The state of Illinois has the distinction of being the second flattest state in the country, surpassed in flatness only by the state of Florida.

University of Kansas geologist Jerome Dob-son and Joshua Camp-bell completed the recent study, which included a survey asking Americans which state they thought was the flattest state in the country. Thirty-three percent of those sur-

veyed chose Kansas as the flattest state, followed by 23 percent choosing Flori-da as the flattest state.

The study addresses the question as to why a state like Kansas appears to be flatter than Illinois. Could it be that drivers travel-ing east-to-west can get across Illinois faster than Kansas, since Illinois is longer north-to-south? Since Kansas is more wide

than long, it appears to have more flat land, the study states.

As reported in the study, a detailed calculation sys-tem was used to deter-mine the percentage of land mass in each state in the flat, flatter and flattest categories.

Florida has 52 percent of its land categorized in the flat, flatter and flattest lev-els. Illinois followed close

behind at 50 percent. Rounding out the Top 5 were North Dakota at 49 percent; Louisiana at 47 percent; and Minnesota at 47 percent. Kansas came in as No. 7, having 44 per-cent of its land determined in some level of flatness.

In an interview with the Bureau County Republi-can, study co-author Jerry Dobson said he predicted Florida would be the flat-

test state in the country and that Kansas would not be in the Top 5. He also predicted the coastal states, with only a corner in the mountains, like South Carolina, would rank high.

“I sort of predicted Illi-nois would rank No. 2. What I actually said was ‘Central Illinois is the flat-

BUDA — A Bureau County man is experiencing a different side of Iraq than just the military and political unrest often seen and chronicled on American television.

Dane Barnett, 21, of Buda is spending two months this sum-mer in Iraq, serving an intern-ship with the Preemptive Love Coalition, an organization that provides heart surgeries to Iraqi children.

A 2010 graduate of Bureau Val-ley High School in Manlius, Bar-nett became involved with the

Preemptive Love Coalition as a sophomore at Cedarville Univer-sity in Cedarville, Ohio. Barnett sat on the committee in charge of fundraising for the organi-zation by the Cedarville study body.

Though he can’t give specif-ics, Barnett did say he is located in northwestern Iraq, having arrived about four weeks ago and scheduled to leave on July 24.

As an intern, his duties are to write and edit newsletters for the Preemptive Love Coalition and to create a system which organizes donors in a way so the organization can stay more connected with them in the future, Barnett said. The interns also build relationships with the Kurds to enhance the interns’ cultural experience.

PRINCETON — Summer officially began last Sat-urday, and the Princeton Chamber of Commerce has teamed up with the Bureau County Republi-can this year to put on this season’s popular shopping event — Summer Solstice.

Grab a friend or plan a group outing for this occa-sion, set for Friday, June 27. Chamber of Commerce Director Kim Frey said due to the success of last year’s event, they’ve decided to make it an annual summer affair.

“Generally people are looking forward to kicking off the start of summer, this year more than ever. Our goal is to bring adven-ture seekers from near and far to our Main Street to enjoy an evening of wine and food tasting while shopping,” she said.

More than 25 Chamber businesses will keep their doors open past normal business hours to provide participants a chance to shop great deals, try new wines and foods, and pro-vide a chance for shoppers to win a Chamber gift card.

This year’s event will feature new participating businesses including HC Craft Mall and Antiques, Juniper & Mae and Cus-tom Threads. There will also be long-time favor-ite Princeton businesses new to the event including Guys and Gals Salon and Lodestone.

PRINCETON — At this week’s Beef and Ag Days in Princeton, the Bureau County Farm Bureau, Bureau County Pork Producers Association and the Bureau County Cattleman’s Association awarded the 2014 Bureau County Agricultural Ser-vice Award to Jim Rapp.

The purpose for this award, the Agricultural Service Award, is to pro-vide an opportunity for Bureau County agricul-tural organizations and businesses to honor indi-viduals who have given exemplary leadership and service to agriculture and farmers in Bureau County and beyond.

To qualify, a nominee must be a resident of Bureau County who has given exemplary leader-ship and service to agri-culture in Bureau County and/or a broad segment of the region, state or nation. A nominee must have provided service to agriculture but may come from disciplines that serve

other areas in addition to agriculture i.e. educa-tion, research, public rela-tions, agribusiness, public affairs and other areas. Such individuals should also have a history of giv-ing time and/or resourc-es to promote the aims, programs and services of Bureau County agricul-tural organizations.

