A request for courage Kinzinger traveling office filled with concerns about democratic process By Dave Cook
news@putnamcountyrecord.com
The actions taken during Donald Trump’s first 12 days in the Oval Office helped fill the village hall in DePue with area residents from a host of Illinois Valley communities. All were eager to discuss with their congressman a multitude of concerns. Congressman Adam Kinzinger sent staff to his traveling office in DePue on Jan. 31. The first in a series throughout
the 16th District, the meetings are meant to hear the concerns of constituents and provide guidance. If the traveling office in DePue was any indication of what the rest of them will be like, the congressman and his staff will have plenty to address. Issues raised during the DePue traveling office included health care; environmental concerns; immigration; the president’s impulsiveness, his apparent inability to accept criticism and facts; his willingness to conduct global diplomacy via social media while
disregarding experienced diplomats; conflicts of interest; hastily crafted Executive Orders being issued without proper consultation; misinformation; controversial cabinet nominees; congressional accountability; public education; reactionary partisan politics; the National Security Council; gag orders; ethics; Planned Parenthood funding; the failure to use proper procedures; and the threat to the First Amendment.

Greg Ridenour, an aide to Congressman Adam Kinzinger, listened to a wide array of concerns during the traveling office held in DePue on Jan. 31. The first of a series of traveling offices being held throughout the 16th District, constituents had plenty to say about the new presidential administration and commended Kinzinger for breaking from party lines to speak against how the recent immigration order was handled.

Church group finishes quilt that Rosemary Biagi began making in 1950s By Lori Boekeloo

narrow in on the right solution. Carter Funfsinn, a senior at SBA, built the model using scrap wood, an air pressure tank and some tubing and fabrication. He said the most expensive piece of the model was actually the basketball, which cost $20.
HENNEPIN — This is a story that started over 60 years ago in the tiny town of Hennepin. It began before the steel mill came to town. It began before there was a grocery store and four taverns. It began before the firehouse and the new bank. Newlyweds Rosemary and Frank Biagi bought a little house on the west end of High Street, before there was a street sign to indicate their address. When their daughter, Rosalie, was small, Rosemary would take her next door to Bessie Hollumbach’s house to visit, as neighbors did often during those times. “She had a tiny little rocking chair for Rosalie, along with a small box containing sewing supplies,” Rosemary recalled. During these visits, the three of them began to piece together a quilt topper, made from the scraps of various projects that Rosemary had sewn for Rosalie and then her younger daughter, Chris. Over time, the quilt grew larger and larger, but before it could be completed, Hollumbach became ill and so the project was put aside. It was packed away in a box, and on the rare occasion it was seen, Rosemary indicated her desire to finish it, but the demands of being a mother and wife left it as a low priority. Decades passed and eventually Frank grew ill and died. Rosemary was left to live alone in their home. The kids had grown and married and moved on. Though they visited often, it eventually became apparent that

St. Bede AP physics class attempts slam dunk By Goldie Rapp

orem, projectile motion and kinematics play out in real life. While the device has yet to make a slam dunk, it is able to shoot a basketball across the gymnasium — and pretty close to the basket. Students are still experimenting, working out the kinks and referring back to their formulas. But they are determined to

The basketball launcher model is designed to shoot a ball across court. Students are still working on final adjustments in hopes the ball will soon make an actual basket.
AP physics teacher Rick Fess compared the model to a giant potato gun, only much safer because it doesn’t require fuel for the explosion. The device works like so: About a gallon of air is pressurized in a tank to about 100 psi. When the tank’s valve is quickly opened, it discharges the air at a high rate of speed. The air bursts into a tube connected to a barrel that holds the basketball in place. The barrel is designed to fit the ball tightly, so when the burst of air pushes on the ball, it creates friction. This allows for pressure to build-up behind the ball before creating enough impact to shoot the ball across the court.
While teaching the laws of physics in front of the class in one thing, Fess said incorporating handson experiments, like the basketball launcher, makes learning more fun for students and allows them to visualize lessons and equations written out in a textbook. The model the students are currently working on has undergone several modifications to help it work efficiently. Funfsinn said with a lot of trial and error, the model is what it is today. The first model was a more portable setup, where the pressurized tank was held by a student during the launch. But the class quickly discovered the recoil was hard to manage, and a wooden frame had to be built to hold the tank in place during the explosion. Now with a stronger
model, Fess said students are reworking the math and lining up velocities to get the right aim for that basketball to swish through the hoop. A lesson being taught on the side of this experiment is that real life scenarios can be more challenging to figure out as opposed to problems displayed on a whiteboard. While students have solved the equation that tells them the ball should make a clean basket, their calculation doesn’t factor in things like air leaks and other elements or situations So figuring out an answer around those circumstances is what’s keeping students actively brainstorming for the upshot. To see students launch the basketball across the SBA gymnasium, watch BCR’s Tout video at www. bcrnews.com.

