County to buy Backbone property

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Board has entered into a purchase agreement to buy property on Backbone Road for highway safety reasons.

At Tuesday’s meeting in the Bureau County Courthouse in Princeton, the Bureau County Board voted unanimously to

buy the property located at 17852 Backbone Road, about three miles west of Princeton, at a cost of $120,000.

The property, which includes a house and eight acres, is needed to make safety improvements on the hill, Bureau County Highway Engineer John Gross said Wednesday.

The house will need to be torn down. The work will

begin as soon as possible in the spring.

In other transportation business at Tuesday’s meeting, Transportation Committee Chairman Steve Sondgeroth presented a resolution to approve federal funding for the preliminary engineering work with Willett, Hofmann and Associates for a bridge replacement project on the Wyanet/

Walnut Blacktop, where the road crosses over Maple Creek about two miles north of Wyanet.

The actual construction work won’t begin for a few more years, Gross said.

Sondgeroth also presented a resolution for a six-year commitment with the Illinois Department of Transportation to split equally the sal-

ary of the Bureau County Highway Engineer. The resolution, approved by the board, will be presented to the board every six years for approval.

Sondgeroth also presented a resolution to adjust the wage of nonunion county highway employees with the same wage increase as union members, which is a 2.75 percent increase, retro-

active to Dec. 1, 2013.

In other action items at Tuesday’s board meeting, Insurance Committee Chairman Mike Kohr said CIRMA, which carries the county’s liability and property insurance, has accepted its 18th county, Livingston, into the program. CIRMA has increased its investment

Seeing red Red Cross sets annual fundraiser

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Bureau County Red Cross Director Lori Compton is hoping area residents will think red this weekend and come out to support their local Red Cross chapter.

Compton said this year’s annual Red Nite Out auction and dance will be held Saturday at Ye Olde Underground Inn, located at 219 S. Sixth St. in Princeton. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m., with the live auction beginning at 7:30 p.m.

This year’s annual fundraiser will feature an estimated 20 nice auction packages, Compton said. Among those auction items are a theater package with dinner; an overnight stay in St. Louis with Cardinal baseball game tickets; a two-night stay in Wisconsin; jewelry; a private wine tasting; and golf packages. There will also be a silent auction, appetizers, a dessert table, and a cash bar.

All proceeds from Saturday’s fundraiser will go to benefit the Bureau County Red Cross. The Red Cross receives no federal or state funding but is supported entirely through local businesses, organizations and individuals. Saturday’s annual winter fundraiser is an important outreach for the local Red Cross to build funds to help support its work throughout the county, she said.

With the bitter cold temperatures, pet owners are advised to pay close attention to how much time they are letting pets spend outside. Bureau County Animal Control Officer Scott Robbins said pets should not be out any longer than 15 minutes when temperatures are lingering around zero degrees. It’s also necessary to check pets’ paws and ears, as they are easily apt to get frostbitten if exposed to dangerous weather for a period of time.

Winter weather woes Protect your pets from the cold, snow

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

Editor’s note: This is the second segment in a series on problems caused by winter weather and some solutions in preventing those problems.

PRINCETON — The subzero temperatures Bureau County recently experienced made life just a little less bearable with the dangers it created for people, pets, homes and vehicles. The temperatures are

finally back above zero, however, the winter months are far from finished. This series is meant to bring attention to safety measures on various items affected on those bitterly cold days.

Protecting your pet When the temperatures linger around zero or below, Bureau County Animal Control Officer Scott Robbins recommends a time limit of no more than 15 minutes for pets to be outdoors. Any longer on a bitterly cold

day could be dangerous for the animal. This means pet owners should stand at the door and be on guard of how long they are leaving their pet outdoors.

If someone sees what looks like a stray dog running out in the cold, contact the Bureau County Animal Shelter immediately. Robbins said the faster the call comes in, the faster animal control can get out and help recover the animal. If the number to a local animal shelter is unknown, call a local veterinarian’s office or the local sheriff’s department who will contact animal control.

