One-on-one with Bureau County Sheriff Jim Reed Compiled by Goldie Currie

gcurrie@bcrnews.com.

PRINCETON — With just a little more than a month of being the Bureau County Sheriff, Jim Reed continues to adjust to his new position.

Yet, already he’s made changes under his command which he feels are allowing a smoother transition for his deputies.

As the sheriff’s office atmosphere changes, it is also undergoing upgrades and planning out a new future under Reed’s watch.

Reed recently sat down to talk about some of those current projects he’s working on; the long term goals he hopes to bring to the sheriff’s office; and the challenges he plans to meet.

BCR: What was the official date you took office?

Reed: Dec. 1, 2014.

BCR: How has the adjustment period been?

Reed: Interesting. It’s a totally different way of life for me now because I’ve always been a handson type of person. Before, when there was something to do, I would just

go do it. Now I can’t do that. I have to delegate other people to do that.

So, it’s a different atmosphere for me altogether.

I did say I would be a working sheriff. At some point I want to get myself back out on the road and be able to do some patrolling and handle some things, but right now we are still in the process of getting things running.

I still want to adjust some things and try and make some improvements.

BCR: What has surprised you the most about the role of Bureau County Sheriff?

Reed: How much you really have to be (at the office). Some sheriffs are political — that’s all they do, they handle the politics. But you really do have to be here. People want to talk to you. They want to be able to correspond with the department head. They want to see you, and it’s just surprising how many things I did not know that the sheriff did. It’s kind of overwhelming — it really is. I did not know the job entailed meeting with so many different agencies.

BCR: What are some challenges you’ve been

met with?

Reed: The challenges I’ve been met with are actually some things I want to improve. Updating equipment — unfortunately law enforcement technology is improving, and things are getting very expensive to fund.

That’s probably the biggest challenge — finding the resources and the funding to update things like vests for the deputies and the equipment in their squad cars. We have been aggressively searching for grants, however, that’s not our main priority right now.

BCR: What is working well at the sheriff’s office?

Reed: The first thing we had to do was reorganize the command staff and assess our current staff.

The restructuring of the command staff, I think, has really helped. And trying to get an assessment of our current staff and their abilities and their training. They all know who they report to, and they’re definitely using the chain of command.

I think that has been a major improvement.

Nicolette Winn ... and life after child abuse ...

Where does one start?

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

“To me, positive isn’t pretending that everything is always wonderful but rather acknowledging what’s happening and working through it,” said Nicolette Winn, founder of the No Longer Silenced Movement (NLSM).

Winn recently published her first book, “One” through Amazon.

This publication, she said, is one facet of her continued work to help survivors of child abuse.

The threeyear pursuit of writing “One” has been a great personal struggle for the young author.

“It was hard to go back to that time in my life because it hurts so much,” admitted Winn, adding some family members have not been so eager for her to publish her book.

However, she said, “One”

is the first of many books to come.

Winn aims for her book to aid her in gathering information on what survivors of child abuse need to succeed.

“Then, I want to build it for them,” said Winn.

The knowledge Winn collects will eventually be applied to her non-profit organization No Longer Silenced Movement.

“The goal of No Longer Silenced Movement is to unite teen and young adult survivors of child abuse with positive, concise resources to help them succeed in life after abuse,” said Winn.

Currently exploring the geographical and legal foundations for the movement, Winn admits the fine details of organizing the NLSM are challenging.

However, Winn continued, “I’m excited to build something that our country needs!”

Due to her love for the South, Winn currently hopes to move and con-

The 2009 graduate of Princeton High School does not plan on ever returning to Princeton, her hometown.

“I’ve wanted to move south since I was at least 13 years old, and I currently just made that transition,” said Winn.

Currently, Winn is working toward her M.S. in industrial organizational psychology at Angelo

State University. As a lead research assistant for two psychology research labs, she is greatly focused on completing her education and bettering her future.

The young Texan said, “I’ve been striving to become a better, healthier person. I constantly work to improve myself because I believe that by improving ourselves, we can improve our world.”

And improving the world is exactly what Winn

intends to do. Through her NLSM, Winn hopes to reach out and improve the lives of child abusive survivors in need of a helping hand.

“I’m hoping to help others know that they’re not alone and that people will believe them,” she said.

The NLSM is gathering attention among a variety of people ready to help Winn make a difference.

The 64-year-old Morrisonville native is a lifelong resident of Illinois and works as a member of many organizations.

