20/20 vision PES’ Tim Smith explains the Vision 20/20 initiative

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Many are becoming more aware of the new public education initiative, Vision 20/20, which addresses current issues and inefficiencies many school districts around the state are facing today.

Princeton Elementary School District Superintendent Tim Smith gave a presentation at the Prouty Building on Thursday, April 2, about what the initiative is pushing for and the priorities that come along with it.

While supporters of Vision 20/20 reject the premise that education in Illinois has failed, they recognize its impact has not been equitably delivered to all student populations, and there are opportunities for continuous improvement.

Vision 20/20 is broken down into four pillars — each pinpointing priorities addressing the needed improvement for better public education. The pillars include:

How safe is BV South?

‘Buda has issues. There’s no doubt about it’

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

BUDA — A lot of heat has recently been place on the Bureau Valley South building in Buda.

Last month during

a special meeting, the Bureau Valley School Board released information from a facilities study conducted by the Farnsworth Group of Peoria.

From the study, it was discovered a fire hazard laid within Buda’s east

How old is the building?

• Buda’s west tower was built in 1919.

• Buda’s east tower was built in 1921.

• Buda’s gymnasium, cafeteria and art section was built in 1956.

• Buda’s newest science classroom was built in 1975.

• Buda’s music room was remodeled in 1995. towers. The hazard relates to the return air heating

system utilized in the open stairwell and com-

mons hallways.

Directly from the study, it states: “With this current configuration, if a fire were to break out in a particular classroom, the smoke from that fire would be drawn into the adjacent hallway and throughout the stairwell of the tower, making it difficult for all the occupants

Highly-effective educators Priorities stated under this pillar include: Recruit and retain high-impact educators and provide relevant professional development.

Smith said Illinois, right now, is very restrictive in who can teach in the classroom.

“The Teacher of the Year in Indiana very likely would not be able to teach in Illinois because of the restrictive licensure that’s in place,” he said.

The restrictions stem back to when No Child Left Behind was implemented and changed the licensure requirements for teachers.

This has made it difficult in finding teachers who have the right licensure or all requirements needed to teach in the classroom.

“Smaller school district teachers have to be trained in all areas they teach, so

Driving distracted: A driving disaster April is the National Distracted Driving Awareness Month

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

With April being Distracted Driving Month, Bureau County Sheriff Jim Reed warned drivers to stay attentive on the

roads.

“You have to be in control of that vehicle at all times,” said Reed. “It’s not only your life your endangering but everyone else’s.”

According to a study conducted by the Nation

Highway Traffic Safety Administration, texting while driving is six times more dangerous than drunk driving. Texting drivers are also 23 times more likely to be involved in an accident than drivers who are not texting.

While texting and driving is dangerous, said Reed, distracted driving is not limited to phone

use. He explained that distracted driving could mean anything, including someone fiddling with the radio too much or someone distracted by their children in the back seat of their vehicle.

The statute is called “Failure to exercise due care,” said Reed. Even before cell phone usage while driving was speci-

fied as illegal, it was still against the law to text and drive under this statute.

“I mean the main focus is you have to pay attention while driving, “ said Reed.

The Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White is reminding drivers to travel safely and avoid

ATTENTION

CORN FARMERS When China banned all U.S. corn imports, causing an excess of corn in the U.S. market, the price of corn fell drastically. It is alleged that the resulting damages to the US corn industry from Syngenta placing MIR 162 into the market prior to obtaining export is in excess of 2 Billion dollars.

Whether or not you planted Syngenta corn, you may have a claim for damages.

BV South located in Buda is in violation of numerous safety and code violations, according to a recent facilities study conducted by Farnsworth Group of Peoria. The study found a fire hazard in the heating system used in the east tower. Since the study has been released, school administrators have taken steps to ensure the safety of students.

BVS From Page 1 in the building to escape without being exposed to a dangerous amount of smoke.”

Since this information has become public, the school administration has taken steps to address the safety and code violations found in the building.

Bureau Valley Assistant Superintendent Gavin Sronce, who oversees building and maintenance issues within the district, recently sat down to talk about the steps being taken.

“Buda has issues.

There’s no doubt about it, and that’s one of the reason we’re in the middle of this study,” he said.

Since the code violation was pointed out, the school has stopped running its furnace during school hours. With the furnace not running, it eliminates the fire hazard, according to Sronce.

The next step taken was installing a new fire system, which includes sensors being placed around

Driving From Page 1 distracted driving.

“As travel increases with the warming weather, I encourage everyone to put away their cell phones while they are behind the wheel and focus on the task at hand: Driving safely,” said White. “Studies show that distracted driving contributes significantly to otherwise preventable fatal crashes.”

areas of the building, so if a smoke or fire detector goes off it will send a signal to the furnace and immediately shut it down.