• The village will be receiving $11,167 from FEMA for flooding that occurred in the spring of 2013.

The next regular meeting of the Wyanet Village Board will be at 6 p.m. Feb. 11 in the village hall.

The village also approved an ordinance that will allow them to begin accepting bids on four of their older vehicles which have recently been replaced — a 1993 F250 with

blade, a 1995 dump truck, a 2004 Chevy Impala squad car and a 1984 Blazer. More information can be found on the village’s website or by contacting village clerk Shel-

ley Teske.

Village President Bruce Hand also said he received many calls during the recent snow storm regarding removal of snow by homeowners. The com-

plaints are that people are pushing snow onto their neighbor’s properties. The village is looking into an ordinance forbidding the pushing of snow onto another person’s property.

Also, village engineer Jack Kusek is setting up a meeting with several water meter distributors to view the possibilities to replace current meters. New regulations will require all meters to be replaced.

GRANVILLE — Service above self is one of the central tenets with Rotary International, and some members take that to heart.

Putnam County Rotarian Scott Shore is one of those people, and in recognition of that, he has been nominated to serve as District Governor for Illinois Rotary for the 2016-17 term.

Shore has been a member of Rotary for more

than 35 years and carries a lot of credentials in district Rotary.

Shore served as president of the Granville Rotary in 1984-85 and has edited the local newsletter since 1986.

He has served two terms as Governor’s Representative and one term as Assistant Governor. He is also the chair of the short-term youth exchange program, a position he has held since 2008.

“I’ll be serving during the 2016-17 term. Until

Scott Shore then, I watch and learn and assist at the district level and work on build-

ing our future leadership,” Shore said. “I have a lot of mentoring behind me from people who have served as district governor. They’ve all enjoyed the experience. I get the opportunity to go around to all the clubs and see what’s going on first-hand and participate internationally.”

Shore is retiring as 10th Judicial Circuit Judge on Nov. 30 this year. He has served on the bench since 1990 and will return to private practice. It is his

retirement that helped him make the decision to accept the nomination for the office.

“I would not have been able to do that while also serving as circuit judge, because of the time constraints, particularly during daytime hours,” Shore said. “When I made the decision to not run for another term as circuit judge, that indicated to myself that the time was right to finally do this. It’s been a dream to eventually participate at that level.”

Buda to buy defibrillators

By Andrew Fisher news@bcrnews.com

BUDA — Citing age and capability reasons, the Buda Village Board approved the purchase of two new automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for the village’s emergency rescue unit.

AEDs are used to help victims survive heart attacks. After Emergency Rescue Unit Director Julie Strader presented pricing options for new and refurbished units, the board chose to buy the new units. Village Mayor Jeff Bitting said he will ask the fire district whether they have funds to help pay for the new AEDs. Bitting said the village’s current AEDs are incompatible with those of other rescue units in the county. The village’s AEDs are 7 years old. The mayor cited the village’s model has been discontinued, and defibrillator pads now available, which have to be replaced after every use, don’t work as well as the original pads.

The two AEDs, manufactured by Zoll, will cost $5,970. They have a five-year warranty. The mayor said one of the rescue unit’s existing AEDs can be placed in the village community center.

In other village business: • Treasurer Virginia Bollinger said the village received a check for $40,000 from Hertz Farm Management. The payment is for profits incurred from the village’s farm property.

• Bollinger said the village audit due last December was completed and posted for publication. The village will receive its share of county tax receipts upon certification of the audit.

• The village also received notification from the federal government it is in compliance with a USDA compliance review of Title VI civil rights regulations.

• The county supervisor of assessments mailed the village a list of city exempt properties wanting to know which properties are still exempt.

Bollinger said she would compile the report and submit it to the supervisor of assessments.

• Bills were approved.

Village Police Chief Brent DeVenney reported the police department used $288 in fuel and issued only four warnings since the last report. DeVenney said he had spoken with the owner of a noisy semitruck. The diesel rig has been the subject of noise complaints. DeVenney said the owner is OK with parking the rig in a different location and is open to suggestions. One possibility is to park the truck behind the Van-Packer Co. plant.