Illinois Department of Public Health Nirav Dinesh Shah, 37, from Chicago is the newly-appointed director of the Illinois Department of Public Health. Shah holds both a law and medical degrees. Rauner believed this makes him “uniquely qualified” to fully understand and work with both the health and administrative aspects of his new position.

Currently an attorney in Chicago, Shah has a focus on the administrative and legal aspects of public health. He works with people all over the world administering health programs and improving access to quality health care.

Illinois Commerce Commission Rauner has nominated Brien Sheahan, 45, to be

people and organizations teaming up for her cause.

“People kind of forget about their differences for awhile and all work together to make the world better. I’m proud to be leading that,” Winn said.

After leaving what she defined as an abusive environment, Winn struggled trying to achieve her goals on her own.

“I read that there are millions of cases of child abuse reported every year, so I figured that others must have the same issue,” said Winn, “I thought that if I could find a way to help them, I could help a lot of people have better lives.”

The NLSM is a lifelong pursuit, and Winn is ready for the challenge. The passion she feels for empowering child abuse survivors is matched only by her drive to succeed.

“Nothing is going to stand in my way of making it happen,” said Winn, “I want people to know that no matter what they are struggling with ... they’re not alone.”

Better Business Bureau’s Top 10 scams of 2014 CHICAGO — In 2014, the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois received numerous calls and emails concerning various scams, new and old. The 10 scams having the greatest impact on consumers involved new ways to cheat people out of money and steal personal identity information, or sometimes both.

While they may use emails and other digital communications, they focus on deception and people being too busy to first check out the source of the communication.

“This year, scammers found new ways to steal from innocent consumers and businesses, whether it be through multiple data breaches, fake invoice schemes, or even by pretending to be government officials,” said Steve Bernas, president and CEO of the BBB. “Some scams were widespread, getting a lot of people for small amounts. Others were more narrowly focused, taking people for thousands or tens of thousands of dollars.”

In no particular order, the Top 10scams of 2014, according to the BBB serving Chicago and Northern Illinois, were: • Data breaches — Hackers are getting into computer systems that store financial and personal data then using it for fraud. Financial informa-

tion was taken from many large retailers and social security numbers from a large hospital chain in the Chicago and northern Illinois area. Affected companies are obligated by law to notify customers about breaches. Although you cannot avoid a data breach itself, you can prepare yourself for what may follow once your personal information has been stolen. Keep track of your finances. Check credit card statements.

Sign up for card usage notifications. Check your accounts online. Call your bank or credit card company if something seems suspicious on your statements.

• IRS imposters — Calls from scammers claiming to be IRS officials swept the country in 2014. Thousands of calls were made to individuals threatening jail, deportation and loss of property if payment was not made. The Chicago and northern Illinois area had losses of around one million dollars. Consumers were left voicemails saying they need to call the IRS immediately to avoid legal consequences.

Hang up if you receive one of these calls. Do not provide any personal information. Contact the FCC and the FTC. • Click-Bait schemes — Sensational or provocative content, especially on social media, attracts

attention and draws visitors to a particular web page. These stories were often used to trick consumers into clicking on links that go to fraudulent websites. When clicked on, malware is installed on your computer or smartphone. Don’t click on videos or photos that claim to be “exclusive,” “shocking” or “sensational.” Delete social media messages or emails that raise red flags in your mind. Take a moment to hover over a link to see its true destination.

• Fake utility bills — This summer, scammers targeted individual consumers and businesses with false claims that their utility bills were delinquent and their services were in danger of being disconnected. Many got calls from scammers who demanded they immediately pay their alleged delinquent accounts. If you receive one of these calls, do not provide any personal or financial information. Make sure to call your utility service provider directly and verify a call was made.

• Pre-paid cards — Prepaid debit cards such as GreenDot Money Cards, Walmart MoneyCard and Western Union MoneyWise became a risk for consumers. Scammers, posing as “support reps” for these companies, tell consumers they need a

refund for the money on the card, and they request a person’s credit and checking account numbers. This information gives scammers access to the pre-paid card and your financial accounts. Never give out financial information to someone you don’t know. To verify the request, call the card company at the phone number listed on the card, or the company’s general number.

• Tech support scams — This fall, there was a surge in reports of consumers receiving calls from individuals claiming Microsoft has been notified of errors or viruses on their computers that need removal. The scammer persuades the victim to download a program which allows remote access to their computer.

