PHS students taking the initiativeBy Zita HenneBerry

[email protected]

PRINCETON — New this year, Princeton High School is live streaming sporting events through its website. Starting in August, PHS began to live

stream all home volleyball and football games.

At Wednesday’s meet-ing of the PHS board of education, Assistant Prin-cipal and Athletic Direc-tor Jesse Brandt said the public response to the live streaming has been to be exceedingly positive,

with 994 views from the Orion-PHS football game alone. Following PHS’s example, many other local area schools have been live streaming their home events, he said.

“I like the fact that peo-ple anywhere in the world get a chance to see our kids

compete,” said Brandt.Live streaming provides

family and friends who may not live close or who may not be able to attend the opportunity to watch the games and to support the PHS athletes, Brandt said.

“We hope to do all home

sporting events in the winter as well as concerts and hopefully graduation in the spring,” he said, in regards to the future of live streaming at PHS.

Brooke Ford and D.J. Piper run the production, videotaping the games with an iPad and using a

chromebook to keep the scoreboard.

Previously promoted through WZOE, according to Brandt, Friday was the first time the live stream-ing production utilized the WZOE’s broadcast in its

Yates-Mabry, Wilkin face off in county treasurer’s race

Editor’s note: The Bureau County Republican asked Bureau County Treasur-er candidates to fill out a questionnaire. Following are their responses.

Rick WilkinPosition for which

you are running: Bureau County Treasurer.

Political party: Demo-crat.

Town of residence: Ohio.

Where you work now: Bureau Valley Schools (Buda and Wyanet).

Age: 56.Education: MA – school

counseling; BA – distribut-ed studies (minors in eco-nomics, history, coaching).

Experience: As a county board member, I worked with the committee that developed the 2008 through 2011 county bud-gets.

I have a minor in eco-nomics.

What are your Top 3 goals, if you are elected:

1. Each month a bank sends its customers a monthly statement show-ing their account balances. The county board does not currently receive a detailed monthly statement to show how much has been spent out of each line item or how much remains in each line item. Before approving bills, the coun-ty board should receive a monthly statement that informs them of how they are spending tax dollars. County board members do receive a list of expenses for the month, however, it is not put together in an easy-to-read form. Month-to-month expenses should be presented in the same format as the county bud-get showing exactly what was budgeted, what has been spent and how much will be remaining if the expenses are approved.

2. All financial docu-ments presented at the

county board meeting are public documents and should be made eas-ily available to the voters. Making financial doc-uments easily accessi-ble will only improve the transparency of county government. The county has a website. Posting our financial information to that website is a cost-ef-fective way to keep citizens informed.

3. The county treasurer is responsible for the safe-ty of the county’s money. Part of that responsibility is to wisely invest county funds. Increasing invest-ment income for the coun-ty can provide an addi-tional source of revenue.

Who killed ‘Trader Jack’ Redshaw?

By SHannon [email protected]

Editor’s note: This is the first in a three-part series on unsolved mysteries in the Illinois Valley.

GRANVILLE — The sleepy village of Granville in 1955, in many ways, resembled the fictional town of Mayberry. It was a quiet, safe place where everyone knew everyone, where locals gathered to visit on slow days. It also had its share of characters

— perhaps none more well-known than “Trader Jack” Redshaw.

Granville’s sense of security was shattered in 1955, when the town learned Redshaw had been shot to death in his downtown business. The murder was never solved. Almost 60 years later, res-idents are still fascinated by Redshaw and the mys-tery of his death.

The manA larger-than-life char-

acter, Redshaw wasn’t shy about showing off his

possessions — and he had a lot to display. Redshaw had managed to build a global trading empire

from a small Illinois town, a place so unknown and

King of Swap shot to death in Granville almost 60 years ago

rural most of his clients likely couldn’t pinpoint it on a map.

Redshaw’s office was located in what now hous-es the Granville Library — this location contained a vault, which still remains in the building to this day. The vault served as storage for small, valuable items such as jewelry, according to his great nephew John Redshaw of Hennepin, who was just a few months old at the time of the mur-der.

“The majority of his inventory, however, was in a warehouse just off of McCoy Street,” John said.

The townsfolk knew of Redshaw’s opulent inven-tory, mainly because he liked to show off the goods he received.

Darrell Alleman of Gran-ville saw firsthand some of Redshaw’s valuables when he stopped by the business one day with one of his friends.

“He pulled out drawers, and there were diamonds and green emeralds. He’d run his fingers through them,” Alleman said.

Redshaw’s fame had spread well past the boundaries of Putnam County. When newspapers and national magazines called for interviews, Red-shaw was happy to oblige, appearing in various pub-lications, including Read-er’s Digest and the Chicago Tribune.

“My grandfather described him as flamboy-ant, shrewd, interesting, both friendly and abrasive, and obviously an incred-ibly astute businessman who seemingly knew the value of everything,” John said.

Alleman said it seemed Redshaw was always on the lookout for potential trou-ble coming his way.

Once Redshaw left the lights on in his car. Rather than go outside at night to turn off the lights, he let the battery die, Alleman said.

“He wouldn’t go out at night. As far as I know, he didn’t. He was nervous,” Alleman said.

A prior incident showed Redshaw had reason to be concerned about his

personal safety. He was allegedly once kidnapped out of one of his Granville buildings by gunpoint, according to Alleman. He made it through that har-rowing event but seemed cautious after that, Alle-man said.

Despite any fears he may have been harboring, Red-shaw, who was married and had one daughter, still loved to talk to anybody who would listen, Alleman said.

“He was a nice man,” Alleman said. “He had a chair that he sat out in front of his office, and he talked to people walking by.”

The murderA rainy day is what led

Alleman to an experience on Sept. 26, 1955, he has never forgotten.

“I should have been farming, but it rained that morning,” Alleman said.

Instead, Alleman, who was in his mid-20s at the time, went into downtown Granville to hang out at the local snack bar to chat with his friends. Their conversa-tion was soon interrupted.

“Mrs. Redshaw came in crying and screaming and saying she needed a doc-tor,” Alleman said.

When the group of men ran a few doors over to check on her husband, they found him on the floor by the vault in his Granville shop. He was brought out on a stretcher and taken to a doctor. But that was just a formality — Alleman said it was clear from the moment he looked at Redshaw he was already dead.

Redshaw was wearing a light blue suit, Alleman remembers.