Village Superintendent Duane Roberts said he needs to order wear edges blades for the plow truck.

The cutters are in the $500 price range. The new truck

also needs a new sensor fuel tank to help activate the fuel tank heaters. The heaters enable the truck to operate in excessively cold temperatures. Roberts said he appreciates the new truck seats which are easier on the back than the

old truck. Roberts said he hasn’t had time to get an errant “silent” check valve looked into at the water pumping plant. The price for a replacement valve would be between $600 and $700.

Jack Kusek of McClure Engineering told the board he received notification that a bridge under village jurisdiction is due for inspection by June 9.

Kusek said he would have the inspection completed before the due date. The village would suffer fines if the inspection were not completed by the due date.

Kusek said the water plant and well projects are moving forward, and activity on them will pick up in the coming months.

On another infrastructure note, the mayor added the village has the funds and is on track to repair roads as needed.

PRINCETON — Freedom House will be a little more cozy thanks to a recent $4,000 grant awarded by the Community Foundation of Central Illinois.

The monies will go toward the purchase of new bedding and linens for all 20 beds at the shelter.

Program Services Director Sharon Mindock said having a warm, inviting bed that offers comfort and a sense of peace helps women who come to the shelter heal from trauma.

“It’s important to make the shelter as home-like as possible for the women and children because they are leaving very traumatic situations, and when they come into the shelter and things look nice, it’s just one more thing that helps them to de-stress from the trauma,” she said.

According to a press release issued by Freedom House, the trauma experienced by the women who come to the shelter is often violent and intense. They are often hyper vigilant because of the turmoil they have experienced.

“Many have difficulty sleeping and adjusting to shelter life,” Mindock said. “Having a comfort-

able bed and surroundings helps these women begin to relax.”

Mindock said the grant is very helpful because purchasing new linens is something that Freedom House wouldn’t normally be able to fit into their budget. The grant will cover new mattress pads, sheets, pillows and comforters for all beds.

According to Freedom Houses’ press release, it’s estimated every nine seconds a woman is battered, and that violence will occur at least once in two-thirds of all marriages. Twenty-five percent of the women in the United States, 12 million, will be abused by their current or former partners at some point during their lifetime. Three to four million are physically abused each year.

Last year, Freedom House provided 43 women and 40 children safe shelter. Freedom House is the only state-recognized funded domestic violence and sexual assault service agency that serves Bureau, Henry, Stark, Marshall and Putnam counties.

In 2013, Freedom House provided 7,465.25 hours of therapy, counseling and advocacy services to 574 residential and non-residential clients.

This year’s winter fundraiser is set for Saturday at Ye Olde Underground Inn in Princeton. Tickets are available in advance for $15, or at the door for $20.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the live auction begins at 7:30 p.m.

As recommended by the insurance committee, the county board hired CIRMA for its cyber insurance coverage at an annual cost of $2,900.

“Red Nite Out will be a great way for people to have a good time and support a good cause, Compton said.

Looking at the importance of the American Red Cross, Compton said people may think they will never face a crisis situation and need the Red Cross, but statistics show that one out of every four people will need the ser-

vices of the Red Cross at some time during their life. Even then, people may not directly need the Red Cross, but it may be a family member, neighbor or co-worker in need, she said.

As a prime and recent example, the Red Cross is still working with the people in Washington, after a tornado struck that community last November,

In her report, Fees and Salaries Committee Chairman Marshann Entwhistle said the committee will meet in special session at 5:30 p.m.

Jan. 23 to discuss the job description and salary for the ESDA coordinator position, including whether the position will be full-time or part-time.

The recommendation should come before the full board at next month’s

meeting, she said.

The board set mileage reimbursement at 56 cents per mile, which follows the rate set by the Internal Revenue Service.

The board appointed Troy Quest to the Bureau County Zoning Board of Appeals to fill a remaining vacant five-year term which expires Dec. 1, 2018.

