Registering online to vote?

How many drinks?

NTSB makes recommendation on lowering drunk driving numbers

By Donna Barker

A problem or a plus?

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The state of Illinois is looking at passing legislation which would allow citizens to register online to vote.

On Monday, Bureau County Clerk Kami Hieronymus said getting more people to register to vote isn’t really the problem. The problem is getting registered voters to actually go out and vote, she said.

Though she understands the premise of online registration to encourage people to register to vote, there are already several registration options out there for people, including county clerks’ offices, driver’s license facilities, and some high schools, Hieronymus said. Though opportunities for voter registration may be a problem for people living in cities, she doesn’t see that as a problem in rural areas.

Another problem she sees with online voter registration is the increased possibility of voter fraud.

When people come into her office to register to vote, there is the person-to-person contact, which lessens any potential identification problem or voter fraud, she said.

Again, there are plenty of opportunities for voter registration, without the potential problems caused by online registration, Hieronymus said. As she said before, the problem isn’t voter registration, but rather getting registered voters to the polls.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, Bureau County has more than 23,000 registered voters. For the most recent April 9 consolidated election, the average voter turnout for the county was at 35.32 percent with 8,449 of the county’s 23,919 registered voters going to the polls.

The National Transportation Safety Board has voted to recommend all states lower their blood-alcohol content that constitutes drunk driving from .08 to .05.

Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson said he thinks the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is overreacting.

“I’ve heard about this, and I’m quite concerned they are overreacting,” Thompson said. “I’m very comfortable

with the current level in the sense that those who are abusing alcohol will be caught and punished.”

By lowering the level, Thompson said he’s concerned this would affect individuals who are simply enjoying a social drink on an evening out.

Swim at your own risk Are you and your children prepared for swimming season?

The one that didn’t get away Grace Mason holds the turtle she caught at the annual Tiskilwa Canal Days event, held Saturday on the Hennepin Canal, two miles north of Tiskilwa. The event included a variety of activities for folks of all ages and was hosted by the Tiskilwa Community Association and the Illinois Valley Whitetails Unlimited. The Bureau County Republican sponsored the event.

Many area community pools have opened their gates and unleashed the swimming season.

With the start of pool days, however, it’s important to take precautions and swim smart this season.

According to a recent press release issued by the American Red Cross, a lot of families plan to swim in areas without lifeguards but lack basic water safety knowledge.

Bureau County American Red Cross Director Lori Compton said all kids should have swimming lessons and know how to swim at a young age.

“When you’re around water, you want to have that feeling that your child will know what to do,” she said.

Compton said Bureau County is lucky to have area pools that teach the American Red Cross swimming program.

“People should take this program, so that it elevates the anxious feeling of being at the pool and your child not knowing how to swim,” she said.

Gabriella Dhesse, who is a certified lifeguard and co-manger of the community pool in Spring Valley, reminds people to never swim alone and be familiar with surroundings.

“Know where the nearest place is to call for help and know about potentials dangers, whether it’s depth, current, undertow, drains, jellyfish or sharks,” she said.

Dhesse said it’s also important to have a lifeguard on duty at all times and realize that an incident could arise at any time.

“In my five previous years I have only witnessed two major incidents where an ambulance had to be called,” she said.

“Every incident was completely unexpected, but the lifeguards were trained to take action and assist the individual.”

In a recent survey taken by the American Red Cross, it showed 67 percent of people believe “water wings” keep kids safe in the water.

Princeton Park District aquatics coordinator Beth Coleman said water wings can pop and are not a reliable flotation device.

Four enter not guilty pleas in NIU fraternity drinking death

By Felix Sarver Shaw Media Service

SYCAMORE — Four of five Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity members accused of hazing a 19-year-old Northern Illinois University student who later died were arraigned and have pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Alex M. Jandick, 21, of Naperville, the fraternity president; fraternity Vice President James P. Harvey, 21, of DeKalb; pledge adviser Omar Salameh, 22, of DeKalb; and Patrick W. Merrill, 20, of DeKalb, pleaded not guilty on May 28 to felony and misdemean-

or hazing charges. They will next appear in court June 25.

If convicted of the felony charge, the men could be sentenced to probation or up to three years in prison.