The other new feature added to Buda will immediately send a call to the fire department if the fire alarm is activated.

The new safety updates are costing thousands of dollars, but Sronce said it’s worth it to make it safe for students.

“I want to be able to look every parent in the eye and say, ‘Yes your child is absolutely safe at school,’” he said.

With warmer days in the forecast, the furnace won’t have to be in use.

However, Sronce said the board has big decisions to make before the next cold weather comes blowing in.

When it comes down to it, Sronce said the school is going to have to install a new heating system.

That was the advice given by Entec of Peoria, a company the district signed a maintenance contract with at its last board meeting.

Entec will provide

inspections to the district buildings to ensure systems are running smoothly. The district is paying $6,896 this year to Entec, just to keep up with inspections in Buda.

“We’re adding safety measures to ensure our safety,” Sronce said.

“Moving forward, however, is going to require some pretty serious measures. A new heating system is the only way to get around violating Page 17 on that study.”

Sronce said the current heating system cannot be adjusted or rerouted.

The trap door that sucks air into the staircase cannot be closed off because it relies on the air being sucked in to keep it running.

“We will have all fire safeties in place, but what are we going to do moving forward?” Sronce questioned. “It’s a tough question for the board. They care a lot about this … but it’s not going to be easy because everything costs money. And it’s about how they want to spent it.”

Cell phones have become a major aspect of everyone’s lives nowadays, said Reed, adding texting while driving is not simply a concern for teenagers.

“It’s everybody,” he said emphatically However, Reed encouraged parents to educate their young drivers on safe travel habits. He reminded all drivers that a major point of roadway responsibility is the fact that drivers are responsible for the lives of everyone around them

as much as their own.

“How bad are you going to feel when you survive the accident, but you run over someone’s kid?” asked Reed.

Jan. 1, 2014, the state law banning hand-held phone usage while driving took effect. In the law’s first year, more than 37,000 drivers were convicted for texting, talking or dialing on their hand-held devices.

Vision 20/20 From Page 1 they meet highly-qualified status, or they have to hire more people to do the job,” Smith said.

Also, Smith said the professional development required for teachers these days is so much that many schools are having a hard time keeping up with what’s required.

“We’re saying we need to break these walls down,” he said. “We need to decide what’s really pertinent and what’s really necessary.”

21st Century learning One of the priorities in this pillar is to develop the whole child. Smith explained there is such an emphasis put on state testing today, which only tests in the English and math subjects.

Because of this emphasis, teachers put a lot of focus on those subject areas, and there is not enough emphasis on other subjects such as science, social sciences and the arts.

“We believe we are not doing a good enough job educating the whole child because we’re so panicked about state tests and the accountability it comes with it,” he said.

Another priority is to preserve instructional time.

“Right now, kids are pulled out of class to do state testings as much as they do,” Smith said.

“We’re too consumed with it that we are taking away from valuable instructional time.”

Another priority is to link students to colleges

Bureau County Republican • bcrnews.com

and careers.

“We want to be a realist. We know there are some students who are not going to go to college and shouldn’t be pushed to college,” Smith said.

He said schools need to do a better job meeting the need of students who are not going to college right out of high school.

“We need to say, ‘it’s OK if you want to go to vocational school, or wait to go to college and figure out what you want to do first,’” he said.

Another priority in this pillar is to expand equity in technology access.

While many instruction and testing is now going online, Smith said it needs to be reassured that small school districts have the Internet support needed to carry out online instruction. Right now, some schools are still using dial-up Internet, which is highly inefficient with all students needing to connect to the Internet at the same time during a class period.

Shared accountability The first priority under this pillar is to expand educators’ roles and responsibility in state governance.

“One of the biggest problems we face is there are no practitioners that serve on Illinois State Board of Education,” Smith said.

He pointed out these seats, along with the state superintendent of schools, are appointed by the governor.

Smith said the problem with this is most of these appointed people are not in the classroom or never have been.

He explained there needs to be people in these

seats who understand the impact of the mandates and laws being passed.

Another priority under this pillar refers to restructuring mandates.

Many mandates coming from Springfield today are expensive and are unfunded, he said.

Equitable and adequate funding The first priority under this pillar includes funding education based on local need.

“We need to have an independent advisory board and evaluate what the priorities are and what it’s going to cost to get there,” he said. “Locally we need to make the decisions.”

The next priority is to stabilize state funding for education.

One problem many schools are facing today is not having an idea what kind of funding will be coming to them in the next year. Right now, the state is only paying 89 percent of what it owes to schools.

Not knowing what’s coming from the state each year makes it difficult to make a steady and accurate budget for the next school year.