From Page 1 Robbins also suggests: • If a pet is considered an “outdoor pet,” owners should make sure the animal has adequate shelter for protection from the winter elements. Old blankets or straw can be used inside their shelter to help keep it warmer. Robbins said insulation can be put on the outside of the shelter, as well, to give it that extra protection and warmth.

• Robbins said even though it’s cold out and there’s snow on the ground, pets still need water to drink.

Make sure the pet’s water is not frozen, and also consider feeding an outdoor pet up to three times a day with protein enhanced food, which can help keep its energy up to stay warm.

• Pets’ paws can get frostbitten and can also get caught on sharp ice and could potentially tear. Robbins recommended pet owners keep a close eye on their pets’ paws after they’ve been out in snow and ice, especially if the pet comes in from the outside limping or not walking normally. There are

also animal booties that can be purchased to help protect pets’ paws.

• Besides paws, ears are another part to carefully watch on the pets. Robbins said pay attention to signs of frostbite after the pet has been outdoors for a period of time.

Princeton Animal Care Clinic Veterinarian Dr. Stuart VandeVenter said one of the first signs of frostbite is when the animal’s ears are tender to the touch and painful, which is usually accompanied by redness or swelling in the area. Look for discoloration, such as blue or gray areas, around the ear. If the ears have frostbite, they will feel brittle, hard and leather-like.

VandeVenter said if the ears are frostbitten, the damage could be reversed depending on how much of the ear has died. Sometimes tips of the ears can be healed and recovered if caught soon enough. Otherwise, if the frostbite is not caught soon enough it could cause permanent damage, and even result in the loss of the animal’s ears.

Get off the phone!

Last week I passed a woman — in front of the Princeton Police Station, as matter of fact, who was talking on her cell phone while driving.

As I continued to my destination, I passed three additional vehicles where the driver was talking on their cell phone right on Princeton’s main drag.

For those who maybe missed out, who didn’t realize or can’t remember, it’s now illegal to talk on your cell phone (holding the phone to the ear) while operating your vehicle.

As a reporter, who is always on the go and in need of constant communication at my COMMENTARY fingertips, I admit it’s been hard for me to choke down.

I felt a little irritated when they took away texting and driving (even though I’ll confess I had a few close calls with the street curb on that one).

But whether I like it or not, similar to having to wear my annoying seatbelt, I can’t afford to not follow the new regulation.

The law is there to keep us safe, and if this law is going to potentially save my life or someone else’s life, then so be it. No phone conversation is worth anyone’s life.

For those who are thinking otherwise, here’s just one more reminder on what you might face if you decide that phone conservation is a little more important.

Violators can be fined $75 for their first offense. I don’t know about you, but I’d love to spend that extra $75 on something I want, rather than handing it over to my local police station. But if that’s just chump change for some folks, the second violation could be as much as $150 and a mark on their driving record.

For those willing to take it a little further, a third violation in the same year as the previous two could cost you a suspended driver’s license. No thanks! I know I take my driving freedom for granted way too much, but if that freedom was ever taken from me I’d lose, not only my job, but my sanity. Before anyone hits that point, I’d say it’s definitely worth looking into that “hands-free” talk technology.

However, if you’re still thinking the new cell phone law isn’t that impactful, our governor also signed his name next to legislation that increases penalties for drivers who injure or kill others in crashes caused by cell phone use.

Distracted motorists who injure someone face a Class A misdemeanor, which is punishable with fines up to $2,500 and jail time. If a driver kills someone in an accident related to cell phone use, not only do they have to carry guilt for the rest of their lives, but also felony charges.

Yeah, better get to the closest cell phone store for that “hands-free” talk device. I’m being a friend right now, and telling you that phone conversation is not worth a felony charge and the amount of guilt you would feel if you took someone else’s life.

For those who are laughing and don’t believe cell phones aren’t a factor in car crashes, it’s my job to type up the area’s police reports for the newspaper.