Once access is gained, the scammer shows typical computer errors, which are still enough to convince the owner there is a problem. They then offer to fix the problems for anywhere from $200 to $400. Never give control of your computer to a third party unless it is a support team with whom you are a customer and can confirm that they are legitimate. To verify the request, call the company at the business’ general number listed in official documentation.

• Advance fee loans — Advance fee loans — also known as short-term high-

rate loans, cash advance loans, check advance loans, payday loans or title loans — are very expensive forms of credit. Consumers are solicited by telemarketers, contacted by email, or see offers in classified sections of newspapers and magazines or on the Internet.

Many times consumers never receive their loan, in spite of paying up front fees. Check on a business beforehand. Read the fine print. Get everything in writing. These are important steps to avoid being taken advantage of with advance fee loans.

• Fake lottery and sweepstakes — Lottery and sweepstakes scams usually begin with a phone call or an email.

The consumers are told they won a large sum of money, but they must first pay fees and taxes. Victims wire this money, but never get their “winnings” or get back the money they sent.

Consumers need to keep in mind when something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If you never entered a contest, you can’t win. And you should never pay to claim a prize.

• Office supplies/school supply scams — A company falsely sent invoices to schools and school districts. Districts were billed for bulk purchase of textbooks that were never requested or received.

This technique is also used on businesses for amounts that are a few hundred dollars. Inquiries received no responses; calls to a phone number routes to a series of voice mail boxes or mail drops.

Always cross check invoices with purchase orders.

Check out new vendors or suppliers with the BBB. • Phishing scams — Scams using email were more common in 2014.

Cyber-criminals pose as legitimate businesses to get financial information via emails. Links in the email can put a virus on your computer that hunts for your personal and financial information to use for identity theft or other illegal activities.

Be cautious of clicking on links in unexpected emails. If you are expecting a confirmation receipt, log into your account and check for confirmation there. Be wary of emails that contain attached files.

Don’t respond to unsolicited emails. Don’t click on links in unsolicited emails.

“Before giving any company your personal or financial information, review the business on the BBB website,” said Bernas.

“And remember, if an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.”

Reed From Page 1 We are also going to go through a thorough inventory of all our equipment and focus on improving the things we need there.

BCR: What are some current projects you are working on at the sheriff’s office?

Reed: I’m very happy because, right now, we are working on something I wanted to get done for our deputies. In the very near future, cameras will be installed in every squad car. We are almost at that point where, very shortly, we will have that done. That I’m very happy for because it was one of the promises I made to the community. And it looks like there’s definitely grants available, and we do have the resources to where we are going to be able to update some equipment for our road deputies.

BCR: Have you created any new positions?

Reed: Not at this time.

We haven’t created any new positions.

BCR: What are some opportunities you see?

Reed: Our goal is to provide a better service of law enforcement to the community. Our law enforcement has always been reactive. We always react to a current situation that occurs in our community.

I’d promised that we would try to provide a more progressive and proactive approach to law enforcement, and I think we can do that. I think we can do it by more direct patrols, proactive arrests, problem solving with hot spots in our community and more self-initiated activity from our deputies.

I do think we will be able to reduce crime in our area with greater involvement and integration between

the citizens and the police, and by consolidating our efforts with other law enforcement agencies.

BCR: Comparing what it was like before you were sheriff to what it’s like being sheriff now – is it everything you thought it would be?

Reed: Well, we are only here in the first month.

Sheriff (John) Thompson — I have sat down and talked with him since he retired. Pretty much he said, “Give it a year because you’re not going to get everything right away. There’s things that are going to come up that you’ve never dealt with before.”

He said, “Take little steps right now, and after about a year, you’ll be able to make some major changes. But try not to change everything right away because you have so much to learn, and it’s going to

take you about a year to do that.”

BCR: What are some long-term goals you hope to achieve?

Reed: One of my major long-term goals is to get the current young deputies in our office to be able to take the reins and do what the senior guys are doing.

We have been so transparent in the past, and what I would like to do is get our young deputies involved more in the everyday operations of the sheriff’s office.

We would like to, eventually, get these guys to be sergeants, to be lieutenants and someday have the experience in their field to run for sheriff. We want to make sure these deputies are ready to serve this community when the other senior deputies and I retire.

Amy Thompson, coordinator of the annual PROMise Dress Sale, has teamed up with Jay Schneider, owner of the Apollo Theater in Princeton. From Jan. 23 to 29, those who donate a dress to the PROMise sale will receive a free bucket of popcorn.

PROMise From Page 1 purchase new or preworn dresses for $50 or less.