“It’s difficult to know what we going to have available for the next year,” Smith said.

The final priory is to enhance district flexibility to increase financial efficiency. This would help school districts better forecast their budget for the next year. Knowing what the school will get from the state will allow districts to better plan their budgets and make better decisions for the district.

Bureau County ZBA Hearing Postponed

The Bureau County Zoning Board of Appeals recently postponed the application of Walnut Ridge Wind, LLC (“WRW”) to install 123 industrial wind turbine and two electrical collector substations throughout approximately 14,500 acres in Bureau County. Attorney Rick Porter of Hinshaw and Culbertson represents dozens of people who own homes, farmland, and real property in the vicinity of the proposed industrial turbines and are concerned about the negative affects on the community from noise, shadow flicker, blinking lights, property value loss and other impacts of turbines. Those same people and attorneys have filed a federal complaint alleging that WRW and it affiliates failed to comply with requirements to study the environmental impacts of the proposed project.

On March 09, 2015, Attorney Porter requested that the Bureau County ZBA postpone its hearings until after the federal judge hears a motion on May 07, 2015 to preliminarily enjoin the proposed project. After a heated debate where the transcripts of the federal court were read into the record, the ZBA voted to postpone the public hearings on the proposed turbines until after the federal court hearing on the preliminary injunction. The next ZBA hearing is now set for May 11, 2015.

District 17 troopers want safe roads for proms and graduations LASALLE — Prom and graduation season is upon us.

Area high school students will soon participate in prom and graduation celebrations that occur not only at school but also at private locations.

Alcohol and drug use may occur during celebrations at private locations both before and after the school sponsored celebrations.

On prom and graduation nights, six out of 10 high school students feel pressure to drink or use drugs. More than eight in 10 teens say students who drink or use drugs at prom will likely get behind the wheel and drive.

Car crashes kill more teens during the weekends of prom and graduation season than any other time of year.

Illinois State Police District 17 troop-

ers will do their part to make this a safe prom and graduation season for everyone.

District 17 troopers will conduct directed patrols with aggressive enforcement of distracted driving laws and enforcement of the fatal four (DUI, speeding, seat belt and distracted driving).

“Our goal is to modify teen driving behaviors which include distractions, carelessness, fatigue and inexperience.

These behaviors, when combined with drugs or alcohol, can be lethal,” said District 17 Lt. Jon Dively.

In addition to the directed patrols, seat belt enforcement zones will also be conducted. The goal of these concentrated efforts is voluntary compliance.

ISP announces results of ACE patrol LASALLE — Lt. Jon Dively, District 17 commander, announced the results of an Alcohol Countermeasure Enforcement (ACE) patrol, which was conducted on Friday, March 27.

Violations included one arrest for driving under the influence; one arrest for drug/alcohol-related; two arrests for suspended driver’s license, and nine

citations and 17 warnings for speeding.

There were 19 total citations issued and 42 written warnings given.

The ISP reminds those who drink and drive that future patrols will be conducted. The ISP will continue to work to save lives by taking DUI offenders off the road, arresting them and locking them up.

ISP release results of nighttime enforcement patrols LASALLE — The Illinois State Police (ISP) announced the results of Nighttime Enforcement Patrols (NITE) held during the evening hours on Saturday, March 21, through Sunday, March 22, and Saturday March 28, through Sunday, March 29.

From the editor’s desk I hope each and everyone of you had a wonderful Easter holiday. We sure couldn’t complain about the weather. My grandfather used to say if it rained on Easter, they we’d have seven more Sundays of rain.

Since there was no rain in my neck of the woods on Sunday, I’m hoping his words ring true.

It was fun to see all the children at the various Easter egg hunts held throughout the county.

While we couldn’t attend each one, we did manage to get to quite a few of them.

A big hats off to all the organizations that host these events. I know it takes considerable time, energy and money to pull off an Easter egg hunt for so many children, but please know you helped create many, Terri Simon many smiles. On behalf of the Bureau County Republican, thanks for your efforts.

As I was driving into Princeton Sunday morning to pick up my mom to help us celebrate Easter dinner, I couldn’t help but think of children who woke up Easter morning to find the Easter bunny had left them surprises. Adversely, I also thought about the children who would wake up to nothing ... Please keep those young people in your thoughts and prayers as you celebrate all holidays.

••• Just a reminder: Today, Tuesday, is Election Day. I hope you’ll head to the polls to make your voice heard. Apparently, this must be a day of grandparent quotes because my grandmother used to say, “If you don’t vote, you don’t have a right to complain.”

Please make sure you are an informed voter. I’ve called candidates to ask them how they feel about certain subjects/topics/ideas. That just makes good sense. It’s a lot easier to mark your ballot when you are informed.