Stitch From Page 1 Rosemary would no longer be comfortable living by herself, so Rosalie and her husband, Bill Calbow, offered to let her move in with them to their condo in Henry, a short distance away. Fifty years of memories and belongings had accumulated in the house and the thought of moving it was overwhelming. Rosalie, who battles her own health issues, was unable to do it without help, so she hired a helper to help them sort through and move everything. Over the next few months, the women would all gather at the house and take down boxes and sort through them in an attempt to downsize. Rosemary would sit on her bed as each box came down and would laugh and reminisce and tell stories of the dolls with the ratty hair, and the knickknacks that were given to her by this person, or that person. They even found her original wedding gown, complete with a long yellowed veil and her wedding shoes, with her silk stockings tucked neatly inside. There was bittersweet laughter and tears as she made decisions about what could go with her and what
had to be discarded or donated. When they came to the box with the quilt topper, it was decided that since it was unfinished, it wouldn’t be included in the move. The woman helping Rosemary asked if she could take it and see if one of her friends might be willing to finish it for Rosemary. Rosemary agreed. The helper had no luck finding someone to finish the quilt, but felt it had significance and much sentimentality. She attends Willow Springs Mennonite Church and had recently become more active in their Women’s Group, so she decided to approach the ladies and see if they would be willing to tackle the project. Isabel Bitting, a longtime leader in the group, enthusiastically agreed to help. She said, “It is so nice to have a project that means something. The quilts we make and donate to the Mennonite Relief Sale are beautiful, but this quilt will have meaning.” As the women sorted through the various materials that could be used as a backing, Beth Gerig came across an ample piece, which by luck or fate contained the exact colors needed to compliment the hodgepodge, mismatched pattern on the front. As a bonus, it also con-

tained hearts and small roses to compliment Rosemary’s name and the love that was being put into the quilt. Bitting’s enthusiasm infected the entire church. She announced one Sunday that the quilt was in the quilting room, and she would love for anyone to come down and put a few knots in the quilt. The list of contributors was long, and included young and old, women and even men. Visitors that Sunday made their way down so they could participate in this labor of love. As they knotted, there was conversation, laughter and much fellowship. It didn’t take long for the quilt to be completed. Bitting gave the quilt to the helper with a tag reading, “Pieced by Rosemary Biagi in the early 1950’s. Knotted and finished in 2016 by her friends at Willow Springs Mennonite Church.” During this whole process, Rosemary had no idea what was going on. The helper and Rosalie conspired to present it to her when the family was gathering for their Christmas meal. The bag was given to her and her face lit up. The children, grandchildren and great grandchildren gathered around as she pointed to the different fabrics and told their stories. “Remember this one

I made you that winter coat out of this black and white checked fabric,” she recalled. Chris said later, “The quilt is stories and memories of life. Each small square has a story.

She was so touched,” Rosalie said.

