Exploring Common Core

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

Editor’s note: The following is the first story in a series concerning the recently implemented Common Core State-Set Standards.

PRINCETON — A clear understanding of modern education appears to

be not so common when examining the educational Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI).

As explained by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), Common Core is an attempt to unify the learning standards and the educational progress in English language arts (ELA) and mathematics across the states. They find

these standards to have a focus in practical thinking and skill-based learning.

Princeton Elementary Superintendent Tim Smith described the standards as “critical thinking” based.

The learning structure is much like those critical thinking exercises found at the end of chapters in old textbooks, he said.

Princeton High School

Superintendent Kirk Haring explained, “With the nation’s increased mobility, schools are dealing with gaps in students’ education. The mobility of families creates gaps in students’ education when each state or even each school district has separate and unique expectations for a specific grade level.”

According to Haring, the CCSSI is working to rectify these gaps through specific state set standards for education.

The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) said, “These standards define the knowledge and skills students should have within their K-12 education careers, so that they will graduate from high

school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses and in workforce training programs. The standards are 1. Research and evidence based; 2. Aligned with college and work expectations; 3. Rigorous; and 4. Internationally bench-marked.”

Rezin: The place where it all started Senator visits LaMoille High School to check out STEM projects

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

LAMOILLE — State Sen. Sue Rezin was at LaMoille High School on Friday, March 20, scoping out various STEM projects students have been working on in their new program.

Projects included bridge building, robotics, various science projects, computer strategy games and much more.

High-schoolers have been participating in STEM Friday groups as a way to increase student achievement and be introduced to new skills they will be able to utilize post high school.

As previously reported in the BCR, STEM integrates science, technology, engineering and mathematics into various disciplines taught through hands-on projects.

As she walked from group to group on Friday,

Rezin made a point to tell students the STEM projects they were working on would be something they would put on their college application and “be no doubt one of the biggest assets they would have.

“You’re already working on problem solving, critical thinking and that whole process. It’s important to colleges but also important to many employers out there,” she said.

Rezin was accompanied

by LaMoille Superintendent Ricardo Espinoza, school board president Mary Taylor, board secretary Jeff Pinter and school counselor Katie Shevokas.

Following the tour, Espinoza pointed out how well students worked together in their groups.

“At the end of the day, these kids really want to BCR photo/Goldie Currie work with each other, and they are proud of our LaMoille High School freshmen Tyler Perry (from left) and Dawson Michael talk with Illinois State Sen.

Second annual Cystic Fibrosis Walk is June 27

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Cheriz Kunkel of Princeton is revving up to host the second annual Princeton Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Walk at Zearing Park on June 27.

The date is still a few months away, however, planning in is full gear as Kunkel is currently seeking teams, donations, raffle items and sponsors for the big event.

Because of the success of last year’s CF Walk, the Princeton walk location was added to the list of CF Foundation’s National Great Strides Walk sites for 2015. Last year’s event drew more than 120 participants from all over the county and beyond and raised around $13,300.

The monies went to research for the cure of Cystic Fibrosis (CF), which is a life-threatening disordered that causes severe damage to the lungs and digestive system.

This year’s event will be for the same cause, and will aim to be bigger and better.

Kunkel’s goal this year is to attract more than 200 people to the walk and raise $25,000.

“I’m still the coordinator of the walk, but I’m working closely with the CF Foundation to organize it,” Kunkel said.

This year, Kunkel will be putting everything she’s got into the event.

“A lot has happened to me, medically and CF related, since last year … including surgery, hospitalizations, drop in lung function and more,” she said.

Kunkel also lost a best friend to CF this past September.

“Laura was always proactive in raising money for the CF Foundation, and I feel she is always inspiring me to work harder and be healthier,” Kunkel said. “She

Upcoming Cystic Fibrosis event in Peru There will be a Guest Waiter fundraiser event at The Right Spice restaurant in Peru on Wednesday, March 25, for Cystic Fibrosis.

Special guest Christina Davidson of Nashville will be attending the event to help spread awareness about this disease.

Davidson released a video online at the end of last year where she used flash cards to describe her life with CF. Since then, the video has gone viral and is being viewed by over 12 million people worldwide.

Davidson has been traveling around the country to spread awareness about CF. She also created christinadavidsonfoundation.org.