Therefore, I’m forced to read them all, and I really wish I had a quarter for every crash report I’ve read in the last three years that stated, “The driver admitted to looking down for a quick second to send a text message/dial a phone number before the crash.”

More than once have I reported on big vehicle accidents in this county, that were related to talking or texting on the cell phone. It’s not pretty, and it’s not fun reporting.

Get off the phone. Tell that person you’ll call them back. Make a note to call them back. Realize when the phone rings, it’s not the end of the world when you have to wait until you put the vehicle in park to call that person back!

TO Letters THE Editor

Wind energy: A success story To the Editor, Wind energy is an American success story.

In the recent cold snap, lots of traditional power plants faltered, and wind energy helped keep the lights on. The government policies that have helped wind energy become more competitive with other, polluting energy sources should be celebrated, not criticized as they have been in a recent letter to the editor.

The problem isn’t the subsidy for wind energy; all energy sources are subsidized. The problem is the United States doesn’t have a longterm energy policy that encourages a portfolio of clean energy sources.

Wind power policy has supported tens of thousands of jobs in the United States, including several thousand in Illinois alone. In just over 10 years, Illinois has gone from zero wind farms to the No. 4 U.S. state for installed wind generation. These projects represent more than $7 billion in private sector capital investment, creating an economic driver that has provided more that $13 million in lease payments to Illinois farmers and more than $28 million in property taxes to Illinois communities.

Accessing America’s abundant, domestic wind energy resources also requires transmission lines, and the proposed Rock Island Clean Line is one project that can unlock more of this clean, pollution-free resource.

Rock Island will also lower electricity costs for Illinois consumers and businesses. The project is expected to inject several thousand megawatts of low-cost wind into Illinois. Recent market evidence shows that adding wind power to the electric grid significantly reduces power prices. This is because wind has no fuel cost, so wind farm owners can underbid their competitors in real-time electric markets. The Illinois Power Agency found that wind power has already lowered wholesale power costs by over $177 million in both 2011 and 2012. That means cheaper electricity for all of us.

The benefits of wind power for Illinois are many. Local, state and federal lawmakers and regulators should support the growth of this industry.

Merchants should be accountable To the Editor, The Target data breach

has affected millions of consumers by compromising their credit and debit cards, once again raising the issue of a retailer’s responsibility in securing sensitive information for card transactions at their stores. How many millions of cardholders have to be harmed by financial data breaches before Congress enacts legislation to hold merchants accountable?

A data breach might be embarrassing for the merchant involved, but keep in mind that they still get paid! Consumers and financial institutions, on the other hand, bear significant burdens and costs. For compromised consumers, information and identities can be stolen, fraudulent account charges can occur, credit scores can be damaged, and enormous amounts of time can be spent on dealing with the issue.

When a security breach occurs, card-issuing financial institutions incur significant costs — canceling and reissuing cards, freezing payments and closing accounts, monitoring card usage, handling customer inquiries and reimbursing fraudulent charges for customers — most of which are absorbed even if the losses were incurred through no fault of the bank.

It’s time that Congress acts to improve the

safety and security of consumer card transactions by holding retailers accountable for breaches that occur on the retail side of a transaction: • Require merchants to disclose in a timely manner any security breach to their customers and the public. In the cases of Target, Schnucks and others, they waited weeks to notify the media and affected customers.

• Financial institutions are required to meet rigid privacy and security standards for safeguarding personal financial information.

Merchants should be held to these same high standards.

• Merchants should be held accountable to customers and to card issuers for the costs and losses they incur from the merchant’s own negligence.

• A uniform, national standard governing how merchants respond and handle data breaches should be enacted to ensure that consumer protections are applied consistently to retailers across state lines.

We think consumers have the right to have their financial and personally identifiable information protected by all parties involved — don’t you?