“I could see the powder marks on the blue suit. I knew he was dead,” he said.

Why Redshaw met his demise at age 61 is still a mystery. Some townsfolk believed it was a gang hit, while others surmised it was a robbery attempt

— but no one could tell what, if anything, had been taken.

“From what I under-stand, Jack’s inventory control was done by mem-ory,” John said. “As a result, it was impossible to deter-mine exactly what was stolen from his vault and office. According to sev-eral newspaper accounts, there were missing jewels. From what I have heard, the killers panicked and left before cleaning out the vault. In fact, I recall my grandfather saying that jewels had been scattered about as if the killers were in a hurry ... I doubt that murder was the intent and once their plan went awry, they panicked.”

Alleman said the popular sentiment at the time was that Redshaw was killed by gangsters. The scattered jewels didn’t convince some townsfolk the mur-der was a botched robbery attempt.

“They don’t think it was a robbery, but they think they tried to make it appear as a robbery,” Alleman said.

The notion Redshaw was killed by gangsters may have helped the perpetra-tor get away with it.

“People saw some strange cars in town, but they were all afraid to go testify or tell the police,” Alleman said. “Everyone was nervous and scared they might come back.

When Redshaw died, so did his trading empire.

“His wife and daughter slowly sold off his fascinat-ing inventory for pennies on the dollar,” John said.

No matter who the cul-prit was, John believes his great uncle’s fondness for fame contributed to his death.

“I suspect that Jack’s publicity was his undo-ing. Having been featured in national publications as a wealthy international trader in the sleepy ham-

let of Granville, where he was without any significant personal protection, prob-ably proved too enticing for a small group of crimi-nals,” he said.

John believes Redshaw’s murder will never be solved.

“It was nearly 60 years ago, and the science for crime scenes in 1955 was virtually non-existent com-pared to today’s technolo-gy,” he said. “In addition, I doubt the perpetrators are still alive.”

Though many are still fascinated by the mystery of Redshaw’s murder, John finds his life far more inter-esting than his death.

“What I find most incredible is that Jack Red-shaw literally brought the world to his doorstep doing business with people from

all over the U.S., as well as Europe, Latin America, southeast Asia and Austra-lia,” John said. “He did this without the benefit of mod-ern technology. Imagine making trades for incredi-

bly valuable merchandise using photos and the mail. Can you imagine what he would have done with the benefit of the Internet?”

Thursday special meeting takes no action

By Zita [email protected]

PRINCETON — A special meeting of the Princeton City Council and Prince-ton’s insurance company was held Thursday after-noon in city hall.

When contacted Friday morning, Mayor Keith Cain said no action was taken at the special meeting.

Thursday’s special meeting stemmed from

the need to discuss the delayed insurance pay-ment of claims made by Princeton residents for flood damage.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Repub-lican, two Princeton resi-dents appeared before the city council in September to request payment for the damages that occurred in June from heavy rains and their flooded basements. The claims were submit-ted to the city’s insurance

company but were denied. The payment of these claims was included in the city bills at Monday night’s council meeting.

But at that meeting, Princeton City Commis-sioner Joel Quiram pro-posed the payment of the residents’ claims be post-poned until after the coun-cil’s special meeting with representatives from the insurance company.


Post office begins new servicesBy Donna Barker

[email protected]

PRINCETON — The Princeton Post Office is beginning a Sunday deliv-ery service for parcels ordered through Amazon, an Internet-based com-pany that sells a myriad of products like electron-ics, books and computer items.

On Thursday, Prince-ton Postmaster Shannon Mattingly said the Sunday delivery of Amazon par-cels will begin this Sunday, Oct. 26. As of right now in the local area, the service will be provided to Prince-ton, LaSalle and Mendota customers. At this point, she is not sure if the U.S. Postal Service will branch out to the smaller offices at a later date or not, she said.

Starting Nov. 23, the Sunday operation will be distributed out of the Princeton office, as opposed to LaSalle. Both operations will use Princ-eton employees. The post-al service will also deliver Amazon parcels on Veter-

ans Day, Mattingly said.The U.S. Postal Service

has decided to do this Sunday delivery service as a result of a new contract with Amazon, Mattingly said.

In another new ser-vice, the Postal Service began same day deliv-ery for Amazon parcels on Thursday, Mattingly said. What this means for the customer is that Ama-zon will get your items to the post office as soon as they receive and process the person’s order. Those parcels will be delivered to the person on that same day, the postmaster said.

There is also talk about possibly providing same day non-perishable gro-cery delivery for Amazon orders, Mattingly said. As she understands it, the No. 1 item ordered online is diapers. This service is currently being tested in the San Francisco area and seems to be quite success-ful, she said.

“Having said that, it may be that someday, in the not too far off future, we stock non-perishables as well as diapers in our office so

that we can provide faster delivery to our customers based off of their Amazon orders,” Mattingly said.

This new service with Amazon is huge for the Postal Service, since the Postal Service has lost so much of its first class letter volume because of the Internet, she said. It’s great to see the Internet is actually helping the Postal Service build its business back up to where it should be, she said.

“This is a prime example of how the Postal Service is not going to become a thing of the past. So, for those that thought we were obsolete and no lon-ger needed as a service organization, we are com-ing back stronger than ever and this is only the beginning for us,” Mat-tingly said. “It is definite-ly a different Postal Ser-vice than what we have all known it to be in the past but it continues to be relevant to providing a much-needed service and becoming more promi-nent every day.”


Hog factory still on hold for now By ken ScHroeDer

Shaw Media Service

WENONA — The pro-posed hog factory farm facil-ity planned for Wenona is still in limbo.

VMC Management of Iowa continues to push for the Sandy Creek LLC facil-ity, which would house an estimated 20,000 hogs while contributing up to 20 jobs for the area. Many local res-idents are overwhelmingly opposed to the hog farm, citing damage to local roads and businesses and possi-bly irreparable impact on the aquifer which provides water to most area residents.

The Illinois Department of Agriculture has yet to approve the project since VMC has not yet addressed concerns the facility does not meet Illinois environ-mental standards. That is a situation that may have changed.

“We sent an e-mail to the

company on Oct. 8,” Illinois Department of Agriculture Environmental program manager Brad Beaver said. “We received a response on the 14th, but we have yet to act upon it. The case is under review.”

Beaver said if the out-standing questions are sat-isfactorily answered, the department will issue a per-mit.