Charges were filed against the Pi Kappa Alpha members after NIU student David Bogenberger was found dead Nov. 2 at the fraternity’s house located at 1020 W. Hillcrest Drive.

Authorities said a toxicology report showed Bogenberger had a blood-alcohol content of 0.351 percent when he died. DeKalb County

Coroner Dennis Miller ruled Bogenberger’s death as accidental. He said the cause of death was “cardiac arrhythmia, with alcohol intoxication as a significant condition contributing to his death.”

The fraternity hosted an unsanctioned party Nov. 1 for 18 pledges, including Bogenberger, authorities said. Bogenberger and the other pledges drank alcohol for about two hours while playing a game in which they were assigned “moms” and “dads” and asked a series of questions, authorities said.

Steven A. Libert, 21,

of Naperville was not arraigned last week in court. Judge John McAdams said he had recused himself as there was a conflict of interest. His wife is an attorney who has a professional working relationship with Richard A. Kayne. Libert’s attorney, Joshua Dieden works for Richard A. Kayne and Associates.

McAdams said Libert would have his case reassigned by Judge Robbin Stuckert on June 25.

Harvey’s attorney, J. Brick Van Der Snick said there are severe problems with the language of the statute.

“The statute itself as written is too broad and unconstitutional,” Van Der Snick said.

Bogenberger’s family filed a lawsuit Feb. 14 seeking more than $100,000 in damages from the national and local Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. The lawsuit names more than 20 students.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, a NIU student from Princeton was among the students charged with a misdemeanor offense in the hazing death incident.

Putting some teeth in dog bites

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON – State Farm Insurance recently release its annual Top 10 states for dog bite claims and listed Illinois as the second state with the most claims in 2012.

According to the press release, 337 dog bite claims were made in Illinois and an estimated $9 million worth of claims were paid.

Throughout the entire United States, State Farm recorded a collective 3,670 dog bites claims and paid more than $108 million as a result of those bites.

Since State Farm insurance agent Cody Burroughs opened his office in Spring Valley last April, he has only seen one claim made for a dog bite but has seen more frequent cases in other areas he has been located.

The number of claims in the state didn’t come as much of a surprise to Burroughs. He said people have to take in account that Illinois has Chicago. Also, with the higher percentage of rural areas, there could be more relaxed leash laws and less yards with fenced in spots for their pet.

The rankings don’t stop with insurance companies,

however. The United States Postal Service also ranked Illinois No. 2 for recorded dog attacks, according to an American Veterinary Medical Association press release. It linked Chicago to 41 dog attacks in 2012.

According to the Bureau County Animal Control website, if bitten by a dog, it’s best to contact animal control immediately.

An animal control officer or clerk will advise of the observation procedure, obtain a description and location of the animal, obtain name, address and phone number of the victim, and obtain immunization status of the animal.

The website also reminds dog owners that each must be registered with the county every year to ensure all dogs are vaccinated and to prevent the spread of rabies.

The website states it investigates more than 150 dog bites a year and maintains registration records for this purpose.

If a citizen knows of a dog that is not registered they can report the owner of the dog anonymously at 815-879-5981 or through the “Anonymous Tips” web page on the animal control website.

Beat the bite: Tips on what to do to avoid a dog bite • Don’t run past a dog. Dogs naturally love to chase and catch things.

• Never disturb a dog that is caring for puppies, sleeping or eating.

• If a dog approaches to sniff, stay still. In most cases, the dog will go away when it determines there is not a threat.

• If threatened by a dog, remain calm. Don’t scream or yell. Speak calmly and firmly and avoid eye contact. Try to stay still until the dog leaves, or back away slowly until the dog is out of sight. Don’t turn and run.

• If knocked to the ground, curl into a ball with hands over head and neck. Protect your face.

Get the shopping bags ready More on 34 is June 14-15

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The eighth annual More on 34 garage sale, covering 140 miles with hundreds of vendors, is just days away.

Area tourism officials have announced More on 34 is set for June 14-15; the Route 34 highway is set to be packed with yard sales, antique shows, craft shows, flea markets and farmers markets.