The monies raised from the sale will be donated back to the community to organizations that directly benefit area youth.

This year, Thompson has chosen The First United Methodist Youth Ministry and Bureau County Food Pantry.

“This year I chose the food pantry because hunger is still relevant in our communities, and youth make up a large portion of those who benefit from the food pantry,” she said.

Last year’s PROMise Dress Sale raised more than $2,000.

Thompson has, again,

teamed up with Lara and Jay Schneider of the Apollo Theater in Princeton.

From Jan. 23 to 29, those who donate a dress will receive a free bucket of popcorn. During this week, “Paddington” will be showing at the theater.

For the Schneiders, the PROMise Dress Sale is just another way to help out the community.

“The sale is a great cause and two-sided,” said Jay. “It helps girls find a prom dress at the lower cost, and it helps charities in our community.”

While it’s a large number, Thompson is hoping to collect 1,000 dresses this year. She is also accepting shoes, garters, purses and accessories.

A new twist this year is for those who donate a

dress five years or newer will receive a VIP pass, which will allow them to shop dresses the night before the sale.

VIP Friday will be from 5 to 7 p.m. March 6. The regular sale will be 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, March 7.

Everyone is invited to attend the sale.

“You don’t have to be going to prom to shop at the sale,” Thompson reassured.

Dresses can be donated at the Apollo Theater on South Main Street in Princeton or at the First United Methodist Church, located at 316 S. Church St., Princeton.

For questions, call Thompson at 815-3033310.

From the editor’s desk The warmer temperatures the past few days have been a wonderful reprieve, in the scope of winter weather. But I wouldn’t get used to it ... Mother Nature has a way teasing us and then slapping us back into reality. I am enjoying the extended daylight each day.

You? ••• I’d like to thank so many of you for your excitement about the Bureau County Republican/Putnam County Record’s “Dear Soldier” letter-writing campaign. We are currently getting all of the “mailboxes” in order, and then we will be distributing them around the two-county area. Many have already expressed an interest in hosting a mailbox at their business, school or church — where people can deposit their letters to U.S. military personnel and veterans. At the close of the campaign, we will Terri Simon send the letters to Operation Gratitude, which will distribute the letters and drawings to military personnel and veterans — both stateside and abroad.

It’s a cool project — the brainchild of BCR Staff Writer Zita Henneberry. We will let you know when the boxes are in place. If you have a letter you’d like to give us now, feel free to drop it off at the BCR or mail it to us at Dear Soldier, Bureau County Republican, P.O. Box 340, Princeton, IL 61356. We already have letters coming in. I hope we have thousands to send to our nation’s heroes. Give Zita a call if you have any questions at 815-875-4461, ext. 6334, or email her at zhenneberry@ bcrnews.com.

••• Did you see our newest addition to the Illinois Valley Scene? Nine-year-old columnist Logan Serpette is producing “Cool Kids Corner,” — an interactive page for children to read, submit their own items for the page — drawings, jokes, recipes, fun facts and more, and become excited about reading their local, hometown newspaper. Logan’s column will run once a month in the Illinois Valley Scene. It’s our hope area teachers/ students will embrace this fun page and send him items to use in his column. You can reach Logan at coolkidscorner@outlook.com.

••• Customer Service Kudos: Do you know a business or an employee of a business that delivers great customer service? If so, I’d like to tell other readers about them.

Email your Kudos to me at tsimon@bcrnews.com. Following are the Kudos I’ve received recently: • Lori said, “I would like to give a Kudos to Joe at Walmart in the photo department. He was very helpful and walked me through step-by-step photo printing from my cell phone.”

• Glenn said, “My Kudos go to the people at the Red Apple (in Princeton). I drink coffee there a lot, and everybody makes me feel so welcome.”

• LouAnn said, “Customer service always seems important at Four Seasons (in Princeton). They are eager to help, and they know when to leave you alone to shop by yourself.”

••• As I write this on Monday, I do so with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on my mind. Some businesses/schools were closed to honor the civil rights leader, world humanitarian and Nobel Peace Prize winner. On Monday evening, the Princeton Peace and Justice Roundtable hosted the second annual community observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day at the Prouty Building in Princeton. I hope you had the opportunity to attend.

While I had other commitments, I really wanted to go. I applaud the organizers of this event and all who participated.

King had a dream ... one of equality for all men and women. While we are closer to realizing that dream than we’ve ever been, unfortunately we still have a long way to go ...