In the meantime, VMC is also pressuring local author-ities to allow the facility’s construction.

Last month, the devel-opers threatened Mar-shall-Putnam County Engi-neer Patrick Sloan with a lawsuit, claiming he falsely filed a negative review of a road plan that is integral to the factory farm’s con-struction. Sloan reported the main road for the facility was not rated high enough to support the weight of the trucks expected on the road, and the $1,400 annual impact fee from the com-

pany was insufficient for road maintenance. The road in question — County Road 2800 East — is rated at 72,000 pounds from May to January and 42,400 pounds from February to April. Trucks using the road are expected to carry 80,000-pound loads.

The developers of Sandy Creek LLC claim Sloan’s report is unfounded, and he is personally using his posi-tion to block the construc-tion of the hog facility.

Even if approved, the fac-tory farm faces resistance from local residents and government officials. In May, the Marshall County Board voted 14 to 1 against recommending site approv-al to the IDA, citing negative impact on the surrounding environment, residents and businesses.

The proposed site for the hog facility is in northwest Marshall County within a few miles of both LaSalle and Putnam Counties.

PRINCETON — The annual Coats for Kids drive has kicked off this season with a goal to col-lect at least 250 coats for those in need this winter.

The Bureau County Food Pantry has again teamed up with Kram-er’s Kitchen and Service Master Restoration DSI to help with the collection.

“For the food pantry this is important because it’s an unmet need in our community, and so we’re stepping up to meet that need,” Vanessa Hoffeditz, Director of the Bureau County Food Pantry, explained. “We know the families who are strug-gling to make ends meet with their food needs are also struggling to be able to purchase the coats, hats and gloves for the winter.”

The coat drive will accept any new or gently used coat, hats or gloves for children K-8th grade.

Hoffeditz said junior

sizes will also be accept-ed for the eighth grad-ers needing those larger sizes.

The drive ends on Nov. 14.

“It’s our hope that if we get 250 coats that we will be able to serve that many children,” Hoffeditz said. “And if we do have some left over we do contact the schools because some-times midway through the winter they may get students who come in without coats or students who come without gloves or hats. Anything that’s donated is put to good use.”

The coats will be dis-tributed to families short-ly following the collec-tion’s end date.

Coats can be dropped off at Kramer’s Kitchen or at the Bureau County Food Pantry, located at 1019 N. Main St.

Monetary donations will also be accepted for the coat drive. They can be dropped off at the food pantry.

Investment income may be increased through a policy of diversifying the county’s investments.

In what ways will you be fiscally responsible to taxpayers: The county treasurer is responsible for seeing that the county’s bills are paid in a timely manner.

As part of that respon-sibility, the treasurer is supposed to only pay bills that have been approved for payment by law or by the county board. As trea-surer, I will ensure that payment of bills will only be made after the coun-ty board approves their payment at the monthly county board meeting.

What changes will you make if you are elected: As your treasurer, I will see to it: That each county board member is provided a monthly accounting of each line item in the coun-ty budget; that the coun-ty’s financial information is placed online to provide transparency and ease of access for any county res-ident wishing to examine those records; and that county bills will only be paid after authorization by the county board at their monthly meeting.

Why should voters cast their ballots for you: I have a proven record of being a responsible leader through my time on the county board, as a volun-teer and in my profession. Each day, my goal is to

live by the “golden rule;” I strive to treat every per-son I meet with respect and dignity. As a deci-sion-maker, I try to be practical, transparent and to seek consensus when working to develop a solu-tion that is “doable.” I have a minor in economics that helps me understand investment. As a county board member working on the budget, I developed a method, which is used to this day, to look at past trends in order to inform future decisions. As trea-surer, my intention is to ensure each board mem-ber has, on a monthly basis, a line item account-ing of what remains in the budget, so they are able to make informed decisions when spending tax dollars.

What kind of promises will you make and keep to the citizens of Bureau County: I will make one simple yet important promise. I will work each day as your treasurer to ensure the safety of the public funds entrusted to me. That means, I will strive each day to earn and keep your trust.

Courtney Yates-MabryPosition for which

you are running: Bureau County Treasurer.

Political party: Repub-lican.

Town of residence: Princeton.

Where you work now: Bureau County Treasur-er’s Office.

Age: 32.Education: Bureau Val-

ley High School.Experience: Bureau

County Treasurer’s Office, eight years; Bureau Coun-ty Circuit Clerk’s Office, two years; Citizens First National Bank, Princeton, Ill., two years; Amsouth Bank, Fort Myers, Fla., one year.

What are your Top 3 goals, if you are elected:

One goal is to generate a website for residents and taxpayers to obtain information about the treasurer’s office. I believe this service will greatly improve residents’ conve-nience when searching for information.

Another goal will be to look into options for tax-payers to pay their taxes. As of late, there have been several requests for a debit/credit card payment option at the treasurer’s office. Offering this service would be another way to add convenience for our taxpayers.

If elected, I plan to run the treasurer’s office with the same efficiency and precision the residents of Bureau County have come to expect.

In what ways will you be fiscally responsible to tax-payers: As Bureau County Treasurer, I will ensure our taxpayers’ funds will be properly invested and diversified in local, low-risk financial institutions. Traditionally, our treasur-er’s office has been oper-ated in this manner, and it is the best way to secure our county’s funds.

What changes will you make if you are elected: As stated above, I plan to focus on improving tech-

nology in order to add to the convenience of tax-payers. In today’s busy world, a simple web-site offering information regarding the treasurer’s office, along with adding a debit/credit card payment option would improve the experience of our res-idents. Other than those items, I plan to keep the treasurer’s office running as taxpayers have become accustomed.

Why should voters cast their ballots for you: Based on my level and wide range of experi-ence working in the trea-surer’s office, I believe I am the best candidate for this position. I love the challenge that comes with serving the requests of our residents and meet-ing new people that walk through our doors. I am truly passionate about my job, and feel confident in my ability to fulfill the job of Bureau County Treasur-er.

What kind of promises will you make and keep to the citizens of Bureau County: As Bureau Coun-ty Treasurer, I promise to keep the interests of res-idents and taxpayers first and foremost of impor-tance and uphold the val-ues my predecessor has set for this position. I have no other political aspi-rations or agendas other than to serve the residents of Bureau County as their treasurer as my full-time occupation; I plan to be hands-on and fully dedi-cated to serving the resi-dents of Bureau County.