Cathy Foes of Mineral, who serves as director for the Henry County Tourism Bureau, said More on 34 has grown each year in popularity and outreach, with bargain hunters, antique buyers and collectors from across the country coming to the heart of Illinois in search of rare finds and unique gifts.

“This is such a great event, a good way to find bargains, meet new people and experience

the Illinois countryside,” Foes said.

Participating communities along Route 34 include Galesburg, Wataga, Oneida, Altona, Galva, Kewanee, Neponset, Sheffield, Wyanet, Princeton, Dover, LaMoille, Mendota, Earlville, Leland, Somonauk, Sandwich, Plano, Yorkville and Aurora.

Sales typically run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day but some vendors open earlier or stay open later, Foes said, adding a few sellers even begin their sales on Thursday and continue through Sunday.

As an example of the More on 34 sales, the Bureau County Fairgrounds in Princeton will open its doors at 7 a.m. for the two-day sale of new and used items, antiques and collectibles.

Inside and outside selling spaces are still available at the fairgrounds by calling Nancy Monier at 815-303-2905. Admission is free to the fairgrounds sale.

Also, the Buddy Bags

program will also reserve spaces for sellers for $10 at the First Christian Church on Main Street in Princeton. The Buddy Bugs program was started about a year ago to provide food for atrisk children during the weekends.

Free advertising for individuals and groups for their More on 34 sales is available on the More on 34 website www. moreon34.com. Also, sellers can list their sales on two Facebook pages, including More on 34 Bureau County and the Bureau County Tourism Facebook page.

Kathy Costerisan, Bureau County’s tourism coordinator, said sales listed on the Bureau County Tourism page will also be listed on the Visit Bureau County web page. More information about Bureau County Tourism is available by contacting Costerisan at 815-794-1512.

On Monday, Costerisan said More on 34 has been a very successful event which is continuing to grow. The two-day

event brings a lot of commerce to the area with people driving the route from all over the state.

Not only do the shoppers find all kinds of bargains at the sales, but they also stop at the area restaurants and gas stations and notice the stores and shops along the way.

Though shoppers may or may not go into the area shops during that day, they will remember those shops and come back for another visit, Costerisan said.

Though she’s usually helping at the Bureau County Fairgrounds during More on 34, last year she was able to take advantage of the event as a shopper, Costerisan said. She drove from Princeton to Mendota, making a lot of stops, and it took her all day.

“It was so much fun, and I found some really good deals,” Costerisan said. “Not only do people from all over the state get some great bargains, they also get a good tour of this part of the state.”

Safety tips for swimmers • Be aware of your surroundings, and swim at your own risk: Don’t overestimate your swimming capabilities.

• Never swim alone: If something happens to one swimmer, the other can be there to call for or get help.

• Wear waterproof sunscreen: One of the most common issues related to swimming is sunburn.

If a major sunburn occurs, take a few days off and stay inside until it heals.

• When you’re tired, take a break: Even if you are a good swimmer, it’s important to be rested and give your body a chance to catch a break.

• Remember lifeguards are not babysitters: It’s important that parents are an arm’s length from their children and continuously are watching out fro their safety. A lifeguard may be watching 100 people at one time and might not notice a problem in time.

Swimming From Page 1 “Water wings only keep the body straight up and down afloat, and they don’t support the head; so a more proper flotation device is a life jacket,” she said.

Coleman recommends uses a life jacket with a head support. If an event occurs where a swimmer goes unconscious or experiences a medical emergency, their head will be lifted from the water, which will prevent the swimmer from drowning.

Dhesse said water wings also can slide off the arm when a child jumps into a pool with their hands in the air.

“Water wings are fine to use as a sort of assistance for the child while teaching them how to swim, but they are not a lifesaving device,” she said.

According to the Red Cross survey, 93 percent of people were unable to identify the correct order of steps for helping a

Legal limit From Page 1 Thompson said he’s sure the NTSB has its basis for making its recommendation, but it is not one with which he agrees.

Princeton Police Chief Tom Root said he thinks the current .08 limit is a fair standard and shouldn’t be changed.

Through the years, the legal blood alcohol limit has decreased from 0.15 to 0.10 to 0.08, Root said. If that impairment limit continues to go down, most people would be afraid to go out and have a couple drinks and then drive home, even though they would know they are not impaired, he said.