According to the Farm Bureau, the nominating organization, they wanted to honor Jim for all of his achievements in advanc-ing agriculture through his leadership during a lifetime of “loving what he does best” … farming.

Rapp began his “farm-ing career” as a small child growing up on the fam-

ily farm in Bureau Coun-ty. During that time that he earned his bachelor’s degree in farm manage-ment at SIU; he also returned home to help with the work of plant-ing and harvesting in the spring and fall. In his early years of farming, he was a Bureau County Farm Bureau director for six years, and during that time he also was a member of the Illinois Air National Guard. He has also been a member of the ASCS/Farm Service Agency for six years and a 20-year Bureau County Board of Appeals member serving on the Zoning Board.

Rapp has been very active in Illinois Corn Growers, where he served as Illinois Corn Growers secretary, treasurer, vice chairman and finally chair-man of the Illinois Corn Growers for a term of one year. He also served on the Associate Board for Corn Growers for six years and on the Marketing Board for seven to eight years.

He has served on the Corn Growers National commit-tees such as the ethanol committee and grower ser-vices.

Rapp also has served on the U.S. Grains Council as part of the Asian Team which promotes and devel-ops grain markets world-wide. He has graciously held farm tours of his Rapp Farms operation to many individuals from such coun-tries as China, Japan, Viet-nam, Morocco and France, as well as touring farms in agricultural entities in the countries of Japan, China, Mexico, Egypt, Guatema-la and Vietnam as part of Corn Growers Agricultural exchange program. He has hosted urban legislators as part of the adopted legislator program.

Jim and his wife, Nancy, live north of Princeton. He continues the family farm operation with his two sons, Nick and Ben Rapp, and is continually making new and inventive changes to the Rapp Farms in marketing and his farming operation.

PRINCETON — Seven Bureau County students will receive financial assis-tance from the Bureau County Farm Bureau Foundation to help cover costs associated with con-tinuing their education. The Foundation Board of Directors has named Mark Bejster of Spring Valley, Laura Brummel of Sheffield, Anthony Lovgren of LaMoille, Kalie Rumbold of Wyanet, Tay-lor Smith of Princeton and Nicole Yaklich of Princ-eton as the 2014 recipi-ents of the Bureau County Farm Bureau Founda-tion Scholarship. Sarah Schlund of Princeton was named the winner of the 2014 Bureau County Farm Bureau Foundation Grad-uate Scholarship.

To date, more than $57,500 has been provided in schol-arships to individuals who are Bureau County Farm Bureau members or their dependents. The foundation funding is supported by private

contributions, includ-ing those from Bureau County Farm Bureau members.

Mark Bejster, the son of David and Karen Bejster, will gradu-ate from Illinois Valley Community College in July. This fall he plans to attend Western Illi-nois University focusing on agricultural business, minoring in agronomy.

test place I see as I drive across the country,’” Dob-son said.

However, there were some surprises to the sur-vey results, mainly that Iowa and Nebraska would rank so low, at 18th and 19th, respectively, Dobson said.

Though Hawaii and Alas-ka were not included in the study, there’s no way either state would rank high, for having a large percentage of flat land, Dobson said. In fact, he would expect Hawaii to rank very low, possibly challenging West Virginia for being the least flat state in the country, the geologist said.

As concluded by the study authors, there are merits to studying the flat-ness of the states, aside from state pride. Busi-ness, academic and other recruiting endeavors may be hampered or enhanced by the perceived flatness of a state.

The fun night out is one great way to pro-mote local shopping and support the area’s small businesses.

“The Princeton Area Chamber of Commerce has a vested interest in the success of our Main Street and surrounding small businesses,” Frey said. “Supporting local businesses helps Prince-ton preserve what makes our city great. Not only are these small business owners our friends and neighbors, but they are the driving force behind out regional economy … Spending an evening shopping local and all year long helps our small businesses keep the jobs they’ve created, boost out local economies and enrich our community.”

The shopping journey begins at 5 p.m. at the Chamber office where a complimentary wine glass and passport will be waiting for each shopper. The passport will be essential, as it will list all participat-ing businesses. Shop-

pers who visit a listed location will have their passport punched. At the end of the journey, passports will be turned in for a chance to win that Chamber gift card. Summer Solstice ends at 8 p.m. Friday, however,

the Chamber will accept completed passports up until the end of the day on Monday, June 30.

“We want to make sure our shoppers have enough time to take in as many participating businesses and all they

have to offer without being rushed,” Frey said.