DAR members learn about Potawatami IndiansPRINCETON — The

Princeton DAR mem-bers learned about the Potawatami Indians at their Oct. 3 meeting in the Prouty Building.

Lonna Naumann of Magnolia shared her research on the Native American Potawatami tribes which once inhab-ited the Illinois River Val-ley area.

The Potawatamis, whose name means “keep the hearth fire,” were gen-erally a peaceful people although some participat-ed in the attack on Fort Dearborn, now Chicago, during the War of 1812. However, Potawatami Chief Black Partridge res-cued some civilians during the aftermath. Another important Potawatami was Chief Senachwine whose encampment was north of Henry at Putnam. A marker, placed by the Sons of the American Rev-olution, honors Chief Sen-achwine on a hilltop along

Route 29.A certificate of recog-

nition was presented to Jan Edgerley for her 25 years of member-ship and her service in chapter chairmanships. Four prospective mem-bers were named, and new member, Elise Bittner Mackin, was announced.

Project Patriot chair-man Debra Wendt shared information on her committee, established nationally after 9/11. Its aim is to fund clothing, footwear, retail gift cards, phone cards, etc., for our veterans in three loca-tions: Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Land-stuhl, Germany; Walter Reed National Medical Center in Maryland; and the Brooke Army Medi-cal Center in San Antonio, Texas. In 2013 the Nation-al Society Daughters of the American Revolution spent more than $83,000 for supplies while more than $80,000 in care pack-

ages were sent by indi-vidual chapters. Military families are not neglect-ed either as quilts, knit-ted caps for newborns, patriotic T-shirts, knitted Christmas stockings and holiday cards are among items donated by DAR.

Vietnam War 50th Com-memoration chairman Beverly Larson reported that the deadline is near for registering names, time of service, and rank of anyone who served during the time period of the Vietnam War. DAR members, assisted by hus-bands who have served in the military, planned dis-tribute Commemoration pins at the LaSalle Veter-ans’ Home, following the vets’ bingo party on Oct. 11. A collection of cloth-ing and medical items donated by the Prince-ton-Illinois Chapter was also to be delivered.

Oct. 11 was the 124th birthday of the founding of the National Society

DAR, established in Wash-ington, D.C., in 1891.

Seven members attend-ed DAR Days in Galesburg on Sept. 11. Displays and presentations by State Officers and State Chair-men highlighted the day.

On Sept. 18, five mem-bers attended the Dedica-tion of the Solar Lights at Starved Rock, the project of State Regent, Pamela Bork. The U.S. Flag will now fly around the clock and be properly lit during the night. Due to lack of manpower and lack of electricity “at the top of the Rock,” the U.S. Flag has not flown recently at Starved Rock.

The next meeting will be held at the Bureau Coun-ty Republican Room at 9:30 a.m. Nov. 1. The pro-gram will be presented by District Director Barbara Halsey. The chapter will be collecting non-perish-able items for the food pantry; diabetic items are also needed.

Organizers are hoping to receive at least 250 coats

Halloween trick or treat times The Bureau County Republican will publish

trick or treat times for area communities next week. To be included in our listing, email [email protected] by Oct. 27.

TRIDENT makes Spring Valley arrestsSPRING VALLEY — Two Spring Valley

residents were arrested by the TRIDENT task force on drug charges.

Curtis P. Kelly, 34, and Katelynn J. Ras-munson, 22, were arrested Oct. 17 after TRIDENT task force agents executed a search warrant at the Spring Valley resi-dence of Kelly and Rasmunson. The search warrant, obtained in Bureau County, fol-

lowed a lengthy investigation by the task force into narcotics activity in the Spring Valley/Tri-County area.

Kelly and Rasmunson were transported to the Bureau County Jail and appeared in Bureau County Court for a bond hearing. Kelly is being held in jail in lieu of a $35,000 bond. Rasmunson was released from cus-tody, pending possible further charges.

SV man pleads guilty to burglaryPRINCETON — A Spring Valley man

has entered an open plea of guilty in Bureau County Court to the Class 2 felo-ny of burglary.

Alexis M. Davis, 30, entered his open plea of guilty on Oct. 2 before Associate Circuit Judge Cornelius J. Hollerich. The judge ordered the probation department to conduct a pre-sentence investigation and file it with the court. Davis was rep-resented in court by LaSalle attorney Louis Bertrand. Prosecuting the case was State’s Attorney Patrick Herrmann.

On June 27, the Princeton Wal-Mart called the Princeton Police Department after determining they had been the vic-

tim of a crime. A security video showed an individual entering the Princeton Wal-Mart on June 18, and removing a pot and pan set from the store shelf. The person immediately went to customer service and obtained a gift card refund even though the merchandise was not paid for.

Following an investigation by the Princeton Police Department with the assistance of Peru Police Department, it was determined that the defendant was the individual who had committed the offense of theft. Because the defendant entered the store with the intent to com-mit a theft, he was charged with burglary.

In other business at Wednesday’s board meet-ing, Superintendent Kirk Haring expressed great pride in his FFA students who have managed to

secure approval on a land lease agreement with the Princeton City Council.

“The FFA is a very active and dedicated group of young men and women,” Haring said. “FFA sponsor Dan Foes and (students) Jacob Bick-ett, Cole Wright and Luke Schultz initiated the land lease discussion and since then have worked tireless-ly researching all aspects leasing and farming the land. The FFA students are fully supplied and able to use temporarily donat-ed equipment.”

Through the standard

lease agreement, the FFA will be allowed to farm approximately 19 acres in the Princeton Technol-ogy Park, located on the northeast corner of Princ-eton. The crops will be split 50/50 and the FFA will cover the normal and customary liability insur-ance, Haring said.

“This is an opportunity for them to be involved in all decisions of farming, which will provide them an opportunity that not all high school students are afforded,” Haring said.

This and thatSometimes my life is so crazy I just can’t settle down to

concentrate on one topic. Hard as I try, my mind resem-bles a beehive with all the worker bees going in opposite direction — hopefully to accomplish a common goal — but not always. I’ve stared at this blank screen long enough, so rather than attempt to write on a single topic, I just decided to give you a glimpse of what a day in the life of Terri’s Simon’s mind might be like. Fasten your seat belts, my friends ...