It’s been an interesting campaign/election this year.

I’ve seen a lot of behind-the-scenes work. I applaud everyone for throwing their hats into the ring, and on behalf of the Bureau County Republican, I wish everyone the best.

You’ll want to check out the BCR’s website — www. bcrnews.com — for all your election information/ returns. Of course, we’ll also have stories in Thursday’s edition of the BCR. ••• We have wrapped up our Dear Soldier letter writing campaign. If you are hosting a Dear Soldier box, someone will be around to pick it up soon. We’ll be publishing a story in the near future to let you know how many letters and drawings we collected — which will all be forwarded to Operation Gratitude. That organization will in turn forward your letters/drawings to U.S. military personnel and veterans, both stateside and abroad. Thank you so much for your participation. No doubt your efforts will bring a smile to many, many military personnel.

••• Spring is definitely showing its face in Bureau County. Baby calves are dotting the hillsides; tulips are popping through the dirt; the tiniest of leaves are forming on the tree branches ... I could go on and on. I hope you’ll take the time to enjoy these beautiful signs of the season. It’s a busy time. Take time for you, and remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

My 10 pounds of flour Have you ever heard the expression, “Putting 10 pounds of flour in a 5-pound sack?” It is a versatile expression and available for many occasions.

My mom used that expression frequently as I was growing up. She used it to describe packing a suitcase, putting food away in her refrigerator, and describing, not necessarily in a flattering fashion, the too tight clothing worn by someone she passed by. Now and then, the “flour” in the expression got changed to a different, odorous, substance. That only happened in extreme situations and only when I heard but wasn’t supposed to be hearing what she was saying.

Anyway, I think of this expression as a try to organize and figure out where to put everything in my small house.

I am, on a frequent basis, a furniture mover. I always think there is some way to move things around in my house to provide more space, more function, more of something. If I move this table here and this chair here, it will give me more space.

This furniture moving is caused by my overabundance of some items.

One of the most predominant of those items is chairs — not overstuffed chairs, but dining chairs. I currently have in my possession, 14 chairs that would be considered dining chairs.

These chairs go along with the three dining tables that are currently living at my house.

Only one of these tables and four of the chairs were actually purchased by me. The other tables and chairs were acquired through family members.

There are chairs and a table that have sentimental value and are difficult to do anything with other than keep and

Nita Wyatt COMMENTARY

cherish. One table and its chairs are on loan, and mostly I am providing storage.

But, whatever the reason, I have an abundance of chairs and tables. These contribute to my need to move furniture around and try to alleviate my 10 pounds of stuff.

Of course, some of my “stuff” was not acquired because of family members. Most, I have to say, was obtained because I like it. There are the two antique trunks I probably don’t need, but I do like very much. I justify their status by filling them with 10 pounds of things that I can’t find space for elsewhere. A vicious circle I know, but it helps me come to terms with my liking of the trunks.

There is my recent acquisition of a 1950s/1960s metal typewriter stand. Some of you may remember what I am talking about. It is metal, greenish gray, and has extensions on each side that fold down. I was in an antique mall, and I just couldn’t resist.

It brought back memories of high school typing class and also of my first part-time job during college. As I sit writing this column on my laptop, I look at that table and think about the technology changes since I learned to type on a manual typewriter at a table just like this one.

Frankly, when I purchased the typewriter stand and intended to use it as a sidetable, I was well aware I didn’t

need another sidetable. I have plenty of those too, helping to contribute to that 10 pounds of miscellaneous trying to fit into my small house. But, the typewriter stand does, I believe, look great next to the chair in my living room. If I could just find a small, antique typewriter to put on top, it would be perfect. See, I can’t stop myself.

Oh, I forgot to mention my 10 pounds also includes some collections. These collections include refrigerator dishes, glass lemon or orange juice squeezers and Boyd’s Bears. My 2-year-old grandson calls the bears “My Babies.” He says there are more and more babies everywhere. Sad but true. The refrigerator dishes are those glass dishes with lids and in various sizes that were the precursors to plastic containers to use in the refrigerator. I love them, and they are in many prominent spots around my house.

No folks, I am not a hoarder. I don’t have piles of paper and trash around my house. My husband says I throw the newspapers away before he is finished reading them. I have an abundance of favorite things and probably too much furniture. My 10 pounds trying to fit in my 5-pound house isn’t the garbage variety. It’s of the admiration variety. There are many things that I admire ,and I can’t seem to stop myself from adding more interesting things to cherish.

One thing I do believe, if I just move that table and those chairs to a different location, I will have more space and it will look better. Then the 10 pounds will only look like 7 pounds, and it will be great. I just know it.