A perk along the way will be the available transportation that will taxi shoppers between Princeton’s north and south end shopping dis-tricts. The Chamber and Bureau County Repub-lican have partnered with Bureau and Put-nam Area Rural Transit (BPART) transportation to provide this conve-nient opportunity.

Rides will be free of charge. Pickup locations will be at the Prouty Building and on the cor-ner of Main and Long streets (next to Darius Miller Park).

“We are really excit-ed to be a part of Sum-mer Solstice,” said BCR Multi-Media Consultant Pam Marsh, who is also a Chamber Ambassador. “Princeton has wonder-ful businesses and great folks who own them and work there. I hope every-one will join in the fun, and take advantage of this night on the town as we celebrate the start of summer in Princeton.”


Barnett is one of five summer interns helping the three families who work full time with Pre-emptive Love Coalition and live in Iraq. The other interns include a junior from Seattle Pacific Uni-versity in Washington, a graduate of Pepperdine University in California, a junior at Anderson Uni-versity in Indiana, and, like Barnett, another 2014 graduate of Cedarville University. The coalition’s executive assistant, who works stateside in Texas, is also in Iraq this summer.

The Buda native lives in an intern apartment in the basement of the house in which the coalition’s executive director and his family live. The Americans prepare American-style meals for themselves, like spaghetti and barbecue sandwiches, but the local food is delicious, Barnett said.

“I really love how much rice we eat and tea we drink,” Barnett said. “”I think there is something incredibly special about getting your bread from a place that only makes and sells bread and fruit and vegetables. You feel much closer to your food source. In America, it is much harder to eat healthy and know what you are eating is fresh.”

Iraq is actually a beauti-fully diverse country with mountains, rivers and waterfalls in the north and a mostly desert land-scape in the south, Bar-nett said. The people of Iraq are incredibly warm and compassionate peo-ple, who are fascinated by the English language and the American culture, he added.

“We have had many great conversations over tea about religion, politics and foreign affairs,” Bar-nett said. “They are such an understanding, patient people.”

As far as his safety in a politically-unsettled coun-try, Barnett said he’s never had any concerns about spending his summer in

Iraq. Also, he is able to talk regularly to his parents, Kevin and Kris Barnett of Buda.

“I knew that the orga-nization would take good care of its people and would not allow us to come if they felt at any time that it was unwise or unsafe to do so,” he said. “I do feel very safe here now. I think that this is a good a time as any for the work that we are doing here.

“While war is breaking out around the country, our message of peace still has a place here. We work to develop long-term solu-tions not just for the chil-dren themselves, but for the entire Iraqi healthcare system. Our work does not stop even though entire cities are in the hands of a militant group. It just makes our work all the more important.”

Looking ahead to returning to the United States later this summer, Barnett said his time with Preemptive Love Coalition has given him a revitalized passion for fundraising and given him the oppor-tunity to do work that he loved for an organization of which he is passion-ate. With a college major in applied communica-tions and a minor in Bible, Barnett hopes to work for an organization that does good and loves people.

“Personally, I think I will take the Preemptive Love Coalition’s mindset of ‘Love First, Ask Ques-tions Later’ away from this,” Barnett said. “I have learned what an impact loving people without excuse or stipulations can have. I have realized that this is how Christ loved us, so we need to love each other the same way.”

Casey’s to lend a helping handBy Donna Barker

[email protected]

PRINCETON — An area business is partnering with the American Red Cross to raise money for the disas-ter relief efforts for the vic-tims of the recent severe weather across the Mid-west.

Bureau County Red Cross Chapter Director Lori Compton said the Midwest River Region of the American Red Cross has announced all Casey’s General Stores in Illinois and Iowa are collecting donations for the Red Cross disaster relief pro-gram.

Compton said the local Casey’s General Stores have always been very positive in helping when the Red Cross has need-ed assistance in provid-ing services for the larger events or needs in the county. It’s wonderful the company has paired up again with the Red Cross to help meet this latest need, she said.

On June 16, tornadoes, high winds and flooding hit various parts of the Midwest, hitting especially hard in northeast Nebras-ka. The Red Cross is in the area with shelters, food, water and supplies.

Though the Bureau County Red Cross has not

been called to deploy any volunteers to those sites, the regional Red Cross, headquartered in the Quad Cities, has deployed two of its emergency response vehicles to distribute food and relief supplies, Comp-ton said.

To help with this latest disaster relief need, area residents may visit any Casey’s Generals Stores, which are located locally in Princeton, Wyanet, DePue, Ladd, Sheffield, Buda and Spring Valley.