On March 2, Davidson was featured on the TV show, “The Doctors,” and has also been featured in People magazine and on “Today” and “BBC News Worldwide.”

Davidson also plans to return to the Illinois Valley in June to participate in the Great Strides Walk at Zearing Park in Princeton. was always proud of me and wanted me to thrive.

I will continue to thrive and fundraise in her memory.”

Kunkel said through the hardships she’s been met with this last year, she is proud of her accomplishments throughout the last few months.

“Even with my positives, I had some struggles,” she said. “I struggle more with my arthritis, liver issues, intestinal issues and lung function the older I get. I have to do all 11 breathing treatments, or I feel like I’m struggling to breathe; it’s more and more work with age.”

Kunkel said while it gets harder every year, she loves how the CF population is now living into adulthood.

“Medication and research is further needed to not only extend our years of life, but the amount of quality time we get,” she said.

“I founded this walk in honor of those who have lost their battles, like Laura, for all those who are fighting or ever will fight CF, and for my

Those looking to be a part of the CF walk can do so at peoria.cff.org/ Princeton. For those interested in being a sponsor or interested in donating to the cause or a raffle item for the event, contact Kunkel at cysticfibrosiswalk@gmail.com.

Sponsors can donate $100 to the CF Foundation; this will include their company name on the back of the Princeton walk shirts.

Mautino backs measure to notify parents about sex offenders near school bus stops

BCR photo/Terri Simon

BCR, PCR donates to local food pantries Staff at the Bureau County Republican, Putnam County Record made donations recently to six area food pantries.

The money came from fundraising efforts at the two newspapers along with an anonymous donor. Each pantry received $530. Pictured are Ashley Oliver (front row, from left), BCR/PCR multi-media consultant; Janet Heidenreich and Barbara Warling, Walnut Food Pantry, Shannon Serpette, BCR/PCR copy editor/staff writer; Jan Martin, Hall Township Food Pantry, Joanne Baker, Wyanet Food Pantry; and Mary Lanham, Western Bureau County Food Pantry. In the back row are Zita Henneberry, BCR staff writer: Cleo Lanham, Western Bureau County Food Pantry; John Shimkus, Putnam County Food Pantry; and Vanessa Hoffeditz, Bureau County Food Pantry.

SPRINGFIELD — Parents would be notified of dangerous sex offenders living near school bus stops under new legislation backed by state Rep. Frank Mautino.

“Schools should be supportive, enriching places that families feel secure sending their children, and this must extend to the place where students start and end their days,” Mautino said. “Adding to the information that parents have about their community will allow them to make choices they deem appropriate to ensure that their kids are safe.”

Mautino is supporting House Bill 3634, which requires school districts to notify parents if registered sex offenders live within 500 feet of a school bus stop. Current law forbids sex offenders from residing within 500 feet of a school, park or playground, but no

such protection is afforded to children waiting for transportation to school.

According to the Illinois State Police, Bureau County is home to 38 registered sex offenders, while 185 live in LaSalle County and 70 reside in Livingston County.

“The threat posed by sexual predators is one that should never be underestimated,” Mautino said. “Their proximity to our kids is an unacceptable risk and we must continue to strengthen the laws that protect young people from them.”

House Bill 3634 awaits consideration by the House Elementary and Secondary Education: School Curriculum and Policies Committee.

Mautino represents the 76th District, which includes all or portions of Bureau, LaSalle, Livingston and Putnam counties.

SPRING VALLEY — As negative publicity toward PARCC testing in schools gains momentum, it’s got some Spring Valley Elementary School Board members questioning its importance.

PARCC stands for Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers. The kindergarten through 12th-grade assessments in math and English language arts/literacy are meant to measure whether students are on track in learning and for success after high school.

At the Wednesday, March 18, board meeting, board member Tom Vallero said he had been doing research about the test and found out only 11

states are involved in the PARCC program.

“If it’s that important, why aren’t the other states involved?” he asked.

Vallero also pointed out how a school in Chicago at first refused the test, until they discovered they were

not getting any of their state funding. Upon their discovery, their mayor spoke up and suggested the school start taking part in the test.