Villareal drives Hall past Princeton

By Brent Jamison sports@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — It took six minutes for Hall to score a point in the fourth quarter on Tuesday night, but consecutive layups from Miguel Villareal was what the Red Devils needed to hold off Princeton 47-42 at Prouty Gym. After the Tigers cut their deficit to 38-37 with 3:17 remaining, Villareal ended Hall’s scoring drought with a drive and a right-handed layup at the two-minute mark of the final period. He followed that up by penetrating to the middle of the lane and scoring in traffic on the Red Devils’ next possession, just 32 seconds later.

“Miguel had a great second half,” Hall coach Mike Filippini said. “He had a couple of drives that pretty much sealed the game. I don’t know how he makes some of those layups but he made two right in a row. You could see when he did that, it killed Princeton’s momentum and our kids got energized.”

“That was a huge point in the game where (Vil-

lareal) got those two hoops on drives to the basket,” Princeton coach Jesse Brandt said. “Those were two bad defensive plays by us all the way around. He got there and made them. They had some chances earlier where they missed some of those layups. To their credit they made those at the end.”

Still, Hall (11-7, 3-2) left the door open for Princeton late in the game by missing the front end of one-and-ones on three consecutive possessions and PHS junior Brenton Schmidt rattled home a three with 21 seconds left in the game to get within 42-40.

However, A.J. Gaeta then hit five of six freethrows in the final 14 seconds to secure the Three Rivers South Division win for the Red Devils. He finished tied with Villareal for the team high in scoring with 16 points each.

“We didn’t play a very good game and we won,” Filippini said. “We’re not trying to say how great we are. That’s a great sign for BCR photo/Mike Vaughn our kids when we don’t play well and still win on Hall’s A.J. Gaetta gets past Princeton’s Zach Andersen for a shot at Prouty Gym Tuesday night.

Storm cruise past Prophets

Bureau Valley’s Josh Mead goes strong to the basket against Prophetstown Tuesday night at the Storm Cellar. BV won 63-36.

MANLIUS — The Bureau Valley Storm put four quarters together for the first time this season, cruising to a decisive 63-36 victory over the Prophetstown Prophets during Three Rivers Conference North Division action Tuesday night.

Prophetstown looked as if they would be a difficult matchup for the Storm as they lead 7-2 with 3:23 left to play in the first quarter.

The Storm went on a 12-4 run to finish out the quarter as junior guards

Tommy Johnston and Parker Neuhalfen scored all 12 BV points during the stretch.

Johnston ended the first quarter and the scoring run with a three-pointer from the top of the key with 7.2 seconds left giving BV its first lead of the game as they finished out the quarter ahead 12-11.

BV would steadily add to their lead and wouldn’t trail for the final three quarters of play.

“It’s a good win for us, and our kids played well.

It’s the first game of the year that we won all four quarters. So we’ve had a

little difficulty sustaining our momentum and positive energy and tonight we won all four quarters, and I’m proud of the kids for that,” Bureau Valley coach Jason Marquis said.

“To beat good teams like Prophetstown you need to win quarter after quarter, and I’m glad we did that tonight.”

Three straight steals by Neuhalfen resulted in four points on the opposite end highlighted by an aware fast break cut through the lane to the basket by Josh Mead as he made an easy layup giving the Storm a

L-P tops Tigresses

By Holli Rapp sports@bcrnews.com

LASALLE — The Princeton Tigresses succumbed to the Lasalle-Peru Lady Cavs Tuesday in a 44-21 non-conference road loss.

After Princeton broke out of the gate with a 5-2 lead, the Lady Cavs 1-3-1 press forced the Tigresses into numerous turnovers as they attempted to pass over the top of the active hands of L-P. The Lady Cavs’ Quincie Weber, Hailey Armstrong, Hannah Wolfe and Alexis Zimbelman had key baskets on the 13-3 run to end the first quarter.

Offensive rebounds and turnovers cost the Tigresses in the first half that limited the Princeton’s chances in the game.

“We had too many turnovers. The turnovers caught up to us,” said Princeton coach Kevin Hieronymus, also noting PHS gave up too many offensive rebounds in the first quarter.

Princeton cut the lead to 13 going into the locker room at halftime despite the 23-7 run for the Lady Cavs.