People can also make donations to support the American Red Cross Disaster Relief by visiting www.redcross.org, calling 800-RED CROSS (800-733-2767) or texting the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

In other local Red Cross news, Compton said the Red Cross is having its next large bloodmobile on July 3 at the First United Meth-odist Church in Prince-ton. For a complete list of upcoming bloodmobiles, dates and places, people may contact the Princeton office at 815-879-2231, Compton said.

The summer months are always a time when more people are needed to give blood because so many of the regular donors are on vacation, Compton said.


BCR photo/Goldie CurrieThe Princeton Area Chamber of Commerce and Bureau County Republican have teamed up to provide the sec-ond annual Summer Solstice shopping event this Friday, June 27. The fun begins at 5 p.m. and will feature more than 25 participating merchants who will stay open late to provide participants an evening of shopping and food and wine tastings. One participating business will be Four Seasons. Pictured is Manager Cheryl Broadbent (seated) and Assistant Manager Shari Bence (standing, left) along with Princeton Chamber Director Kim Frey.

Red Cross responds to Bureau fire

By Donna [email protected]

BUREAU — The Bureau County Red Cross was one of several area emergency personnel responding to a mobile home fire late Friday on Rawson Lake Lane near Bureau.

On Monday, Bureau County Red Cross Director Lori Compton said local Red Cross volunteers Mike Hellberg and Tina Eckdahl responded to the scene early Saturday to assure everyone affected by the fire had a safe place to stay, food, clothing and emotional support. One adult did require immediate and continued assistance, Compton said.

The Bureau County Red Cross averages more than 20 disaster responses in a year. The 11-county regional area of the American Red Cross, of which Bureau County is a part, assists an average of more than 185 families each year after some type of disaster.

There are some steps all people should take to safeguard themselves, whether they own their home or rent it, Compton said. All homes should have working smoke alarms, and all people should have insurance, whether it’s as the homeowner, which is required, or the renter. Insurance is relatively inexpensive compared to starting over without insurance, she said.

Also, everyone should have an escape plan in the case of a fire or other disaster, Compton said.

Editor’s note: More information was not available from the Bureau Fire Department by Monday’s press time.

David NewcomerMILL VALLEY, Calif. — David Newcomer died peacefully

at his Mill Valley, Calif., home on Tuesday, May 27, after a valiant struggle with bladder cancer. He was 74.

The son of Joseph O. Newcomer (d. 1985) and Mildred Shugart Newcomer (d. 1991), David was born in Wewoka, Okla., on Feb. 10, 1940, and grew up with his older brother, Richard (d. 1972), first in Tiskilwa and then in Princeton, his mother’s hometown.

He graduated from Princeton High School in 1958, where he played football, basketball and ran track. He won the state pole vaulting championship his senior year. He studied philosophy at Illinois Wesleyan, graduating with honors in 1962, and went on to the Theological School at Drew University, Madison, N.J., where he received his Mas-ter of Divinity degree in 1966. David was ordained an Elder in the United Methodist Church, and served as Campus Minister at the Wesley Foundation, University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls from 1966 to 1969.

He and his wife Meg, whom he had met at Drew and mar-ried in 1968, moved to Marin County, Calif., in 1969, where they have resided since. David received an Master of Social Work degree from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1972, and spent the rest of his career in public service, most notably with low-income seniors in San Francisco. He was Executive Director of Services for Seniors (1979-82), Execu-tive Director of the San Francisco Senior Centers (1982-96), and Program Manager for the City of San Francisco Com-mission on Aging from 1996 until his retirement in 2004.

David had a special passion for Japanese gardens and spent more than 40 years visiting, photographing and researching gardens in the U.S., Europe and Asia. He wrote three guidebooks on public Japanese gardens in the West-ern U.S., and made many presentations on the subject.

David is survived by his beloved wife Meg, sister-in-law Yolanda Newcomer, nephew Richard Newcomer and his family Nathalia and Sebas, of Medellin, Colombia; his niece Jennifer McCollough and her daughter Audrey Burke of Baltimore, Md.; cousins Don Anderson of Galesburg and Nancy Wallace of Winnebago; Meg’s siblings, their spouses, and many nieces and nephews on the East Coast and in Canada; and a worldwide family of treasured friends.

For those who wish, messages may be left at his site on CaringBridge.org. A celebration of David’s life will take place in Mill Valley in late July.

SPECIAL DISCOUNTS IF YOU MENTION THIS AD!