Kinzinger From Page 1 Princeton resident Deborah Yeazel was the first to voice a concern and said, “After Mr. Trump’s immigration order, my major concern is national security. The president’s inner circle is made up of people without any national experience. I want the congressman to voice our worry that this inexperience is putting our country and our allies at risk.” Kinzinger aide Greg Ridenour assured Yeazel national security was “an extremely high priority” for the congressman, and he would inform him of the concern shared throughout the room. Carolyn Schafer of Princeton said, “What has become more important to me is the accountability of Congress and the judiciary. We have a three branch government, and we need the respective branches to keep their checks and balances.” She added later Kinzinger is one of those in Congress who has shown he’s willing to help keep things honest and has been diligent. She said she hoped he’d continue to work in that manner — a sentiment shared by others present. “It helps us to hear the varying view points of our constituents, and Congressman Kinzinger represents all of his constituents, which is why we hold these trav-
More concerns The following quotes were additional comments made at Kinzinger’s traveling office hours in DePue: • “The implications from the Executive Office is that Freedom of Speech is under attack, and the press is under attack. If you want to appear to respect the process or to appear to actually want to be the President of the United States, to promote our nation and the people, then actually working within the framework of the laws and regulations and the Constitution and civil rights is a great factor in that. It all seems as though it’s being washed away. The idea of giving the president a chance is all well and good, but in the last days he’s almost unilaterally started to destroy all that’s dear to us in this country, and that is what concerns me.” • “I’m overwhelmed with the number of issues over which I disagree with the Executive Branch of the government. The things that are making people fearful, angry, upset or hurt, which is happening often now, are things that we should speak up about. It’s not just the president, it’s the people around him and, frankly, in Congress that need to be held accountable.” • “Our system is not meant to function this way and can not function this way if we want it to survive.” • “The very fabric of our democracy is under threat of being unraveled.” • “It would be nice, and perhaps helpful, to every once in awhile hear someone say, ‘We didn’t do a good job on that,’ or ‘We made a mistake.’ I don’t think we’re ever going to hear that from this particular president. It’s not just the president who is on the hot seat, it’s all of the people who participate in, not only making the decision, but accepting it and acting on it.” • “That we are being bombarded with so many things is an old military tactic. Start bombing people, and they won’t be able to pay attention to the back line. We have all of this information and trying to focus on just one issue is almost impossible. Education, immigration, the gutting of EPA regulations and the State Department, with all of these things and more going on it’s hard to know where to turn to see people acting ethically.” • “The president’s actions are a deliberate attempt to keep everyone off-balance and lose focus. I would like you to inform the congressman that we are going to stay focused.” • “The speed with which these orders have been issued paints a picture of a small group of people trying to fulfill campaign promises without consideration of the implications.” • “With what is going on with some of the federal agencies and their ability to release information, to post information on their websites, to say anything to anybody about anything, along with Mr. Bannon and others, who have engaged in ‘alternative facts’ and who have declared that the best thing for the press to do is keep their mouths shut, is very troubling.” • “These discussions are no longer philosophical, they’re reality. These issues touch the lives of everyone here.” eling offices. This is a way he can better represent you and be your voice in Washington,” Ridenour said.
Another area resident said, “We need to ensure we have a thoughtful process going forward. We know
there will be disagreements. Progressives and conservatives aren’t always going to agree, but I think we’re at a
point where the legitimacy of the process and the legitimacy of the government is threatened, so I commend the congressman for what he’s done so far. I hope he’ll continue to stand and insist that the government works as it’s designed to do and be a check against what could be excesses from the Executive Branch.” Spring Valley resident Mary Jane Marini, a retired educator, voiced concerns about Betsy DeVos’ nomination for Education Secretary and what it could mean for public and special education, particularly in rural areas. Rick Brooks of Princeton said, “It’s not only the goals that are at issue; it’s what the intentions are; how the goals are accomplished; and what the consequences are. One of the most worrisome things is so many of the decisions are being made with little regard to the large number of people adversely affected. I think the congressman is correct to question that, and I appreciate his honesty. I want to encourage him to have the courage when he feels as though ‘This is not right,’ because he does have support among his constituents to do the right thing.” When the issue of de-funding Planned Parenthood was raised, Ridenour stated Congressman Kinzinger was against using federal funds to provide abortion services.
Immediately and in unison, nearly every woman present responded that wasn’t the case and spoke of the importance of Planned Parenthood services to the well-being of women. Princeton resident Bill Bouxsein reminded Ridenour of the Hyde Amendment which already restricts federal funding for abortion except in certain circumstances. DePue Mayor Eric Bryant said he was fearful of the changes being made to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and how it’s affecting clean-up efforts in the village. “In regards to DePue, we’ve been dealing with the EPA for more than 20 years, and we were finally getting close to getting something done. The bottom line is that the Superfund process is a mess. For us to have to wait more than 21 years to have CBS and Exxon Mobil clean our property, where our kids play and which is filled with lead and arsenic, is just wrong. The process needs to be changed,” Bryant said. Others spoke of respecting our country’s democratic processes and of being willing to allow Trump a chance to succeed, but added they wish he’d show a similar respect for our democracy by following proper procedures. Those present all spoke highly of Kinzinger and in appreciation of his willingness to break partisan lines when needed.