Coming out of the locker room, the Lady Cavs continued their aggressive defense and hit some key shots including an inside presence from Zimbelman and Wolfe along with the outside prowess of 3-point shooters Armstrong and Weber.

Princeton struggled in the third quarter as they were held to only three points off of a Zoe Mead basket and a Brianna Barajas free throw as the Lady Cavs increased their lead to 27 at the end of three.

As both teams went to their bench throughout the four quarter, Princeton(2-16) scored on baskets from Kelly Schmidt,

Travel, Travel, 3 seconds, 3 seconds There are some people in life who demand respect. Chips Giovanine was one of those people.

Even now at age 48, Scott Smith never called Chips Giovanine as Chips.

He was still “coach” 30 years after Smith played for him at LaSalle-Peru.

“Just like I wouldn’t call my dad, Gary. I would never call coach, Chips. He was always coach,” Smith said.

Kevin Hieronymus HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS

Since Giovanine’s passing this week, many folks have had the time to reflect on how the old coach shaped their lives in one or the other.

Smith talked about how he

could always pick out that booming voice from the “wee little guy” in any gym.

Bob Sprowls talked about bringing the coach to Buda Western when the consolidated school formed in 1961.

He also shared some insights about a golf cart incident while riding with Giovanine one time on a golf course that can now be shared. Bob had advised Chips maybe he shouldn’t try going down a

steep hill, which of course Chips did any way. The next thing they know, the cart rolls and tips on top of them.

“He was squealing like a rabbit telling me to get that cart off him,” Bob said with a laugh.

St. Bede coach Mike Kilmartin shared some congratulatory notes he got from Chips over the years, pieces of paper he treats as gold. I had forgotten about Chips’ trademark stationary heading: from the

bench of Travel, Travel, 3 seconds, 3 seconds … Giovanine.

Tuesday’s visitation for Chips was a regular college of coaches with the likes of Kilmartin, Bob Prusator, Chuck Rolinski, Lloyd Johnson, Roger Lowe, Ken Bourquin, Steve Sandholm and of course, his son, Grey, the basketball coach at Augustana College. They had all waged cage wars with Chips’

To come in and not play that well and still win by five points is great for us.”

Filippini credited his team’s rebounding on the defensive end as they limited Princeton’s second chance opportunities.

Although the Red Devils were out-rebounded 25-24 overall in the game, they held the Tigers to just three rebounds on the offensive glass.

“For a team that has one kid over 6-1, that’s why we are 11-7 because we box out and we rebound,” Filippini said. “Basketball is a simple game when you do things like that. I can’t say enough about how great we boxed out and how good our man-to-man defense was.”

Princeton’s biggest lead came at the start of the game where they jumped out to a 10-3 advantage, highlighted by threes from Garrett Duffin and J.J. Vaccaro. Hall would close the first quarter on an 11-2 run.

The second quarter saw six lead changes with Princeton’s last lead coming on Vaccarro’s second trey of the night with 3:51 remaining in the period. A hoop from Collin Aimone and a three at the buzzer from

Duffin had game-highs of

Four different Storm players contributed on the run as Johnston, Neuhalfen, Mead and senior forward David Miller each added buckets as the offense found multiple ways to score off of creative passing plays.

“I thought our passing was pretty efficient. We made pretty good decisions, and we didn’t try to force as much as we have in the past,” Marquis said. “I thought that was a key to us to continue to build on our lead and not give them points

Funny thing was when I asked him recently how he got his nickname, Chips. He said he honestly didn’t remember.

Lodge marks 75th anniversary in 2014

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

UTICA — Starved Rock Lodge, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, now has a social media team.

“The reason we created this group is to expand (Starved Rock) Lodge and (Starved Rock State) Park presence on six social media channels,” said Kathy Casstevens, the lodge’s marketing director.

“The best part about building the brand through the power of social media is that there is little or no cost to do this.”