••• I hope you have a great week — one where you give yourself some time to spend with family and friends ... as well as yourself. Life is not a dress rehearsal. If there are things you want to do, do them now — while also giving yourself the luxury of some time to just be still with your thoughts. Breath. Exhale. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

This, that and the odder Everything in our family is a production. Going to the store, getting children dressed in the morning, watching a movie together ... the list is endless.

The other day, my dad announced he wanted to go out to dinner that evening. This is a very rare treat in our family. We go out maybe four to six times a year. We were especially excited because my dad said we were going to the Park Tavern. We have heard from many people their food is outstanding and reasonable, but we haven’t been there to eat as a family.

Being thoroughly excited, my sisters wanted to get all dressed up.

I agreed to curl Faustina’s hair and help Patsy pick out an outfit. They decided they wanted to match, so I found them coordinating purple, black and white attire. Faustina about had a fit when I came down wearing a red scarf because I didn’t match their outfits. After several hours of trying to please two, very strong opinionated girls, my dad said it was about time to leave.

Then the chaos really started to begin ...

We were not even in our cars yet, and people are shouting out their orders: Mozzarella sticks, French fries, etc ... After piling into two cars, we all drove to the Park Tavern. We knew, it was popular so we headed out early and got there before 5 p.m. What we didn’t know was that they fill up early. When we got there it was packed. There was going to be a big wait to fit all of us, so we decided to go someplace else (waiting with 7 children is a joke!).

With kids freaking out because we were loading back into the car, my dad quickly decided to head to Kelly’s Place in Tiskilwa. It was about a 15-minute drive to Kelly’s.

As we were on our way it started to snow. I didn’t mention yet that a winter storm warning was in effect.

We pulled up in front of Kelly’s, and there was not a light on. Apparently they are closed on Mondays.

With nine hungry mouths to feed and an 8 year old who has her heart set on mozzarella sticks, we go to the only other place we can think of that serves them, Wise Guys in Princeton. At this point,

Amelia Bystry COMMENTARY

the snow is starting to come down pretty heavily. I am in my car with my two older brothers, Justus and Milo, and everyone else is piled into the van. As we are approaching the stoplights in Princeton, I start to have a back seat driver. Justus believes that having a permit for a few months makes him an expert on driving. We were approaching a stop light, and it turned yellow.

Any other time I would stop, but this time there was snow all over the ground, so you couldn’t see the stop lines, and it was slippery out. Not following his instructions to stop, I gracefully glided through the yellow light. Justus then tells me that I should have stopped, but I pointed out to him the person behind me went through also.

We arrive at Wise Guys, and it was empty. There were two other tables with people in the whole restaurant. This was a good thing because wherever we go, we cause quite the commotion. We all got seated, and the waiter started taking drink orders. My mom makes us all get water because it cuts down on the bill, plus caffeine consumption in kids at this time of the night is not a good thing. But she was perplexed when she told the waiter all the kids will have water, and he proceeded to look at my brother and I wondering what we would drink. Under her breath she said, “They are kids too!”

We were able to place our orders in a relatively uneventful manner, but everyone refused to order from the kids’ menu. After a good wait, and several rounds of rock, paper, scissors, the food starts arriving.

Patsy got her food first, and she can’t even begin to eat her french fries without a pond size amount of ketchup. My mom starts giving her ketchup just as the waiter is handing out more of the plates. It, of course, makes that loud farting sound that ketchup makes. Simeon,

who is 10, starts laughing in this cackling manner, and pretty soon the whole table is cracking up. It was slightly immature, but laughing is just contagious. I couldn’t tell if the waiter was laughing, but I am guessing he was.

Now my brother Simeon is just about the most thankful person on earth. He loves to give compliments and tell people thank you.

This sounds like a good thing, but every single time anybody from the restaurant went by, he would say, “This food is amazing!” “Wow, this is great chicken!” “Great salad” or “I love the pictures on the wall.” It does get old, especially after hearing it said 15 or 20 times!

When we were ready to leave, my dad asked if I had an ice scraper because the snow was completely blowing and piling up on our cars.

I wasn’t sure if I had put the one he gave me for Christmas in the car yet, but I didn’t want to admit to that. My mom reassured me saying that was what credit cards were for. I didn’t really get what she was saying until she reminded me that in a make-do situation, scraping the snow off your car with a credit card is the best option. I vaguely remember her using this technique, and I kind of remember the outcome. Thankfully, when we got out to the car, it was safely tucked under the back seat, and we all started clearing the windows.