In no way does he support anyone driving while impaired, but he does think the .08 blood alcohol limit has been working fairly well, Root said.

swimmer in danger.

Coleman said the first thing to do is call for help. After the first step, look around to see if anything can be thrown in the water for the person to grab onto.

“You always want to try and help them before getting into the water,” she said.

If there is something available for the person to reach onto, pull them to safety. If they swallowed water or experienced some other type of emergency, call 9-1-1.

Dhesse recommends taking a either a lifeguarding class or CPR class.

“It’s one of the more general safety skills that is used on a daily basis and is an important life skill,” she said. “The American Red Cross has workers trained to teach CPR classes; the Spring Valley Fire Department teaches CPR, as well.

There are many different places you can go to be train in CPR.” Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

by the NTSB, Deborah Hersman, chairman of the NTSB, said the idea for a tighter standard is part of the safety board’s initiative outlined in a staff report and approved by the panel to eventually eliminate drunk driving, which accounts for about a third of all road deaths in the United States. The safety board believes lowering the rate to 0.05 would save about 500 to 800 lives annually.

Looking at the application of a lower blood alcohol limit, the NTSB states that under the current law, a 180-pound male typically will hit the 0.08 threshold after four drinks over an hour, according to an online blood alcohol calculator published by the University of Oklahoma. That same person could reach the 0.05 threshold after two to three drinks over the same period, according to the calculator.

Voting From Page 1 In a statement issued last week, Gov. Pat Quinn went on record in support of providing online voter registration,

saying online registration would move the Illinois election process into the 21st century by making voter registration easier and more readily available for everyday people.

Also, online voter

registration is a costeffective measure which would save taxpayer dollars and welcome new voters of all ages to our state’s democratic process, Quinn said.

“In today’s Internet

age, allowing residents to register online will help more voters raise their voices at the ballot box and strengthen our democracy,” Quinn said.

From the editor’s desk My yard looks like it’s recess time for squirrels, rabbits and every other little creature under God’s very green earth. Wow! Squirrels chasing each other — sometimes five or six at a time; rabbits sampling everything they can get their little teeth on; birds feeding lots of little open mouths and taunting the squirrels; and an occasional opossum or raccoon wandering through the backyard at night or scaring the be-jeebers out of me if I happen to be on the deck and they decide to meander across it after the sun goes down. Did I mention how the John Deere is getting quite a work-out this year ... when it’s dry enough to use it?

I know many have had water problems Terri with all the rain we’ve experienced this Simon spring, and aside from what has been ruined in the flooding, I know a lot of dollars have been spent to rectify the situations. On the flip side of that coin, though, I think we have to look at the devastation in Oklahoma and Missouri with the recent tornadoes that blew through those areas.

In the scope of things, water in the basement doesn’t seem so bad, does it? I’m not saying that our water issues aren’t difficult, but those seem to pale compared to the loss of lives, injuries and complete sections of towns that have been destroyed. Please keep those folks in your thoughts and prayers.

••• On a much sunnier note, congratulations are in order for our St. Bede Academy Lady Bruins softball team who placed fourth in the IHSA Class 2A state softball tournament during the weekend. A great group of young ladies worked so very hard this past season, and on behalf of the BCR, I’d like to congratulate their efforts. And any time you have a great team, you also have an equally wonderful group of parents, coaches and other adults who help with that success.

Our hats are off to each and every one of you!

Also, we are very proud of the Putnam County Panthers baseball team, who placed second in the IHSA Class 1A state baseball tournament. It was a great effort by the Panthers, and we extend our congratulations to the entire team and those who support them.

Way to go, guys!

While these two teams brought home the hardware, it shouldn’t take away from all the area teams in every sport who work hard throughout their respective seasons as well as those who excel academically in a variety of venues. May the memories you made in all of your endeavors remain close to your heart.

••• Congratulations are also in order for the LaMoille High School graduates who received their diplomas Friday night. An end of an era for these fine young men and women and the beginning of another chapter in their lives. On behalf of the BCR, we are proud of your accomplishments, and we look forward to letting readers know about your upcoming achievements!