•••I’m still thinking about the Women of Distinction

Awards luncheon we hosted on Oct. 16. It was a won-derful day, fun, emotional and inspiring. Keynote speaker Kathy O’Malley did a fantastic job, as always. Her message was about “Girl-friends,” and she strongly suggested we not let life get in they way of maintaining those friendships we’ve built throughout the years. As she suggested that day, I went home that night and texted some faraway friends who I seldom see and told them I was thinking about them, reminding them how much they mean to me. Give it a try. It’s worth the effort. Thanks, Kath.

•••Tuesday evening’s Candidates’ Forum was a great way

for all of us to get to know our candidates for the upcom-ing Bureau County Treasurer and Sheriff races. Not only was it educational, but I was totally impressed with the 200 people who cared enough to come to learn about our candidates. Congrats to the candidates who did a great job, and a huge round of applause to those who came to the event.

•••My mom’s birthday was Thursday. We spent the

entire day together, and nothing could have been more fun and rewarding for me. We talked, we shopped, we laughed, we ate ... most of all, we enjoyed each other’s company and spent some much needed time together.

•••New BCR Staff Writer Zita Henneberry started this

week, jumping in head-first and not looking back. We are excited to have Zita on board. Her insight, determi-nation and willingness to deliver the news to you, our readers, is admirable. It’s fun to see someone join our editorial family and look at situations with fresh eyes.

•••This one is wearing on my heart ... As most of you

already know, BCR Senior Staff Writer Donna Barker has officially announced her retirement. While I’m absolute-ly happy for her, we will miss her terribly ... I could go on and on, but I’ll save that for another column.

•••My dear friend, former Princeton resident Janelle Bel-

tramini, was back in town, and we had the opportunity to spend some time together. It’s never long enough, but we picked up right where we left off the last time we got together. After we parted ways, it was obvious our friend-ship will be one that lasts a lifetime.

•••Former BCR Design Editor Greg Wallace stopped

in the newsroom this week. Despite his new job that includes the use of power tools, he still has all his appendages. It was good to see Greg ... especially intact. We miss him.

•••In a weak moment, our puppy, 6-month-old Purr-

cee, chewed through her relatively new leash while we weren’t looking. I’m sure she did so with a smile on her face because she proudly brought the leash to us to show her handiwork.

•••Emails from faraway friends this week brought laugh-

ter, worry and feelings of relief.•••

Richard Widmark: A Princeton legend

By Bartlett KassaBaumSpecial to the BCR

I should be relating Part 3 of Mary (Ogorman) Barr to you in this column, but I am waiting

for information to come from Sioux Falls, S.D., to finish the telling of her story. We can take a break from that with an anecdote related to me in my search for the true story of Richard Widmark. I’ll finish up with Richard’s grand-

mother when I have the information.

I think I had a fairly ordinary childhood that was probably just like any boys, growing up in a small Midwest town like Granville. My friends and I did anything and everything you would expect from boys in the 1950s in a rural com-munity. We played backyard and playground baseball, basketball and football, drank a lot of pop, rode bikes, camped, hiked, sledded until we froze in the winter, fought, and smoked our first cigarettes and corncob pipes.

One of my best friends in early grade school was Roger Eggers. Charlie Jones was his older brother by five years. Roger and Charlie, Jack Ossola, sometimes his sisters Marilyn and Joyce, Louie Anders, sometimes the Hartman clan, and my older brother, Craig, and I, did all kinds of dumb kid stuff with whoever else in the neighborhood wanted to get involved. It never crossed my mind that one of these childhood pals would tell me a story of Richard Widmark. I ran into Charlie and his wife, Sharon, at Menards the other day and lis-tened to this tale.

In late 1968 to December 1970, while I was serving my hitch in the U.S. Army, Charlie, Sharon and their two children, David and Deb-bie, lived in California. They were encouraged by Sharon’s father, Walt Lindsey, who lived in Canogo Park, Calif., to make the move from Granville. Canogo Park is north-west of Los Angeles. They took root in Thousand Oaks, to the west of Canogo Park and northeast of Hid-den Valley by about nine miles.

Charlie found employment right away with Ted Smith Aircraft Co. where they made six-passenger planes, but the job folded after three months when the company moved to Texas. He then got a job with Coast Pool Service, cleaning swimming pools. He worked for Coast Pool Service for eight months and had a regular route. Richard Widmark lived in both Hidden Valley, Calif., and Roxbury, Conn., at the time, and Hidden Valley was on Charlie’s regular route. Hid-den Valley is an unincorporated community in the Santa Monica Mountains in southeastern Ventura County.

Charlie tried to clean two pools every hour or so, and he did each pool about twice a month. He cleaned Richard Widmark’s pool at least a dozen times when he worked for Coast Pool Service. He usually had to deal with Widmark’s ranch foreman when he did their pool. The foreman mentioned to Charlie that if he did run into Mr. Widmark, not to make a big thing out of it because the actor didn’t like people “going ape” when meeting him. He was just an ordi-

nary guy who happened to make movies.

Richard Widmark was into the last third of his movie career but still made four movies while Char-lie Jones was living in California. Widmark made two films in 1969; “A Talent for Loving,” a western spoof, and “Death of a Gunfight-er,” an offbeat western with Lena Horne as his love interest. It has a take in it reminiscent of that great scene in “Two Rode Together” (1961), with Widmark and James Stewart smokin’ and chawin’ along the water. The year was 1969 that Charlie did his eight months cleaning swimming pools. Making movies on location and living on both coasts made it unlikely that Richard Widmark, from Princeton, Illinois, would cross paths with Charlie Jones, from Granville, Illi-nois.

Charlie was finishing up one day and loading up his truck. It was Charlie’s own personal truck, a 1961 Ford F100 shortbed with C.W. Jones & Son, Granville, Illinois, on the doors. He had to use his own truck and gas on the job. That’s why he tried to set a pace of two pools every hour or so. He had to make a living. He usually had mag-netic signs with Coast Pool Service on the sides of the doors, but he took them off when he did Wid-mark’s pool. Charlie knew Richard Widmark was from Princeton. His mom, June (Webster) Jones, Eggers, who was three years behind Widmark in the Princeton school system, told him this when he was a kid. She was the sister of William Webster Sr. of Princeton. June was married twice, and her second husband, Roger Eggers Sr., was the brother of former Princeton Police Chief George Eggers.