It was a fun night with lots of crazy events. We were all in good moods, and there was minimal fighting on the way back home, although I was told that Faustina had opened her take-home box and was trying to nibble fries, as Patsy grabbed the box causing the contents to spill on the floor. We made it home safely, and everyone was overly excited to eat their leftovers (those that didn’t spill) in the morning.

The next time we decide to go to the Park Tavern, we will definitely remember to make reservations, but I think we all now understand the reason our family only goes out to dinner four to six times a year.

What Bureau County United Way dollars go for ...

University of Illinois Extension The University of Illinois Extension is grateful for the support of the Bureau County United Way. The funding provided is matched with state funds and provides for hands-on 4-H programs that help both teens and younger youth develop life skills and build confidence in their abilities.

A special program, “4-H Food Smart Families,” is an initiative to help families live healthy on a budget.

“This program empowers 4-H youth, who are already driving positive health outcomes in their communities, to grow as leaders, deliver practical solutions to their families and improve their own healthy lifestyles in the process,” said Breanne Suarez, Extension Youth Development Educator.

The 4-H Food Smart Families program engages 4-H teen leaders to serve as youth ambassadors and mentors to teach their peers, family and local community about proper nutrition. University of Illinois Extension’s Nutrition Education Programs and 4-H Youth Development Programs teamed up to offer this impactful program that equips youth and families with nutrition education and food skills to foster healthier lifestyles. The program was recently delivered in DePue and Spring Valley. The teen teachers were trained and prepared for their role by Extension staff, supported by staff mentors, and were empowered to apply what they learned to teach the lessons to youth, ages 8-12. The goals of the program include: helping youth and families improve their nutrition, allowing youth to learn cooking techniques/skills, and teaching an understanding of food budget management skills. Each day of the program focused on a different cooking skill and recipe. On the last day of cooking school, families were invited to enjoy and learn about food prepared by their children.

The teaching experience allows teens to see themselves as mentors for younger youth while acquiring job training skills at the same time. One teen teacher

shared, “I’ve learned better leadership skills and my favorite part of being in the program is teaching the kids new things.” Breanne Suarez, Youth Development Educator, shares, “I was impressed with the teen’s ability to connect with the younger youth and independently teach the lessons successfully. The opportunity allowed teen leaders to become involved in their community while preparing them to become employable adults of the future.”

The 4-H program is open to all youth ages 5-19.

Many different programs are available for the various age groups. Programs are offered across Bureau County in community clubs, school programs, afterschool programs, special interest clubs and through special events, workshops and field trips.

Area students graduate from IVCC therapeutic massage program OGLESBY — The recent Illinois Valley Community College therapeutic massage graduation was opened by IVCC President Jerry Corcoran with comments by Dean of Health Professions and Director of Nursing Bonnie Campbell and guest speaker Jeffrey Johnson, a 2012 graduate of the program.

Graduates included Karen Cooling of Tonica, Megan Casterella-Russell of LaSalle, Jon Lowers of Mendota, Reynard Tirao of Princeton and Rosalinda Torres of Mendota.

Since its first graduating class in 2000, the program

has produced 160 certificate graduates working full- and part-time in private practice, spas, sports, healthcare and a variety of other areas. The program has also graduated eight licensed massage therapists with AAS degrees and two licensed massage therapists with an advanced certificate.

“Research continues to demonstrate the benefits of massage therapy, particularly in reducing pain, soreness and stiffness, recovery from injury and in relieving stress-related issues,” said program coordinator Cherie Monterastelli.

“The growing number of referrals from healthcare professionals indicates increased integration of massage therapy in that environment,” Monterastelli said. “More licensed massage therapists are finding employment opportunities in healthcare in and outside the district.”

Both the AAS and advance certificate programs focus on healthcare, projected to be the fastest growing job market for licensed massage therapists over the next five years. For information, contact Monterastelli at 815-224-0507.

Hospitalists A Team of People You Know Committed To Caring

New Adult Hospitalist Program

How Does the Adult Hospitalist Program Work?

St. Margaret’s Hospital is implementing an Adult Hospitalist Program. Under the new program, physicians specializing in hospital-based care (“hospitalists”) will be providing your daily hospital care during your entire hospital stay. They will work in cooperation with your primary care provider to ensure that you will continue to receive high quality care whenever you are hospitalized at St. Margaret’s.

Once you are hospitalized, the hospitalists will manage your care. They will coordinate and consult with your primary care provider and other specialists, closely monitoring your progress and keeping in close touch with you and your family.