TO Letter THE Editor

Political games To the Editor, We are about to enter a period of idiocy where politicians will comment about something they know very little about – diplomacy. Not wishing to give the current administration credit for anything worthwhile, we will hear political parrots telling us that the Iran nuclear agreement is not good.

Of course, short of another Middle East war, none will give us their alterna-

tive because they have none. I will quote their most revered idol, Ronald Reagan, who after finalizing agreements with the USSR, made the statement “Trust but verify.” Verification is in the current agreement.

Ronald Wood Malden

Why do you like Illinois?

To the Editor, I am writing to you for a class proj-

ect on the novel “The Watsons Go to Birmingham.” My classmates and I are contacting newspapers across the country in a state that we wish to learn more about. I wish to learn more about Illinois because I’ve only been there to visit my cousin who lives in Chicago, and I know very little about the state in general.

I am writing to ask readers to please write back and tell me why they like Illinois, interesting facts about the state and what visitors can do there. They can write to my school’s address: Queen

of Peace Catholic School, 4508 Vistula Road, Mishawaka, IN 46544. If you could also include a copy of the newspaper in which you saw my letter, it would be greatly appreciated. If you have questions, please contact my teacher’s email at aweisser@queenofpeace.cc or you may contact her by phone at 574-2550392, ext. 123.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Fundraiser planned — Bureau Valley High School will host a Quarter Mania fundraising event on April 21. See Page 8.

Sam Baker will perform at Princeton Coffeehouse PRINCETON — Texas singer-songwriter Sam Baker returns to perform at the Princeton Coffeehouse at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 11.

The Coffeehouse is located at Open Prairie United Church of Christ, 25 E. Marion St. in Princeton. Doors open at 7 p.m.

Baker’s sparse instrumentation and poetic delivery — whether in recordings or in live performance — have been lauded by critics. He has released four albums since 2004.

His latest album, “Say Grace,” was listed by Rolling Stone as one of the top 10 country releases of 2013.

Marc Eisen of the Daily Page has written of Baker that “His songs are closely observed narratives of eccentric and marginalized people finding meaning in seemingly defeated lives — almost like Leonard Cohen’s, if Cohen had been a Baptist raised in West Texas.” Comparisons to John Prine also abound. In 2013, the critical acclaim Baker was receiving led to an interview on “Fresh Air,” the National Public Radio show hosted

by Terry Gross.

Baker has an astonishing back story. In 1986, he was on a train to Machu Picchu, when a Shining Path guerrilla’s bomb exploded, killing nearby passengers and seriously

Sam Baker injuring him. After an eight-hour emergency surgery and 17 subsequent reconstructive surgeries, he was able to re-learn the guitar and put his life back together. The existential themes of many of his songs are, in part, a result of this experience.

Bureau Valley VisionCare is the

sponsor of the Sam Baker show.

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.

Rummage sale to benefit annual art scholarship Donations needed PRINCETON — The Prairie Arts Council is seeking donations for its 13th annual rummage and bake sale.

Since 2012, the proceeds from this sale have been used to benefit the annual $1,000 art scholarship program which is awarded in May. All graduating high school seniors, or the equivalent if home-schooled, who reside in Bureau County and who will be attending college as an art major or minor in the fall of 2015, are invited to apply.

The rummage sale will be held on the lawn of the Prairie Arts Center, 24 Park Ave. East in Princeton, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April

25. Donations for the rummage sale will be accepted at the Prairie Arts Center after Friday, April 10, during open hours on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to noon and Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m.

The rummage sale was initially started in 1998 by Deb PuetzYoung who had an idea that this was intended to be an “art rummage” sale; similar to the concept of The Friends of the Library used book sale held each year for the Princeton Public Library.

The art rummage sale was based on the idea that everyone has a retired piece of art that has been shoved in a closet or basement somewhere in their home without a place to hang or display it. The

person donating the piece of art or art related item could do so knowing that whoever purchased it at the Prairie Arts rummage sale, could buy it at a low price and have a piece of art to enjoy that normally they could not afford to buy anywhere else.

Other items accepted for the rummage sale include household items, decorations and typical rummage sale items. Other art-related considerations would be paintings, prints, 3-dimensional art, picture frames, art and craft supplies. No clothing will be accepted.

All donations to the Prairie Arts Council are tax deductible.

For more information, call Deb Young at 815-875-2787 or visit www. theprairieartscouncil.org.

More than 30 local businesses contribute to the success of the evening event. “We hoped initially to get 20 different businesses to attend, but we are at 30 today, and it just keeps growing,” said Tori Boyle, Renaissance sponsor. “There are so many small business owners and home-business owners who want to get their name and products out there, in front of people.