Vallero also mentioned how the testing seems to take away from everyday

SVE Principal Kim Lisanby-Barber spoke up and said the specials had been

put back in place for students during testing, at the teachers’ requests.

Vallero commented how many schools are only doing PARCC testing because the Department of Education is requiring everyone to do

it and holding it over the heads of school districts.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the classroom, and I guess I’m old school, But I think we’re taking away from the classroom instruction to satisfy the federal government, which uses local control of our schools.

That’s what I’m most concerned about,” he said.

Lisanby-Barber said she didn’t think anyone would disagree with Vallero’s concerns.

Superintendent Jim Hermes spoke up and said that’s why Vision 2020 is being proposed. Vision 2020 is a school reform plan that many schools in the state are now standing behind. One of its main goals is to give more local control to school districts.

“Vision 2020 is pro school and pro students and about what’s best for students,” Hermes said.

TCI From Page 1 According to Princeton City Manager Jeff Clawson, the custom solutions side of TCI productions has grown significantly, causing the need for its future Princeton branch.

Maynard confirmed the TCI Walnut operation will remain functional with a focus in its standard orders, while the new Princeton location will focus on its custom orders.

While they have expressed interest in Princeton for some time now, said Clawson, the council needed to respect their wish to remain unannounced at that time.

“We’re really excited about it,” said Clawson, referring to TCI coming to Princeton.

Clawson explained the company hopes to be up

Core From Page 1 ISBE explains Common Core began as and continues to be a collaborative effort, orchestrated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). As a state-led and driven initiative, states have adopted the standards throughout recent years.

The ISBE said Illinois adopted the standards in June of 2010, however, did not fully implement them until the 2013-14 school year. That year, the standards were fully implemented or immersed into every classroom at every grade level.

Here lies the problem, explained Smith. While Smith believes the new educational state-mandated standards have merit, he finds their implementa-

and running by the fall, based on its business model and merchandise demand. However, he added, there are a few more steps in the transaction process.

The easy access to Princeton, right off of Interstate 80, will help with the transportation of both laborers and goods, said Clawson.

As previously reported in the Bureau County Republican, Princeton has agreed to sell 15 acres on the north end of the Logistics Park with an additional 10-acre option to the buyer (TCI).

In return, the buyer (TCI) has agreed to invest, at minimum, $3 million into the area and provide at least 10 jobs. These are just the numbers they can guarantee, said Clawson.

It is much more probable, he added, there will eventually be much more than 10 jobs created by

this project.

Construction of the new TCI custom-order branch will require reinforcement of the road connecting to the property. While the Princeton City Council has agreed to spend $45,000 on this project, they still may not have to.

Both TCI and Princeton are hoping the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) will approve a direct access entrance off of Route 26. While Mayor Keith Cain has extended his approval of this entrance, the final determination is left to IDOT. The council has done all we can to make this happen, however, TCI will have to make the official request, said Clawson. He said this is a compromise to benefit both the city and TCI, so hopefully IDOT will grant their approval.

tion has been rushed.

“Skills-based learning makes sense on many levels. However, the implementation of this must be appropriate in order to experience success,” said Smith.

As an example Smith asked, “Why are Grade 8 students being held accountable via testing, as though they have had Common Core instruction their entire elementary experience?”

While Smith wishes the standards could have been phased into the educational system in a more productive manner, these state-mandated standards are currently in full effect.

As with any new system, however, there are a few common concerns or structural kinks.

Just as it does with any new system, said Smith, it will take some time to fully gauge the effectiveness of these standards in education. Educators and parents alike are having

to familiarize themselves with Common Core in an effort to fully support students in their education.

A common struggle for many parents, said Smith, is their limited ability to help their children when working in Common Core.

Additionally, he added, the limited number of resources on these new standards does nothing to remedy their struggle.

While parents are working to help their children at home, instruction itself has seen a shift in the classroom.

How teachers interpret the standards will dictate the educational progression through the Common Core mandates and its overall success throughout the states.

the work place.

“It’s not much different from what we are doing now versus what they are trying to do at a younger age,” Rezin said.

Espinoza mentioned how the junior high students were also being introduced to STEM projects, and it’s something the district is looking to incorporate into elementary school classes.

Pinter pointed out how some of the STEM curriculum has encouraged stu-

dents to work on projects in the community, and how that could potentially bring more businesses to the community.