Charlie saw a tall athletic man with suntanned features walk out of the house as he was putting some hose in the truck bed. The ranch house was weathered cedar, and the man coming toward him was a shirtless and weathered Richard Widmark, not the fore-man. Charlie remembers Widmark looked like he worked out and was in real good shape “for an older guy.” Charlie was close to 27, and Richard Widmark was 54.

“Hey, I just wanted to tell you what a great job you’ve been doing with the pool,” Widmark said walk-ing up to Charlie. “My foreman says you always do a good job, and it’s always nice when we’re home and want to use it. Thanks, a lot,” Widmark said shaking Charlie’s hand.

“Thanks, I try to do my best,” said Charlie, trying to keep it low

key.Widmark smiled, “Well thanks

again” nodded, looked at the truck door, nodded again and headed toward the barn.

“See ya, Jones,” Widmark said, walking away. Charlie watched him blur into the sunlit haze of the barn, finished packing, got in his truck and headed to his next stop.

Charlie, told me, as he finished his story, “Widmark didn’t have to come out and say a word to me. He paid for and was suppose to get good service, but he came out just the same and told me person-ally what a good job I did. It said a lot about the guy. He didn’t say a word about my being from Gran-ville, but maybe he knew. He took a good look at the truck door. Who knows?”

Charlie told me he had Bing Russell on his route also. Bing was an actor, baseball club owner and father of actor Kurt Russell. Kurt was on the verge of being Disney’s biggest star in 1969. If Charlie would have stayed on a while lon-ger he would have had Dean Mar-tin’s pool to clean.

Charlie went to work for his wife’s uncle next, who was a con-tractor in the area, and then in December of 1970, the Jones fam-ily moved back to Granville. My old friend Roger Eggers, Charlie’s younger brother, survived a tour in Vietnam, came home and died in a car accident in 1971. He rests in Oakland Cemetery in Princeton along with his mom.

Charlie and Sharon still live in Granville today, married 50 years next year. Charlie liked it when I told him Widmark was married to his first wife for 55 years until her death in 1997. He said it spoke a lot about the man.

Charlie said he still had his first dollar, a 1921 Morgan his grandfa-ther gave him, his first car, a 1948 Ford convertible he restored, and or course, his first wife, Sharon, still in mint condition.

Sharon smiled, gave me a hug, and I shook hands with Charlie Jones. I headed home thinking Charlie had some real common ground with Richard Widmark and boy, it really is a small world. Sometimes it’s all right in your own back yard.

St. Bede Academy Legacy Project receives donation from ADM CaresPERU — Archer Dan-

iels Midland Co. recently donated $5,000 to St. Bede Academy. The donation will go toward the Fire Life Safety Component of The Legacy Project, which includes the recent instal-lation of a new fire alarm and a fire suppression sys-tem for the school.

“The fire life safety ren-ovations made to our cen-tury-old historic school provides our students and occupants a safer building

environment in which to learn,” stated Ted Struck, superintendent. “We are grateful for ADM’s contri-bution to the Legacy Proj-ect.”

St. Bede is dedicated to developing well-rounded, well-prepared students who leave high school with a quality pre-collegiate education that will not only develop their minds, but also strengthen their character.

The donation was given

through ADM Cares. ADM Cares is a social investment program that directs funds to initiatives and organiza-tions that drive meaning-ful social, economic and environmental progress worldwide. The program comprises three distinct focus areas: supporting the responsible development of agriculture, improving the quality of life in ADM communities and fostering employee giving and vol-unteer activities.

Harvest time is hereIt’s harvest time on the family farm.Weaning time is here and the calves

have been separated from their mom. Dad’s cows are grazing the combined corn fields. Now the calves are being preconditioned for sale at the local sale barn.

Calves become bunk broke, which means they will come up to the bunk and start eating once the food has been placed in the bunk. The calves are put on a comprehensive vaccination health program and won’t become sick as eas-ily, all of this process is called precondi-tioning. If the calves are fed for at least 45 days they will have gain more weight; this is good with the prices that the cat-tle industry is having at this time.

We in the Midwest and the cattle producers in the west have two very dif-ferent ways on how they deal with their weaned calves.

I was able to sit down and interview my pastor, Eldon Cook, about a cattle round up he took part of, in the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming. There he helped round up at least 700 head of cattle with calves from five different areas on the stock ground to be taken down to the ranch for the calves to be weaned.

The cattle are pushed down a path that is about 30 miles long to the ranch. Before the cows and calves head down the path, the cows that don’t have calves and the cows with younger calves are separated from the herd and driven back up to the pastures. Waiting at the farm is a brand inspector to make sure the brands on the cattle belong to that farmer. Each cow and calf must have a farm brand before they are able to go to pasture. This is for liability in case something happens to an animal.

Once the brand inspector has checked all the brands, the calves are weaned and loaded onto a waiting semi to take the calves to the sale barn to be sold. After the calves are weaned, the cows are driven back up the path to the mountains with the pastures. The cows will stay there until the bad weather sets in and then they make their own way down to the farm for the winter.

Show season ended for me early Sep-tember at the Sandwich Fair. The Sand-wich Fair draws a lot of fair goers from Chicago and adjoining suburbs. These folks don’t know a lot about agriculture but are always asking good questions, and I like to educate them about agri-culture.

On the last day of the fair I like to take one of my heifers and stand under a nice shady tree and teach them about the cattle. Many people ask questions and take the opportunity to touch and take pictures with the heifer.

I try my best to answer the questions, but there is still people who what to point out the negatives of agriculture. When these questions are asked, I talk to them as nicely as I can.

My dad even got into the action of supplying information to the public. He was able to talk to a couple of farmers from Ireland. They were comparing and contrasting how our farming methods differ from theirs. You know farmers; they talk and talk and talk ...

The first of October I received my pre-mium from the state of Illinois for the two sixth-place finishes that my heifers won at the state fair. This $7 I received was made possible by the tax payers of Illinois. I thank all of you hard workers for this.

I have already started preparing for next year’s show season. I have picked out my home raised heifers and steers and I went out and bought a heifer to show. Halters are already on and have already been off again.

I’m even building a pasture out of our old hay field for the animals to run in. This will help improve their walk and make them stretch more.

The farm has also been preparing for winter. Silage has been chopped and the last cutting of hay has been baled and put away for the winter. Silage is the whole plant including the ear that has been chopped. The silage is then put in a 200-foot long silage bag to be stored for the winter. The silage bag looks like a big white sausage lying in the field.