Summer officially began on Saturday. We’ve had kind of wet spell, but I’m not complaining. I’m not sure what the farmers in Bureau County think of it, but I do know it’s been nice not having to water the garden, flowers, trees and other plants. Now that same precipitation has also caused the grass to grow like it’s on steroids, but of course, there haven’t been many dry days to mow.

Speaking of mowing, isn’t there some kind of rule (or maybe it’s just common sense) that prohibits people from mow-ing their grass and letting that grass land in the street? I’m not sure of the exact reasoning behind it — I’m sure it has something to do with clogging up the gutters or something. In any case, I get really annoyed when I see someone has mowed, and there’s a bunch of grass clippings in the roadway, even on the country roads. It’s not that hard. Just mow in the opposite direction. Thus ends my gospel for the day ...

•••Last weekend was another big weekend for activi-

ties. The Beef and Ag Day event on Friday night was well attended. Congratulations to Princeton’s Jim Rapp for winning the 2014 Bureau County Agricul-tural Service Award. This well-deserved honor was awarded by the Bureau County Farm Bureau, the Bureau County Pork Producers and the Bureau Coun-ty Cattleman’s Association for exemplary leadership and service to agriculture and farmers. I grew up down the road from Jim, and I have always admired his family. They’ve always been good farmers and stewards of the land. Way to go, Jim!

I’m always impressed with the tractor treks in Bureau County, and last weekend there were two of them — one on Friday and one on Saturday. A big pat on the back to all those folks who took their tractors out to have some fun and give area residents a good show. A big round of applause to the folks who orga-nized these events.

•••The Bureau County Republican is co-sponsoring

the Summer Solstice event this Friday evening with the Princeton Chamber of Commerce. Check out our story on Page 1. It sounds like a fun event, plus a great way to celebrate the summer by shopping and browsing the local merchants. Don’t forget to stop in at the Chamber office to get your wine glass. The BCR’s own Mona Cruse designed them. They’re really cool.

•••Just a reminder: The BCR will be closed on the

Fourth of July, so our staff can celebrate the holiday with their families and friends. We will have some early deadlines, so if you are an advertiser, check with your multi-media consultant if you have any ques-tions.

Speaking of the Fourth of July, there are a host of celebrations going on, and we’d be happy to help you promote them. Email your information to BCR Copy Editor Sarah Maxwell at [email protected] so we can let readers know about your event.

•••Thoughts for this week:• “Summer afternoon — summer afternoon; to me

those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.” Henry James.

• “What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.” John Steinbeck.

• “Summer, after all, is a time when wonderful things can happen to quiet people. For those few months, you’re not required to be who everyone thinks you are, and that cut-grass smell in the air and the chance to dive into the deep end of a pool give you a courage you don’t have the rest of the year. You can be grateful and easy, with no eyes on you, and no past. Summer just opens the door and lets you out.” Deb Caletti.

•••Lots going on ... it’s summertime! But remember to

take some leisurely time for yourself and those you love. Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it! Enjoy! And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

On the street Summer officially began on Saturday. What are you doing to celebrate summer?

From the editor’s desk

The dog days of summerI’m sitting here with my dog,

Harley, on our front steps and I tell him, “Tomorrow is gonna be big.” He looks up at me not even under-standing a word, and he grins. He and I both know that there is noth-ing but time ahead of us, and we just have to figure out what we’re going do this summer.

Harley, my black Labrador, is one of the greatest friends I have here in the Illinois Valley. For the past six years I’ve been taking him out on walks, feeding him apples and hav-ing conversations about the mean-ing of life on our front porch with him. He knows I like to worry a lot, so occasionally on a whim, he’ll pull me toward a tree or a patch of flow-ers. I try to stop him and say, “No, we’re sitting here. Stay.” But he isn’t very convinced. I think it’s his way of telling me to stop sitting around on my butt waiting for something to happen. To Harley, no amount of treats is worth sitting still in the same spot all the time.

Once in a while I try to coax him toward the house, but instead he’ll run after one more rabbit that’s too fast for him to catch, or he’ll roll around in the grass for just a

little bit longer. He knows when my patience runs out because eventu-ally he’ll look back at me with that big grin of his as if to say, “Isn’t this fun?” It’s hard to scold him when he looks so happy being free and playful.

The other day he jumped around in the yard when he saw the birds flying from tree to tree. I was talk-ing to him about this terrible day I had when he suddenly had this urge to join the birds instead. I don’t know how Harley does it. Whenever adventure is right there in front of him, he chases after it without a second thought. He doesn’t even care that he may never be a bird.