••• Lots of activities coming up in June. You’ll find many of them listed in the BCR — your hometown newspaper. Make sure you mark your calendars and plan to attend these local events. Many area folks invest an enormous amount of time, money and energy to pull off these activities. Please support these fun-filled events.

••• Now that the school year has come to a close, I hope you’ll urge your students to take a moment or two and jot a note to his/her teacher(s) to thank them for their dedication and hard work during the school year. We all have that favorite teacher who made a difference in our lives. I think it’s important we acknowledge their efforts.

••• What does the summer hold for you? A vacation, work around the house, time with family and friends?

Regardless of what is on your agenda, I hope you’ll take some time for yourself to unwind, enjoy life and smell the proverbial roses. That bouquet doesn’t last forever ... And remember: You are important to me and the BCR.

On the street

If money and time were not a consideration, what would be your ideal summer vacation?

“My dream vacation would be to buy a big Harley Motorcycle and tour Europe with no itinerary.”

Joshua Baker, Princeton

“I would go to a warm and tropical island without my kids just to get away and enjoy myself.”

Trisha Hamrick, Princeton

“I would sit on any lake and fish. That’s what I enjoy doing.”

Marvin Peters, Princeton

“I’d stay right here in Princeton. It’s a nice town with nice people.”

Brian Husted, Princeton

“I would spend a week in Hawaii. I’ve never been there, and I’ve always wanted to visit Hawaii.”

Jodi Piacenti, Tiskilwa

First and then some ...

“How can there be a best in a world of individuals?” Hugh Prather from “Notes to Myself’ I walked away from the television the second that Ted Ginn Jr. got tackled and the Ravens began to storm the field. I couldn’t stand watching the celebration because my team was not the one taking part in it. The family and friends in my house quickly evacuated the scene, sensing the despair I was trying desperately to shield from the open air through statements masked with words of thanks and appreciation for their presence.

My favorite team had played in the Super Bowl, and yet at that moment, I felt as if they hadn’t won a game since I started cheering for them as a child.

A few days ago I finished watching the San Francisco 49ers most recent season — from the first snap at Lambeau Field through the final tackle in the Louisiana Superdome — for the second time in the last calendar year. I have been a huge fan of the red and gold for the past two decades of my life, and after months of mourning, I finally pushed play on the fresh footage in the DVR to reminisce about and enjoy this great season the team just accomplished.

At a young age, we learn to compete with our surroundings. We try to get in another few moments of fun before the sun dives completely behind the far edge of the Earth.

We push and pound the buttons on the controller through one more level before Mom shuts the game system down for the night. We reach for one more cookie before our hand is slapped away from the jar. We whisper one more giggle to

Impressed with Princeton PD To the Editor, We would like to take this opportunity to publicly acknowledge our gratitude and appreciation for the Princeton Police Depart-

Eric Engel COMMENTARY a friend before our eyes are cloaked with the lids of evening, our ears with the sound of dreams.

As growth surpasses the infancy of age and stretches our physical borders outward and up, we begin to understand more about competition through the incorporation of social interaction. We develop an intimate understanding of the words “winner” and “loser.” We shimmer like mad, weightless animals in the spoils of victory. We crumble like sandcastles in the oceans of defeat.

For all the inspirational parents and coaches out there vastly informative of character construction during those moments of competitive setbacks, there are creeping and cowardly sources of scorn that ensure us losing implies we are worthless and obsolete, securing one of infinite negative results rather than the single positive one.

I’ve felt great after winning many contests I’ve come across, and yet I’m sure the amount of times I’ve encountered a loss easily outnumbers the entirety of victorious recollections in the memory bank.

I have always been a sore loser, and although I’ve gotten better with it lately in life, I was still yelling vulgarities at the TV screen a few days ago while watching a game of which the results had been cemented weeks prior. I wanted to despise each Baltimore player that danced excessively after barely lifting a fin-

ger toward the overall body of work.

I wanted to scream at the referees to get their glasses checked on a handful of missed calls. I wanted to laugh and hug and seemingly float with joy above the ground for a few minutes as the clock struck midnight. I wanted Crabtree to catch that ball on fourth down.