Now, until it is my next time to write to the folks of Bureau County, remem-ber: beef roast done in a crock pot or a beef soup bone simmered in vegetable soup is just as good during fall and win-ter as steaks on the grill in summer.

USDA, FSA announces dates for farm bill safety net programsWASHINGTON —

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced key dates for farm owners and produc-ers to keep in mind regard-ing the new 2014 Farm Bill established programs, Agriculture Risk Cover-age (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC). The new programs, designed to help producers better manage risk, usher in one of the most significant reforms to U.S. farm programs in decades.

“The ARC and PLC pro-grams are a significant reform in the farm safe-ty net,” said Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administra-tor Val Dolcini. “FSA wants to keep producers well informed on all steps in the process. We will continue our outreach efforts and

maintain resources online to help them understand the new programs before they come in to make deci-sions for their operations.”

Dates associated with ARC and PLC that farm owners and producers need to know:

• Sept. 29 to Feb. 27, 2015: Land owners may visit their local Farm Ser-vice Agency office to update yield history and/or reallocate base acres.

• Nov. 17 to March 31, 2015: Producers make a one-time election of either ARC or PLC for the 2014 through 2018 crop years.

• Mid-April through summer 2015: Producers sign contracts for 2014 and 2015 crop years.

• October 2015: Pay-ments for 2014 crop year, if needed.

USDA leaders will visit with producers across the country to share informa-tion and answer questions on the ARC and PLC pro-grams.

USDA helped create online tools to assist in the decision process, allowing farm owners and produc-ers to enter information about their operation and see projections that show what ARC and/or PLC will mean for them under pos-sible future scenarios. The new tools are now avail-able at www.fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc. Farm owners and producers can access the online resources from the convenience of their home computer or mobile device at any time. USDA provid-ed $3 million to the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI)

at the University of Missou-ri and the Agricultural and Food Policy Center (AFPC) at Texas A&M (co-leads for the National Association of Agricultural and Food Policy), along with the Uni-versity of Illinois (lead for the National Coalition for Producer Education) to develop these online tools.

Covered commodities include barley, canola, large and small chickpeas, corn, crambe, flaxseed, grain sorghum, lentils, mustard seed, oats, pea-nuts, dry peas, rapeseed, long grain rice, medium

grain rice (which includes short grain rice), safflow-er seed, sesame, soybeans, sunflower seed and wheat. Upland cotton is no longer a covered commodity.

The announcement was made possible through the 2014 Farm Bill, which builds on historic econom-ic gains in rural America over the past five years, while achieving meaning-ful reform and billions of dollars in savings for the taxpayer. Since enactment, USDA has made significant progress to implement each provision of this crit-

ical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk man-agement tools; expand-ing access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative public-private conserva-tion partnerships; devel-oping new markets for rural-made products; and investing in infrastructure, housing and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America.

Red Devils roll into playoffsBy Kevin Hieronymus

[email protected]

PRINCETON — Prince-ton scored early, but Jake Merkel and Hall scored often Friday at Bryant Field.

Merkel scored four touchdowns to lead the Red Devils to a runaway 65-28 win over the Tigers in the 2014 regular sea-son and Three Rivers fina-le. For the Red Devils, it stamped their seventh win of the season to improve their playoff seeding which will be determined Saturday evening.

“It’s been the goal the past four weeks to get to 7-2 and win out and get to where we needed to be. They finished up well tonight,” Hall coach Randy Tieman said. “The kids came out and made a statement.”

“(7-2) is all they talked about making the playoffs and helping us with our playoff seed. Trying to get a better game and hope-fully at home,” Merkel said.

Merkel had a night he said he could have never dreamed of, scoring in three different ways — offensively, defensive-ly and special teams. He scored on two pass recep-tions (47 and 37 yards), by

punt return (35 yards) and by an interception return (35 yards).

“This is probably my best game in awhile I’ve had,” Merkel said, think-ing back to his younger days. “It was a great game. I never expected that. I don’t know, fun time.”

Fun time indeed. Describing the punt return, Merkel said, “Once I saw the ball bounce, I just took my chance. I

noticed when I got to the right side, I had a bunch of guys blocking. They did a great job. and I was able to score from there.

“On the interception, I saw the ball up and went after it,” he added.

Kai Tomaszewski got the Tigers on the board first, racing 44 yards to give the Tigers a 7-0 lead at the 5:59 mark of the first quarter. He also ran for a 42-yard score late in the second quarter.

There was too many Hall touchdowns in between for the Tigers to stay in the game.

The Red Devil parade started when junior quar-terback Drew Pullam con-nected with Julian Barro-so on a seven-yard pass with 9:37 left in the second quarter.

Steamers spoilBV playoff hopes

By Brian WiedmanShaw Media Service

FULTON – With 32.1 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, the sea-sons for the Ful-ton and Bureau Valley football teams hung in the balance.

The Storm were hoping a measure-ment on the Steamer 29 would pro-duce a fresh set of downs, and with it, a chance to pro-long what had been a wild game.

The Steam-ers, meanwhile, were hoping at least one link of a chain would extend beyond the football, resulting in a change of possession.

After a few agonizing seconds, the measure-ment was completed, and each team learned their

fate. Bureau Valley was short of the first down, and Fulton was able to run out the clock on a 35-27 victory.

The Steamers (6-3, 4-2 Three Rivers North) now advance to the playoffs for the first time since the 2007 season – a fact that the players were reminded of each

time they took the field, courtesy of a sign in the north end zone.

The Steamers didn’t take their first lead until midway through the third quarter, when a 1-yard run by sophomore quarterback Tyler

Sweenie, coupled with a 2-point conversion run by Sweenie, put Fulton ahead 28-21.

Fulton padded its lead with 9:07 remaining in the fourth quarter, after Jason Osborn caught a 7-yard

Halm, Bruins roll past SherrardBy dan [email protected]

SHERRARD — The St. Bede Academy Bruins and Sam Halm played the spoil-ers for Sherrard’s Senior Night as the Bruins domi-nated their opponent 53-26 in Sherrard to clinch a play-off berth.

Senior end and defensive back Sam Halm was every-where on the field as he played a major role in the win recovering two fum-bles, intercepting two Sher-

rard passes, recording a blocked punt and catching one touchdown with over 100 yards receiving.