When I’m with Harley I start to enjoy making these spur-of-the moment decisions. It’s been great. When he decides to take an impromptu nap in the sun, I don’t try to argue against relaxing. And if

I decide to take a new path around the house, he’s up for smelling the new flowers and trees. My pal, Harley, has taught me how to make the most out of my life. I mean, nowadays I don’t even mind when the neighbors see me peeing on a mailbox.

(Just kidding — I only do that when the neighbors aren’t watch-ing.)

Harley — my tongue wagging, tail-flying spontaneous wonder dog — is my hero this summer. He is teaching me how easy it is to treat every day like an adventure. He simplifies his life by happily explor-ing what interests him while inspir-ing the rest of us, with that joyful look on his face, to join him. When I tell him that tomorrow is going to be big, I know he won’t understand the words I say. But I do know he will be more than happy to seize the day alongside me because he lives his whole life believing the best is yet to be discovered.

Your heart needs exercise, just like all of theother muscles in your body. The faster youmove, the faster your heart beats. Exercisingfor a while every day is good for the heart.

Place two fingers on the inner sideof your left wrist. Do you feel a littlejump? This is the blood from yourheart going to your hand. Youcan feel that jump every timeyour heart beats. This is calledyour pulse.

Jump up and down10 times. Is yourpulse faster or

ou have a treasure chest with you every day.Inside your chest, there is atreasure that keeps you alive.It is your heart. Your heart is in the middleof your chest, a little to theleft. Put your hand on yourchest and be very still. Canyou feel your heart beating? Your heart is actually amuscle, a very strong muscle.

It pumps blood to all parts ofyour body. It works all thetime, even when you’resleeping. Think about how youwould make other muscles inyour body strong, such asyour arm or leg muscles.Exercise, followed by restand good eating habits, is thekey to a strong muscle and ahealthy treasure chest.

Real hearts don’t look much likeValentine hearts. Inside the treasurechest is a picture of a real heart. Thetubes that stick out from the heartare the arteries and veins that carryblood to and from all parts of your body. Arteries carry blood from your heart to your body, to deliver oxygen. Veins carry the blood, minus oxygen, back to your heart.

To find out the size of your heart, make a fist with one hand. This is about the size of your heart.

To find it, read each food item at right and pick the one thatis lowest in saturated fat. Then color the letter of that choiceon the grid and discover the hidden treasure!

Foods high in saturated fat addcholesterol to your blood. Too much cholesterol can be bad for your heart. It can cause the arteries that bring blood to your heart to clog up.

Public demo of emergency communications June 28, 29

HENNEPIN — Every year whole regions find themselves unable to communicate in an emergency despite the Internet, cell phones, email and modern com-munications. Tornadoes, fires, storms, ice and even the occasional cut-ting of fiber optic cables leave people without the means to communicate. In these cases, the one consistent service that has never failed has been amateur radio.

The area “hams” orga-nization is the Illinois Valley Radio Association. It will join with thou-sands of other amateur radio operators across the nation showing their emergency communica-tion capabilities on June 28 and 29. The Field Day event will be at the Ernest Bassi Park in Hennepin.

The public is invited to attend the event which will begin at 1 p.m. on Saturday and run con-tinually through Sunday at 1 p.m.

This annual event,

called Field Day, is the climax of the week long Amateur Radio Week sponsored by the ARRL, which is the national association for amateur radio. Using only emer-gency power supplies, the ham operators will con-struct emergency stations in parks, shopping malls, schools and backyards around the country. More than 35,000 amateur radio operators across the country participated in last year’s event.

Utilizing the ARRL’s Amateur Radio Emer-gency Services program, ham volunteers provide emergency communica-tions for thousands of state and local emergen-cy response agencies and non-emergency commu-nity services. This service is provided at no charge.

The IVRA Radio Club meets monthly at the Hennepin Village Hall on the first Tuesday at 7 p.m.

To learn more about Amateur Radio, go to www.emergency-radio.org.

What SeparateS US From the reSt?

By Jeff SudakovSpecial to the BCR

Festival 56 kicks off its second decade and the 2014 season with “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.” This show is fun, clever, sarcastic and touching — everything you might be looking for in an open-ing show for the Festival season.

When we are first intro-duced to the quirky cast of characters, it is diffi-cult to figure out who to root for, but as they show their vulnerabilities, fears and hopes, it becomes hard to root against any of them.