Rezin agreed and said when the current students are five to ten years out of college and have professions such as engineers, they will now be able to go back to LaMoille High School and say this was the place where it all started.

Centuries of tradition at Chapel Hill Rural Princeton business hosting a wedding expo

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — In a classic blend of historical significance and modern elegance, the Chapel Hill Golf Course will celebrate an age-old tradition.

Chapel Hill owner David Husemann said through this bride and groom expo, the hope is to bring people into the area and really showcase all that Princeton has to offer. It’s a great town with a good name and a lot to offer, he said.

From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, April 4, the wedding expo at the Chapel Hill Golf Course and Event Center will host approximately 55 vendors and offer prizes to the brides.

Any grooms accompanying their brides-to-be will be offered a free game on the 18-hole golf course.

This is a bride and groom show, said Husemann.

In a century-old mansion with a classic setting, Chapel Hill offers a secluded country experience for any celebration.

Husemann explained, the historical setting, beautiful area and affordable prices really set Chapel Hill apart.

“We price all the events to be affordable,” he said, adding weddings start at $2,200.

The vintage chapel, currently under construction, is expected to be completed around midMay in time for the wedding season, said Husemann.

Apart from this classic chapel, the green and open golf course and century-old country clubhouse, Chapel Hill has a 100-year-old swing bridge. This historical

bridge is held up with cables from the Cherry Mine Disaster, said Husemann.

Husemann believes people will be traveling from all over the area to attend this substantial matrimonial exhibit. Vendors will be coming from areas including Dixon, Ottawa, LaSalle/Peru, Kewanee, Toluca and more.

With plenty of caterers, three or four wedding cake specialists, three to four DJs, three to four florists, a travel agent and much more, there will be plenty to see and do, he said.

Along with the various door prizes at the event, there will be one $500 cash prize for one lucky bride. The bar will be open, and the men can go out golfing while the women will have plenty of vendors to browse. The experience is sure to be an enjoyable day for all who wish to attend.

From the editor’s desk Wow! That wintry mix threw us a curve ball Monday morning? Enough said ...

••• It’s difficult to believe Palm Sunday is this coming weekend, which begins the Holy Week celebration.

I don’t know about you, but I have so many fond memories of Easter from yesteryear.

From the Easter Bunny to that shoe box waiting patiently in my closet, filled with those white patent-leather shoes. Our Easters were filled with traditions, many which we still observe today. To this day, I always remember waking up to find a green, hard-boiled egg in my slipper! Go Terri Simon figure!

As you begin to plan for your Easter celebrations, I hope you either continue some of your traditions from the past or begin some new ones.

••• Speaking of Easter and Holy Week, we’ll be happy to let other readers know about special events happening in association with this holiday. Please email your information about Palm Sunday services, Maundy Thursday services, Good Friday services and Easter services to news@bcrnews.com. Make sure you include all the what, when, where and other pertinent information. A telephone number should also be included in case we have any questions.

••• “Here comes Peter Cottontail!” The BCR will also be happy to publish your organization’s Easter egg hunts for other readers to see. Just follow the information above, and we’ll be happy to send all those Easter egg hunters to your fun-filled activities.

As always, the Bureau County Republican’s Editorial Department is still a depository for any and all leftover Easter treats ... just sayin’. (By the way, those Easter Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs are my favorite!

Ha!) ••• Just a reminder: Tonight, Tuesday, March 24, the BCR will host a Candidates’ Forum for candidates running for Princeton mayor and Princeton commissioners. The event begins promptly at 7 p.m. at the Bureau County Metro Center. Candidates will begin the evening with opening remarks. After that, the BCR Editorial Board has formulated questions for candidates, who will each have two minutes to answer the questions and one minute for any additional thoughts. All candidates will have two minutes to offer any closing remarks.

This is not a debate. The BCR will not accept any questions from the floor.

Whether you’ve already made your selections for who you want to vote for ... or if you’re still unsure about your choice, this is a great event to learn about your candidates and what they bring to the table.

We’ve also told candidates they are welcome to stick around after the event to meet with any constituents, answer questions, etc.

I hope to see you there.