This is just another way for them to do that, and to connect with people in the community,” she added.

Each vendor brings two items for the auction, and can also bring other items to display or sell at the event. Attendees shop the vendor booths for the first hour and the auction starts at 6:30 p.m.

Tigresses settle for split at Fulton

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

FULTON — The Princeton and Fulton softball teams took turns punching each other Saturday, one blow after another. When it was all said and done, the fight was ruled a split decision.

Princeton captured the first game of the doubleheader, 12-11, on Abby Jaques’ leadoff homer in the top of the seventh inning. The host Steamers got even in the nightcap with Faith Kennedy’s walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh for a 6-5 win.

PHS coach Bob James said it was a shame the Tigresses couldn’t capitalize on the great pitching effort of junior Alisa Holmbeck in Game 2 to convert the sweep.

“She (Holmbeck) changed speeds, located, did things well, kept them off-balanced. We had ‘em,” he said.

“Of the six runs, I don’t know how many were earned. I know they all weren’t. It’s unfortunate that indecisiveness cost you. Because when you’re indecisive, you lack the

“Definitely a bad taste in your mouth after losing that second game.”

Bob James • PHS coach fundamentals of proper throwing mechanics. Got us right there.

“Definitely a bad taste in your mouth after losing that second game.”

The Tigresses plated five runs in the top of the first inning only to have the Steamers match that in the home half to tie the score at 5-5.

Madi Cain followed walks to Courtney Oeder and Holmbeck in the second inning, with a threerun shot over the left-field fence to regain an 8-5 PHS. Jaques stroked an RBI double to put the Tigresses ahead 9-5 in the fifth inning. The Steamers, however, plated five runs in the bottom of the

fifth to take an 11-9 lead.

Julia Bauer tied the game at 11 with a two-run double in the sixth, her third two-bagger of the game.

Jaques, who was batting out of the leadoff hole, dialed long ball to put the Tigresses back on top. James said it was nice to have Jaques’ big bat back in the lineup, having missed three games on vacation. She collected three hits in each game.

“She adds a lot of positives to us with her ability and athleticism. Lot of pluses there. We just need to keep focused on being one big team,” James said.

The Steamers made things interesting, going down to their last batter, who sent a long deep fly to left field. PHS’ Oeder used all of her 6-1 frame to haul in the catch at the fence.

“Lot of people said if it wouldn’t have been for her height, it would have been gone,” James said.

PHS starter Madison Menzel went the distance for the win.

FULTON — The Princeton Tigers and Fulton Steamers didn’t figure they could go undefeated throughout the 2015 baseball season. On Saturday, they took care of one another’s undefeated status.

The Steamers knocked the Tigers off 13-7 in the opener, handing the Tigers their first defeat of the season. Princeton (7-1) returned the favor in the nightcap, defeating the Steamers 3-2, which was also their first defeat in seven games.

PHS junior Jake Reinhardt said it was big win for the Tigers to respond the way they did after their opening loss.

“I thought when we showed up we weren’t

ready to play at all and that showed by us throwing the ball all over the place in the field. Getting the first loss out of the way I think gave us that bad taste and proved to us that we actually have to work hard to win, it’s not going to be given to us with any team we play,” he said.

“Getting back on track the second game was what I and the team were focused on after the loss though and getting back on the winning side and handing Fulton their first loss was a great end to the day.”

Princeton made a good run in Game 1, battling back from a 5-2 deficit to take a 7-5 lead on a threerun triple by Jett Wedekind in the top of the fifth inning.

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — The Orion Chargers had the numbers of both the Bureau Valley Storm softball and baseball squads Friday, April 3, who each gave up big innings that proved to be the difference as the boys fell 15-10 while the girls dropped their game 7-3.

The Storm softball team put itself in a position late to steal a victory as they trailed 1-0 going into the sixth inning.

Junior center-fielder Sydney Kolb blazed a double to center

field to score freshman catcher Laura Phillips and senior starting pitcher Irini Petros to secure a 2-1 lead heading into the seventh.

The Chargers firmly took command in the top of the seventh, scoring six runs on five hits.

“It kind of got away from us there in the top of the seventh.

They swung the bats well and took advantage of their opportunities. I really liked the way our defense played and we hung in there, but we gave up a few too many walks and hits,” BV coach Brian Humphrey said.

Kolb used her only hit of the day in the right spot, going 1-3 with a double and 2 RBIs while senior second baseman Ashley Phillips was 3-4 with two doubles.

Petros went the distance, giving up 11 hits while striking out two.

“We went out and played much better than our last outing, and if we play like that without giving up that big inning, we’ll win a lot of softball games,” Humphrey said.