Call me a nerd, but I’ve always looked forward Goldie to the Academy Rapp Awards — I love seeing the HollyCOMMENTARY wood glamour, the movie nominations and those memorial speeches that stick with us. My husband and I have made it our mission each year to watch the best motion picture nominees and rate them on our own. We’re big movie fans as it is, but we especially enjoy staying up on the supposed best films of the year. My love for the Oscar awards stems back to when I was kid. I can remember being in junior high and having to beg my mom to let me stay up late to watch the awards show, which fell on a Sunday evening. Despite it being a school night, my mom always gave in and let me watch the entire program, which usually didn’t end until 11 p.m. Eastern time (I grew up in Michigan). I still think back on the memorable moments in Oscar history I didn’t miss out on. I was watching when Halle Barry became the first black woman to receive a best actress award for her role in “Monster’s Ball.” I still remember the year when 55 Academy Award statuettes were stolen before the ceremony, and later found in a dumpster by a man who repaired discarded objects for a living. He received $50,000 for his heroic actions and also got a free front row ticket to the ceremony that year. Another memory that pops into my head is the year Keisha Castle-Hughes, who was 12 years old at the time, was nominated as best actress for “Whale Rider.” I believe she was the youngest girl nominee at the time. I’ll never forget seeing her all dressed up, stepping out of her limo and walking the red carpet like it was no big deal. I definitely envied her that night. One of the most recent memories I think about is when actress Jennifer Lawrence tripped on her grown when walking up to the stage to receive her best actress award for “Silver Linings Playbook.” In that moment, Lawrence reminded us all that even the biggest stars in Hollywood are human. And then there’s last year, when actor Leonardo DiCaprio finally won a best actor award for his role in “The Revenant.” Many movie fans thought this was a long overdue honor after DiCaprio had received five previous best actor nominations throughout his 22-year acting career. Unfortunately, it seems he had to eat a raw bison liver to earn his award. This year, I’m looking forward to tuning in again on Sunday, Feb. 26, and watching to see what sort of history might be made. The best picture nominees for 2017 include, “Arrival,” “Fences,” “Hacksaw Ridge,” “Hell or High Water,” “Hidden Figures,” “La La Land,” “Lion,” “Manchester by the Sea” and “Moonlight.” While I’ll admit my husband and I have only seen two of the nine nominees, I’m secretly rooting for “La La Land” to win this year. Aside from its 13 other Oscar nominations, who can’t say “no” to a musical starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone? Shaw Media Staff Writer Goldie Rapp can be reached at grapp@putnamcountyrecord.com.