••• The deadline to submit a letter for the BCR’s Dear Soldier campaign is drawing near — April 5. If you’d like to submit a letter or a drawing (from children) that will be sent to U.S. military/veterans stateside and abroad, please make sure you do so before that date. If you have any questions about this project, contact BCR Staff Writer Zita Henneberry at 815875-4461, ext. 6334, or email her at zhenneberry@ bcrnews.com. Thanks to all who have participated in this worthwhile project honoring our nation’s heroes.

••• A big round of applause to Bureau County/Sheffield native Grey Giovanine, the coach of the Augustana Vikings, who took his team to the NCAA Division 3 National Championship and brought home a second-place trophy! Wow! Way to go, Grey! You made Bureau County proud!

On the street

The biennial Covered Bridge Quilters Guild quilt show was Saturday and Sunday.

Why do you enjoy quilting?

“I like piecing a quilt together like a puzzle, and I like the designing.”

Sandy Rieker, Princeton

“Quilting mends the soul. I go off into another world when I’m quilting.”

Karen Yarro, Princeton

“I enjoy the creative challenge of quilting.

Every one is different.”

Janet Moreland, Malden

“I enjoy it because every quilt I come across has a story which speaks of the history of the quilt and the quilt-maker.”

Mary Serafini, Granville

“One of the main reasons I like to hand sew is because it’s relaxing and rewarding to see the end product. It’s also a good way to meet new people that share a common interest.”

Sandra Grivetti, Ladd

TO Letter THE Editor

Proposals, decisions should be fair To the Editor, Thank you to the commissioners who voted against the so-called new business district. As a longtime citizen of Princeton, I’m not in favor of this endeavor. Let’s hope future proposals and decisions made will be fair to all our businesses and citizens.

Carolyn Taylor Princeton

Who isn’t doing their job?

To the Editor, I read with great interest Lisa Stefani’s letter. Being a small business owner for 25-plus years, I totally agree. Look around. This city is maintained by small businesses.

Where is our tax dollar help?

Mr. Warren says a clinic in the old Sullivan’s building does not generate sales tax. So what? It fills a building and generates jobs.

Shouldn’t that be a priority?

Does it not seem funny that only one empty building becomes the recipient? The building has been empty for 15 years. Mr. Warren says we have done nothing to increase the economic value. Why should we? If it’s empty for 15 years that tells me that it is either priced too

high or somebody isn’t doing their job. Last time I looked, when you have something vacant for 15 years, someone is not doing their job.

I congratulate Marty from TSC for just saying no. It’s about time someone tells the city no.

Truth be known, interest has been shown in this building, but Walmart has final say; so why should the city bail out a big conglomerate such as Walmart (remember, they own the building) and let others go by the wayside.

Ernie Whittington, K&E Auto Sales Princeton

Shame, shame, shame To the Editor, In the last election most people voted to get rid of Obama care and amnesty. Yet the Republican Congress caved and did nothing. They walked away from what they said they would do. Where’s the justice?

Shame. Shame. Shame.

Obama would have vetoed what they should have done, but even if he vetoed this effort, it should have been debated and voted on in the Congress, so the voters, at the very least, would have been listened to by the Republicans.

Now most Americans say marriage should be between a man and a woman. However, the Supreme Court has now to decide on changing the definition of marriage.

How can nine Supreme Court justices ... only nine human beings, some of whom were raised Catholic, now walk away from what they should do.

Are they going to change the 4 Commandment from “Honor your father and mother?” (This Commandment upholds and defends the right to have children.) And now are they going to play God and change the Fourth Commandment to ... “Honor your father and father,” or “Honor your mother and mother?” Now where’s the justice?

Shame. Shame. Shame.

If you believe in Christianity and are not Muslim, the Lord said at Calvary ... ”Forgive them Father, for they know not what they are doing.”

Today, where are the Catholic Cardinals, Bishops and Priests on this issue, even before it is adjudicated?

In the fifth statement Our Lady told Sister Sasagawa in Our Lady of Akita, that Cardinals, Bishops and Priests are on the road to perdition (HELL) and are taking many people with them. This is a tragedy in the making.

Will the Lord forgive these justices, if they literally change the Fourth Commandment, and also all those who want to change the definition of marriage, and those that are silent on this issue?