“He’s had two good weeks in a row. He’s a great ath-lete and he’s coming into his own. We look for him to do that because he’s been a three-year starter for us,” SBA coach John Bellino said.

The Bruins will take a 6-3 record into the play-offs, awaiting their playoff assignment Saturday night.

Junior back Baylee Hopps came out of nowhere in the

first quarter, scoring three touchdowns on runs of 12, 21 and six yards to give SBA an 18-6 lead after one quarter.

The Bruins extended their lead 24-6 on a one-yard pitch to senior back Justin Shaw at 7:37 of the second.

SBA struck again four minutes later as senior quarterback Jack Brady found sophomore receiv-er Braidy Shipp down the left sideline for a 38-yard

Notebook

Colmones, EPG repeat at stateBy Kevin Hieronymus

[email protected]

Ken Colmone’s El Paso-Gridley golf team won their second straight IHSA Class 1A Boys state golf cham-pionship.

The Titans defeated Winnetka North Shore Country Day for the second straight season for the title, this time by 10 strokes (619-629).

Colmone, a 1981 graduate of Hall High School, said the Titans had a target on their back this season unlike last year when they kind of flew under the radar.

“This was a great accomplish-ment for our team and program. It’s tough enough to win one state championship, but to win two is extra special,” he said. “It’s tough to even describe, and I’m not sure that it has really sank in yet. It shows the hard work and dedication that our kids put into their golf games. They came to practice every night ready to work.

“We constantly used the phrase, ‘Are there any other teams working as hard as we are today?’ They have been working all season with one goal in mind.”

Colmone’s son Kyle, is a senor

member of the team. They are believed to be one of only five father-son tandems to win a state championship in any sport in Illi-nois. Another, who also did it twice, included the late Manual basketball coach Wayne McClain, who passed away last week, and his son, Sergio.

“Having Kyle on the team was another special moment in my life, and it felt great to be able to share this moment with him,” Ken Colmone said. “I was very proud of him the entire season. He battled all season long and posted solid scores throughout the year. We have three seniors, Kyle being one, that I will miss greatly in our program. It will be a little tougher next season with-

out Kyle being there.” The EPG team is headed by twins

Michael and Brandon Mounce. Nat-urally, the twins tied for third place individually with identical 148s.

EPG has not lost a dual or triangu-lar meet in three years. EPG was state runner-up in 2012 to North Shore.

touchdown reception and a 32-6 lead.

A six-yard TD scam-per with 58.9 left in the first half by senior back Dexter Baker was quickly countered by the Tigers as sophomore receiver Luke Kissner got behind the SBA defense as time ran out in the to make the

SBA lead 39-12 at the half.The teams combined to

score three touchdowns in a 46-second span from 10:57 to 10:11 of the fourth quarter.

Sherrard struck first on a one-yard run by senior running back Nathan Kelly.

Brady and Halm con-nected on a 53-yard toss and catch moments later, which was immediate-ly, answered Swanson and junior receiver Blake

Lampo on a 65-yard bomb to cut the SBA lead 46-26.

“Defensively we played alright. When you play against a team that is passing it like that and their boy did a nice job tonight, they made some nice catches, you’re going to give up some points,” Bellino said.

Shaw added the final score of the evening as he streaked down the side-line for a 45-yard comple-

tion, which was Brady’s third touchdown toss of the evening.

“Right now we just want to get healthy,”Belli-no said. “We’re banged up a little bit. We’ve got some ankle troubles. I think we’ve just got to get on the same page but we’ll be ready to go on Monday.”

• The St. Bede sophs won 32-12 to finish 8-1.

StormFrom Page 13

TD pass from Sweenie to up the margin to 35-27.

Bureau Valley (4-5, 3-3) had three possessions the rest of the game, but were unable to push across the potential tying score. The Storm twice stuffed the Steamers on fourth-and-short opportunities in the final 4 minutes to keep their hopes alive.

“We absolutely played our hearts out,” BV coach Spencer Davis said. “I absolutely love these kids. They’re great kids, and I’m just so proud of them.”

Freshman quarterback Drake Davis tossed TD passes of 64 and 35 yards

to Parker Neuhalfen to pace the BV offense. The Storm’s other scores came on runs of 11 yards by Will Konneck and 8 yards by Tommy Johnston.

Michael Pidde, Trey Simmons and Sweenie scored on short runs for Fulton. Simmons got the Steamers on the board first with a 75-yard kick-off return midway through the first quarter.

Bureau Valley (4-5) likely would have been a playoff qualifier if it could have reached five wins. Instead, the program’s playoff drought is now at four sea-sons.

“They’re a good team,” Simmons said. “I’ve got to give it to them, but we just wanted it more tonight.”

Merkel scored twice and Tyler Taber raced for a 61-yard score to put the Red Devils up 28-7 with three minutes left before half.

“Once we started pass-ing, Drew was right on and our lineman held up and able to give him time to throw the ball and we just executed from there,” Merkel said.

“We saw some things on offense we could get away with. We had a little more speed on them on the edges. So we got some kids open and they made some plays for us,” Tieman said.

The Red Devils led by as much as 61-21 when Christian Smith scored on a 9-yard run to put the run-ning clock into effect with 9:21 left to play.

“They did a nice job on defense and did a very nice answering back on offense. We just didn’t step up in certain situation to make the plays. They took advan-tage of the opportunities they had,” PHS coach Jesse Snyder said.

On the heels of a 20-game losing streak, Snyder said the Tigers made “a lot of great strides the past three years and we’ve got to con-

tinue to build on those things and continue to get better at the things we do offensively and defensive-ly.”

Pullam connected on 21 of 28 passes for 348 yards and six TDs. Merkel and Barroso each had two TD catches and A.J. Gaeta and Tyler Taber had one each.

The Red Devils will meet at the Moose Lodge in Ladd Saturday night to watch the playoff pairing show to see who and when they will play next. Tie-man, whose team reached the second round of the playoffs last year, said he has no idea who they will draw.

“I’ve heard so many things. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, the IHSA will change it. Whoever we get we just got to get ready for,” Tieman said.

• Notes: The PHS soph-omores (3-6) finished on a winning note with a 28-6 win over the Red Demons. Kendile Whitford scored all four touchdowns includ-ing 45- and 25-yard scores. ... PHS quarterback Jake Reinhardt caught his own first-quarter pass for a six-yard reception when the ball deflected off of a Hall defender.