Princeton’s Jake Reinhardt slides safely into third base at Fulton Saturday. He quickly got on his feet on an overthrow and scored. He had two hits in both games with the Tigers gaining a split with the Steamers.

Baseball From Page 9 The lead proved short-lived as the Steamers put up a five spot in the home half of the fifth, including a three-run round-tripper down the left field line.

In the nightcap, both teams scored two

runs in the first inning. The Tigers picked up another run in the second and starting pitcher Isaac Salazar made it stand up with a complete-game, two-hit victory.

Diamond roundup

Hall sweeps Serena

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Saturday was a good day for area baseball and softball teams to play two, especially for the Hall Red Devils and Lady Devils, who won two.

Baseball Hall 10-21, Serena 2-1: The Red Devils brought their hitting shoes with them to Serena, shellacking the Huskers 10-2 and 21-1.

In the first game, Hall collected nine hits, topped

by Tyler Taber (2-3), A.J. Gaeta (2-4, 2 RBIs) and Adam Sangston (2-3, RBI).

Winning pitcher Rybarczyk added two RBIs. The hits never stopped in game 2, with Gaeta going 4-5 with two RBIs. Other top batsmen were Sangston (2-4, RBI), Jake Merkel (2-4, 3 RBIs), Brant Vanaman (3-4, 3 RBIs), Cam McDonald (2-4, RBI) and Ty Rybarczyk (2-2, RBI). Zach Vanderpool was the winning pitcher.

St. Bede 7-3, Sherrard

3-6: The Bruins scored four runs to post a 7-3 win, including a two-run hit by Brady Booker. Sam Halm and winning pitcher Jarret Olson (10 strikeouts) each had two hits.

Jack Brady had two hits and a RBI in a 6-3 Game 2 loss.

Softball Hall 7-11, Serena 4-1: The Lady Devils finished off a long week with games on the road with a Saturday sweep, winning 7-4 and 11-1.

“To finish the week 3-3 is a good week. We’ll continue to get better and hope for more good things to come,” Hall coach Brian Holman said.

Winning pitcher Adrianna Pikula and Abbey Azarskis each drove in two runs. Pikula went the distance, scattering four hits and three walks while fanning 10.

“It was a good win against a great pitcher from Serena. Jaclyn Thompson throws hard, and we did a really nice job of executing

our game plan,” Holman said, noting Thompson is a Parkland College recruit.

“Adrianna was really good on the mound and it was nice to see her get a win.”

In the nightcap, Pikula went 3-3 with 3 RBIs, and Rena Barroso had two hits and Herrmann two RBIs. Heidi Nielsen scattered five hits for her first win of the year.

St. Bede 5-2, Sherrard 3-12: Saturday’s first game at Sherrard was a good one for the Lady Bruins, who posted a 5-3 win behind winning pitcher Brianna Lau. While she did not strike out one batter, Lau scattered six hits and two walks for the win.

Brooke Tonozzi and Gabbie Morrow each knocked out two hits with a RBI. Game 2 was not as nice for the Lady Bruins, who fell victim to a 12-2 loss.

Julia Pohar had a RBI double and Maty Nowakowski, Lau, Tristin Phegley and Bailey Zmudka each added singles.

Bureau Valley senior Josh Mead gets his rips for the Storm in Friday’s action at Manlius vs. Orion. The Storm are back in action Thursday at Princeton.

Storm From Page 9 The baseball squad gave up a huge inning of its own early after recording the first two outs of the game. Senior Gage Smith gave up an 0-1 single to Drake Shultz that snowballed into eight, two-out runs scored in the inning by the Chargers that would take the wind out of any team’s sails.

“We’ve got to make a decision as a team because we can’t let that happen anymore. We have to change things up.

I challenged them to come out and cut the lead in half during our at bat and they did. We just can’t afford to make any more mental mistakes. We need to turn this program around and get it headed in the right direction,” BV coach Dave Shepard said.

After Shepard’s challenge, the Storm scored four runs on three hits including RBI singles by both senior first baseman Dylan Martin and second baseman Chris Shynk to make the score 8-4.

Orion added another run in the third but exploded again in the fourth inning as they managed to score five runs on only two hits. They opened the game back up en route to a 15-10 victory.

“We make one mistake and it compounds itself, and confidence breeds confidence, so when they start lacking confidence, we just seem to make mistakes that we shouldn’t be making.”

Dave Shepard • BV coach “I just think it’s a confidence problem,” Shepard said. “We make one mistake and it compounds itself, and confidence breeds confidence, so when they start lacking confidence, we just seem to make mistakes that we shouldn’t be making.”

Martin was tops for the Storm going 3-4 with 2 RBIs while Shynk and senior third baseman Drew Fordham each added a single and a double going 2-for-4 with one RBI each.