Ana Egge at Princeton Coffeehouse on Saturday PRINCETON — Singer/songwriter Ana Egge will perform at the Princeton Coffeehouse at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 28. The coffeehouse is located at Open Prairie United Church of Christ, 25 E. Marion St. in Princeton. Doors open at 7 p.m.

No less a musical star than Lucinda Williams has described the young Egge as “an exceptional songwriter.

Listen to the lyrics ... the folk Nina Simone!” To date, Egge has released seven albums.

Born in Saskatchewan, Egge was raised in North Dakota and on a commune in rural New Mexico. She got the music bug as a teenager and moved to Austin to immerse herself in the music scene there. Egge has carried the influence of her Western upbringing with her to the East coast. For the last t10 years she has lived in Brooklyn.

A measure of Egge’s talent is lining up Steve Earle for her 2011 album, Bad Blood. Said Earle: “Ana Egge’s songs are low and lonesome, big square-state noir ballads which she plays on a guitar she built with her own two hands and sings like she’s telling us her deepest, darkest secrets.” She wrote the songs on Bad Blood to express the experience of coping with family members suffering from mental illness. Ultimately, despite the dark undercurrent, the

Musical program and luncheon PRINCETON — The Hampshire Colony Congregational Church women’s fellowship will hold a musical program and lunch on Wednesdays throughout the Lenten season. Ron McCutchan will perform from 12:10 to 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 25, followed by a luncheon in fellowship hall. The menu will be chicken casserole. For more information, call 815875-2329.

Ana Egge songs convey compassion and hope for redemption.

Egge has toured and shared the stage with, among others, Lucinda Williams, Ralph Stanley, John Prine, Ron Sexsmith, Shawn Colvin, Joan Armatrading, Iris Dement, Richard Thompson, and George Jones.

“Ana,” said Colvin, “has the rare gift of being so eloquent and simple that she takes your breath away.” Egge’s album, Bright Shadow, is about to be released. She will be bringing copies to her coffeehouse performance.

Mike and Jan English are the sponsors of the Ana Egge performance at this month’s coffeehouse.

Next month’s coffeehouse concert will be earlier than usual – April 11 with Sam Baker.

Admission is $15 at the door. Fair trade coffee, tea, and homemade desserts are available. The coffeehouse offers traditional and modern folk, blues and bluegrass music, monthly August to May. For information, visit www.theprincetoncoffeehouse.com or call 815-872-6501.

Bureau Valley High School Spanish 2 students design soccer jerseys MANLIUS — Spanish 2 students at Bureau Valley High School took a different approach to learning about the country of Argentina.

The students formed groups to redesign the Argentine national soccer jersey based on important cultural aspects of the country such as national symbols, geographical features or important historical dates. They spent a day in library researching the history, the cul-

ture and other national features that they wanted to include as symbols on the jersey. After choosing at least four symbols to represent Argentina, they designed a jersey accordingly on either an actual T-shirt or on poster board.

The students presented their final designs to the class with explanations as to why those symbols were picked. Each class then voted for the top two jerseys. Finally, the top four designs were displayed in

the commons and were voted upon by the student population.

The first-place jersey this year was designed

by Hannah Atherton, Marissa Mungia and Kaylee Towne, and second place went to Dana Macklin, Hollie Peterson and Kathirene Walker.

Third-place winners were Megan Hunt, Lexie Jacobs and Tiana Kennedy, and fourth-place votes went to Mary Kopp, Katie Smith and Sydney Sweenie.

Master’s Walleye Circuit Spring Valley Tournament

Friends reel in top prize

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Two longtime friends picked the right tournament to fish for fun as they staged a come-from-behind victory at the Master’s Walleye Circuit qualifier hosted by Cabela’s on the Illinois River in Spring Valley.

Anglers Terry Carr of Otley, Iowa, and Mark Meravy of Shorewood staged a comeback in Day 2 of competition as they started the day in second place, but a basket limit of five fish weighing 15 pounds, 11 ounces propelled the eventual winning team into first place with a two-day total of 30 pounds and 4 ounces.

“Mark said we should fish a tournament together for fun. He’s said it a few times over the last several years, and we ended up doing it,” Carr said.