Hospitalists have one purpose - to focus 100% of his or her time on the adult hospitalized patient. Studies show that hospital care is better for patients when it is provided by hospitalists. The Adult Hospitalist Program also allows your primary care provider to dedicate their full attention to their office patients.

St. Margaret’s Hospital provides hospitalist coverage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

At discharge, the hospitalists will also communicate with your primary care provider to review your hospital care and the follow-up plan. This will ensure a smooth transition of your care when you are discharged from the hospital.

Boys basketball: Princeton 62, Hall 60

Hanging on Reinhardt, Tigers trip Red Devils after squandering 15-point lead

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Hall trailed by 15 points entering the fourth quarter of Friday’s Three Rivers contest at Prouty Gym, and a flurry of Red Devil offense and missed free throws

by Princeton brought them all the way back to a tie with just under a minute to play.

W h e n they were unable to Jake execute a Reinhardt b a c k - d o o r 19 points cut for a game-tying for Tigers basket, the Red Devils got the ball to senior Ryan Cinotte, whose three-point shot at the buzzer rimmed the basket and went out.

“In that situation we’re going for the win. We were not going for the tie,” Filippini said. “If we didn’t get that back-door play to A.J. (Gaeta) to tie it, we were going to pull the ball out, dribble penetrate and try to go for a three.”

Filippini said he gave all five players on the court the green light to take that last shot.

Princeton coach Jesse Brandt felt fortunate to walk away with the win.

“We survived, that’s about all we can say after this,” he said. “Give Hall credit. They made the plays in the fourth quarter, we were just fortunate to make more shots than they did at the end.”

That shot came from junior point guard Jake Reinhardt, who hit a pull-

“I saw an opening to drive down the line, but the defender dropped down to cover our big so I pulled up and made the shot,” Reinhardt said. “I just took what the defense gave me and I also give lots of credit to the fans and student section for being in the game with us, after hitting that shot

the gym was the loudest I have ever heard it and it was awesome.”

Brandt found some irony with that shot considering Reinhardt had just missed three free throw attempts.

“I gave Jake a hard time, he missed three throws then he hit a jump shot in transition at the freethrow line, I guess more in rhythm,” Brandt said.

The Hall comeback was fueled by the Tigers’

missed free throws, seven straight down the stretch including the front end of one and bonus opportunity. Reinhardt missed three and senior Brenton Schmidt four.

“We had the guys we wanted shooting, but for whatever reason they just wouldn’t go in,” Brandt said.

Filippini acknowledged Hall was trying not to foul

Tigers Page 12

PRINCETON — A mixture of good team play by the Hall Lady Red Devils and the inability to execute by the Princeton Tigresses made for a lopsided contest as the Lady Red Devils defeated the Tigresses 43-24 Saturday afternoon in Prouty Gymnasium.

Senior forward Ellie Herrmann set the tone, knocking down a three-pointer from the left wing just 15 seconds into the game.

A baseline jump shot with 2:23 to play in the first quarter by Abby Jaques cut the Hall lead at 11-4.

This would be the last point scored by Princeton until 7:12 left in the third quarter, as Hall dominated defensively in the next 11 minutes of game play and were patient offensively going on a 16-0 run.

“One of our biggest

issues against Kewanee was our offensive possessions were too quick.

Everything was one or two passes and a shot, and it’s hard to get back and play defense all game when that’s how you are playing on offense. We tried to remedy that coming into today’s game and we did,” Hall coach Brian Holman said. “Our defense looked a lot better because our offense was able to set up and that gave some relief on the defense.”

Princeton started to show some signs of life in the second half as they scored five in a row capped off by a transition bucket by senior forward Brianna Barajas, but improved Princeton play proved to be too little too late after the lack of offense in the first half.

“Hall outplayed us in the first half. We moved

“I thought our kids did a great job following the game plan,” he said. “We were two points short tonight, but we made like a 1,000 percent improvement from Tuesday ... That’s the way we can play.”

• Notes: PHS won the sophomore game 44-29 to improve to 4-0 in TRAC East play. ... Princeton, which lost 49-41 Saturday at L-P, will be back at home Tuesday vs. Kewanee. Hall will host Sterling Newman.

Lions fall to HBR in Little Ten play

By Bill Schwabenland sports@bcrnews.com

LAMOILLE – A dreaded slow start on offense ultimately helped contribute to the LaMoille/Ohio Lions’ 49-34 loss to the Hinckley-Big Rock Royals Friday night in Little Ten Conference boys varsity basketball action.