But he didn’t, and I won’t because I can’t. My favorite team lost the most important game of the season, by social standards, and yet they are not losers. They won in every way I could have hoped for this season. They grew as players, and as men, and thanks to the entire experience, I did as well. I got to celebrate great individual efforts that concluded in collective force week after week, and had the honor of cheering on my team until there were literally zero seconds left on the clock. If you want to claim the wins, you have to own the losses.

I caught the ball once in high school when we were down by a few and racing the clock, and I turned up field to see the greenest grass I ever had — nothing but the end zone in sight. I ran like I was coming home from war into the arms of a lover, but someone caught me; and as I hurried to the sideline for coach to give me the next play, I remember the crowd screaming with adulation as if the enemy had already fallen. We didn’t end up winning that game, but I sure don’t remember losing.

Thanks for an unforgettable season “Niners!” We’ll catch that pass next year.

TO Letter THE Editor ment. Recently, we experienced an armed robbery at our store, Anne’s Antiques. The Princeton police responded very quickly to our call.

We were not only impressed with their professionalism, but also with their efficiency in apprehending

the suspects quickly. We hope that the residents of Princeton realize how very fortunate they are to have such a fine police department. We certainly do.

On May 3, the eighth-grade class at Bradford Jr. High School participated in the fourth annual “Wax Museum.” This event was the culminating activity for a research project assigned to each student in their language arts class. After an extensive writing process, the students “become” the person they chose to research at the “Wax Museum”. They created a brief biography card that they were required to memorize and display. Visitors to the Museum experience an interactive “exhibit” when they pushed the button and the “wax figures” came to life.

Ken Milby (above) and Lois Arnold (left) are pictured receiving their baskets. Traditionally, baskets are suppose to be delivered without the recipient catching whoever is delivering the basket but Bitting’s class just hand delivered the baskets instead. The baskets contained a few sweets and a package of flower seeds.

Panthers fall in 1A title game

St. Bede shortstop Abbey Nowakowski takes a throw from catcher Lydia Stariha as Nashville’s Hannah Yung slides safely into second base in Sunday’s IHSA 2A State third-place contest in East Peoria. Nashville won the game, which was rained out on Saturday, 1-0.

Lady Bruins shut out for third-place bid

By Derek Johnson sports@bcrnews.com

EAST PEORIA - St. Bede starting pitcher Lainie Schweickert battled well against Nashville’s Maci Ingram but one run turned out to be enough to decide Sunday’s third place game of the IHSA 2A State Softball Tournament.

St. Bede lost 1-0 with Schweickert giving up only one run on five hits and one error in the game.

Nashville placed third in the 2A state competition with the win.

“Lainie Schweickert pitched a great game,” St. Bede coach Bill Prokup said. “(We had) one little miscue throwing the ball around.

We knew they were good base runners and we haven’t seen that in

Third place - Nashville 1, St. Bede 0 Title — Kankakee Bishop Mac 8, Tremont 2 a while. I think we just were not thinking all the way and we never really talked it through. We knew it would be a close game. Lainie wound up being hurt and I think she showed what kind of kid she really is.”

St. Bede (24-6) was the visiting

team and their lead-off hitting set the tone for the day. Barbi Prokup made it to first on a wild pitch but was left on base by strikeouts from Emmi Christensen and Schweickert. The Bruins only managed two hits during the rain-delayed game off the bats of Mo Dean and Christensen.

“I don’t know how we couldn’t hit the ball. It looked like it was coming down the middle,” Prokup said. “Maci Ingram has a rise ball that cost us a little bit in the end.

We just couldn’t make contact. You can’t win if you can’t score. We had a chance at the end.

“I was proud of the kids. Lainie came back that last inning and Emmi Christensen finally got a hit.

PEORIA – The Putnam County Panthers secured their place in Putnam County High School history by earning a berth to the state tournament and advancing to the final game June 1.

The team placed second in the Class 1A state baseball competition at Dozer Park, losing to the Waterloo Gibault Catholic Hawks by a score of 6-2.

The Panthers’ Cody Ballerini started the final game and took the loss.

He pitched five innings, giving up six hits and six runs, only two of them earned. He also struck out two batters.

“It was going for a little bit,” Ballerini said.