Meravy’s persistence paid off as the pair amassed winnings of $19,061 in cash and prizes including $11,500 in cash for first place, $4,000 cash from the option pot, $311 for the big fish

Tommy Johnston • Bureau Valley (6-4, SR., G)

Season at a glance: Johnston played Robin to Neuhalfen’s Batman and was the Pippen to Neuhalfen’s Jordan behind the Storm’s success. He averaged 14.3 ppg, with a season-high 37 points to lead the Storm to a 76-62 regional seminal win over Fulton. He led the Storm in rebounding (7.5) and chipped in 2.3 assists per game.

“Tommy is a competitor, and he hates to lose. When games would get tight in the fourth quarter, I swear Tommy’s vertical off the floor on rebounds about tripled,” BV coach Jason Marquis said. “He became a bit of a match-up nightmare because of how big and strong he was, but compounded when his ball-handling, quickness, and ability to shoot the 3.

Johnston just missed unanimous all-conference selection in the Three Rivers East by one vote. He will suit up for the Illinois Valley All-Star Game.

khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Princeton’s Zoe Mead and Phoenix Smallwood are making fast tracks for the Lewis University track team.

They each ran three events to help the Flyers race to the Great Lakes Valley Conference Indoor championship in Indianapolis, March 1.

The freshman Mead ran on Lewis’ distance medley that qualified for the NCAA Division II Indoor Track and Field Championships, hosted

by Alabama Huntsville March 14.

Mead ran 2:13 for the 800 leg of the Flyers’ medley that finished 12th.

When the medley broke the school record with a 11:46, Mead ran 2:15.

Mead has run 2:15 in the open 800 indoors and nearly broke the school record in the 600, missing by .5 seconds. She also was on the conference champion DMR and run-

Season at a glance: Gaeta’s season started with much pain as a result of a knee injury from football, but coach Mike Filippini said Gaeta chose to “tough it out” rather than rest it. A big three threat (55), Gaeta averaged 11.7 points along with 1.7 steals a game.

Gaeta was named Second Team Three Rivers East All-Conference.

“A.J. played through the pain of the injury which shows you how tough he was. His knee started to feel better after Christmas, and that’s when he took off,” Filippini said. “He was our best and most clutch free throw shooter on the year. A.J. sealed several games down the stretch with his clutch free throw shooting.”

Neuhalfen’s postseason honors have been many. He was recognized as the Player of the Year in the Three Rivers East; he was named Second Team All-State by the AP and IBCA. He will wear the Storm colors for the upcoming Illinois Valley All-Star Game.

Numbers up for Lions baseball

By Holli Rapp sports@bcrnews.com

LAMOILLE — Despite graduating three staples in the LaMoille-Ohio roster, Anthony Lovgren, Preston Powers and David Dickey, Lions baseball coach Chuck Lovgren is excited for the season to start.

The Lions’ numbers are up with 19 players on their roster, led by seniors Jake Lucas, Tracer Mills, Bradley Davis and Adam Schweickert. L/O played most of last season with 11 players, sometimes having to cancel games because of number issues.

The veteran coach believes the mixture of experience with the seniors and juniors Collin Cromwell and Dustin Fultz will be a plus with the underclassmen on his roster.

Lucas is returning for his senior season after he led the squad last year in batting and will be expected to be the main horse on the pitching mound, backed up by sophomore

Chase Billhorn. Lovgren will also look to freshmen Ryan Schultz, Trevor Perry, Tyler Perry and Dominic Moore to provide some innings for his young squad that features nine freshmen and four sophomores.

Potential catchers for the Lions include sophomores Brad Beattie, George Stuepfert and freshmen Joey Rakowski and Clay Sundberg.

Lovgren believes many of his positions will be determined based on playing by committee, but Moore will see significant playing time at shortstop.

“We want to stay competitive and be in games,” said Lovgren, who is assisted by Roger Moore and Anthony Lovgren.

The Little 10 Conference will provide challenges for Lovgren’s squad with the likes of Somonauk, Indian Creek, Newark and Serena.

“The entire conference is tough,” said Lovgren.

Local anglers Adam and Steve Sandor of Ottawa led the field after Day 1 with a total weight of 14 pounds, 5 ounces, but fell to sixth place, as they couldn’t match their first day’s pace.

“We were fortunate to have a little flurry this morning where we got several of our big fish in just about an hour,” Meravy said.