The cast performs with the energy and enthu-siasm you might expect

of Festival 56 actors/actresses, but the level of vocal talent surpassed my expectations. It does show the level of talent that Festival 56 attracts. When the cast reached the first big num-ber “Pandemonium,” they showed they are not only talented individuals, but a cohesive ensemble as well. It is important in a single set show for the director to keep the staging interesting; if not, this show could easily fall into stale patterns. But Director Jimmy Calitri kept the play moving and employed some clever staging which kept that

from happening. A unique bit of fun in

this production included the interaction between the cast and the audi-ence including bringing some audience members on stage. “Magic Foot” is a clever bit of tug-of-war as the actors pull the “guests” around the stage. This kind of inter-action does make it tough on the actors to stay in character, and it forces the audience to not take this bombastic show too seriously.

On the serious side, the gorgeous voice of Sarah Smith makes me very excited to see “Into the Woods” in which she will portray the Witch char-acter. A highlight of this show, and my personal

favorite moment, is the touching “I Love You Song” with Sarah, Tom Rusterholz and Amanda Spears. Three beautiful voices telling us honestly how they feel. They took us out of the silliness and showed us the heart of the play.

The quirky characters required a full commit-ment from all of the actors, and every one of them came through. Drew Arnold as Barfee took that commitment to the next level. He is an intriguing actor worthy of your attention. But I look forward to seeing the range all of these actors will need to display in the multiple show Summer Stock format.

This show sets a fast

pace for a marathon of fantastic theater, and it looks like we are going to need to fasten our seatbelts. It’s going to be quite a ride. Don’t miss “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling

Bee,” which continues playing through June 28 at the Grace Performing Arts Center.

Editor’s note: Watch the BCR for continuing reviews of all the Festival 56 productions.

Lady DevilsThe Hall Lady Devils sent coach Pete Kasperski out with a happy retirement as regional champions. Four Lady Devils crack this year’s All-BCR Softball team.

Emily Draper (St. Bede) — Sophomore, center fielder

• Called up early in the season from the F/S squad, the sophomore center-fielder delivered for the big club with a team-high .431 average with 19 runs scored and seven doubles. She received First Team Three Rivers South All-Conference honors.

Brenna Faletti (Hall) — Senior, shortstop

• The senior shortstop led the Lady Devils with a .421 average, 22 runs and eight stolen bases out of the leadoff hole. She will be taking her game on the Hill-top to play for IVCC.

Megan Foes (Annawan/Wethersfield) — Senior, pitcher

• The Mineral product led the Titans co-op both in the circle with a 12-12 record, 2.56 ERA and 130 strikeouts and at the plate, batting .526 with five hom-ers and 23 RBIs and 32 runs scored. The Lincoln Trail All-Conference selection was also tabbed to the Dispatch/Argus All-Area team.

Ellie Herrmann (Hall) — Junior, second baseman

• Batting ahead of her senior sister Becca, Herrmann batted .371 out of the No. 3 hole in the lineup, driving in a team-high 20 runs with six doubles and two homers.

Danielle Hughes (Princeton) — Junior, center fielder

• The third-year varsity player found a home at the top of the Tigresses’ lineup, batting .379 with 14 RBI, six doubles, a triple and five stolen bases. She was a First Team Three Rivers South All-Con-ference selection.

Abby Jaques (Princeton) — Junior, catcher

• The BCR Player of the Year batted (.456) and slugged the most home runs (8) and drove in the most runs (27). The strong-armed catcher received unani-

mous First Team Three Rivers South All-Conference selection as much for her arm and her bat.

Morgan Knoblauch (St. Bede) — Senior, first baseman

• The Lady Bruins’ first bagger matched teammate’s Draper’s 37 hits while com-piling a .421 batting average with 10 RBI and three doubles. The First Team Three Rivers South All-Conference selection will play at IVCC next year.

Ashley Phillips (Bureau Valley) —Sophomore, infielder

• The Storm sophomore made a name for herself in the area with a pair of three-run homers to lead the Storm to a 10-6 regional win over St. Bede. The Second Team Three Rivers North infielder batted .377 with 20 runs scored and 12 stolen bases.

Adrianna Pikula (Hall) — Sophomore, pitcher

• The sophomore slinger took over the bulk of Hall’s pitching duties, posting 10 of the team’s 12 wins. She had an area-best 2.81 ERA while striking out 105 in 97 innings. She helped her own cause with a .317 batting average.