“I think our kids are starting to see that they are capable of playing with these big teams,” said L/O coach Brent Kalsto, despite his team’s loss.

“We just need to make some shots to go along with the (good) defense that we’re playing.

“To hold Hinckley, the second-best team, probably, in the Little Ten, to 49 points, it’s unbelievable. We had so many open shots, good looks, ball movement was there tonight. I loved it. We just can’t score only 34 points.”

The Royals jumped out to leads of 5-0 and 10-2, before settling for a 14-5 lead after eight minutes of play.

L/O went just 2-12 from the field and committed six of the home team’s 13 turnovers in the first quarter.

The Royals doubled up the Lions, 22-11, at the break, as HBR outscored the Lions, 8-6, in a low-scoring second frame.

Lady Devils From Page 11 ball much better in the second half offensively, but we have to do that from the start,” Princeton coach Kevin Hieronymus said.

Herrmann had game highs of 13 points and five assists, while sophomore guard Hunter Galassi chipped in 12 points and 10 boards for a double-double and also had a game high six steals.

Senior forward Taylor Clark led the Tigresses with seven points.

“We wanted to slow everything down. I told the girls the problems we ran into in Kewanee were my fault because I didn’t make adjustments soon

enough,” Holman said.

“Tonight I made some adjustments, and I wanted see if we could set up some offense and run through our plays.

“If you’re not patient on offense and can’t run through it for 20-30 seconds, you can’t be expected to play good defense because you’re just worn out from running back and forth every five seconds.

It’s something we’ll continue to work on and get better.”

Jack Bullard paced HBR (9-7, 2-2) with 18 points, including 7-10 free throws, while teammate Eric Phillips added a dozen tallies.

“That’s a good game for Jack (Bullard) to step up. He’s averaging about nine points a game,” Sambrookes said. “Chris Taylor, he’s the one who hit a couple of big shots in the fourth quarter, because he hadn’t scored until then. So those were nice contributions for us.”

Josh Gross led the Lions with 10 points. Derek Debruhl supplied seven points and a team-high five rebounds.

• LaMoille/Ohio’s frosh-soph squad provided the home crowd’s highlight of the night, rallying from as many as 10 points down midway through the third quarter to defeat the younger Royals, 30-27, in the prelim contest.

LaMoille freshman Dominic Moore scored seven of his game-high nine points in a pivotal fourth quarter, including a pair of free throws with :05.5 showing on the clock to ice the victory.

10 tips for becoming a more efficient and eco-friendly business (BPT) - Sustainability is good for the environment, but did you know it’s also good for the bottom line?

The headlines are filled with stories about the latest and greatest sustainability goals and projects for large corporations. But, you don’t have to be a giant company to be a green business.

Sixty-five percent of leaders at small and medium sized-businesses are committed to increasing eco-friendly activities, according to the Cox Conserves Sustainability Survey. The survey also revealed that half of small businesses believe sustainability is good for the bottom line and will become a standard practice in the next five years.

“Our research revealed that SMBs welcome the opportunity to learn more about sustainability, and there is compelling data that education can move the needle on sustainability,” says Cox Enterprises Executive Vice President Alex Taylor. “There is a correlation between the amount of sustainability knowledge business leaders reported having and their level of participation in eco-friendly programs.”

While some projects require large-scale investments, small businesses can easily become more efficient in many other ways.

Here are some quick tips that can help any sized business improve efficiency.

1. Turn off computers and other office equipment when they are not in use.

2. Lower your heater thermostat to the lowest comfortable setting when your business is occupied. Set the temperature back further when the business is unoccupied.

3. Use paper efficiently by printing double sided and using shredded scrap paper as packing materials for shipping.

4. Talk to your building manager about incorporating recycling programs, as well as energy and water-efficient appliances.

5. Offer paperless billing to reduce costs associated with materials and mailing.

Operating in an efficient manner is important, and engaging your customers and employees can also make a difference.

1. Consider teleworking as an option for employees.

2. Encourage employees to keep reusable mugs and bottles at work. Earth911 reports that the average American office worker uses 500 disposable cups every year.

3. Ask your employees for ideas on how to operate

ALBRECHT

more efficiently.

4. Offer discounts to customers who bring their own bags or opt out of taking one.

5. Add a note to your email signatures with the message: Consider the environment. Please print this email only if necessary.

These easy tips can start your business on a journey toward becoming a more efficient and eco-friendly organization. The benefits start at protecting the earth and extend to enhancing the bottom line.