“My curveball was working early. Then as the game went on, I guess my pitches kind of flattened out, and they (Gibault) started hitting it. That’s pretty much it right there. We made school history. It’s upsetting that we didn’t win first, but accomplishing this is unbelievable.”

Panthers coach Dave Garcia was very pleased with his veteran pitcher.

“I saw a kid who did the best he could to keep his team in the game,” Garcia said. “He did it.

They (Gibault) are a great hitting team, and he was doing what he had been doing the last month, just making them put the ball in play for the outs. It doesn’t take away from anything that Cody has done in his career.”

With no outs, Auggie Ward was intentionally walked to load the bases.

Ryley Wallin got hit by a pitch and earned an RBI. Ward and Schreder both advanced a base on the play. Mitch Meyer hit a single, earning an RBI. The Panthers brought in Tyler Williams to pitch; Ballerini headed to second base, and Harold Fay went to right field.

With the game quickly leaving the Panthers’ control, Williams said he wasn’t too nervous in the bases-loaded situation.

“I knew what I was doing, so I wanted to get the outs without them scoring and bases loaded, so I got to it,” Williams said.

Williams quickly got two outs but gave up one hit that allowed two more unearned RBIs. Jack Egan was brought in to pitch and got the

Lady Bruins turn idle time into ‘Idol’ time

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

St. Bede’s Morgan Knobloch hauls in a fly ball to left field in Saturday’s third-place game of the 2A Softball Tournament.

EAST PEORIA — It was only fitting the softball season ended with a little craziness on the side of Mother Nature.

St. Bede’s start time for Friday’s semifinal contest with Tremont was bounced around by social media like a beach ball. It was scheduled for 3 p.m., moved up to 1 p.m., then kicked back to 2:30 and finally decided upon for 1:30 p.m. In the end, the first pitch came about 1:55 p.m.

Of course, Mother Nature had a few more curveballs up her sleeve. The final four teams gathered again Saturday at the Eastside Centre in East Peoria only to sit around to wait out the rain until the games were postponed until Sunday.

St. Bede Academy athletic director Tom McGunnigal wore out his keyboard making BCR Text alerts on all the changes.

Neither SBA coach Bill Prokup or senior Mo Dean said

Notes

From Page 11 Friday’s start time switches really bothered the team outside of having to keep Tweeting and posting updates.

“We were just making jokes, ‘Ah we’ll call you again in 20 minutes to see if they change it again,’” Dean said.

“The only complaint I had about it was we were here on time, and they weren’t, and they moved back the time 20 minutes,” Prokup said. “I don’t think the kids were affected. That was more my temperament. The kids just wanted to play.”

The Lady Bruins didn’t take their idle time quietly, turning it into “Idol” time, as in American Idol.

“We were really into ‘Pitch Perfect,’ ‘High School Musical’ and the Jonas Brothers. That’s our three things,” Dean said.

Spirits dampened: The rain delays were not as kind to Toledo Cumberland in the 1A title game.

Cumberland had a runner on first base with no outs, trailing Milledgeville 5-4 when another downpour rained over Eastside Park. After a five-hour delay, the field was deemed unplayable, the game was called and Milledgeville was awarded the state crown.

“This is very hard to take,” Cumberland coach Marnie Blade said. “I wish I could tell you that Milledgeville beat us. But I can’t tell you that.”

Community support: The Lady Bruins didn’t go at it alone in East Peoria, backed by a strong showing of St. Bede faithful in East Peoria as well as from friends and family around the country.

“We had people texting us from Florida, people from California, people from Tennessee. Everyone was like, ‘Oh, good luck today,’” Dean said.

“Definitely a lot of support. It’s just unbelievable. These past couple games have been the biggest crowds we’ve had.”

“I get texts every day,”

Bureau County Republican • bcrnews.com

Prokup said. “The St. Bede community has been wonderful. They moved the big Bedan golf outing for us. They see faces old and young. Unfortunately, what they’re missing out is it’s not in school.

They’re missing out on seeing their classmates walking through the halls.

“We’re seeing parents and a lot of St. Bede alum here. I appreciate their support.”

That support continued Sunday afternoon with a reception back at the Academy to honor the softball team with a gathering of parents and family. McGunnigal congratulated and thanked the team. Coach Prokup spoke as well as his daughter, senior Barbi Prokup on behalf of the team.