The Storm will be back in action Thursday, April 9, as both squads travel to Princeton for 4:30 p.m. matchups.

If You Were Exposed to, or Harmed by, ASBESTOS or ASBESTOS-CONTAINING Products Made, Distributed or Sold by THE FLINTKOTE COMPANY or FLINTKOTE MINES LIMITED, Please read this Notice of Voting Rights and Hearing to consider whether to approve Reorganization.

TYPES OF PRODUCTS During the 1930s to the 1980s, products sold by The Flintkote Company and Flintkote Mines Limited (the “Debtors”) may have contained asbestos. These products could have included floor tile, roofing shingles, joint compound, cement pipe, asphalt and other products.

Persons or entities exposed to, or harmed by, the Debtors’ asbestos or asbestos-containing products may have personal injury, wrongful death or other claims against the Debtors.

You do not need to (i) have been diagnosed, (ii) have symptoms, or (iii) be impaired to be affected by the Plan.

If you believe you may have been exposed to, or harmed by the Debtors’ products, you may be entitled to vote on the terms of the Reorganization. You should carefully read this notice and the important documents located at http://www.flintkotebankruptcy.com.

PLAN OF REORGANIZATION The Debtors have filed for bankruptcy.

On February 9, 2015, the Debtors filed a modified Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Plan includes the terms of a settlement reached between the Debtors and their former indirect parent company, Imperial Tobacco Canada Limited (“ITCAN”).

The Plan has been jointly proposed by the Debtors, the Asbestos Claimants Committee and the Future Claimants Representative (collectively, the “Plan Proponents”). As background, the Plan is a modified version of a bankruptcy plan on which Debtors previously solicited votes in 2008 and 2009, and which was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on December 21, 2012 (the “Original Plan”).

A document describing the Plan’s changes (the “Disclosure Supplement”), which the Bankruptcy Court approved on March 17, 2015, and a copy of the Plan itself and voting materials (a “Resolicitation Package”), has been mailed to known holders of claims against the Debtors or their lawyers.

THE TRUST The Plan provides for a trust to be established to pay eligible asbestos personal injury claims against the Debtors (the “Trust”). The Plan states that all current and future holders of asbestos personal injury claims will be forever prohibited from asserting claims directly against the Debtors and other parties protected under the Plan, including ITCAN. Such persons can receive money only from the Trust. The Plan and the Disclosure Supplement have important additional details and are available at http://www.flintkotebankruptcy.com.

SUPPLEMENTAL SETTLEMENT BAR ORDER Under the Plan, ITCAN will also obtain

protection from certain claims by a settlement bar order, which is described more particularly in the Plan and Disclosure Supplement.

VOTING PROCEDURES The Bankruptcy Court has issued an order describing who can vote on the Plan, how to vote, and how votes will be counted. The Disclosure Supplement has information that will help you decide whether and how to vote on the Plan if you are entitled to do so. Votes cast on the Original Plan will be counted as votes on the Plan, unless a holder changes such vote. If you voted on the Original Plan and do not wish to change your vote, you do not need to submit a ballot. If you did not vote on the Original Plan, you may obtain and cast a ballot, which would be subject to the Plan Proponents’ right to object. To be counted, a completed ballot must be received by the Voting Agent at the address below by 4:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern time) on June 2, 2015. Any ballot received after that deadline will not be counted.

Proof of an asbestos personal injury or wrongful death claim does not need to be filed with the Bankruptcy Court. Special procedures have been established for holders of asbestos personal injury and wrongful death claims to vote on the Plan. Lawyers for holders of these claims may vote on the Plan on behalf of their clients if authorized by their client.

If you are unsure whether your lawyer is authorized to vote on your behalf, please contact your lawyer.

THE HEARING TO CONFIRM THE PLAN A hearing to confirm the Plan will be held before the Honorable Mary F. Walrath, United States Bankruptcy Judge, at the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, 824 Market Street, 5th Floor, Wilmington, Delaware 19801, commencing on August 10, 2015 at 10:30 a.m. (prevailing Eastern time).

You may attend the hearing but are not required to do so.

OBJECTING TO THE PLAN Objections to the Plan are limited to changes between the Original Plan and the Plan and must be submitted in writing and received by July 8, 2015 to be considered. All objections must comply with the requirements in the notice of the Confirmation Hearing, available at http://www.flintkotebankruptcy.com.

HOW TO OBTAIN DOCUMENTS If you would like additional information about the Plan, Disclosure Supplement and the Trust (including copies of the Plan and the Disclosure Supplement), you may contact the Debtors’ Voting Agent at (800) 290-0537 or visit http://www.flintkotebankruptcy.com.