Starved Rock Lodge currently maintains 10 Facebook pages with more than 24,000 people who like them, she added. In the coming year, the team hopes to gain more shares and engagement by putting photos with all posts and having one team player in charge of key departments.

“So far, we’ve added six boards on Pinterest and have 14 followers,” added Casstevens. “This digital bulletin board is a great place for us to showcase the great Starved Rock to people who have never

ance in 45 areas. Each area carries a rating from one to five, with five being the most critical. Inspectors check the entire operations of the facility in 14 different categories, such as food protection, personnel and garbage and refuse disposal.

Beginning with a score of 100 points, the health inspector deducts one to

five points for every violation. The final total is the facility’s inspection report score. A passing food inspection score is 65 or above. At 65, the Bureau/ Putnam County ordinance allows the health department to close an establishment, but a score doesn’t have to be that low for the department to close it. It depends on the number

of critical and non-critical violations and the type of violations. Certain combinations can create a domino effect for food borne outbreaks.

All inspection reports are a matter of public record and can be seen at the Bureau County Health Department in Princeton.

All inspections were conducted Dec. 1-31.

The Raptor Awareness program is presented by the World Bird Sanctuary and sponsored by the Illinois Audubon Society. The Illinois Birds of Prey program is presented by the Illinois Raptor Center and sponsored by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

A shuttle trolley is available to transport attendees from the Starved Rock State Park Lodge on the south side of the river to the Illinois Waterways Visitors Center on the north side of the river, with stops at the Starved Rock State Park Visitors Center. Attendees may also drive and parking at all sites is free.

More detail can be found at the Illinois Audubon Society website at www.illinoisaudubon.org or by calling 217.544.2473.

The mission of the Illinois Audubon Society is to promote the perpetuation and appreciation of native plants and animals and the habitats that support them. The Illinois Audubon Society is an independent, member supported, not-for-profit, statewide organization. Founded in 1897, the society is Illinois’ oldest private conservation organization with more than 2,300 members, 21 chapters and 15 affiliate groups. The Illinois Audubon Society has protected over 3,400 acres by investing more than $6.6 million to protect land and water throughout Illinois.

Record low temperatures and winter precipitation have made driving conditions dangerous for residents. The nonprofit Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH) offers the following seven winter car safety tips to keep families safe while driving in winter conditions: 1. Prepare a special emergency kit for your car and keep it there throughout the season.

Your winter weather car kit should include: • A distress flag • Blankets • Extra food and water • Flashlights and batteries 2. Check your tires for air and wear. Be sure to keep tow and tire chains in your trunk as well.

3. If visibility is impaired, pull off the highway. Turn on hazard lights and hang a distress

flag from the radio antenna or window.

4. Remain in your vehicle where rescuers are most likely to find you. Do not set out on foot unless you can see a building close by where you know you can take shelter. Be careful; distances are distorted by blowing snow. A building may seem close but be too far to walk to in deep snow.

5. If stranded, run the engine and heater about 10 minutes each hour to keep warm. When the engine is running, open a downwind window slightly for ventilation and periodically clear snow from the exhaust pipe. This will protect you from possible carbon monoxide poisoning. www.edwardjones.com 6. Be careful not to waste battery power. Balance electrical energy needs — the use of

Story and cookie time Becky Dye’s fourth-grade class and Terry Drawyer’s kindergarten class at Bureau Valley North recently got together for a few stories and cookies. The fourth-grade students each partnered up with a kindergarten student and read a Christmas story to them while they all enjoyed cookies. The two classes have been buddies since the beginning of the year. They get together every other week and do some sort of activity together. Projects they have done in the past have been making paper chains, paper bag turkeys, teaching the kindergarteners how to play board games, and a letter scavenger hunt around the school. The students all really enjoy the partnership.

Thursday, Jan. 16, all ages are welcome for game night. Several board and card games are available at the library to join in with friends and/or family. If patrons have a special game they would like to share, they may bring it along.

Wednesday, Jan. 22, a family reading night with games, reading, prizes and snacks will be hosted for the entire family to participate in from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