Last chance: The Lady Bruins rallied Friday with two runs to close within 6-3 in the top of the seventh inning with two on and Dean at the plate representing the tying run.

Tremont coach Skip Penning elected to pitch to the St. Bede slugger even though she had already missed one homer off the right-field fence and had another deep drive to left.

This time she hit a hard smash to short, which ended the game and St. Bede’s hopes for a state championship with a force at third.

“I’m thinking this is ideal for us. Mo was crushing the ball,” Prokup said. “I told her to just go crush one. She just got on top of it and hit it hard to the shortstop.”

Seniors with class: Prokup said the state finals capped a great career for the senior Class of 2013 at the academy.

“This senior class of boys and girls at St. Bede has been wonderful,” he said. “They’re very athletic, had a lot of career victories, they’re going to walk out of here with their heads high. First ladies team ever to get down here. No one can every take that away from them.”

From Page 11 I put my freshman (Olivia Mueller) in at third which was pretty cool.

But, we just couldn’t find a hole. That’s okay.”

Prokup also mentioned that his team had some great at-bats including Tara Kunkel fouling off seven balls to try and get the ball in play in the final inning.

In the top of the seventh, Schweickert led off with a strike out and then Christensen singled down the middle. Dean followed with a base hit. Both runners were stranded when Ingram struck out Kunkel and Abbey Nowakowski. Both fought the ball off well in the effort but could not get the ball in play.

PC’s Cody Ballerini fires a pitch home in Saturday’s IHSA 1A State championship game at Dozer Park in Peoria. The Panthers fell to Waterloo Gibault 6-2.

Panthers

From Page 11 final out in the inning with a score of 6-2.

The Panthers’ two runs in the game came in the top of the second and sixth innings. Egan led off the second inning and tripled down the right field line.

Austin Pletsch brought him in on a sacrifice fly to center field. In the sixth inning, Ballerini singled to right center with Austin Biagini pinch running for him. Xavier Warren then hit a triple to center field bringing in Biagini for the second Panther run.

Garcia hoped his team would be able to put this game in perspective.

“These kids made history at Putnam County. Nobody is going to forget that,” Garcia said. “They need to remember that sooner than later. I know it hurts right now, but at the same time, they are going to be able to come back and see that trophy and all the plaques every single year. It will sink in.”

Notes: Mark Schreder, formerly of Dover, was the starting right fielder for Walter Gibault. A senior, Schreder was batting .360 with a homer, six doubles and a team-high 27 RBIs in 33 games heading into the State Tournament.

The world just wouldn’t be the same without with hout worm worms.

What can we learn from a worm?

Worms are master W recyclers!

While we are quiet and shy, we are good to have around. We don’t have eyes, ears or legs, yet we provide an important service.

This waste is called worm castings.

Castings are dark and fertile and enrich the soil.

Each day an earthworm produces its weight in castings.

How long was the longest earthworm ever found?

If you put an earthworm on a clean, dry sheet of paper and listen very carefully, you will hear a little scratching noise.

This noise is made by the eight small bristles an earthworm has on nearly every segment of its body. These bristles help earthworms move.

Standards Link: Science/Investigation: Follow instructions for an investigation.

As earthworms burrow or dig into the ground, they swallow soil.

They eat rotting plants and leaves. As this debris passes through the worm’s body, it is ground up by tiny stones in the worm’s gizzard and leaves the body as waste.

ers e numbh h t p u d Ad ver eac to disco wer. ans

Do you think you can hear an earthworm move?

Garbage is for worms! You might think it is gross, but certain kinds of worms think garbage is yummy. Instead of tossing leftover salad, melon peels and apple cores into the trash or disposal, build a worm bin and start raising worms to eat your garbage.

How many different kinds of earthworms are there?

How strong are earthworms? They can push things up to times their own weight. That would be like you being able to push four refrigerators at one time!

Study it for one minute.

2. Cover the picture and write down everything you remember about it.

Look through the newspaper for names and addresses of agencies involved in recycling.

Make a poster encouraging students to recycle and list where different items can be recycled. Post this in your school.