Deidra Whightsil (Hall) — Senior, center fielder

• The senior center fielder batted .378 with 19 runs scored while driving in 15 runs. The Hall tri-captain will remain a Red Devil, playing for Eureka College next year.

Family enjoys racing together

By Dan [email protected]

WALNUT — The sun is shining, the roar of dirt bikes can be heard in the background and in the middle of the parking area sits a fam-ily diligently preparing for the day’s races. Mom helps her son with his helmet and pads while Dad takes a last minute safety check over the 250 cc Honda, he flips the key on and hits the throttle as it roars to life.

Although only one member of the Rostofer family rides during the race, the family of three sees themselves as a cohesive unit as they all take part in preparations for leading up to the race.

Kody Rostofer, 16, along with his mother, Tabby, and father, Rick, have been a motocross racing family since Kody was 11 years old and made the decision to switch from the cattle business to the racing business.

After selling his prized cattle from showing at 4-H shows, Kody picked out a brand new 85 cc dirt bike and the fam-ily has been hooked ever since.

“He bought his first dirt bike with his 4-H money, and we rode a race and ever since he first took off on the bike we’ve just taken off with it and are in love with racing,” Tabby Rostofer said.

Kody knew he wanted to race from the first time he rode because it fit his personality perfectly.

“What I like the most about it is just doing crazy things, I just like to do crazy things,” Kody said.”

In some cases Kody’s devil-may care attitude has begun to wear on his parents.

“When you get on big-ger motorcycles as he gets older from when he started on an 85 (cc) and now he’s riding a 250, it’s different and nerve rack-ing with the speed and how he likes to ride. It is getting to a point where it’s a little scary for us (as parents),” Tabby said. “His (Rick’s) big deal now that there is more danger is taking care of the bikes. It’s important to him that he has everything work-ing properly on the bike so everything is as safe for Kody as possible.”

The tight knit commu-

nity of Motocross draws many families from all over the county to be a part of a community of friends that has grown into a racing family, the Rostofers traveled 488 miles from Newark, Ohio, to take part in the qualifying races at Sunset Ridge.

“The people that you get to meet from all over they’re just so nice. It’s like going camping with a big group of friends besides the racing; the whole racing commu-nity is just awesome. Everyone is helping each other out and you feel like they’re part of your family because you start caring about the other kids that are competing on the track too,” Tabby said.

Although the Rostofers don’t benefit from big sponsors like some of the riders do, Tammy and Rick are happy to take on the extra expenses because the time spent at the racetrack strengthens the bond between their family.

“It’s a very expensive sport and we basically pay mostly out of pocket, we have a few sponsors but having the time with our racing family and our son is worth all of the money and time spent on making it to these events. It truly is because it brings our family togeth-er.”

NFHS approves early release on free throwsINDIANAPOLIS — Players in marked

lane spaces will be able to move into the lane when the ball is released by the free-throw shooter beginning with the 2014-15 high school basketball season. Previously, players could not release until the ball touched the rim or back-board or until the free throw ended.

This change in Rule 9-1-4 was one of four major rules changes recom-mended by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Basketball Rules Committee at its April 14-16 meeting in Indianapolis.

All recommendations were subse-

quently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors.

The committee noted that the current rule of players in marked lane spaces not releasing until the ball touches the rim or backboard creates two obstacles for officials: 1) attempting to watch the ball strike the rim or backboard while simultaneously attempting to observe if any players/free thrower violate the lane-line restrictions, and 2) insuffi-cient time for the perimeter official(s) to obtain optimum angles on the play-ers involved in rebounding a missed try.

In an effort to eliminate excessive contact on ball-handlers and dribblers outside of the lane area, the commit-tee added Article 12 to Rule 10-6 on contact.

As a result, the following acts will constitute a foul when committed against a ball-handler/dribbler: 1) plac-ing two hands on the player, 2) placing an extended arm bar on the player, 3) placing and keeping a hand on the player and 4) contacting the player more than once with the same hand or alternating hands.

The rules committee also expanded

the definition of an intentional foul in Rule 4-19-3d, which now states that an intentional foul is “excessive contact with an opponent while the ball is live or until an airborne shooter returns to the floor.”

In the final rules change, the commit-tee expanded Rule 3-5-3 by identifying anything worn on the arm and/or leg as a sleeve, except a knee brace.

These items, including tights, will now be permitted but must meet the color and logo restrictions in Rule 3-5-3. Previously, this rule permitted only arm sleeves and leg-compression sleeves.