Meravy becomes only the second person to claim three victories in the event, having won it with three different partners. He first claimed victory with John Broncato in 2003 and then again Tom Brunz in 2011.

This was Carr’s first time participating in the event.

“It’s wonderful, but more importantly, great to do it with friend,” Meravy said.

The field seemed split on fishing techniques — some opting for hand lining with a slight majority favoring jigging.

With the water being so clear for the duration of the weekend, Carr and Moray relied upon quarter ounce to 3/8-ounce jigs with 3-inch slender soft translucent plastic trailers sprayed with “Berkley Gulp!

With a mixture of a tough conference and non-conference schedule, Lovgren believes his team’s good attitude and ability to work hard and to grow through the growing pains of their youth will be the team’s strengths.

“We have more than one person to play a position,” Lovgren said of his team that also includes freshmen Nick Bennett, Casey Rogers, Austin Lundquist and sophomore Brady DeBruhl.

This year Cabela’s MWC tournaments are also designated as state championship events, so Meravy and Carr were also awarded the Illinois state title for walleye fishing.

With this event being only the second event on a 13-tournament schedule, coupled with a format change to how state champions are crowned, Meravy and Carr could be the first team in history to claim multiple state titles in one season.

Scott Geitgey of Canton, Ohio, and Jay Gullet of Willard, Ohio, claimed second prize with a total weight of 29 pounds and 2 ounces, while Health Bohman of Wiscon-

sin Rapids, Wis. and Gordy Powers of Rockford, Minn., rounded out the Top 3 with a total weight of 27 pounds and 9 ounce.

A total pot of $68,150 in cash and prizes was awarded in this year’s event.

“Go out and fish the Illinois River.

It’s fun,” Moray said.

“Great fishing,” Carr added.

The next event on the MWC season will be held April 17-18 on Lake St. Clair/Detroit River in St Clair Shores, Mich.

• Notes: Another event is on tap for March 28-29 with the inaugural Illinois River Classic, hosted by the Spring Valley Walleye Club.

2015 LaMoille/Ohio softball preview

Bobee takes over L/O softball

By Holli Rapp sports@bcrnews.com

LAMOILLE — The LaMoille-Ohio Lady Lions softball team will return a mixture of experience and youth for the 2015 season under first-year head coach Dave Bobee.

Bobee, a special education teacher at LaMoille taking over for Angie Augspols, was greeted with senior staples Ragen Forbes, Toni Lawrence, Amanda Chasteen and Paige Koskosky for their last year of high school softball.

Forbes has been a fixture in the pitching circle for the last three years and will look to continue along with playing shortshop when not in the circle. Adding depth in the pitching circle for the Lady Lions will be junior Rae Schultz, and Ohio teammates sophomore Riley Johnson and freshmen Maddi Deery.

Lawrence will once again have the responsibility of catching for L/O. Bobee’s squad will look for the youth of freshmen newcomers Karli

“All of our players will be competing for starting spots. We believe competition will bring the best out of us all.”

Dave Bobee • L/O softball coach Forbes (SS/2B/OF), Cara Motter (2B/OF), Melanie Chasteen (3B/OF), Deery (P/3B) and sophomores Abri Powers (1B/ OF), Alana Cherry (2B), and Johnson (P/SS) to add some depth for his 12-person roster who graduated Myrah Graham and Lindsey Perry.

“All of our players will be competing for starting spots. We believe competition will bring the best out of us all,” Bobee said.

“We want to continue to learn and work hard to make the team successful. We are a hardworking and dedicated for success type of team. We have set goals and are working really hard to achieve those goals.”

Bobee believes his squad will be competitive at every aspect of the game and that every game will be a tough and competi-

tive game. In addition to a tough non-conference schedule with a match-up on March 19, with Oregon and then a matchup with Amboy, the Lady Lions will also face AFC, Bureau Valley and Henry throughout the course of the season along with a home and away conference schedule.

“Every team in our conference will be tough,” Bobee said. “As many times we play each team in our conference will be a learning and adjustment for each time we play. It will build good camaraderie during the season.”

“All teams will be tough. We can’t take any team lightly because that is when you underestimate your opponent and they can take advantage,” Bobee said.
