2). Sun-day’s events will feature amateur racing beginning at 9 a.m. Tickets: Thursday-Sunday are $40 for adults, $25 for kids; Friday-Sun-day, $35 for adults, $25 for kids; Saturday-Sunday, $30 for adults, $15 for kids; Sat-urday, $20 for adults, $10 for kids; and Sunday, $15 for adults, $10 for kids. Kids ages are 6-11; kids 5 and under are free.