Putting it quickly into perspective I really didn’t want to write a column this week. While this Saturday column is probably my favorite thing to do here at the newspaper, I just wasn’t in the mood. I’m not sure why or if it even matters. I just know I really had nothing to say. Several years back, I remember sitting in the newsroom when our office was on South Main Street, and I was staring at a blank computer screen. BCR Publisher Sam Fisher walked into the newsroom and looked at the empty screen and asked what the problem was. I quickly told him I had writer’s block. He just as promptly told me the next day was payday, and he had writer’s cramp. That impromptu conversation still makes me laugh. I don’t mind telling you writing columns comes in spurts. In my world; it’s feast or famine. I either have a host of things I want to write about, or on the flip side, the cupboard is bare. Either can be a problem, since too many thoughts clutter my mind, keeping me from doing any subject justice, and the problem of nothing to say — well, the result of that issue is obvious — I can’t publish a blank newspaper page, just because my thoughts are resisting my fingers on this keyboard. It’s a battle sometimes. The old cliche about attempting to herd cats seems appropriate, as I try to harness one single topic in my head when my mind is going every which way and refusing to focus on the task at hand. I’d like to think after 20-plus years of column writing that I’ve mastered the approach, but nothing could be further from the truth. You can’t master writing because just when you think you have, your heart, your head, your emotions get in the way — and that blank screen in front of you — well, it’s the enemy in my daily world. And so there I was sitting at this
Terri Simon COMMENTARY mess of a desk I call home at the Bureau County Republican — the blank screen repeatedly calling my name, while I repeatedly ignored its beckoning call. It’s a battle of sorts, between me and this nagging computer. I was actually thankful for my other dastardly distraction — the phone — which had been ringing all day. I answered the constant ringing, glad for the break from the other enemy. “Newsroom. Terri,” I said without much excitement in my voice. The person on the other end of the phone was young. I later found out she was 12, but her words were far more seasoned than most of the other 12 year olds I’ve met throughout the years. I could tell she was choosing her words carefully, and she was filled with all the professionalism a pre-teen could exude. Without betraying the girl’s confidence, this young lady told me she lives with her grandmother, who is 78 years old. She hadn’t seen her mom in about two years, and she doesn’t know her father. She has an aunt who lives in Kansas City, but she hasn’t seen her in “a long time.” She told me the above statements as facts — clearly not to illicit any feelbadly-for-me emotions. The reason for her call? Well, it was quite simple. This pre-teen knows she isn’t old enough to hold down a job, but she needs/wants to make some money. She said her grandma tries very hard, but the money her grandma gets every month isn’t enough to keep the two of them going. She talked about
her grandma’s need for medicine, which she doesn’t regularly buy, and all the other real necessities they can’t get because of Grandma’s limited income. Someone told her to give me a call because I might be able to help. “I’m not complaining,” she said quickly. “I just am wondering if there’s a way I can help. If I could just earn a little money somehow, then maybe it would be easier on Grandma.” She wanted to know if the newspaper had any jobs for someone her age, or did I know anybody who might hire her, so she could earn a little money. The young girl said she worries about her grandma’s health, and what would happen if her grandma were to get sick and become unable to care for the two of them. I heard the little girl’s voice crack a couple of times throughout the conversation. My heart broke over and over again. Life has a way of slapping you alongside your head, doesn’t it? A few minutes earlier, I was getting in a tizzy because I was staring at a blank computer screen — clearly a small problem compared to what this little girl was going through. While my computer screen is no longer empty, the contents of this column will stick with me for a long time. A little girl with big adult problems — that’s not how life is supposed to be. Children are not supposed to be plagued with such big worries. I’ve said it before — we have no idea what battles others are fighting. That 12-year-old girl put it all into perspective for me that day. Shame on me for getting so nutty about something so petty, when others are clearly fighting real battles which they may or may not win.

Roelfsemas create scholarships OGLESBY — John and Cheryl Roelfsema of Marseilles have established a pair of Illinois Valley Community College Foundation scholarships to memorialize Cheryl’s father and sister. The Bud Connelly Scholarship will provide $2,000 for tuition and books to a student for the 2017-18 academic year. Connelly, Roelfsema’s father, died in 2010 at age 93. Before joining the Army, Connelly worked in the lumber camps of northern Minnesota, on harvest crews in North Dakota and in sawmills in eastern Oregon. In World War II, he sustained serious head and leg injuries and earned a purple heart while serving on an anti-tank unit. Following his discharge in 1945, Connelly returned to Minnesota where he worked in the woods until 1968. He then moved to Oregon and operated B & M Logging from 1974 to 1988. “My father was a disabled World War II veteran, but that did not stop him from a 50-plus-year career as a timber feller. He
was also a farmer and an excellent horseman,” said Roelfsema, IVCC vice president for business services and finance. A second award, the Sharon O’Brien Scholarship, will provide $1,000 for tuition and books to an IVCC single parent this fall. O’Brien died in September at age 76 in Eugene, Ore. The top student in her 1958 Williams, Minn., high school class, O’Brien raised two children in Minneapolis before moving to Oregon in 1968. “My sister worked for 30 years as a business manager in the Oregon public school system,” said Roelfsema. “Though she was valedictorian of her high school class, she never had the opportunity to attend college.” The deadline to apply for the Connelly and O’Brien awards and all other IVCC Foundation scholarships is Feb. 10. Students are also required to have their FAFSA submitted online by that date. For information, call Donna Swiskoski at 815224-0551.
Stage 212 seeks directors for 2018 season Applications due Feb. 15 LASALLE — Stage 212 in LaSalle is currently seeking submissions from directors for the 2018 season, which marks the organization’s 50th anniversary. They are looking for well-known, highly recognizable shows for the winter, spring, summer and fall slots to commemorate the occasion. Winter productions are typically small musicals or comedy/dramas, the spring and fall shows are comedy/dramas and the summer production is traditionally a big musical, but other proposals will be considered. The organization will consider all submissions, including repeats of past shows if they have not been per-
